I work in a big multinational company as a software engineer and I'm currently holding a very nice conversation with IT and other developers with regards to adopting a DVCS (Mercurial and/or Git).
One of the issues raised by IT was compliance and intellectual property (BTW, Perforce talks loudly...
I wish to provide a service like how google does ( companyname.blogspot.com becomes blog.companyname.com ) from what I understand a CNAME of google is used to do so.
My question is how do I make a CNAME for my domain that others can use
@Adrian The problem of course is that what he is asking has very little to do with the DNS, and a lot more to do with some magical virtual host config on a web server somewhere.
For the cost/hassle involved in testing, and re-wiring the existing cabling, you might as well just run all new lines with CAT6a. Especially considering it only seems to be 8 lines, and if you've already seen errors in the cabling, you can't be certain any of it is done right without checking ea...
So my experience with RAID is minimal. So I figured I'd come and ask here. We have a 16 drive RAID system that have 15 drives in RAID 5 with a hot spare left over. Recently one of the drives in the RAID was giving errors so I cloned it over to the hot spare and put a new drive in it's spot. I mad...
" I made the new drive the hot spare as I was told. I was told to rebuild the array after putting in the new drive as a hot spare so I tried and wasn't able to. So my question is do I need to rebuild it and if so why did it tell me I couldn't."
@WesleyDavid Oh, so that Tyler guy we were talking about last night. He's in your neck o de woods.
@JourneymanGeek I'm fair positive they're explicitly exempted here too. I've read some of our labor laws, and that experience doesn't really make me want to figure it out.
If someone at my workplace got injured, rendering assistance is the moral thing, the rest, leave it to the darned lawyers. They get paid to handle legal crap, not me.
@JourneymanGeek As far as I'm concerned if you're going to claim compo from your work you better be pretty seriously injured
Am I going to sue my workplace in 20 years time because I have RSI and I'm obese?
No, because I chose a sedentary job that involves copious amounts of typing
Some people view injuries as a payday. At my wifes work there are people going on compo after only a few months after starting, because they "lifted a heavy person" or "someone stepped on their foot" or who the fuck knows
Well, thats the whole rationale behind 'reasonable' effort to prevent injury
If it was someone 600 pounds, and its obvious one person can't handle it, its different from 'I lifted a ream of paper for the printer and threw out my back'
@JourneymanGeek No, but its also more prevalent in large businesses. Small companies tend to be difficult targets for those sorts of people so they don't bother
Actually, banyan vines played an important part in the directory service wars, if my history is correct. They pushed for the multi-tiered domain structure in DS systems. Microsoft fought it and so did Novell I think. They preferred flat domains.
Actually, VINES was really the only / biggest DS in town until the mid nineties. They totally bungled things. They could have been a contendor. They could've been somebody.
@WesleyDavid You've uh, been reading wikipedia and recycling it as some knowledge you vaguely remember thus pretending to know shit about something you don't?
I currently have ubuntu desktop installed on a harddrive. I want to partition the harddrive so that I can reserve 30 gigs for ubuntu server and 30 gigs for ubuntu desktop.

@WesleyDavid Me neither. This multinational that we're dealing with just referenced it out of hand as if I should know what it means. I'm starting to think maybe I'm not dumb, it's just some obscure product
There's a job come up close to me - a lot more money and full time. However under the job description is says "preferred - experience of managing a site using the full Novell desktop & server suite and of Novell OES (Linux and/or NetWare), eDirectory, ZENworks & GroupWise and Novell IDM".
I didn't think places used Novell any more - my expereince with it was, quite frankly, awful.
No, I can never normally be arsed. Last time I did the horses, I did a stag-do that involved an hour in Billy Hill's. (8 of us in greatcoats and flat caps). Started with 40 quid and finished with 48. :D
I'd rather support netware than Lotus Notes on OS/2 but its a close run thing.
@smallclanger re: lottery - nothing wrong with rolling the dice every now and again when you understand the odds. The people who worry me are the people who think they have some kind of "system" or are desperate enough to spend money that would be better used on clothing or food.
@Dan Well both. People will access that server, but the server will auth them against the existing LDAP install. Seems like Samba (ugh) is the easiest solution
@JoelESalas (Re: DNS) You don't. The reverse record should be the hostname of the machine, nothing more. Anyone who blocks email because the sender domain doesn't match the reverse lookup needs kneecapping.
I like Halo over Call of Duty because it's got the whole epic backstory with it. Call of Duty, in most cases, just feels like you're dropped into an arena and told to kill eatch other.
@Dan In my life less drugs is always good, it's why I chose to move from London - a decade of building trading floors for banks ends up being bad for your health/life/marriage etc.

I've a bonding on two interfaces. I want to check the switch-redundancy by getting the hostname (or IP) of the switch, which a given interface is connected.

When I was working in our server room, I noticed that it was very cold.
I know that the server room has to be cold to offset the heat of the servers, but perhaps it is TOO cold.
What is an appropriate temperature to keep our server room at?
My developers are building an app that may eventually be hosted in Windows Azure. However, we want to host it internally first for a variety of reasons. They pointed me to the concept of a "private cloud". It sounds pretty cool, but almost too good to be true.

I'm in a pickle. I disagree with a decision made by my manager, but it's his ass on the line if it burns us. I brought it up once in a team meeting, and got shouted down by everyone before I could finish my statement. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth emailing him my opinion to get it on record...
to be honest, it'd probably be all our asses on the line if we get burned by this particular issue
I'd preface it with something like "I didn't get a chance to finish my thought in the last meeting, so I just wanted to put it in writing so you'd have a chance to consider it in its entirety. I know you've probably made a firm decision, but I really feel that what I'm about to propose is the best way to go."
@Dan Oh, well, if he's sleeping with the CEO, then it's probably a good idea.
@MDMarra Since you have the magikal protect question ability, could you protect this question? Already got a 1 rep jackass giving a useless late answer.
