Having a separate box for each service is not necessarily a good idea. This is energy inefficient and you have a lot of wasted computing resources. That said, virtualization that has been done with little thought or planning is a disaster waiting to happen. I for one, would use Cirtix XENServer. Smaller services such as DNS, DHCP, and FTP can be collapsed into a virtualization server and dedicate one core to each service. If you are adventurous, you could use that same box for routing using OpenBSD. This makes much better use of a mutlicore server. More critical services such as WWW and E-Mail are best left on their own servers. A balance of techniques work better than an either or approach.
False advertising pretty much happens ALL of the time. No advertisement is 100% truthful. I guess you have to cross some invisible, arbitrary line before it becomes a civil tort issue. I mean, come on, if the lose weight fast commercials are any indication, false advertising does happen. This sounds like AT&T is just upset because Verizon is pissing in its Cheerios.
AT&T should get its due reprisal for selling out the constitutional rights of its customers through wonton participation in the BushCo's illegal, warrantless wire tapping program. If AT&T were the last cell phone company, I'd get a ham radio license before using them.
I have an allergy to B.S. This sounds, at best, very suspect. You don't need a Windows computer to write viruses for Windows. You can compile binaries intended for Win32 on a Linux or BSD machine. Heck, you could even use PHP, PERL, or other to take advantage of a security hole in Windows.
This is just idle speculation, but what if they took care of the 'keeping steady' part for you? Both for speed and direction. For speed, it would be like you are always using cruise control, the neutral forward/back position means maintain the current speed. Back a little is coast, back a lot is brake. Steering is harder, obviously, but is a move towards auto-drive systems that most of us have wanted for decades.
That could probably work. If some artificial feedback was built into the joystick, it could work well. When Airbus went to a joystick, fly by wire system, they had to create artifical feedback because pilots were oversteering and over-correcting.
In the late 80s, early 90s Saab experimented with a joystick control, a "drive by wire if you will." Stephanie Stahl from 60 minutes did a story on the drive by wire Saab. Ultimately, it proved not to be the game changer everyone thought. The joystick was placed where the gear shifter normally was. One of the problems was the sensitivity and lack of road feedback. It was actually hard to drive and keep steady.
I use it for my father's site-to-site VPN and the ease of configuration of OpenBSD's ipsec.conf makes it wonderful. It is highly reliable and, in the two years I have had it implemented it went down due to the failure of the onboard NIC in a Dell Server. I simply threw in a spare INTEL PRO/100 (em) and it was back up within 5 minutes.
I work in the industry and I believe that a Bill of Rights for passengers is long overdue. Will it necessarily cost the airline more in revenue, no. But, the demands need to be reasonable.
I can understand basic inalienable rights like food, shelter, clothing, and adequate healthcare. But a right to have internet access? I can only imagine what this will do to Finland's taxes. While a noble idea, it is utopian. If people want internet access there are forums like libraries which provide the access free of charge. I do not mind paying taxes to support basic inalienable rights, but when it comes to these extras, I have to draw the line. I am also not an advocate of free education above high school as I believe the onus is on the individual to take and bare some responsibility on their own lives. I'll admit, I did not RTFA this time but the mere mention of internet access being a right is an example of liberalism gone horribly wrong.
The only time a resume gets thrown into the trashcan right away is if I see "telemarketing" in any fashion that doesn't involve stopping them or hunting them down. It's something you try to hide, not something to put on your resume. I want someone with some brains.
That is an awfully poor assumption to make about someone. Automatically discounting someone based upon your own personal bias is a great way to overlook someone with talent. This is something the PHB would do. I wouldn't be proud of posting something that makes you seem somewhat shallow. I worked for a telemarketing company and I became an expert, literally overnight with Cisco VoIP telephony and LAN/WAN telecommunications products. I would argue that my experience was good. The company I worked for did not behave shadily, I was only laid off after an economic downturn back in 2007. I would go back in a heartbeat.
