Q: What if the servers are some 4U beasts with 36x 3.5" drives each?

A: On top of the UPS, because you don’t get paid enough for the hazard involved in lifting them higher.

Sidenote: More than once, for shorter surveys/projects/setups, I’ve built what we refer to as a doodlebugger-pile. You just stack it on the floor, and secure it with some two-by-fours and screws. Because finding a deep enough rack and manhandling it up multiple decks on a ship is fucking awful. If it’s secure enough to not slide during heavy seas, it’s good enough for seismic.

At least there was no REAL conflict of interest at play, such as peanut farming

Not sure if it’s still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for “gun timing”, which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).

The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.

Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.

I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.

They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:

• Top row was one PC (linux)
• Middle row was another (linux)
• Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
• Bottom right was its own (linux)
• middle two at the bottom was windows.

They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.

I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.

Should work, yes. A filename is independent of the file contents, and this includes the extension. You can rename it back and forth as much as you like.

Caveats, presuming you’resending via mail:

• There could be a size limitation for attachments
• There could be some sort of content scanning/verification at play

Alternatively, upload the file somewhere and send a link instead

Only one of them is formally annexing the occupied territory, though.

They’re both illegal occupations of foreign territory. But only one of them is actually declaring annexation.

Fuck them both either way. Nuance matters in writing, even if it amounts to the same thing.

EDIT: The headline specifically mentions Lebanese territory. Your reading comprehension sucks.

Fuck spez

Where did xmms go, by the way?

Norwegian here. Neutral to positive, really. On average, that is. Sure, we have some shitheads that oppose people of the wrong color or creed, but they’re in the vast minority.

My tiny town has been enriched by immigrants. Eons ago, before I moved here from the other end of the country, a lot of Chileans moved here after fleeing Pinochet. Then once Assad truly bungled Syria, we got some Syrians too. And over the past few years there have been a few Ukranian families.

Some stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason

I’m seriously interested. Where can I learn more about this?
Is there somewhere online where I can play this?

I like both chess and variation…

I’ve done some very dodgy things with VGA cables in an effort to route the cables through narrow bulkheads. For normal computer-to-monitor-lengths this is probably fine.

I haven’t noticed much signal degradation below 4m-ish.

At 12m, you better solder properly and wrap some extra shielding around your splice.

Source: I’ve ran plenty of VGA cables between bridge computers and a deck monitor on ships.

Most of the time I’ve seen this, it’s usually just shitty consumer grade firmware full of memory leaks.

Not really, but you’d probably learn hotkeys much faster.

No

Older series mostly use historically significant people, none of which are Benny F

I’d tell you a joke about brown dwarves, but it’s kinda dark…

Because nobody reading the article knows the exchange value of Norwegian Kroner and Øre, so it’s common to cite price tags in USD equivalent.

This is going to be freedom fries all over again
