  1. Pay cut on Ask Slashdot: Would You Take a Pay Cut To Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    I just switched jobs from a full time onsite to a 20% travel telecommute job. I was initially offered a 8% pay cut, but after my interviews was offered a higher salary than my previous one. The ability to walk away for a while, the lack of stress, and being at home really makes this feel more like a vacation than a real job. It's the happiest I have been so far in any job.

    US Government is actually investing more in Oracle now than before. Its become a "one stop shop". Servers, Linux, and DB all at one place.

  7. Re:Eh? on Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? · · Score: 1

    If they are on a legacy FC array, like the Hitachi AMS500, a terabyte of space runs about 17,000$USD with 15K FC attached storage (72GB per disk). Then on top of that, you have people who support it. San Administrators and System Administrators, which are probably making 70k+ per year. Then you have Backup Administrators which also make ~70k+ per year, and have to work with software which has a yearly cost of ~20k per year. So you get this legacy system which nobody wants to upgrade cause We have it, why not use it? and you spend a ton of money on it, and have to reclaim it somehow. Though 30$USD / GB is alot. I think we are ~5USD/GB or so here on that exact above system.

  9. Re:Deleted all the backups??? on Virginia Health Database Held For Ransom · · Score: 1

    Companies used to do backups, disk to disk to tape. Source, to repository, to tape. With Data domains and products like CommVault, a lot of people are now doing disk to disk to off site disk array. We can take and put ~1 year of continuous nightly backups on a data domain, and have it instantly retrievable.

  10. Re:The arguments of olde on DC Power Poised To Bring Savings To Datacenters · · Score: 1

    I think it was a reference to the old command and conquer. There was a map where you had to get Einstein from one point in the map to another. There were telsa coils everywhere that fried him. If I remember correctly.

    In California, If a security person detains you, you can Sue, and will probably win. Of course you have to ask to leave, and they imply that you can't ask. That is wrong, to an extent. As a security officer for the last year that has all of the permits excepting the handgun permit, the actual way it should be put is, "If a security guard detains you for a wrong reason, (accuses and detains for stealing when you have no items). Then you can sue and will probably win. Second, if you are caught doing something wrong, tresspassing, stealing, inciting a riot, the security officer can detain you and call the police. There can be no search of your person. The only search a security officer is allowed to do is a swift pat down for weapons. Though, if the officer suspects you of having a item that is stolen, they must know where on your person it is before retrieving it. If their suspicions are wrong, then you can sue and will probably win. California laws are really weird. If a security officer handcuffs you and hurts you, you can most likely sue and win. Most officers do not have proper handcuffing licences. Though there is no specific law that says you need to have a license to own and use handcuffs. The license is the item that will negate most lawsuits.
