Having to deal with gun toting security staff, being strip searched, waiting hours without food/water would play on anyones nerves. Isnt this a form of torture?
Really gets fun when you have backup interfaces, load balance interfaces, command and control interfaces, heart beat interfaces, etc, etc.. And then throw in clustering.:)
An example of a database machine
MNDB01 - main machine (Local host name also) MNDB01a - failover interface MNDB01b - Backup interface (We use 192.168.x.x for backup network only, you got 3 non-routable networks to use!) MNDB01c - Control interface MNDB01h - heartbeat interface (If clustered) We use sun boxes with dual quad nic cards and 2 internal nics for 10 total)
MNDB02 - cluster server MNDB11 - Complex 1, etc, get the idea.
We also use domain names cc.work.com - command and control network, which we use for ssh/www/etc.. mndb01c.cc.work.com is only accessable from our secure desktop network for the network operation command center. Only way into the servers, this is your work network for maintence and configuration. It does not touch a production router.:)
All production servers that talk to the main DB will use MNDB01.production.work.com (Different Network!) All communications with the other servers use the production network, unless you have a dedicated network for this bandwidth. Sometimes good for syslog servers to log into 1 syslogd server.
I really like the idea of region addresses, but you can go really overboard. database01.location.valley.city.zip.state.carrier. dept.company.com
Washington State crim^H^H^H^HPoliticians don't care about the public. We have passed numerous tax breaks just to have them over turned in court, because they infringe on the states rights to tax. They would love it if we just shut up and let the do whatever they want.
The politics are just as bad as any other state, they will screw you over any way they can to make a buck.
However, it's more complicated than that. Recordable DVD technologies are a single-sided, single-layer format that holds 4.7GB. I own a lot of DVD movies, and just about every movie in my collection uses one or more single-sided, dual-layer discs that hold 9.4GB each. There are exceptions; I have a few double-sided, single-layer discs that have a widescreen version on one side and a pan and scan on the other, but those are few and far between. I'm sure you can see the problem at this point. In the vast majority of cases, it's the 10-lbs.-of-crap/5-lb.-sack problem: it just won't fit.
I can hear your next question: But can't we just break the movie up onto multiple discs? Again, in theory, I'm sure it's possible. But at that point you're talking about completely redoing all the menus on the DVD, so each disc only has menu selections for the stuff on that disc. Can you say "time-consuming?"
The DeCSS rippers ive seen rips region and macrovision! Strip the extra tracks, downmix the AC3 (God no, but for size if you must) and you can fit it on one 4.7 DVD. I personally cant wait for this use, so I can stop using my vhs/cdr solution. I would rather dump in divx or mpeg2 onto a dvd disc. Lucky I can get about 2-3 tv shows on CD.
Am I the only one who records Futurama in divx or pmeg on CD? How about you tivo users, dumping to tape/cd? (BTW, this is fair use, so dont start bashing me..)
Soon as the cost comes down per DVDR blank, Im getting one. 35 Cents for a blank keeps me using CDR.
Security is never a concern for developers, but it better be for the operations group. Anyone can put in a node, but someone feed and water it while its in production. We have teams that do this on a daily basis, more proactive then reactive, if you just sit by and wait for alarms, you can expect an alarm "You've been hacked..."
BTW, I have to make sure my patches are upto date, and do regular security audits. But im doing 2G/3G data, which is a little different from voice. Thou in the 3G voice/data world, its has more inter-dependices than 2g.
Not true. 3G networks are built from the ground up with security and operability. There isn't the 100+ legacy issues to deal with. Our 3G network is an overlay network, it sits on top of the 2G network, and is deployed where the demand is, then rolled out on schedule. We have more firewalls, command and control networks, backup networks, and intrusion detection on these networks than on the 2G. This is the future of the company, we want to make sure its damn secure and unbreakable, we get to build it right this time, perfect.
Currently we don't use IPv6, Our phone IP space is nat'ed. But we don't even care about your IP, we bill on your IMSI which is programmed in your SIM Card. But yes, we have these neat sniffers that will show your phone from the (gb) base station link to the (gi) Internet connection. Nice real time ping pong charts that show your every move. Oh yes, and we have location based services, we know where you are. (For E911 etc..)
Interesting fact, most of us read/. and attend the black hat security conferences. This is the place that hires the hackers. Hell I even have a copy of 2600 on my desk, nobody said a damn word. lol.. - All comments are my own, not of my employer.

