I left instagram a few weeks ago. Not due to the new rules. But to its amount of problems.
a) The privacy settings are a joke!
b) Spamers/clickforlikes flooded my pictures.
c) Most pictures where either stolen or ego-pics of duck-face teen girls or boys trying to show off their tiny muscles.
d) the client sucked
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book) by Clifford Stoll
It's about when the Astronomer Clifford Stoll was asked to investigate in a missing 75cent billing in the computer system and he is threwn into a Spy-hunter trail, ending up in an arrest of a West German hacker spying for KGB. Upon reading it I was struck by the inginuity of ways he had to trace the hacker. Also proves the thesis "its the small misstakes that takes down the big thiefs"
It's good to have lend the developers into the delivery project team. They learn how their shortcuts or bad programming habbits actually affect the product that the customer receives.
Sounds like utterly bullcrap to me. The main problem with ADHD is that kids are feed with sugar, sugar, sugar and well more sugar. On top of that all other additives and factory made food that some people put on the table. I mean it's not killing the kids giving them pure water instead of a coke?
Anyway correctly used and not used as cheap baby-sitter, computers are great for kids. The best example is learning kids to read and spell. If you cut away the pen/paper and not force the kids to try to write the letters first but instead let them type the words, sounding etc directly on the computer, they break the reading code much faster. thats because the kids dont need to booth learn to write the letters and sound them at the same time. First understand the letters, then write them by hand.
All in all, learn to cook real food on the thing called "STOVE" at home, throw away crisps, candy, coke. Pure meat contains far more Proteins and good fat than a Pizza and tastes way much better. Dont let the kids play video-games unguarded every day. Send them off out in the woods, make them attend to sports or other social activities. Using the computers as baby sitters is just plain stupid.
The lawyers forget that Sweden is not a state of USA. The kid is safe while the lawyers make an ass of them selves. Sweden has its own laws:) They might aswell try to sue/dev/null
If you are manufacturing medical substances or other things that will need an FDA approval, i'd say you are in DEEP SHIT.
Since you need to at every level in research, manufacoturing etc prove that you have control over everything. Have reliable qualified software and hardware etc.
If you cant prove it. Youre in for a legal ride!
Heard of GxP?
A workaround is possible
Turn off NTP time on the host. And manually (using the VIC) change that date to one week backwards in time. Voila all set to work.
I would like to see some real world tests. Comparing an HP EVA8000 with say 32*146Gb FC-disks, against a ZFC with a decent hardware, like SCSI-Disks, GBIT-network, and everything as redundant as it can be.
Run 10-15 servers against it with "enterprise-like-load" as Exchange 2003+Front-end, 2*DC's 1-2 App-servers, some fileservers and a clusterd MSSQL2005 Solution, maybe a CRM system and a ERP-system. We can even add some spice by adding a VMWARE ESX Server.
Let it run for some months. Which one causes most problems? Which one needs least hands-on-administration. How many severity 1 errors where the direct root cause was failed disk-communiation where there? (NOW don't forget 90% of the enterprises uses Windows-servers so this is a relevant so please dont begin to moan about GNU/Linux this and BSD that.)
What you all people seems to forget is the financial part of a failure. If a server breaks down for an e-commerce vendor, they lose real hard money. If the databases used for a research laboratory fails and 100's of researches cant work, how much do that cost? those money you saved on the homebrewn Storage system is long gone. Thats why enterprises tends to go for the more expensive and proven reliable stuff. (and when it comes to FDA-regulated industry, well don't get me started;)
But on the other hand, people who buy proven saftey tends to get out unharmed more often. Just why do you think people buy Volvo and not an obscure chinese brand?
How is it with redundancy? you got redundant PSU, redundant controlers? redundant Network-paths to and from the server.
Obviously the tech itself have some LARGE advantages. But working with enterprise technology makes you think redundancy*3. (No one wants the SQL-cluster to fail due to a failed PSU that turned out to be a single point of failure.)
Its nice to see Walmart entering the CFL race. With them the price will be pushed down even lower. But without IKEA, the CFL revolution would probably never have started. They have pushed the use of low-power consumption light sources very far.
One advantage with CFL that tends to get overlooked is the wide colorspectrum. Its a better light for humans, animals and plants compared to normal lightbulbs.
No more than a successfull PR-trick from Snapstream. However, If they decide to use these 11-channel-godzilla-mammoth to P2P-TV-SHARE Desperatre housewifes for me, I will probably shut up:-)

"Greetings Professor Falken" need i say more? WarGames is probably the most cheezy movie of them all.

Agree, FDA will be a pain in the but when they perform thier audit. You ned to pratcise GxP at all leveler.

Sorry to tell you, Marantz is not American at all. It's Dutch, it's a brand Owned by Philips.

Sweden had this 8 years ago, whats the news bubba?
I live in the land of free and we dont have softeware patents (And now i dont mean US or thier lapdog Canada)
>>Also, anyone knows what's up with ceiling light sockets that only accept 60W bulbs
Try putting a 100W in a 60W socket and see for yourself. Molten plastic and in worst case a fire.

The same guys aspire for the rulership of our country!
