Well, if they are running purely single threaded applications on a T2, someone didn't do their homework! PS. Oracle announced that the T4-4 server can now configured with up to 2TB of RAM, in 4 socket configurations. (4 sockets = 4 CPU w/8 cores /w8 threads per core = 32cores or 256 hardware...

Out of interest, the other guy, has he done any of the Solaris 10 training courses? I know when I did my Solaris 10 System Administration Track, even the basic level certification includes a whole module on Zones/Containers. Whilst Solaris 10 doesn't have crossbow (which was introduced with...

Congratulations! Well, you could replace the 23 servers with 2-4 dual-socket 6 or 8 core Xeons based servers, and absolutely blow away performance (over the single i7 setup), and not to mention SAVE $$ on power and cooling. (If they are intent on spending money). It certainly sounds like they...

I wrote quite a few years ago when I was the ICT manager. It was just under two pages and cleared both HR and legal in less than a day. Basically, company supplied phones were for work purposes only however a small allowance was made for personal calls. Excessive personal calls would be invoiced...

This site has some dtrace scripts to help with getting IO information: http://prefetch.net/articles/solaris.dtracetopten.html

You're welcome.

Not at all, the simple solutions are often the best when dealing with zones. RBAC to the rescue... # usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr <username> where <username> is the user that the process runs under. This will give the user access to any port below 1024, not just 443. I assume...

PS. to disable any firewalls, but run: #svcadm disable svc:/network/ipfilter in the zone effected, and then run # ipfstat -io to confirm that all rules are disabled.

I wasn't aware ports were filtered by default in zone setups, unless you've enabled the firewall? Also have you setup any flows within the virtual switch? But what you are describing about being under 1024 not accessible, by default only root (or root equivalent) users or applications running...

no, sorry, I just use rsync for my stuff, but then again it's 1 desktop to an external HDD in my case. Have you consider bacula as a replacement amanda? (I've played with bacula and it was pretty easy). The only other option would be BackUp Exec, but IIRC they are ending Solaris support as of...

IIRC, MS Flight Simulator (or other flight sim).

Cool, glad you found it. BTW Solaris 11.1 was announced yesterday.

So how long before someone writes a Photoshop filter to remove it?

Bubble sort is really slow compared to most others. Typically it depends on the underlying data structure of the list/vector, but most go with either a merge sort or a quick sort. Or the bright programmers use a binary search tree like a AVL or Red-Black tree where items are naturally sorted and...

Re: MTP - It depends on the device. I've had no problems sycning any files names on Solaris/Linux (with gMTP which uses libmtp.so as the backend library), but gMTP and libmtp are fully Unicode aware. The problem may be that the underlying filesystem that your device is using may not be UTF-8...

For me, most of my work is on my 3yr old desktop, and for Uni it's my 10" netbook - since it has a full day use out of it (up to 9hrs if I set the CPU performance manually, with ~7hrs if left to ondemand). Hardly use my phone except for the occasional causal game (one touch drawing at the...

Toshiba has released ICS for all Thrive 10" (including the AT100 in Australia), and is a nice improvement over Honeycomb. (display/UI is much more fluid). Still waiting on ICS for the Thrive 7" (AT1S0) here, but has been released for the US Thrive 7s.

Just like to thank time, H and SD for making me laugh! ;)

I know Slashdot has gone downhill, but Geeknet sold off Slashdot, FreeCode and Sourceforge to Dice Holdings... While I tend to read ./ daily due to habit (rarely if ever post), I do have a few projects on Sourceforge that I maintain... just hope that they don't f**k over Sourceforge as there...

Arr, go thim prisoners "Eclipse" and "git", time to walk the plank...

After spending time reading about Android, etc (continuation of the other thread), the reason that cheap tablets and phones are missing 'standard applications', is that a manufacturer must pay for them! While Android (the OS) is (mostly) open-source, all the applications that sit on top of...

Does "People of WalMart" imply this: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/photos/random-photos/

Who broke what? (bones or servers).

Interesting that it runs Debian, so you could extend the functionality quite easily as well...

Certainly agree, it was hard enough for people trying to get the certification to work out what they had to get, let alone the poor HR people who had no IT knowledge...