The EU forced open much of the Microsoft protocols in their recent ruling. They forced Microsoft to document everything allowing Samba to do its work with much greater ease then simply trying to reverse engineer. Microsoft did not have to provide material assistance but chose to do so even though the documentation of the protocols met the requirements of the EU ruling. And, while other Slashdotters have noted, it is moving at a glacial pace but still has all the latest active directory features and once Samba 4 exits alpha, it will be really quite a quality product and ahead of its time. No doubt, Redmond might also be curious about Samba 4. They might also see some of the innovations by this small group and get some new ideas. It is an informational exchange.
Linux is still lacking the smoothness of Windows 7 if we want to compare desktops. I love open source and am generally an advocate of it but open source really excels in the server arena. I have found Linux on the desktop to be cumbersome, slow, and kludgey. Each time I try it, I am met with frustration - some of this may be me, I admit but I am good at troubleshooting things. It feels like when something goes wrong with Network Manager, it is a bear to diagnose and fix. When I post questions after legitimate googling, I get RTFM. What happens when TFM is written poorly?
You are incorrect. GPOs have been implemented in Samba 4 and they have been there for a while. Why not try to do some more homework? It is basically or will be capable of completely replacing Windows as a Domain Controller. If you are a Windows centric shop, this is some cost savings but you would still use Windows for hosting other Microsoft technologies like Sharepoint. Samba's goal was always to be a file/print server. Now they are adding the basic and important management features of AD. Samba's work makes it possible to build a mini domain controller in a low power appliance for use in a branch small branch office or something of that nature.
if the reason that the big boys don't want to go to IPv6 is that they stand to lose an additional money maker. They can charge for publicly available IP addresses with IPv4. In IPv6, every address would be public. This might explain carrier reluctance to make the change. It gives them one less way to nickle and dime the consumer.
But the corporate chicken shits will be issuing DMCA take down notices by the dozen. Notice how that it is illegal for Ford and GM to cripple their engines such that they can only use certain parts and exclude others. If GM made an engine that ceased to function if you used a Slappy's Air Filter, there'd be a hue and cry raised - not that you'd necessarily want to use a second rate component in your car. HMMM - I wonder. Has the hardware/software lobby become too powerful?
This deals a significant blow to consumer rights and makes it very difficult to regulate and watch dog corporations. I guess we have GOP judge. This ruling should again be appealed to be heard by a higher authority.
We use sharepoint at work as a repository for documentation. While I am not enamored that it is proprietary, I do think it is intuitive and useful. I haven't found that our data is trapped inside sharepoint. I can easily extract the data and move it elsewhere. The article is a bit vague.
Perhaps, but let's wait and see what becomes of the network neutrality legislation. Let's see what loopholes their might be. If the wording is unambiguous, Comcast will be f*ed. They won't be able to charge higher prices for long because competition will muscle in and be able to partially use their bandwidth because throttling or queueing will be a violation of the law.
A large reason for this was the pricing protection and the delaying of network neutrality that the Bush Administration gave the telecom industry. It filled the telecom industry full of hubris. The good news is that this hubris is nothing more than hot air and once network neutrality becomes law, we will see the end of price collusion and more competition. Network neutrality is the telecom company's worst fear because it means that they must upgrade their network to deal with the increased bandwidth needs, not continually tweak one that is past its prime. If the Verizons, AT&Ts, Comcasts, and Qwests won't do it, other competition will move in. When other competition does move in and finds that data moving over the big boys network is significantly throttled, they'll have an army of evidence that these companies are breaking the law. Then, the big boys will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. When Japan had fibre to the home at 10GB symmetric at the turn of the century, you know that the US is significantly behind the technology curve only in the name of maximizing profits for shareholders.
It's so terrible, it induces an entirely new emotion: a blend of vertigo, disgust, anger and embarrassment which I like to call "shitasmia". It not only creates this emotion: it defines it. It's the most shitasmic cultural artefact in history.

Funny, I thought that was what CARP and pfsync were. They are for failover but I don't know about clustering and load balancing.
