That's the most asinine plan I've heard. Let the guys who originally kept it secret self censor? WTF!
That's not the way it works, let all government and especially the military be at the mercy of the media. Even this woeful thing we call the media today.
Not the accounting department and that can be good or bad, I've seen both. The method is understandable in large companies, but it does impose a lot of overhead. Small companies who implement it decrease the advantages they have over large ones(flexibility/agility, overhead costs, pleasant working environment) just to pinch a few pennies. My opinion is doesn't work well there.
Exactly when did any consumer ask for advertising? Inconvenience is the point. It's basically the same process that makes shady salesmen successful financially.
I agree those are quite annoying, but they do them for a reason -- it works. Maybe not on you or I or a lot of people, but enough to justify it.
That's why supporting models like adwords is ?good?, and I mean buying not just clicking. Advertisers see they get much better conversion rates from suggestions to interested parties rather than Matthew Lesko style ads.
zfs works in 7.X, just 7.0 -> 7.2 it wasn't considered production ready.
zfs + iscsi integration doesn't work in 8 and didn't work in 7 either because iscsi target support doesn't exist in the base system like OpenSolaris. Running iscsi targets is possible and stable with some implementations from the ports tree however(I assume you tried/usr/ports/net/iscsi-target since you are so down on FreeBSD iscsi target support, use/usr/ports/net/istgt). You don't get the ease of use as in Opensolaris, but a sparse file on a compressed ZFS filesystem makes a fine iscsi target. A normal file on a non-compressed filesystem can also be easily encrypted with GELI if you so desire. GELI would work on sparse file on a compressed FS too, but there's no point in that method.
There's no question where you'd like to be living if you are diagnosed with cancer. The question is do you want a high risk of cancer? If not, then actively ignoring evidence would not be a good strategy. Otherwise, enjoy your years with chemo, radiation and surgical procedures, I hear it's a blast. Those ventilators can give you a few more months or even years to pump up your stats. Also ignore the high child mortality rates and the AIDS epidemic which significantly alter the average life expectancy in developing countries. If you live to age 25 there and don't have AIDS in a developing country, you have a better chance of living to a ripe old age without cancer than a US citizen.
Life expectancy with qualifications is a lot different than raw stat listing of how long the general person might live.
Do those mountain towns have phones in them? Do they have infrastructure? Yes and Yes! Next excuse.
Teleco's don't build the infrastructure because then rural customs all of a sudden have a lot of power like switching to Vonage. Why give them something new when they have an existing cash cow the governments already helped them pay for via subsidies, non-compete agreements, and 0 interest financing?
Yes it's btree based. The special cleanup process is due to HammerFS's automatic snapshots. The fs takes a snapshot every 30 seconds, so a periodic reblocking is needed. The reblocking is trivial to implement and not much overhead either. Because of the way HammerFS is designed, it's left to the administrator of the FS to decide on the details. Reblocking is also for other things. HammerFS is also able to stream to slave computer which rocks. On the todo list is multi-master.
FFS/UFS2 snapshots are extremely similar to WAFL and ZFS, they are all copy-on-write block pointer implementations. To be clear though as it was pointed out earlier to me, NetApp implemented snapshot before FFS did.
You are correct, The cheap snapshots didn't come till ufs2 when Mckusick added the functionality. Much of the fs structure allowing such functionality was in place long before though like pointers and the upper/lower container layers of UFS. NetApp obviously did that well before BSD's and Solaris as well as some other things. My point is they were standing on the shoulders of giants to achieve it.
Yes but Berkley invented FFS before WAFL. While not patented, WAFL implements many of the features of found in FFS eg cheap snapshots, meta-data structure(which allow WAFL to work as it does), etc.
Both WAFL and ZFS are a fork of ideas and methods used in FFS. I don't know the nature of the patents NetApp holds, but if they are these features which ZFS implements then it would be terrible shame if they were able to control this market. That jeopardizes all similar FS's like HammerFS, and which ever linux fs is the next promised saviour as these are becoming more of a requirement than option.
Supermicro, and I'll single out anyone who intentionally deceives me, why aren't you? To the rest of you, it really is okay seek out a different vendor if your current one is making it difficult not walk bow-legged.
As countSudoku() posts, Dell's probably going to be extra careful with hardware for the next short while and the quality will improve for at least a while. If it's possible to take advantage of that extra caution and if you were going to purchase soon anyway, it might be possible to score better than usual machines.
