Gotta go setup a new array and more some data. Note: I disagree. I think the quad opteron is much more happier in my safe, cool, raised floor, generator backup power, 24 x 7 attended, Gbit backbone, 31TB SAN attached, LTO2 backed up, halon workalike protected, 10mbit ethernet internet connected computer room than it could ever possibly be in your house. And it would get lonely without all the other quad opterons to keep it company. Oh, you thought it was the only one? nonononono. That was the 1st box to prove it out. We are standardizing on them for our high end high io compute needs. They will replace the Sun 450s.

Post #176,922 by CRConrad 9/29/04 1:43:02 AM Reply	Still spam; just spam on dead trees. What -- you didn't think what you do for a living is in any way admirable or honourable, did you?

Post #176,950 by broomberg 9/29/04 8:19:15 AM Reply	"admirable or honourable" - Yup Both actually. Depends on the project of the moment. [link\|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=honourable\|http://dictionary.re...arch?q=honourable] This should be all projects I work on. Don't screw the client, provide a product or service that they need, use renewable resources, employ a variety of people (and yes, I'm pretty sure they all have the legal right to work in this country, if not being full citizens, we have a VERY strict HR department), provide full health benefits for all employees with a modest co-pay for family coverage). Yup, this one I'm sure of. [link\|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=admirable\|http://dictionary.re...earch?q=admirable] This one as well, but not all the time. Think of ways to do things that are better / faster / cheaper / easier / safer / less error prone / higher quality than before. Implement them in a way that is the most cost effective, trying to use best resource for the project. Fight others, even when they are scary and have the possibility to hurt me, when I think they are doing things the wrong way that would end up hurting the company, employees, or our long term ability to be in business. Put my ego aside and let others shine and have credit for their ideas or work effort. Note: About 1/3 of our business is fullfillment. We maintain stock for companies and send it out on a daily basis, typically triggerred by a customer / prospective client calling and asking for it. Would you be trying to find something wrong with that as well?
Post #177,018 by CRConrad 9/29/04 1:54:13 PM Reply	The fulfillment (sic) third, maybe. The rest? Nope. Barry demonstrates that some times, not even an on-line dictionary helps to understand terms like "admirable" or "honourable": Don't screw the client, provide a product or service that they need, blah blah yadda yadda. and ...better / faster / cheaper / easier / safer / less error prone / higher quality ... cost effective, blah blah yadda yadda. Oh, how wonderful. "Yes, Don Pepe, I have conscientiously and safely loaded the shipment that our American clients ordered on tonight's convoy across the Rio Grande." Or, "Jawohl, Sturmbannführer, I have come up with a faster, cheaper, and less error-prone way of processing the inmates for the final camp." That, too, is satisfying the direct "client" -- it all depends on how you define that term (and this is why I added the emphasis to the quotes above). The ultimate "client", though, is more properly called "the victim", at least in my two examples... And quite arguably, IMO, in your case too. YTF would spam be any better just because it comes on "dead trees" (i.e, paper)?!? (On the contrary, that means you have to kill not only innocent electrons like e-spammers, but entire living breathing trees, too!) Note: About 1/3 of our business is fullfillment. We maintain stock for companies and send it out on a daily basis, typically triggerred by a customer / prospective client calling and asking for it. Would you be trying to find something wrong with that as well? No, that part seems like it quite possibly could be admirable and honourable. (Can't swear to it, of course -- if this is the "fulfillment" part of an MLM scheme, or something like that, then I'd guess it isn't, after all.)
