There are heaps out there, most starting at US$2000, and climbing rapidly upwards. Use Google to find somewhere close to where you are, so you can see it in action... Just depends what certifications/standards you need to comply with, and if you want DoD/NSA/Government approved equipment or...

I would certainly hope so. However how much do you trust vendors to own up to the fact that their implementations are broken, or even to provide firmware updates in cases when it wasn't operable, or even missing. The way most vendors treat firmware these days (from everything from smart tvs...

The paper I linked to, section 3.2. As for who they are, no idea, you would have to contact the authors of the paper to find out.

From my understanding on modern HDDs, that's quite correct. ( http://www.anti-forensics.com/disk-wiping-one-pass-is-enough ) A single pass is all that is needed to stop most people out there. Multi-pass erase is only needed if you need to satisfy some government regulation or contract or you...

Depends on how paranoid you are... If the disks are still serviceable and in working order, using a tool like DBAN is good enough. http://www.dban.org/ If the disks can't be read by a PC/server, then you need to physically destroy the platters. The most common method is to remove the platters...

Finally updated from FF6 to FF13... haven't noticed any difference? (memory usage is the same, and performance is on par - however it says some of my plugins are out of date, but they certainly are the latest versions on Solaris). Also updated TB6 to TB12... now I've noticed some differences...

Also, this may have some good tips. (The article is how to simulate a multi-domain/multi-site cloud setup on 1 box with Zones and Crossbow). http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/7424-Simulating-the-cloud-a-practical-example..html#extended

Assuming Solaris 11? Create all the required VNICS in the global-zone, and then assign an exclusive IP through onto the zone using those new vnics. (Also ensure nwam of off). Use need to use dladm, not anet. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19963-01/html/821-1458/gjxfb.html ...

Released v1.3.2 of gMTP today. I should have entitled this, "Get over it, your precious Google Nexus / Samsung Galaxy phone has a buggy implementation of MTP, call Google/Samsung and bitch to them since you gave them money for a product with bugs in the firmware, not to the people who are...

Why do people look at me strange when I reply "Of course it's in the last place you looked. Why would you keep looking for it, if you found it?", to their comment/question "why is it always in the last place you look".

So why the walk, besides to save $3?

What's the hold-up with the migration? Also, have you confirmed Linux (whatever distro you choose) will actually work in your environment? I've heard of some small scale deployments of 100% Linux environments (up to 30 PCs) being very, very successful, but anything larger tend to get saddled...

Like Merc mentions, besides the religious licensing issues, with the work added to LO, it'll take a lot to re-integrate that work back into AOO. Mind you, I don't think there is anything in AOO, that's not in LO. My biggest issue is when LO says it's cross platform, they mean Linux, Windows...

I know it's certainly different in the big smoke, but where I am, it's Helstra, Helstra or Helstra for 3G+ coverage. Similar with ADSL, it's all Telstra equipment, which means $$$$$ for ADSL2+ with someone other than Telstra. I do know quite a few people leaving Vodafail recently, but they are...

Have you had a read through whirlpool's VF forum? Interesting stuff in there... (Both good and bad) http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/114?g=141

Re: vodafail, are you aware of this: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-it/telecommunications/vodafone-and-optus-to-share-network/story-fn4iyzsr-1226345747871 It's if your unhappy with Optus services, you probability want to know about the above agreement?

time, which carrier? Helstra, Optass, Like-a-Virgin or Voda-no-phone/3? I have a friend who just got a HTC Sensation XL a week ago and loves it. (He upgraded from an iPhone 3GS).

I don't know if Sechs was talking about consumer gaming cards or was including workstation cards in there as well? He is correct that neither make consumer orientated gaming cards, but they certainly both do make workstation cards. (Myself with an nVidia Quadro FX580 card in my box). However...

Re: Boot time. Did I miss something, or don't modern BIOS maintain the keyboard buffer anymore? Or does the Win8 boot loader purge the keyboard buffer before offering the F8 option? You see, in the olden days when we used steam powered computers with the blazing fast 8086 @ 4.77Mhz, if you...

Ouch, I've seen some bad cabinet installations, but that is up there with the best of them. One of the worst ones I've seen was a full height 42RU rack installation installed into a closet that barely fit in the rack (about 2" space on each side). In the rack was to go 3 UPSes (2U), 6 servers...

Thanks guys. BBB, I had thought about that, but have to take into account performance consideration of vertex rotation calculations in the robot. (Based on a 36MHz Amtel SAM7L64 (ARM7) CPU). Speaking with the lecturer about it, basically we came up with the idea of comparing deltas between...

