They are running multiple SQL databases.

I setup a client running 7 or servers under XenServer and the XenSenver itself and all VMs boot from SAN. They are using a smallish Sage accounting package and Citrix. So they're willing to test it "on a dedicated server with 40G of RAM" and I presume dedicated disks but they are unwilling to...

Sounds like what you really need is a doughnut pillow.

Its all about tolerance man. People don't think they have the right to tell you what the item is worth. Negotiation has roots in disagreement. Nobody wants to be seen as disagreeable these days.

This surprises you? I'm not sure people are completely lazy but certainly intellectually lazy. BTW, I had the same thing happen to me last week though the listing was a couple of weeks old.

Yeah that's where the sales part of your job comes in. To communicate clearly and effectively the ramifications of their decisions. Sometimes they have to say no because it is not in their budget but at least you have given them enough information for their risk assessment. But you are right...

Merc, you should consider setting your client up on a service contract. Then you wouldn't do that maintenance work for free.

Have you considered buying out the lease on the Sienna. Forget a truck chassis, in five years it will be even more difficult to get rid of a truck. I've been looking at late 90s Honda Accords 'cause I only want to spend about $3k and I can't fit into smaller Hondas or any of the Nissans. I...

There are a lot of amateur athletes who are unwilling to dedicate the time to be professionals but still are interested in the sport. And then there are aspiring amateurs too.

You are overcomplicating the issue. If you have a SAN you will have enough storage space that you only need one file server. Provide access to all of your data through a single drive letter and manage access to files with permissions.

This is cool.

If that is the result then it is not a very good move to offer it as an option is it. ;)

And that is really what it boils down to isn't it, what you use. FWIW, I'm much more an engineer and less an admin. I also don't play on my computer; I work on it. I don't often change my IP on a day to day basis but when I'm doing an installation I can be in there every 5 minutes for an...

We drill a hole through the platters, case and all. We do this regularly.

What is the quickest way to get the dialog window open to give a machine a static IP address? If a quick way exists I haven't found it. In fact, the new way is so unintuitive I keep forgetting how to get in there.

FWIW, we resell their online backup service.

You can get kits at Circuit City that will result in free modem and 6 months of cable at a reduced rate after mail-in rebates and self install. You have to sign up for the service at the CC store. I've done this twice in the last year at different addresses. I wonder if the install fee was for...

You need some roommates! I "converted" my living room and dining room into bedrooms so the upstairs is 3 bedrooms, 2 bath and a kitchen. The floor of the finished basement is partially removed so that I could pour some footers and fix the structural problems.

I actually prefer smallish bedrooms and larger common areas. And for that matter smallish yards and larger parks.

Shut the vents on the first and second floor to force the air to the third floor. Duct tape them if you have to.

Does the LED come back on do when you unplug it from the laptop? Try taking out the battery and waiting awhile then running the laptop off of external power only. Try reseating the memory and hard drive? Does the room smell funny after shocking yourself?

GM has always been its own worst enemy. "Hopefully, GM and the others will come to their senses and refuse to play the UAW's game. If they give on this one, they'll show the UAW how desperate they are. They'll signal the UAW that they're willing to be the union's bitch in other power struggles...

Fail.

SWEET! Wii?

uda, the Luxim bulb is Argon plasma.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTGsM9pplUs&NR=1 They claim more than 80% of original output of full spectrum light even after 25 000 hours.

I second that Gilbo.

Including other debates in my response required me to keep the wording loose. But yes, not reading something you want to discuss is retarded and makes discussion a waste of time.

I've read stories before just like this with academic amateurs trying to debate experts. I've run into nut jobs with all different life philosophies. I guess once being smug stopped being entertaining it wasn't funny anymore.

I'm still trying to figure out why it was posted here. Its funny but not that funny. <shrug>

XenServer is the way to go man.

Yeah BMI is not an effective measurement for athletes. My own BMI almost has me in the overweight category. Here is a list of Olympic level athletes who are in the overweight class by BMI. http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/bmiathletes.php Direct body fat tests are really the way to go.

I wrote a small batch program last year to make a 512MB text file that I copy over and over. It is for a similar purpose. The nice thing is that when it is zipped up it is very small as the contents are a repetition of a single character.

T-Bone Burnett and Brian Lanois are my favorite producers. Burnett started out as a musician but has worked as a producer for the last ten years.

The convection aspect of my post is just a basic part of a Heat and Mass transfer engineering course. The particular fluid used between the panes is variable. http://www.taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/articles/understanding-energy-efficient-windows.aspx

Those are interesting concepts. BTW, the energy efficiency of double paned windows is from the argon gas sealed between the panes. Convection occurs in any space and in fact a larger space would be better than a smaller space. It does distort the view more though.

Yeah, I've never had a hangover either despite having some of the attendant effects. I have awoken in very odd places but no hangover. For us domestics I like Michelob, particularly Amber Bock. Liam, perhaps I'm not understanding what you have written but it is the hops that has the...

Funny. I like Guinness and other stouts as well as all the ales (particularly english brown ales) I've tried. But I don't like very hoppy beers.

Not knowing the references I'm not sure if you think it was too hoppy or not hoppy enough.

If you didn't stay all the way through the credits you missed out!

Ooops. I didn't see that 'except near a window' part. Carry on. Carry on.

Do you know exactly where the signal is coming from? If so you can always use a Pringles can. : )

Congrats!

I like it! But I don't have the need right now.

Do you rest your remote controls face down too?

I still have a set of those speakers. Of course, I bought mine before Creative bought Cambridge and while Henry Kloss was still running the company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Soundworks