I wonder if BP's board of directors had similar thoughts about their CEO, Tony Hayward.
He won't act like an idiot again. Okay this time we really mean it. We directed him to not speak in public. We've restricted him from public appearances.
Counting on corporate shame as a method for fixing behavior is ridiculous. There is no such thing as corporate shame.
Did they reimburse you for the lost productivity? No? Even after they knowingly sent you a faulty system, you're still willing to give them a free pass. You're free to bend over for whoever you like but I'll take my anger standing up, thanks.
Unless you think they're going to waste time with some hardcore black-box type shit.
Yeah, I imagine if they were going to deceive the participants, they wouldn't take steps to hide it. It's probably just plaintext HTTP post requests or some XML-RPC's.
On a serious note, if there is a good level of security on the device the best you can hope for is learning destination address(es), payload signatures, payload captures, and traffic patterns. All these items are relatively meaningless unless you have a high degree of knowledge. A serious crytpo person might able to get more detail, but the skills of such an individual != "reasonably competent techie" despite whatever the techie may think. I think you'd hard-pressed to find any similar projects that don't have at least some elements of "black box" -- yes even those that include opensource applications.
I also imagine some Canadians would appreciate you changing or removing your sig.
He was a public figure. Controversial views can easily damage public opinion of someone if they are trying to appeal the mainstream. See Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise etc. My understanding of his late life jottings is that he did have plenty of secrets about his personal views. His more popular works obviously covered a wide spectrum, but he didn't often blatantly criticize he felt were absurd. Instead he wrapped his criticisms in humor and innuendo, letting the reader explore the view in a more self discovering manner.
Sadly, I don't think 100 years was enough as US has regressed enough in it views in the last 10 years to put us right at the trailing edge of Clemens era again in many ways.
By Newsweeks metric no one is "conservative" enough.
Yup, that was the point along with showing that Republicans have shifted farther right in their views.
As far as GDP goes, the devil is in the details. If you compare our military spending as a portion of our budget, it's a staggering 23%. You'll also notice our neighbors in that graph come from some fairly hostile regions.
If you want to stay along the lines of GDP, you'll see US hit it's low water mark at the end of the Clinton administration. Since Vietnam, the percentage has been under 10%. As a general rule of thumb, that number increases while a Republican is in office and decreases otherwise, although the difference can be called negligible.
The main point was the shifting of the political spectrum to right. It's happening to the Democrats as well, see Alan Mollohan, WV. The entire bell curve is shifting in this part of the world.
Yes it does, perhaps you've missed moderate Republicans like Charlie Crist and Bob Benett losing their primaries because they aren't far-right enough in their views.
Even Reagan Wasn’t a Reagan Republican NEWSWEEK's apostasy guide: why every recent GOP president wasn't conservative enough for today's party. http://www.newsweek.com/id/237737
That's an offending false choice and the answer is both. Reagan's "prosperity" was more than offset by the amount of debt he burdened this country with which still needs to be paid someday. If you look at the other features of his "prosperity", perhaps you wouldn't be so enamored with it.
You'll notice the second and third articles directly reference the loss of farm income that in nearly decimated the family farm. Several members of my family and neighbors including my father were forced to declare bankruptcy due the policies in place at the time. If you check out the data, you'll see the scope of this crisis was not limited to my area. Obviously, not all of this was caused by Reagan, but he essentially worsened already bad policies, instituted other "corporate friendly" ones, and failed to act in any meaningful way.
You might say "good, I'm not a fan of farm subsidies anyway". Well, if you're speaking of today's farm subsidies I would completely agree on some of them, but during the time period they were much more limited. The only widespread mid-west grain farm subsidy I'm aware of was a farm and ranch conservation program which might get you enough money to make the loan payments while the land was in the program.
Now if you talk about his peace, where do you want to start? The huge amassing of weapons? Supplying the middle-east with them? The Cold War(a.k.a.) The largest waste of money, man power, intelligence, and resources in the history of mankind(the fire Reagan loved stoking)? Or the other conflict he liked to poke with a stick Iran-Iraq(eventually leading the area to it's current state)? Not to mention his corrupt administration which easily surpasses Nixon. Iran-contra? Iran hostage crisis?
Your anecdotal stories are really only relevant to you. You'd be better off on/. presenting some sort of statistical evidence for your claim otherwise it's simply FUD and readers are correct to dismiss it as such. We're all here for conversation so if you have a real point bring it.
