I guess everyone will have theories about deaths like this, because they refuse to believe that the person is anything less than great !
Truth be told that some people do have their inner demons/issues that the greater population is unaware of. Hans Reiser was another one. At the time his filesystem was one of the best out there, yet his personal life was in a shambles. Ian made a tremendous contribution to the Linux community, and a testament to this is that even though he is gone, Debian will continue...
Multiple copies will probably be the best solution. Just like redundancy with storage involves multiple devices, your backup should simply be the same. Tape storage is probably the better choice for long term "offline" data. So having 3 backups in different locations would probably give you the best ability to restore later on.
My daughter was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in July of this year. she is currently in her second round of chemotherapy. I doubt whether she will be given the opportunity of being part of this research, but I am really glad that there are continuing advancements happening in this field.
And as a personal point of pride, my son (age 15) was tested, and confirmed as a match for stem cell therapy this weekend ! He agreed without hesitation to help his sister.
*If* such a mechanism was coded in, the nature of open source would mean it would be found by others. This in turn would compromise the trust of the ENTIRE kernel. That trust can take years to build up - but be detroyed in a heartbeat.
I can confirm. I have seen where cables were laid, and while they are busy trying to terminate - 2 kilometers down the road, they are busy digging it up. So at the end of the day, despite wireless being slow, it still becomes the data delivery method of choice. Also, there is a single entity that realy "owns" the majority of cables (Telkom), and they are resisting pressure to reduce pricing.
So the private firms use wireless, because it frees them from having to rely on a state owned enterprise that controls all hardwired connections outside of your building(s).
Coming from South Africa, I am disappointed that the Rasberry Pi is so expensive. Hopefully these boards will be better priced here..
I had a ticket in the "queue" to order an RPi. When my turn came - would cost R 650-00 (Dollar was around 8.42 at the time so close to $ 80 USD) - I passed.
There are really a *lot* of distributions to choose from. It really boils down to what you want to do with the desktop. Ubuntu (I use it, but not overly happy with the unity interface), fedora, SuSE, even the "lesser known" distributions all have pretty intuitive installers and interfaces.
But I cannot stress the benefit of joining a local Linux User Group. There are a lot of guys that will help you gain a better understanding of what you are actually doing - instead of copy/paste/panic (what the hell did I just do ??). You need to know WHY things work the way they do.
It surprises me that there is no inquest into DVD charges as well.. They have more control over these than with software, and they strongarm their way into the supply chain, pretending that there is a compelling reason to have to charge more:(
I think this is where the actual rights of an employee, are never really understood by said people. There are probably many other examples where companies have violated laws regarding their workforce, because of what I perceive to simply be insecurities on the part of the company.
In short - companies get scared that their name will be tainted from the inside, and so they are willing to go above (or below) the law to try and "protect" their image. So it's good to see that lawmakers are standing up and taking note. Now, just to educate those who don't read tech sites:)
Having read lately about the attempts to change the US patent system to a "first-to-file", would mean that the result would go a different way here. So does this not highlight the flaw in the "first-to-file" system ?
I agree.. The OP spoke of 5m pieces - not too sure on width, but I would think that you would need some serious space in an inspection room. Overall, it's still quite fascinating:)
Nice to see that some customers are not going to be pushed around into what they should use...
Makes sense really.. it is just another format that they should support.. like all the other (including 3rd party) plugins that are available for importing/exporting Documents.
I just hope that it will never be an "Embrace and Extend" scenario...
I really like the way that Web apps are starting to make a comeback. Yes, it's true that there will always be problems with compatibility in browsers, but at the end of the day, to make the underlying OS insignificant, it makes the adoption of alternate OS's become easier.
Who knows, maybe the pressure will cause other proprietary companies to start looking at the way they do business ? A pipe dream now... but so was flying to the moon !!
I have my LPI-2 certification, and I believe the neutral-vendor type certifications are really the best. It serves as a base from which to work. For the Employer there is a twofold bonus.
1) The Person is willing to prove himself/herself that they are able to use the system (without testing by the employer) to a certain degree.
2) The candidate was willing to study. This I see often where a person does not try to further themselves within their field of expertise, yet expect to walk into another job, and expect the employer to know that they are totally capable. There has to be a starting point - and this is it for the x-BSD's
I would certainly see myself doing this certification.
I wonder if that is sustained ?? I know that when the Mac G5 Cluster was developed they claimed tremendous speed, but when the sustained rate was calculated, it turned out to be much lower...

Yes, I agree that the costs are going to be huge - ESPECIALLY the lawyers. We all know who gets the lions share

Not too sure about the rest of the world, but in South Africa the adverts in fine print say "UP TO (x)Mbps".
So if your service is slower, it still falls into their accepted limits ...

Honestly, if there is a remote possibility that a change back could help spread FUD, it's going to be pounced upon.

Not too sure if you have hear of teamviewer ?

Depending on the material used, surely upon delivery - the weather would be the final measuring factor ?
A few degrees could result in shrinkage or expansion over that surface area which would exceed the specification. Well, in my mind anyway.
