This. I live in a small town. Never lock the door. Never answer a knock or a doorbell. People I know already know to simply walk in. All others are ignored.
I know other people who do just the same.

Noting the sarcasm tag, so you believe that the USA is actually the best country on earth? You honestly believe that.

Wow.

Thirty years ago when I still thought 'hope and change' was an actual thing, I was excited to discover the Unifon alphabet. It accomplishes the goals of this guy and much more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unifon

Exactly. Well said.

Just uninstall it everywhere.

Beginning a while back I began removing it from all the little SMBs I do work for. At first just a few with trepidation. Then the rest.

It turns out that exactly none of them needed it. None.

Who wants to pay for their employees to play Pogo games anyhow?

Sure, there may be enterprise sized outfits who rely on it, but I'm guessing most slashdotters aren't that well-monied with their clients and are more small-time as I am. Just uninstall it everywhere and save yourself one of the tedious, recurring headaches supporting windows boxes.

Ten boxes here, thirty there... and we can kill the thing and get it off our plate entirely.

Full disclosure: I've long hated java as a user suffering bloated start-up times and xplatform probs, as an IT drone endlessly updating it and for its sheer verbosity as a language (it's just way too much typing for me to bother with vs other langs).

Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the choice Google made with Android... :-(

kmail has this

> gigabyte speeds
I meant gigabit speeds, of course

> but rather a VPS, dedicated server,

This.

I've been a long-time customer of NetNation -- OK, now it's Hostway and they've had a couple of power probs at my NOC that *never* happened before, but..

I have 4 Peta-Bytes of transfer every month and it costs less than 250USD/month for a dedicated server. Yes, that was peta with a capital 'P'. That's only with 100mb duplex, but you can pay a bit more for gigabyte speeds as they have lots of fibre. This is in the austin DC.

Buy one or two or more of those and stop worrying. After adding more than one, you'll need to do interesting balancing things, but at nowhere near the cost of what you are currently in store for.

I don't log in much -- hardly ever in fact. Anyhow:

You (@rnmartinez) are (not to put too fine a point on it) acting like a septic-sucking scum bag. I just wasted an hour of my life researching your sorry ass. It's the first time I ever wished I had less google-fu.

I would really appreciate it if you'd just leave slashdot off your guppy list, because we aren't listening anymore and never will thanks to tom.

This would be a very good time for you to re-evaluate your goals in life.

Trying to avoid Hell clearly isn't at the top of your current agenda, but you might at least give it a passing thought.

I hardly ever log in, but I had to give this effort a comment.! Well done jollyreaper :-)

I entered one of my own ips and got back only 7 of the 40 or so domains hosted on that box. Most of those domains have been there for years. Any other tool I've ever tried for this before always disclaims that the results will be incomplete as they are based on using search engines.

Thank you David.

I rarely log in, but I needed to comment on this post (the OP).

One word: btrfs

All the posts here mostly talk about the wonders of zfs. I was enamored of zfs myself when it first came out.

Thing is, even if they got rid of the license problems, the thing is still not very linux kernel-friendly. The way it is, it will only ever exist in user-land/fuse. Yes, it can be made to work. So what?

Btrfs is better, uses zfs ideas and leaverages the linux kernel natively.

But that's the job. You control what you can and try to mitigate what you can't.

Amen brother. Amen.
