@LucasKauffman My first project was getting that to win08 (only reason it wasnt R2 was because the software they use didn't support 64-bit, at the time)
Quick poll... Let's say I share a cube wall with a developer who's constantly tapping his feet and fingers on the desk. I'm in an old building (late 1800's) that's pretty creaky. The taps from his feet resonate and are very distracting. His finger-tapping rhythms are a little off, too. I wear headphones to isolate all of the other sounds, but can feel every bump coming from this guy...
Is saying something about it pretty petty on my part?
@ChrisS Is it one of those where you can trip them, call them a dick, and insult their mother and they're buying you lunch 5min later 'cause you're just a couple of awesome fellas or is it a "ima call you an idiot but I have to work with you so lets eat lunch together to strengthen my tolerance of you" situations?
@TylerShads It's more a bunch of mostly competent guys who respect each other's abilities and can mildly harass each other so long as it's withing "funny" bounds. =]
@LucasKauffman yeah. We still don't know if it was inherent tension in the glass or differential pressure because someone tightened the lid all the way
@ewwhite I have a question for you. I might rent a machine for myself to fiddle around with, now as base system I was thinking of either kvm,esxi or citrix xen. I've never really used esxi and my biggest concern is how safe it is to be on the WAN. I can't put it behind a firewall unless esxi incorporates one :/ ?
I keep seeing that you need to root your phone to put in a bunch of adblocking entries in the hosts file... why would I need to? Can't I just browse to it and manually edit it?
@Adrian yea, I'm working on an Android "datamining" tool, I heard from a guy here that ATnT actually modifies pieces of the kernel to get access to all your info.
@Basil I guess Canada has those pesky consumer protection laws that keep the poor small telecommunications businesses wearing rags and eating beans out of cans
@Joel Not really- it's only the nexus S. All other phones are as bad as yours. Also, we only have a couple of telcos, and they aren't very competitive.
Ok, so the android s in canada is unlocked, but not rooted out the box :\
I hate not having root access to my phone, but I dont want to spend the time needed to root it, and have to remember to unroot it in the event that I need to get the hardware replaced...
@ChrisS Some applications require root in order to install or run. Also a good first step if you want to install a different build, such as Cyanogenmod.
@KyleSmith I was able to install the Amazon AppStore without rooting, as an AT&T customer.
OIC. MetroPCS customer, so the Verizon and AT&T BS doesn't apply. VNC server, right, not going to happen =]. Cyanogenmod sounds like something that eats phones for breakfast, might have to look into it I guess.
@ScottPack The battery does die pretty quickly, but so far it's mostly from me playing with the phone.... I'll easily go 36 hours if I don't screw with it too much. Checking the brackets however, that'll only last a couple hours and she's dead.
@ChrisS I had the problem that with "normal" usage, and leaving both wifi and data services, on it would take me about 12 hours to drop to 10-15%. Jumping to CM kept me at about 40-45% over the same timeframe and usage.
@ChrisS One of my buddies uses sense debloat rom from bamf. Apparently, it's just the HTC Sense rom but with a bunch of the bundled garbage taken out. He reports about the same increase in battery life that I did.
@ChrisS My understanding is that out the box, you get almost everything you want. But if you want to mess with things under the cover or do things that wouldn't normally be supported on a smartphone, you need to root it. Case in point: install an adblocker or modify the hosts file.
@ChrisS The good thing is that since, it's still Sense, the look and feel is the same. You'll just be able to actually remote apps you don't want, and won't have all that garbage running in the background all the time.
@ScottPack Officially on my TODO list now.... Have to kill Metro's advertising service every time I reboot the phone. I shouldn't be surprised it's there, but still...
I don't agree with the decision to close this topic. I asked the question "How can I host Windows 2000 in a remote / virtualized environment?" This is not a shopping question. It is a "Can this be done" question. Not to mention that all the individuals responsible for closing the thread are Linux enthusiasts... I'm certain that had no influence. – JohnyD 11 mins ago
@TylerShads BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War.
Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms.
My goals are simple: maximize data retention safety, and maximize read speeds. My first instinct is to do a a three drive software RAID 1. I have only used fakeraid RAID 1 in the past and it was terrible (would have led to data loss actually if it weren't for backups)
Would you say software rai...
My largest number of clients are tied to my old job in the warehousing/logistics industry. I have about 50 standalone Linux servers out there that run a proprietary ERP application
flat files with indexes... no structured database.
@MDMarra Well I'm not an iSCSI expert, but it looks like if you can make your targets aware of it, it'll help with the whole "non-duplex" problem on iSCSI
@ewwhite DAS with huge text files will be faster, probably. Especially for writes. iSCSI only sends scsi commands, which means the filesystem needs to be elsewhere.
@MDMarra MS Says Setting flow control is highly recommended and helps resolve in an efficient manner any imbalance in network traffic between sending and receiving devices (another best practice)
@Basil I didn't think that it could be halfway, but these Lefthand P4500s let you select "auto/transmit only/receive only/both" which was weirding me out
@ewwhite 1GB will give you the same performance on anything that's read IO bound (as in workloads that do a lot of random small reads), however will become bound by the channel if you can get the disks moving faster than the pipe (caching, sequential IO, etc)
@MDMarra Could they be isolating transmit on one port?
@PeterGrace Which one? The NDA being lifted on the new expansion?
@MDMarra Well I am basically trying to figure this out at the same time as you... I haven't done a whole lot with iSCSI. My first instinct would be to put them both on, test it, and if it looks ok, move on to other problems :)
@LucasKauffman (just got back) Yeah... I think I typed a response to that 3 times then decided to walk away. If someone posted "Where can I host Caldera Linux in a virtual environment." I'd like to think I'd have the same response...
I was considering using that one, but then realized it would make me hate the game. Then I considered getting "the insane", but it would counter the image I've cultivated. I ended up deciding to use nothing, and continue completely ignoring almost any part of the game that's vanity only.
Dell was just in my building talking about their new OpenManage Enterprise Something Something. I guess it's a free tool that will do Firmware, Remote Access, etc. for all your DRACs
Also talking about their new R series systems. R820s can have 1.5 TB of RAM.
WinSrv08R2. I have a drive mapped to Win7 clients via Group Policy that's on another computer (an OS X server, mapped via "\serverIP\folder"). EVERY time the user logs out and then back in, it pops up "Could not reconnect all network drives", except the two other mapped drives (from the Srv08 mac...
I wasn't even worried about the OS X SMB layer, I've seen issues with mapped drive reliability in Windows forever. We just upgraded to 2008 DC's and we still get user complaints weekly.
Facebook just sent me an email indicating that an old friend updated his status page. In fact, the status update was my update from yesterday. My friend died almost 2 years ago, I doubt he's having problems with the accesory circuit in a truck.
