@jscott sometimes that's needed - I kicked a bunch of relatively good (or at least "OK") questions out of the close queue today
The close queue should really be the third queue visited -- Look at "low quality' and "first posts" first
(if someone's first question is not fantastic it's better to clean it up or leave them a few comments rather than whack 'em with a close vote less than 4 hours after they signed up :)
(of course being a mod helps there too, because if it's blatantly bad I can just hammer it closed rather than having to beg 4 other people to join me in the firing squad)
@ChrisS it would be interesting to see my Up:Down ratio over time
It's another one of those "sliding window" things too, so holidays and stuff really fuck it up (if a flag sits for 20+ hours because nobody's around, and the flag volume is low because - well - nobody's around, then the stats go all to hell)
I just watch John Carter... Man, there was a movie with potential that got completely carried away with ridiculous stunts and inexcusable abuses of physics.... Like to the point where my very non-geek wife noticed.
@voretaq7 Well it started out fun; don't know if you've seen it or know the premise, but a Earth dude (John Carter) gets transported to Mars (with Oxygen).
Mars is 38% of Earth's gravity... So you could jump roughly twice as high. Walking would be difficult at first. You could run with monstrous leaps and your leg speed would quickly become an issue (like running down a hill, only much much worse)
But the wacky physics starts going to extremes in certain areas, while not in others. For instance, he can jump vertically 50+ feet. And he can punch someone and kill them from the hit.... All makes sense for someone that would have to be over twice as strong as the natives on account of Earth's different environment.
But when he's actually fighting people he's suddenly the same strength as everyone else.
@voretaq7 No, but you would expect bone and muscle densities to be 38% as compared to creatures native to Earth. So "people" that are roughly your size are actually considerably weaker than you.
but your punch would not be that much of an increase in force. Certainly more than they can put out, but it's still muscle/bone minus inertia and air resistance.
@ChrisS with well-placed blows I suppose, but not like a bunch of instant kills
I could believe knocking them down / knocking them out pretty reliably though
Fell into a couple classic tropes, half the aliens had similar sounding names, so I couldn't remember who was who.
The bad guys did the whole escalating thing, a lot.
Seriously; you're a bad guy cause you kill people; but as soon as you see an exception enemy warrior you want to hold on to him, put him in a situation he might escape from? Really? That sounds like a good idea??
They weren't explained in the movie; I assume it's leftovers from the book
She had different make-up at different times; other presumably aristocrat had stuff going on too
The graphics and imagery were really excellent. The plot wasn't too bad other than the tropes. I liked the movie overall, but would have loved it if they had cut the dumb-badguy tropes and the wonky physics.
Also, it was 2 hours and 13 minutes long. Whoever made that decision: thank you for taking the time to make a well paced and full story.
I can't stand when a 87 minute movie comes out and it's done before it started.
@ChrisS oh yeah they're doing that in a couple of queues now I think - vetted/reviewed stuff gets re-injected to catch people who are just using a drinking bird to badge-hunt
For a pool with a single file system
zfs list -H -r -d 1 -t snapshot -o name nameoffilesystem | xargs zfs holds

Would people agree that it's OK in this case? It's tantalisingly close to working for a broader range of examples.
(I hesitate before spinning off to a separate linked question; it seems good to view the whole caboodle, which is tantalisingly close to gaining an acceptable answer.)
@GrahamPerrin I'd combine the "Working Example" portions of both your answers into one, and spin off the non-working examples as a separate (linked) question either here or on U&L
(to me the working examples are good, useful answers ; the non-working ones aren't useful answers, but the question "Why didn't these work?" might lead someone to enlightenment)
@voretaq7 good point. In fact there are no working example (of discovering holds) in the other answer. I need to sleep on this to round it up in a useful way.
@jscott No after party. Just me having a celebratory beer and heading home. Which was for the best, as the GF got in a car accident on the way home and I had to rescue her. I;d only been home about 10 minutes when I got the call, so it was rather fortuitous that I forwent a big party.
How would I monitor a directory with files and trigger an action when a new file is added, and storing the absolute location of that file in a variable
I have a RAID6 array managed by LSI 9286-8e card. I also have Sans Digital 24-bay NexentaSTOR JBOD enclosure with SAS extender built-in. They are connected to separate UPS devices. Normally, I'd shut down the PC, leaving RAID6 in healthy state. But today the power to JBOD enclosure was cut bu...
Hi I am using Symantec backup exec to store daily backups to tape ,but now my backup exceeds the tape size .So I want to know whether there is any option to make single backup in multiple tapes . I tried a lot but I could not sort it out . Please suggest me a solution .
Am I crazy or is it not necessary to deploy a GPO manually for domain members to automatically download a new Enterprise Root CA's certificate to their local store?
I suggested a /23, and they said, "Oh, we've already built a new DHCP server with over a100 reservations... we won't be able to change the netmask from 255.240.0.0"
They don't need a million IPs right now, and they'll have to renumber AGAIN later. Though really you should ask someone who's more into networking; it's not my area of expertise either.
One of my client sites called to ask me to change the subnet masks of the Linux servers I manage there while they re-IP/change the netmask of their network based on a 10.0.0.x scheme.
"Can you change the server netmasks from 255.255.255.0 to 255.240.0.0?"
You mean, 255.255.240.0?
"No, 255.240....
I don't think basing their scheme on it bad a thing, I'm sick of dealing with places that picked a class c because they forgot they may expand. They should split it up into subnets and VLANs, IMHO. For logical organisation, security and to limit broadcasts. So yeah, that's a silly subnet mask
It's just more traffic for no reason. You'd probably need a lot more devices for it to impact, but I don't think size is a good reason to ignore good design
There's the security aspect, too. One person with some arp spoofing could really play around
A good design early on is also going to make it way easier to expand and adapt without having to do this kind of stuff . adding VOIP? Just provision a new VLAN etc