That really smacks of American Bashing. Thank you for reading/. located in the USA.
American cost of living is higher. This also helps with excess spending, which in turns helps all the other countries. Americans also work more hours and take less vacations. We work average 50 hours a week in the US. We produce 80% of the worlds top movies and music. ARPAnet aka Internet was designed and implemented in the USA.
My favorite story was a company that moved all its call centers to India. Just to find out that the call centers had to close due to some riots and local gun fights. Company thought it would save money, but lost many of its big customers.
Americans arnt overpaid, in our market, we are paid just right.
My god how can this be marked up? Are you even on a modem? I have a 128K link now, and it SUCKS! The only good thing about it is its business class idsl, so I have low ping. If I had this ping on a 768K or 1.5Mb connection I would be in heaven!
Anyone who says speed isnt needed is smoking crack. I could make a bullet list and pretend I knew what I was talking about too. But the fact is, SLOW LINK = SLOW DOWNLOAD. My time and enjoyment is worth money. Maybe you want to surf at 56K (ha, if..) and wait minutes for pages to load, and get your ass kicked at RTCW or MOHAA. Myself, I need the speed, I use the bandwidth for content I create (Family Photos etc..), VOIP, Multiple people in the house surfing at once, and many more uses than I should even have to list.
@Home died because it was controlled by Control freaks. They strangeled it, they tortured it, they gave it away cheap, they abused thier customers, they took the money and ran.

1. Insurance companies not insuring norms. (I hate the term, but it fits) 2. Low-income families cannot afford screenings, genetic divide. 3. Normal People replaced in the workforce, 2-3 generations from implementation. 4. Screenings will filter out "Genius" and "Artists" 5. Unseen effects after multiple generations of "Altered" humans. 6. Altered humans breed for specific tasks. 7. Rights for Altered and Normal humans. 8. Social interactions between enhanced/altered humans. 9. Economic benefits for enhanced/altered humans.
I think if we could have 3 rules/laws, there would be no worries. 1. DNA Privacy laws. 2. DNA Discrimination laws. 3. Free screening and genetic altering.
Would really be a bitch that my kids cannot get into college, or find work because I could not afford these screenings. They are denied life/health insurance, or any other things we become accustomed to in our daily life. While there are some DAMN good uses for this, this is a very fundamental change to our existance. We need to have basic protections put in place.
Or maybe, we are all over-reacting?

Don't confuse pricing per Kbyte for normal data transfers and data from internal content providers. Each packet is logged and marked. They can track every packet that is external or internal content, and price per packet on destination. The phone companies will let you use their content providers at a cheaper rate, almost unlimited for a small price.
Then you get locked into their content, everything else costs too much. Nice business model, locks customers into a controlled subscription rate.
Of course you can pay 10x the cost and listen to mp3.com. - Today you can go to a gas station and find the cash register open and the toilets locked. They must think toilet paper is worth more than money. - Joey Bishop
If you want to get more video game music, there is streaming mp3 video game music at Scene Music. They have reflectors around the world, so you should be able to listen to a stream near you. If your lucky enough to have a high speed dsl, try the 128K stream.

I dont think you even have to mention escrow till after you won the bid. Seems like it would be standard practice when you purchase a legitimate painting and need to get it authenticated. The last scam I saw on ebay was a guy selling fake paintings.
My favorite e-bay scam is the "x box" picture going for 500 bux.
... but police and government officials in Third World (and some first and second world) countries have been known to use it. Instead of taking measly little bribes all the time, make yourself out to be "incorruptible" and wait for the big one.

Its not like the UK where you can take buses or trains, in the US, you must have a car. Seattle has pushed the light rail back for 15 years now, We have no idea when we will get it.
Humm, If you count all the extra expense that lower income people pay, its a wonder how people make it. If you have no credit you must pay deposits, you have higher rates on goods, the only thing the same is fixed goods. Prepaid services are 30-80% higher, and thier target market is low income households and kids.
The A7V266E is a damn good board, everytime it crashed it was an Nvidia driver BSOD with conflicts with DirectX. Really happy after I found the beta bios drivers on the germany asus ftp site.:) ME lub the google search.
..they say the increased liability of a speeding car amounts to about $0.37 in insurance cost, not the $150 they were charging.
Really sucks if you get a divorce or have a medical problem, and then they nicely raise your rates for no reason other than your credit rating changes. Here in Washington state insurance companies are getting away with murder, if you have low credit or bad credit they want to charge you more, even if you have a perfect driving record. This is known as Credit Scoring, and our Gov. Gary Locke is trying to pass a bill to make it illegal.
I love that scene in fight club where the insurance companies are blown up.:)
