Well, only if the end point of the tube is lower than the start point. Without air pressure, you cannot route packets uphill and certainly not uphill both ways.
Everybody and his uncle tries to make systems that will index every piece of crap on your PC and it invariably results in a useless and horrible waste of resources. The biggest annoyance is trying to figure out how to turn these damn things off.
Considering that the average user only searches for something once in several years, an on-demand search system makes far more sense.
"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." -- Marcus Cicero, circa 50BC.
Well, should these companies not ask Microsoft for a bail-out? After all, it was the Microsoft marketing machine that fooled them and made them miss the rise of the Mac and Linux which have a much smaller need for DRAM.
It is actually much worse in an enterprise. Thanks to the excellent MS Active Directory and never ending bug updates from MS, a PC in a large corp can take half an hour or more to boot up.
Mine usually takes about 45 minutes to boot up and several days to shut down, since there are always new patches to install. I can tell it to shut down over a long weekend, and when I come back 3 days later, it is still running and trying to shut down.
"Tier I flasks increase XP by 10% and cost $1.00. Tier II flasks increase XP by 25% and cost $5.00. Tier III flasks increase XP by 50%, and cost $10.00 each. All flask tiers last for 4 hours on use, and more than one can't be used at a time."
What has MS service contracts got to do with this game?

The company was gay, they turned night into day."
The centre of the Milkyway must be a very inhospitable place, with lots of high energy radiation. That could explain why we are out here on a spiral arm.
Uhh, that is why we have Linux Distributions from Mandriva, Novel, Canonical and Redhat that provide all those features you are yammering about for a minimal support fee, without you having to script stuff yourself. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee.
The consumer grade firewalls just need to be a little different in order to provide default security to consumers or small businesses. They should block all addresses unless explicitly allowed/assigned by the LAN DHCP and should not allow incoming connections. IPV6 doesn't mean an end to centrally controlled DHCP address assignments.
There are still situations where NAT would be used, even with IPV6. For example when you have a multitude of complex, identical mobile systems, such as ships, aircraft, tanks, armored personnel carriers and so on. Since these machines are complex and hard to set up, you want them to be identical on the inside, which implies some sort of NAT on the outside.
Yup, I'm sure they will have no shortage of test subjects and whenever they need more, they can go and round them up. However, no amount of test subjects can make a bad machine work.
Actually, a simple one line IPtables rate limit on port 22 new connection attempts (or whichever port you use for SSH is better than Fail2ban or Denyhosts, because it will never lock yourself out.
I suspect that the author has such a limit on his firewall machine and that it is the reason why he sees the slow attack rates and that the slowness has nothing to do with the attackers!
These type of stats always ignore the bulk of Linux devices. There are more than 300 million Linux devices sold every year. The total number of Linux devices outnumbers everything else by a wide margin.
However, it is nice to know that Microsoft still supplies 100% of all Windows systems...
If most of the world's web systems use MySQL in its present form, would it not make sense to halt development of the program and go into bug fix maintenance mode, since the lacking features are obviously not required?
...but if you switch to Citadel on a single little server, what are you going to do with the dozens of redundant Exchange servers? Think of the hardware!

Some things never change.

You could set up a NFS distributed file system. That may be more amenable to your boss and will have other advantages too.
Yup, and if you follow that link will see that there is no such plan.
Man your minimum wage must be really low. ;)

Just ask a rock band to solve the problem.
My answer when guys at school asked why I don't play rugby.

Of course. We can use Ruby on Railguns...
...and you can make me the sole beneficiary.
...and if we screw up and you don't get hit, then we can drop a nuke on one of your major cities for effect.
Actually, shipping it is easy. Finding it again is difficult.
"less cyanogen' - sounds like local comets are held together with super glue, while this comet is held together with alien chewing gum.
Well, your base assumption is that Jesus actually existed, which is already a big leap of faith.

There, fixed it for you!
