i was wondering the same thing... i dont have scrubbing enabled on my opteron workstation. i should do a memory benchmark test or two and turn it on to see how it compares.
a T1 is now the rich man's dial-up. in fact if the gov't upgrades its definition of broadband T1 will not fall into that bracket. I really hope they do go through with that.
Anyway, I had 10mbit up 10mbit down fiber at my last apartment for $50 a month in Wisconsin. A town or two actually has fiber to every home. If only the rest of America would follow suit....
I've used ESX 2.5 at a previous job. It definitely REQUIRES Linux to function. I dont understand how they claim it runs "directly on the hardware". It's a lie or it's a poor use of buzzwords.
I see it as this: through interaction with a modified Linux kernel and this binary blob they have achieved near native hardware access for all virtual machines.
*Web interface is run on Apache on the Linux part *All virtual machine data is stored on a LINUX filesystem... ext3 *SSH is of course running on the Linux OS, not this magical vmware one they claim *I actually think I remember both SAMBA and NFS being available for use *There is no strict hardware device requirements for ESX. If it can run on Linux, ESX will function. This further cements my theory of this blob.
They rely on Linux a lot more than they claim to and perhaps they really are infringing somehow, but I'm not so sure. I think you could compare this to VMWare Server's binary blob that lets you run virtual machines. I don't really see what the huge difference is except it doesn't have the ability to communicate other VMWare Server daemons and migrate virtual machines. Oh, and the performance has been severely neutered...
yeah, but learning how to write device drivers for Minix is a pretty useless skill.
The point of this is to teach people a useful skill so they can help the Linux community. If the goal here was teaching people how to write general device drivers it wouldn't be centered around Linux.
The woman who reported the machine to the casino has it right - the casino doesn't give you your money back if a machine jams, so it shouldn't work the other way.
I work in a casino repairing slot machines at the moment, and yes, if a machine jams, the patron DOES get their money back. The casino by law cannot pick up change off the floor nor can they keep any money that was put into a machine but the machine didnt register. The patron will always get their money back after an investigation is completed and it is determined that the money really does belong to the patron.
Problem solved. I know a south african cryptologist that is selling this technology. Remote detonation and disarment manually or automatically by remote satellite access.
Now he just needs to get the militarys of the world to sign on.

and tell them no. If they want to make a fuss, quit. If they have pirated software already in place, report them to the BSA.
That's what I did in November. Quit and reported. I refused to install pirated copies of Office, Photoshop, and XP. I had only recently discovered that XP and Office were indeed pirated. Found out the RHEL server was pirated. Discovered a couple of the Server 2003s were pirated...
I took the door. I'm not risking my ass over a job. It's just a JOB!!
PS: I'll never let that happen again... never will I work at a business like that again. Never...
I see where you're going with this. I think we can agree that these problems will likely be resolved as the IPV6 backbone grows, expands, and matures.
I see that google is buying up tons of IPV6 real estate... lets hope they will be kind enough to sell at reasonable prices.... but yeah, IPV4 prices per address and block is pretty unreasonable.
Really? And did you take into account that when ipv6 goes worldwide the addressing will be more logical? It will put LESS stress on the routers and the latency will be lower due to a more organized routing network? (This is when ipv4 is dead and the routers dont hold both tables)
With ipv4 you could have addresses that resolve to Texas, Australia AND Europe even if they were in the same block, or very close, which is rediculously unorganized.
I reported my previous boss to the BSA for his heavy piracy (which lead to my quitting) and guess what -- he's still in business and hasn't been contacted. It's been two months. He had several 2003 Enterprise Servers and at least 100 XP and Office XP that were pirated. Not to mention the VMWare ESX Servers that were pirated, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (seriously, why? WHY!?), and the many copies of Photoshop.
He's still somehow in business when he couldn't afford the licenses for that stuff anyway. I've never been contacted back by the BSA. Needless to say, I'm rather upset, and wish I could just do some vigilante justice and nuke his systems, but I have morals.
It's impossible to reach TomTom on the phone, they tend not to answer e-mail, and their web site is such a muddle that finding updates and information is nearly impossible. They don't even have a user forum. Their web site is so convoluted, even finding out how and where to purchase map updates is an exercise in extreme tedium. Wow that IS difficult!

Jesus I've never seen anything so difficult!!!!
This article is complete shit. Anyone with half a brain knows how spammers work. And the #1 thing they try to do is send to your BACKUP if you have one.
"Why, oh why would they do such a thing?" you might ask.
Because if they send to your backup, there's a better chance that your backup server isn't setup as well as your main server. ie, you probably don't have a proper spam filtering service on there because you only use it in emergencies. This means their spam gets through your filters because it didn't go through any.
In Soviet Russia, vulnerability finds YOU!
Seriously though, do you think those underground Russian hackers will haggle with VeriSign? They were selling for a lot more than $8,000!

Where can someone show me the proper way to use a JAIL on Linux? Do we actually have that capability? And if not, why the hell not?

Hey now you really shouldnt be sending the Vista ISO around like that...

you're hurting the disks more every time you spin them back up. the spin down is a very dangerous but power saving trick.
if you value the longevity of your drives and your data, you wont use it.

there, now everybody should feel at home
seriously though, it would be cool if this was offered at major universities. but you'd need knowledgable instructors and they'd be hard to come by.

I did Slackware 10 on a Pentium 90 (or lower, cant remember) with 4MB of ram.
I used it as an SSH Reverse tunnel to get into a customer's network when the ISP was NAT'ing everybody because they were re-issuing addresses.

ahh well that's a little bit clearer now.
too bad it has to be like that... sounds like they could be a better company!

Huh, imagine that.
Will it run in Wine? :P
I disagree. I've made it plenty of times to California being only able to shoot and kill rabbits.

It uses less than half a megabytes according to my observations on both Linux and Windows.
It would help if you researched first.
Why do you use Ad Block Plus? It just bloats up firefox!
:)
Use Privoxy and force Firefox / Opera through the proxy on your localhost. It filters the ads for you!
Also, I just tested -- I created an account on Yahoo and tried regular Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Mail Beta.
I saw no ads. None. Nada.
Privoxy > Ad Block Plus in my opinion. I never see ads thanks to this. And it's less work.
Give it a shot guys.
