similar to: ZFS on Mac - new sighting

According to arstechnica, <http://arstechnica.com/reviews/games/forever.ars>Duke Nukem Forever has been ported to Ruby on Rails and is now rendered with some kind of magic mishmash of svg-canvas and ajax! This truely is an example of the incredible power of a web browser. Any hope for getting Mr. Fowler to add a Recipe for this type of thing in his new book? ;) -------------- next part

Hello, I''ve stumbled upon this article: http://storagemojo.com/2011/06/27/de-dup-too-much-of-good-thing/ Reportedly Sandforce SF1200 SSD controller does internally block-level data de-duplication. This effectively removes the additional protection given by writing multiple metadata copies. This technique may be used, or can be used in the future by manufactureres of other drives too. I

This article raises the concern that SSD controllers (in particular SandForce) do internal dedup, and in particular that this could defeat ditto-block style replication of critical metadata as done by filesystems including ZFS. http://storagemojo.com/2011/06/27/de-dup-too-much-of-good-thing/ Along with discussion of risk evaluation, it also suggests that filesystems could vary each copy in some

Hello, May I introduce myself - I''m the publisher of the new ruby API for facebook site (for now titled rfacebook questions & answers) - and way back I''ve published the Java Web Start F.A.Q (*1). Anyways, if you''re using the Facebooker gem I invite you to let us know about your Facebook app and if you''re sign-on I will follow-up with sending you four

At my physics lab we have 30 servers with 1TB disk packs. I am in need of monitoring for disk failures. I have been reading about SMART and it seems it can help. However, I am not sure what to look for if a drive is about to fail. Any thoughts about this? Is anyone using this method to predetermine disk failures? TIA

I've been looking out for the Uniden UIP1868 for a while now, but I haven't seen it anwhere that I'm used to buying things from. According to froogle, a couple of places (that I've never heard of) have a small number in stock (small = 10 in this case). I'm doubly suspicious because even uniden's own online store doesn't have them available yet, not to mention

So I go into a new Apple store on Sat to buy some stuff for my Mini, and I notice some Snom 360's on the sales counter. Venturing a question, I ask, are they using Asterisk? Guys says yes. Cool! I said: What kind of box are you using. He points to a Mini sitting on the counter! 2 X cool! He's using a SIP-FX0 converter. Plug: http://www.mymacdealer.com great store in Alberta. Anyone else

Hi, I just started a new page on the CentOS wiki called "InTheMedia" <http://wiki.centos.org/InTheMedia>. I'd like to collect sightings of CentOS in all (linkable) media formats on that page, like newspapers, news tickers, magazines on the web or even TV and Radio. If you've seen some report on the news about CentOS and you have a link - send this link and a short

Hello, When I run the following glm model: modelresult=glm(CID~WS+SS+DV+DS, data=kimu, family=binomial) I get the following warning messages: 1: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge 2: glm.fit: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred What I am trying to do is model my response variable (CID: correct bird identification) as a function of the predictor variables weather state (WS), sea

Hi, Thanks to some pointers from Christian Kratzer, I am now able to join the office VPN from a random WiFi hotspot. With the configuration files changes detailed below, from a public WiFi hotspot I can now use this 3 step procedure to login to the office VPN. 1) While at hotspot, boot up my -STABLE laptop. 2) Insert wireless card. 3) "rsh server" This procedure works for a DHCP

I'm very new to R and modeling but need some help with visualization of glms. I'd like to make a graph of my glms to visualize the different effects of different parameters. I've got a binary response variable (bird sightings) and use binomial glms. The 'main' response variable is a measure of distance to a track and the parameters I'm testing for are vegetation parameters

Hello, I have recently installed a lustre cluster which is in a test phase now but will potentially be in 24x7 production if its accepted. I would like input from the list on what the recommendations/best practices are for configuration of a lustre cluster startup. Is it advisable to have lustre on the various server pieces (mgs/mdt/oss''s) start automatically? If not why not?

Hi there, I am fairly new to R and I have been trying to figure out how to separate a column of substrate data that I have into separate parts using R. An example of my data looks like this is: gmtTime Classification ClassValue Species Count 1449 Sand 30 1449 Mud 70 Brittle Star 1 1449 Mud 70

Hello list, I think I have a rails related RSpec problem with a mock going out of scope on a recursive call to a model. The code is at: http://pastie.textmate.org/79821 if you want to see it highlighted. I have pasted it below as well. Basically, I have an acts_as_nested_set model called "Node", which works fine. I have a function which finds the language name of the node instance.

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented

Hi Louis, It's simple to run a r script from the excel spreadsheet. Just write your code, source("C:\\Quantil Aplicativos\\Genercauca\\BackwardSelectionNC.r"), into a cell of a workingsheet. Then right-click the cell and select "run code" in the pop-up menu. Hope this will help you. Best, Bernard -----????----- ???: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces

Hi All, The only Centos PPC distro that I could find is at: http://vault.centos.org/4.0beta/isos/ppc Is there an official (non-beta) release of Centos 4 (or better yet Centos 5)? If not, are there plans for such a release? Best Mike

All, First off, I know that naming directories is completely arbitrary, but I am just trying to get some opinions regarding best practices. I only use one samba share (home). There is a symlink called "share" in each users' $HOME that points to /opt/data/share, which has a *many* subdirectories (owned by certain groups). Since there are so many subdirectories, I am reluctant to
