  1. Re:Not a surprise on Borland/Codegear Doesn't Plan to Revive Kylix · · Score: 1

    Linuzz people had natural dislike for poor products. First version of Kylix was epitaph of "How not to do applications for linux" - Only crowd it had any effect in my eyes was windows programmers who didnt know anything about linux programming and wanted kylix to lower the learning curve. And it did poor job in that.

    Shitty product. FPC project and their gui ide is shitloads better product even thou it might even still be beta/alpha quality..

    If you really think that "It was supposed to impress you", you where not the person to understand my point. Few issues with your reply: Fanboy mentality, and erm.. Fanboy mentality.

    Yes, the feared roll back. Alot of those still happened during the time i spent to suck of evercrack. But they got better and later on, i dont remember any rollbacks happening and also, they didnt bother me... But lets think about this. So, Verant did that as their first big mmorpg ? And they had the biggest crowd playing at one point, yet i dont *ever* remember *weekly* scheduled downtimes that never held the promised eta's anyway.

    Ofcourse there where downtimes and servers crashing and what not, maybe they would have had things abit more under control if they would have had weekly downtimes, who knows.. But Blizzard has those, they are annoying even if they dont affect me for the most part, i would think that with all the experience in making games, making Online games blizzard has, having continuous system would be archievable. And the expertise of running such huge systems has increased over the time. Its not like one has to re-invent the friggin wheel everytime someone wants to make a mmorpg..

    So, i say, not giving my thumbs up for blizzard for one detail, downtime.. And to sooth your obvious fanboy mentality, i dig wow. its nice, i play it alot but go sod of somewhere else flaming people for having 1 bad word about the crown jewel..

    Good nite!

  3. Blizzard ETA's on World of Warcraft Tuesday Maintenance A Thing of the Past · · Score: 1

    Couple of hours during the workday you say ?

    Ok, let me explain my pov first. I've played MMORPG's since Ruins Of Kunark release (first expansion to Everquest 1).. Since then i've played Eq2, Uo, Daoc, AO, SWG, many betas - same games which never came out, some that did. Basicly i've have had subscription to some mmorpg spanning for a quite a long time and, to wow, since its release in europe.

    And i have to say one thing.

    BLIZZARD AND THEIR PATCH ETA'S ARE HUGE JOKE! Content patches, no matter what they promise, the servers are never ever ever back online when i get back home from work and i live on +2h timezone from servertime. Also, they promise one eta and then 1-1.5 hours later after that said eta (well, its not estimated for no reason, but still) they inform that there's new eta but they cannot promise anything and then list few servers that are affected. Which is nice. But would be better if they just would include all the servers because, if something goes fscked up, all the "up" servers are equally fscked up because of the server loads or something else.

    So, if this actually works. Yey for blizzard. but in the meantime, i wont be holding my breath for servers to come back online...

  5. Google mail forwards. on GMail and Sourceforge E-mail Bouncing Saga · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While i understand that this post will be read by noone because im not writing this to the topic thats still hot, i'd like to share my experiences. *Gmail* Looses Forwarded Mails. Sometimes. I have my domain thats *now* being hosted in gmail. At one point when my domain was not in use due to outtake on my internet connection, i started to use regular gmail xyz.zxy@gmail.com, about 6 months later, my domain was "accepted" to the beta phase of gmail for your own domains. As i was allready so used to that account and had all my calendar there, i just forward all my mail from my own domain to regular gmail account - and *alot* of messages never reach from One gmail account (hosted) to Another Gmail account (normal gmail). All the messages are visible ofcourse where they first come into the system but they are never delivered to the main account where im supposed to read'em.

  7. Simple and Elegant: MON on What Do You Use for SNMP Monitoring? · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.kernel.org/software/mon/ I was one of the implementation crew for small noc (about 7 people incl. managers) and approx 150 machines in various locations.. I reviewed quite a lot of free software and while most of them where looking quite nice (nagios/bigbrother/etc.), allmost all of them where filled with features that where really not essential just for "monitor the healt of the system" so i ended up with mon. Mon, for me was really the "unix way" of creating stuff, make things easy/simple and extend it with other tools.. The generic layout we used was net-snmp on client hosts either being polled in intervals or sending traps to the main machines.

    Quote from ddos article:
    "It was down for over 30 minutes," said Ben-David. "I couldn't log in because thousands of http processes were running, demanding resources from the MySql database."

    Good admin would have configured mysql/apache/middletier in a way that a) apache rejects excessive requests b) middletier doesnt clog up the mysql connections c) mysql would only allow certain amount of concurrent requests d) all of the above.

    Stuff like above happens when someone just drops prebuild binaries with default configuration to the box and starts to host a website.

    Finnish media reported that the UN Observers where bombed for *hours* and they where calling their own representatives and israeli fire lead to stop the bombing because the bombs where getting very close to the observation post. Had few beers but if i remember right, the bombings start around 13:30 finnish time and OP went quiet around 19:15 when the made direct hit into the bunker where the 3 un personnel where located. All the pleas where replied by "Yes, we will stop the bombarding" but it didnt happen.

    I used to work in company that produced software for pharmacies. One of the last assignments in the job, we migrated the whole damn thing from SCO+Ingres 6.4 to Linux running Ingres II. The transition was really smooth - i'd say that the most work was caused by the fact that we had to rewrite some ksh scripts to bash . Also, i'd like to point that even thou im really really not a fanboy of sco software, the administration of then sco openserver machines was really easy.
