Stereotypes exist for a reason. If it wasn't true for at least a statistically relevant number of samples, then the stereotype would not exist. Also, some things are derogatory on purpose, as they should be. Who cares about windoze admins anyway, it's not like they're *real* people... You might as well try to have a conversation with a retard. Sorry for any offense to actual retards out there...

All you just did was illustrate why globally routeable addresses are important. Consequently, routers were invented for the problem you are describing; to connect multiple networks.. If you need two hosts to appear on the same subnet and they are not, you should explain to us why it's needed, cause otherwise I bet you're doing wrong.

All I have to say is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, iirc.

I wonder how many people point to that instead of their ISPs' nameservers?
Seizing the google.com domain would do very little except piss off a lot of ISPs, who now have a complainer in every customer. They would figure out how to make it resolve properly very quickly, and the DHS can go find a root server and cram it where google street view can't see... (dhs - what a waste of tax $$)

You're retarded if you rely on a Windows Server for IPv4 routing. That is all.

I disagree, LISP is fine for beginners. I mean an entire OS, emacs, is written in LISP; too bad it doesn't come with a good editor...

All you SuSE people are a bunch of whack-jobs anyways. I mean that in a negative way. You're command line is a joke.

If you are going to rip people apart, you have at least two syntax errors:

log(n)*COMPARRISON_COST + log(n)*MEMORY_ACCESS_COST ^^here^^ log(n)*COMPARRISON_COST + log(n)*MEMORY_ACCESS_COST_MAX ^^and_here^^ CONSTANT*log(n)

What operation should replace ^^here^^ and ^^and_here^^ ?

Also, you don't know how to spell COMPARISON.

Remember, you seem to think everyone else is an idiot, so you must be both precise and accurate lest you will be misunderstood.

Not that I would be picking sides here, but at least Estanislao Martínez appeared to be trying to have an scholarly discussion. Politeness goes along way. Not everyone is as smart as the next guy, but if they are trying then they at least deserve some decency.

If everyone just googled everything, there would be no ask slashdot.

Yes, 32.5TB.

Can you elaborate on how LVM gets volume offsets "wrong" and it's impact on RAID performance? I've never heard of that before. Not saying you're wrong, it's just news to me.

Also, IIRC Solaris still has a 2 in front of it. Ie, Solaris 10 is really Solaris 2.10, and is simultaneously SunOS 5.10. They have retarded naming conventions. Oh well, Oracle can only fsck it up further...

ZFS does rock btw, we've got about 80-90TB (guesstimate) spinning with ZFS right now. Our thumper has 32.5GB alone, and another HP box running x86 Solaris has 45.3TB. There's others, but not as big as those two. ZFS really does make it a breeze to manage that much storage.

I was picturing bash/sed/awk/whatever scripts replacing his current batch scripts. Distributing several unmodified GPL binaries, so long as the source is also available, is perfectly acceptable as I understand it...

Also, if this is software that is not going outside your organization, then I don't think you have to worry about it at all...

must be nostalgic for you or something...

If it were me, I would put together what you need to work with Cygwin, then it could be cross platform. You could even ship a copy of cygwin.dll and any binaries you need, like bash, netcat, or what have you. I prefer Unix apparently.

is slashdotted.

No, You can be modded up for being a Unix Sysadmin, Unix Developer, or M$ hater. All of the others you mention are downward.
