I am working as an IT help desk consultant. I am bit confused wht will be best for my career growth. I mean which technology will be best to learn. I am thinking of few courses(Ethical Hacking, Netbackup and IBM Tivoli). Please advise me buddies.
@MichaelHampton They did, theoretically, but it's really hard to run wires here without government capital, and doubly so when you're actively being blocked by the incumbents.
the only people who have been able to break into the residential market are the cable companies (the local one here is offering 250/10 for something like 200/mo)
what does the incumbent ex-government monopoly do? builds the price of a year's service on their plan into your new house price, and gets you to sign a contract.
@FalconMomot We can get Naked DSL at least, which saves $36/month in "line rental", but since I moved I have access to HFC. I don't even know where the phone line rental terminates in my house. Never needed it.
then the CRTC (government regulator similar in scope to the FCC) is all like "the future of broadband internet access is wireless, by which we mean cellular"
@MarkHenderson When the FTC required the carriers to allow ISPs to feed off their lines there wasn't any kind of pricing discussion. I remember 3rd party DSL providers having to rent the lines from AT&T for the same price that end-customers did.
@MarkHenderson So it was almost always 20% more expensive to go with the alternative provider.
Also, solar feed-in tarrif is 6c/kwh so you're basically giving the companies free money. Fuck that shit, my solar will not be grid connected and I will piss away the extra electricity by running my drier empty
Yes. It was a pretty incredible nuclear disaster, one of only two incidents classified as level 7 under the INES. But come on. One of those disasters was some schlub flipping the wrong switch, the other was a 9.0 earthquake followed by a 133ft tsunami.
I have a development setup of subdomains with apache/wamp, everything is working as I need with the "regular" setup and separately with the "xyz" setup, but I have to change the configuration and restart the server everytime I need a different setup.
Is there a way to have both setups working at...
I want to take russian, calculus, and stats this term... but stats and calculus conflict with each other, and I don't know if I have time even for 2 courses
I think I'm allowed to take 3 courses (or 6 - I have no idea what each one is weighted against the limit), but I only have time to deal with 1 or at most 2.
@FalconMomot I went and closed a bunch of old shopping questions about 20 minutes ago, that probably got them thrown into review to make sure I didn't fuck up
That and the fact that there is no easy way to mark the 700+ items that came in while you're on holidays as "read" without loading the last item in the queue (because only after the last item do you get the "mark all as read" button), which thanks to infinite scrolling takes about 5 minutes.
@MarkHenderson Yeah. I can't say I ever used search much with Reader, but we'll see how long it takes them to make something I care about a premium feature.
@MarkHenderson Those are not hard to replace. Just unplug them and throw them away (or melt or pulverize them as desired), and plug in an actual gateway router with an ADSL2+ WIC.
@MarkHenderson I found sargsarg.sourceforge.net which works with squid. But i'm not allowed to setup proxy server b/c of some reason. Is there a way accomplish this after Cisco router or something?
There are other methods, like looking at DNS logs, that might give you a hand-wavy overview, but it is nowhere near accurate enough for anything useful
@Achu Heh. If you get told to do stuff and are simultaneously prohibited from doing it, and you can't explain that successfully to the people requiring it, you'd best find a new job.
Like, a simple table insert would run for 5 minutes without anything happening.. it didn't complain about locks or anything, it just sat there.. CPU usage was at 10%, nearly no disk usage (except the regular tempdb writes when DMV kicks in) and so on..
Changing the PK to be clustered actually drops the PK and recreates it, so you basically stripped out every single index and the PK off the table and started again from scratch. This sounds like a good solution
the thing is that I had to convert the PK to be a clustered
the only (time saving) way of doing that is to hit the table designer when you don't have any clustered index on the table, right click, select indexes and then set Clustered as YES
this way it'll go through every connected FK and update them
and I guess that the method doesn't specify ONLINE = ON
ON Long-term table locks are not held for the duration of the index operation. During the main phase of the index operation, only an Intent Share (IS) lock is held on the source table. This enables queries or updates to the underlying table and indexes to proceed. At the start of the operation, a Shared (S) lock is held on the source object for a very short period of time. At the end of the operation, for a short period of time, an S (Shared) lock is acquired on the source if a nonclustered index is being created; or an SCH-M (Schema Modification) lock is acquired when a clustered index is …
is there a way to script out the changes you've done in table designer?
oh nm found it
ALTER TABLE dbo.REF ADD CONSTRAINT PK_REF PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ID ) WITH( PAD_INDEX = OFF, FILLFACTOR = 80, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
@Achu Logging DNS queries will be too noisy... there will be too much junk in there for it to be useful. Setting up a proxy server is really your best bet.
@MarkHenderson btw, what do you do with the heap tables? just create indexes and never think about it? I'm not a developer, so I have no idea if an application expects a table to be heap or not
We are implementing a new feature in our system that will cause about a million records (each record is tiny, basically a GUID, a date, and four smallint fields) to be purged from a table every night. Basically it's a caching table, and once the data is 7 days old we do:
DELETE FROM scheduleCach...
I think I over-estimated the # of records though. We had one beta tester on the feature for 3 hours and it came to 12,480 records. So it might only be about 250,000 records a day in the initial rollout
@pauska Don't know; I'm not fortunate enough to get enterprise features :(
@pauska Yeah I tried it out the other day. DELETE FROM took about 5 minutes. DELETE TOP(1000) WHILE COUNT(*) etc was much nicer
Catch is that it's 10,000 random records from within the range that gets deleted. Not a big issues, but it could be weird if it gets interrupted and some tries to report on the deleted date :P
Recently I got an idea to develop a DNS registrar. So as I have no experience in that domain, I'm asking today about how to become a DNS registrar.
How many servers I need ? what registration should I do ? what kind of services should I run ? DNS servers ? whois ? Application to manage client DNS.
