Can I say "thank you" about his point on reusable code? Re-editable code as he puts it is far more useful. Witness in puppet: their 'go to' module for example purposes is for ntp. Yet, last I looked, their ntp module…
Since most clients are supposed to work through a specified resolver rather than run their own, the easy block is to deny port 53 to non approved resolver hosts. Probably a good idea anyway in a secure environment,…
I call bs. I'm certain there will be a large scale problem with XP. However, that won't run in the reputation of MS, but rather the company still using it.
What I don't understand is why Comcast refused to put NetFlix's CDN gear into their network/DC setup. That would solve the problem...
+1 I'm typing now on a u6430 running ubuntu 13.04, and it runs great. Three challenges: 1) On a busy wifi, I have some challenges with connection drops, but I haven't determined if that's a driver issue, or a chip…
Dell makes a nice bit of coin (2+bil in profit last quarter according to google), mostly from the enterprise stuff, hence the kerfuffle over 3Par 2 years ago. What I don't get is why they're submitting to a leveraged…
Or, you could use 'ls -h'... (that said, I do see the utility, since it gives a more obvious visual queue as to the order of size differences... but if you're doing anything with the sizes programatically, you have to…
GOW seems to be more focused on a userland environment, whereas mingw is focused on enabling developers to link against unix libraries in a windows environment. Sure there's msggrep, and msgfilter as userland in mingw,…
Personally, I think Gow is awesome. The few times that I need power unix stuff, it's been just there, and it just works. That's the most important thing. For me, it's worth the 'price' of admission, just to get a usable…
it includes the command lines for putty: pscp and psftp at least.
the application specific passwords are 16 characters long. Four blocks of four lowercase characters. I too would rather them be longer, and involve at least some numbers if not specials... but they're not THAT short.
People have mentioned syntax-highlighting, which is cool, and I'll be checking it out shortly. But MY favorite feature of zsh is ZLE: the Zsh Line Editor. The fact that I hit up-arrow, and see the for|while|if…
Trust me. I get it. But if you don't have the HS diploma, it'll be something you have to explain for YEARS. People have certain expectations for others, even in high tech. The HS Diploma is one of those things. The…
I guess it depends on what else you're doing. If you're in High School still, suck it up and finish with high marks and be done. As for college, there are two theories on that: on one hand, a college degree from a good…
Well, Oracle is more prevalent in big enterprise. But if you look at the equations at the end of the article, a mysql/postgres DBA costs probably 80-90% of the Oracle DBA. The licensing costs are less, but the hardware…
The big problem is in proving the collusion. It's just as easy, and mostly legal to send signals to your competitors through the marketplace... release a new model with foobaz feature at a higher pricepoint, see how the…
I do really miss the 'command' module's convienience... so much that I often code my own version using subprocess, just so I can get at Std-out, Std-Err, and the return code all in one place.
God speed Miyamoto-san. Thank you for everything.

Since both bash and zsh are 'sh' derived shells, it's not a huge context flip. It's analogous to flipping between your highly tuned (vim|emacs) config, vs logging into a new AWS image with the default version's config:…
I tend to use screen, rather than use tabbed CLI windows. Or you could use tmux.
My grief with this requirement is CentOS 5 only comes with php 5.1.6 without some hackery of special repos or self-compile... That affects a TON of hosting companies... especially with CentOS 6 still a few days away…
It's also annoying to have open bugs that can't get any traction... I'm more than willing to do almost any test (short of destroying my data) to help them along, because an easy way to get multiple boxes with block…
OCFS2, in the v1.4 branch has some extreme fragmentation problems. It seems to be just fine if you're dealing with large files, or lots of small files that don't change frequently. However, if you've got lots of…
