Honestly as someone who's responsible for RHEL/CentOS, Solaris, HP-UX, and some oddballs, I'd be quite happy with running OpenBSD on my servers in place or even addition to RHEL. However, like Debian based systems, if the vendors we use only support Red Hat (and the other servers we have), we are pretty much stuck. Until HP and Symantec say we can use it, it's pretty much out as an option to our devs.

(Which doesn't mean they don't try to slip one in now and then, which annoys the heck out of them when we refuse the project as the environment isn't supported.)

You can ask that, but you won't get a sensible answer. What will happen instead is that they pick some other part of your post, only respond to that, and call you a misogynist, racist, or some other name.

That's odd because that is what happens when I bring up a different viewpoint. All of a sudden I'm being dogpiled because I said 'dogpiled' and 'wtf did you mean about _that_!'. It's frustrating enough that I step away from the thread and forum.

It's a configuration option when you newfs a file system. Man newfs or mkfs.

The problem is the monitoring group is reluctant to make "custom" changes due to the size of the environment. OS and hardware level alerts are a pretty minor part of the overall monitoring environment in terms of the number of configuration changes required. With mirroring and system/geographic redundancy, we can wait until the morning status reports to identify systems before they get to critical.

Yea, I got a troll mod for a 'man cave' comment. I read it and yea, I was being snarky so it was justified :)

This was on Canyon just past the legal center and coming around the curve towards Broadway. There were no obvious signs and no indication of a police officer. I was tagged at 5 over and since I ride a motorcycle, I am very cautious, proactive, and aware of my surroundings. It is four lane with an island and I was in the left lane. I was next to an SUV and had scooted ahead of it briefly to be out of blind spots and visible to other turning traffic, and then slowed back down to the posted speed (35 I think, maybe 30). The camera took the pic from the right side so maybe he was parked in the Library parking lot.

And yea, there is a sign upon entering Boulder. As I recall, it's fairly small and under or grouped with several other signs as you come around the curve and the road splits into 4 lanes.

I honestly don't ride fast in town (ticket proving otherwise of course) and am generally very cautious and moderate in my riding. In 128,000 miles on my bike, I've only been pulled over twice. 57 in a 55 down in Arizona (warning) and passing on a double yellow near County Line and 7 by a Boulder County Sheriff (verbal warning).

287 in northern Colorado has stop lights and a 60 or 65mph limit depending on your location with stop lights (one has a reduce to 55 in the area of the light at Rt 52).

[John]

Depends on whether they're identified. In Boulder Colorado, I was nabbed by a speed camera. I know the area where I generated the infraction and there was no notice, no sign, no nothing other than a letter a few weeks later.

My girlfriend is a gamer; video type. She's done some casual social gaming but since we started dating last year, she's gotten into more complicated resource type games and role playing (she's playing an Indian in the Deadlands Reloaded game I referee).

So still 50/50 but with 6 data points :)

[John]

Depends on the game I guess. I avoid the mindless Tetris and Candy Crush things but play Carmageddon, Risk, Ticket to Ride, and Small World on my Tablet and Phone. I have Doom and Wolfenstein 3D on the phone but the update to the iPhone 5 broke the controls :(

"Hey, why buy the cow when the milk is free?"

(Yea I heard that from her relatives fairly often)

[John]

Ah, so just keep on doing what I'm doing now. Perfect, thanks.

It's not the same guys. Don't attribute the bad behavior of a few sociopaths with the majority of guys who still enjoy the company of women. What's that hashtag? #notallmen