A couple of other things... Since this is to be used in a robot (so it can recognise paths it has taken), memory space is very limited (I have approximately 8KB spare for code/data for the algorithm), and the environment doesn't allow recursive techniques, nor dynamic memory. (It's coded in a...

Hi Guys, A quick question for the programmers among us. Does anyone know of a suitable pattern recognition algorithm that returns a probability of match, when the input patterns are a string a compass bearings that define a shape. (A bearing of direction is sampled every x time). eg shape 1...

Hi Coug, The other point with Kepler, is that it drops the FP64 performance dramatically against Fermi. Which means we won't see decent GPGPU performance if FP64 is needed, and Kepler won't be seen in a Quadro based card (which is one of the nice things about the Quadro 6000 (besides the 6GB of...

On what grounds? :scratch: Because I said we all want the Quadro 6000 or the GTX680? :-D Apologies, will retract that comment then... Change it to: ;-) At least I didn't say: :p PS. Congrats on the 16K posts!

Hi Guys, NVIDIA has announced the new batch of cards for the entry level and low mid range in the GT600 series. (I know we all want the Quadro 6000 or the GTX680, but out wallets (or wives/partners) tend to disagree). More info...

BTW, Coug you may want to check the current licenses you have for the existing S10 installations. Be aware that most legacy licenses for support are tied to the hardward (if the license came with the hardware), otherwise you will need to pay for your existing S10 installations if moved away from...

Zones or licensing? Licensing with Oracle is simple. Home user = free (but no support / patches). For anything that smells like Commercial use = $$$$$$$$

Yep... But for accurate pricing contact sales, they should discount as you're an existing Solaris shop. (Threaten to dump Solaris, etc...).

PS. From the Solaris 11 License agreement. So that might make your decision very easy... ;)

They are both built from the same source code, except OI is slightly older than the S11 version. (OI is built on code base version 151a and S11 is built on code base version 175a). So as far as Zone support and performance, I would expect that they be the same in regards to hosting S10 Zones...

As mentioned previously, I use the King of Shaves Alpha Gel. (When I was shaving daily for work), a 175ml tube of gel would last approximately 3-4 months. (A tube RRPs for about AU$9.99). One of the older shaving soaps would last 4-5 months when used correctly... But I do find the 8-10 mth claim...

Why not one of these ? 6.7L engine, only 221KW of power, but a huge 1100Nm of torque...

When Oracle realised that it lost control of OOO in the fork of LO, they denoted OOO to the Apache Foundation. Oracle now has little say in the development of OOO, except they still sponsor some of the development via the Apache Foundation. I tend to use LO mostly these days (on my netbook)...

Seconded.

Based on my personal and current experience, the better lecturers I've had didn't have a PhD, whilst the worst one I've had actually had 2 PhDs to his name.... (there are exceptions to the rule, as one of the better ones does have a PhD, but that is the exception).

I just spent the last half hour looking at the Moon and Mars through a telescope. Didn't realise how red Mars actually appears through a telescope. (We got our son a telescope for Christmas, and we get it out every couple of weeks when it's a clear enough sky).

IIRC, The latest Solaris 10 release supports all E3's, E5's and E7's, except those built on Ivy Bridge. (No official HCL listing, but they are reported to work).

Saw this posted on another forum, and found it amusing.

Unfortunately, like dd said, there are cars with sub 1L engines, but as cars get older, the power from the engine decreases (due to wear), so the car is able to go as fast as it was when new. (And due to tightening household budgets, people are holding on to well running cars, and not upgrading...

Bit harder to avoid one here in Oz, usually you have to show that: 1. Equipment was not maintained accordingly to spec, nor had calibrations done as maintenance requirement. 2. Location not pre-approved for placement of camera, or meet one of the criteria that a trap shouldn't be placed in. 3...

I know it's not easy, having copped a few in the past. It's especially hard going on the bike as well... However I was under the impression that any location (in QLD) that had a speed camera in place had to be approved by the courts first, and could not be placed ad hoc anywhere the local...

Like my wife says, it's easy to avoid a speeding ticket... Don't speed.

Looking at the numbers at Helstra, you're quite correct. It just seems all you see are Samsung ads everywhere you go, except for the occasional ad for HTC, Apple or Sony phone. (All Phones do have large ads for HTC in their store fronts though). AFAIK, Helstra branded handsets are still made by...

I actually wonder if Samsung is only getting those numbers due to them flooding the market with heaps of different models at low price points (when bundled with a plan)? Looking at local providers, most only offer 1-2 Nokia models, 1-2 Sony, 3-4 HTC, 1-2 Apple, but up to 5-6 Samsung different...