Really sorry to hear, considered the new skills you've gained over the past months. Don't worry, I went through the same thing in 3 jobs in a row... 1. 3mths - left as I hadn't been paid in a month, despite promises of the owner. (Word has it the owner was investigated by the ATO (Australian...

Ouch, that's cool as we only need it for another 8 weeks! We decided on using uispec4j for the UI testing framework, as all test code can be scripted as normal JUnit tests. uisepc4j does have some limits, like it only works with Java6, but that's not an issue since both Google App Engine and...

The thing with Android is, it's great on the consumer side, but once you start having to develop for or with, it get's downright painful. (Considering the MTP stack in Android 3.x has known issues, which were fixed in 4.1, but that sucks for people whose manufacturers haven't pushed 4.0, let...

Thanks, but we followed this: https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/soap to get SOAP working. It's works, but the amount of work compared to say using Glassfish, Tomcat or even WCF (in the windows world) is a little off-putting. I personally expected something a lot more streamlined...

Thanks guys, I think Sol is the only one who does mobile development. But anyway, Google App Engine is turning out to be painful (no native SOAP//REST support for web services), the default datastore requires special considerations on what you are storing, etc. I haven't touched Android since...

So they can tell you they got a crap cup of coffee from Starbucks... or... crap I don't know.

Cool, thanks.

Quick question on superheros, Batman in particular. (My wife asked me this, and I had no idea). I know why Batman became a crime figher (due to the witnessing his parent's being murdered), however why did he choose the bat persona?

Hi Guys, This is a question for those that actually develop Android apps. Besides JUnit for underlying business logic code testing, what test harness/software do you use for UI testing? And can the UI test harness results be used/integrated with Hudson? (FYI. Hudson is running on a headless...

Just had to reboot my wifes HTC Wildfire (w/ Froyo) due to some weird software fault with battery usage (it would drain the battery in 8-12 hours)... it had 7200 hours uptime... After the reboot, problem fixed...

Re: ebay. I know a lot of people here is Aus, leaving eBay for other local services, due to fees, scams and people that you don't want to deal with. IIRC, most are switching to either TradingPost or GumTree especially if they don't want to deal with the auction model of selling.

Hi, Sorry for not responding, and I don't think I'll be able to answer your questions, but here is some info: Any Android 3.0+ device uses MTP for file transfers between host and device (pretty common knowledge these days). The MTP specification itself does have playlist support, however from...

Just saw this linked elsewhere: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts All I have to say is:

From my personal experience, I've rarely had an issue with them on the older GPUs (like those found in the northbridge, eg 945G/GMA3100). I've haven't used them with anything newer than Core2 based chipsets (G43), so can't tell for newer CPU integrated GPUs.

Intel problem, since they are the ones writing the drivers for *nix. AFAIK, there were some known issues with IVB based graphics, but have been fixed in recent Intel driver updates. However for Ivy Bridge based CPUs, you really do need the Intel 12.07 driver set. (Mesa 8.0, Intel 2.20.0, Linux...

I don't know what AMD engineers where thinking with the current Bulldozer design, since they had a good design previously. But alas, you can't keep throwing cores at a design (just ask Sun about the Sparc T3s) and expect performance, you need a good IPC (instructions per cycle) coupled with a...

Please don't say that, my two at 4 and 2 are hard enough...

dd, Congratulations! Having children is certainly a life changing event! As Stirker mentions, patience will see you through most things, and sometimes an S10 or M50 gas mask is needed as well! :-o

Just acquired my first TB+ capacity HDD, a Hitachi 2TB 7K3000 (aka HDS723020BLA642) ... Functions as advertised, and the performance is a nice improvement over the 250GB WDC Blue drive it replaced. PS. This is a 512byte sector drive, not one of the 4K drives.

Whoa, considering I've been to two of my own, it's certainly rare to not have been to at least one. IIRC. I've been to about 10 weddings in the past 10 years.

Well, after 2 minutes scanning the configuration file, ejabberd it is. (It does everything I need). Took more time stuffing around with SSL, than making it work in plain-text mode, it was that easy.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give ejabberd a look first, since it's in Arch's main repository.

Hi All, As part of a team project this semester at Uni, I setting up a team server that has: 1. Apache + MySQL + PHP installed (classic LAMP stack). 2. dotProject Project Management Suite 3. Subversion Server 4. Hudson for CI 5. SSH 6. IM Server. I've got most things running (still need to do...
