Or they should stay in and around Wall Street...

When I saw

part, I was puzzled. If that was a reference to a network close to Sun, they should not use HF on satellites. Then I read the whole sentence and felt sorry for the need of explanation...

In early 90's it was necessary to recompile Ultrix Kernel when you have added a new SCSI on the external bus. It was an improvement to the competition that must not be named, as you could do the compilation on premises without paying a licence fee tor the C compiler... If you do not like the heritage we have in Unix, you can switch to the popular OS that is based on VMS...

Saying, on many occasions, that you cannot manage and modify your startup scripts by hand for boot problem prevention, hardly qualify you as an adviser on system management issues.

This is interesting, thank you for that. However in my opinion, it is better to have a simple design in high power systems.Those converters seem to be very complex...

Yes otherwise Soviets would be first to send a satellite into the orbit and a human to the space. Also USA would be in need of Soviet rockets to send their astronauts to the ISS as of now... Ah, wait, I was trying to see what is happening in an alternate reality and suddenly a paradox occurred I guess.Sorry guys...

Sorry, but as the frequency rises, path taken by the current shifts to the surface. You can search for the skin effect.

For firewalls or any (well most) of application proxies interrupt per second capacity is more important than data thru-put. So not about terabytes that can be handled but about CPU performance I would be worried with OpenBSD in a firewall. However it might be a good indicator to balance load across devices if an OpenBSD box is overloaded, instead of trying to increase the performance of a single box. But no harm from trying a little. And for my home system, definitely OpenBSD... I am thinking about where I would backup my data during installation over Linux partitions at the moment....

As far as I can understand they are fscking serious.... OK guys, so long and thanks for all the fish. Any variant of BSD (OK, except the shit Apple is selling) for my cup of tea...

They are basically providing meta-data (even meta-meta-data). Aside from RIAA and clueless judges, I was assuming most people are seeing their service as legit as it gets.

My reason not to give my ID, (even if it means paying for a service which can be taken free by showing an ID Pardus anyone???) is simply that I do not know when the database they use to store my ID will be either hacked by a script kiddie or raided by a foreign government. My domestic government already has full access to my person and data, there is no need to increase my accessibility (!)....

Ultrix used to mark bad sectors on the fly, as far as I could remember, if the disk was not a SCSI...

I felt very old, seeing the -almost- standard assembler practices called old school. When I was young, most CPUs had lots of undocumented instructions, usually due to overuse of Karnaugh. Given the basic electronic structures are still the same, I have a strong suspicion, that position still holds true...

This should be a new component in electronics, right? "Memory" as a component! I should not stop reading periodicals after the school.Or maybe somebody should star reading such, before copy pasting crap...

First of all IANAL,
2nd of all, I will state Turkish practice, which was shaped on European (Swiss and German in this case) law. keeping those in mind:

In a commercial relation/contract, there are certain obligations, where illegal activity of one party becomes a joint responsibility of other, like obligations toward employees and most importantly consumers' rights issues. So the stronger partners in a contract (ICAAN for example) usually put in protective measures against illegal (or just shady) activities of the other party to the contract. This usually in the form of (you must report your activities related to such legal obligations/regulations. Failing to do so, or upon discovery of any misconduct related to such regulations, we can and will reflect possible penalties and liabilities to your account and we will have right to immediate optional termination)... (My translation might be sucking a little)
If such a clause exist in a contract, you can claim in the court that you acted to the best of your ability to prevent any such misconduct by other party, even if you had not acted upon these conditions (if you can prove you were unaware of such misconduct...).
