I've recently written three BASH scripts, each of which are licensed under version 3 of the GNU Public License. In each case, there are already plenty of scripts out there that do more or less the same thing. What makes these stand out is that rather than simply running a single, linear 'for'...

HWF was down intermittently at around 08:00 GMT today. It seems the server was rebooted multiple times from an outside source, most likely by ServInt staff via the hypervisor. Whether the downtime was scheduled or due to emergency maintenance is unknown; I'll post any updates in this thread as...

Is your system randomly crashing, rebooting, freezing, etc? Please try the following suggestions before posting a new thread: Consider the make & model of your PSU. A cheap, generic, or underspecified PSU can be the cause of many stability-related issues or even damage other components. As...

I just ran across this during a routine Google search: hubpages.com -- netflix review The comments... simply PRICELESS. This is internet gold, people. :)

Why am I selling an awesome card like this? Basically, I was having GPU crashes and thought for sure it was bad, so I replaced it with a core 216 GTX 260. In reality, the issue turned out to be a feature of my motherboard, which I disabled in the Linux kernel and therefore worked around the...

Apparently MSNBOT no longer pays any attention to robots.txt. Sniper had set the connection limit for msnbot to once every 2 minutes. Instead, it was making hundreds of connections per second, which severely bogged down the server. I've dropped their IP block for the time being, but if you...

From our hosting provider, ServInt: EDIT: Maintenance is over, normal service should resume uninterrupted.

I'll be performing an OS upgrade at 21:00 PST, during which the forums and Zone365.com may be slow or unreachable. This process took anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes on the several hosts where I've already performed the upgrade, and went without a hitch. EDIT: Finished, the process went fine...

Swine Flu Scare, 1976 - And History Repeats... Does this scenario sound familiar to anybody? Amazing. This video is 32 years old.

My wife and I decided to make a few batches of homemade beef jerky. Some of these are experiments, made up on the spot: Special steak-marinated jerky with Guinness and marmite Habenero, chili and lime jerky Jerky basted in Guinness-flavored BBQ sauce with Bhut Jolokia chillis (the hottest...

At 24:00 PST tonight (07/19/09), the Apache and MySQL services on this server are set to restart to apply new settings optimized for our current amount of guaranteed memory. This process should only account for a few minutes of downtime if all goes as planned. Best regards, -AT UPDATE...

To me the following observations stand out: Their lyrics are bland and uninspired. The music is derivative and self-indulgent. Apparently they believe masturbatory riffs and solos are somehow to equal music. The singer is just plain awful. Where did they find that guy? Their look... anyone...

HWF will be unavailable temporarily while the web and database services are restarted as part of performance-related maintenance. Expected downtime is very minimal. EDIT: Maintenance completed 08-07-09 23:46 PST, thanks for your patience.

You might want to try 2.6.29.5, especially if you have ATI graphics. 2.6.30 has some issues, and ATI is apparently too far behind in the development game; their drivers won't build against '30 yet. Also, what CPU do you have? If it's a later p4 like a Prescott or Pentium-D, you can use the...

Hello, Today I'm selling a surplus sound card, an Audigy SE by Creative. The card is brand new, but the seal on the box has been broken and the card has been tested and verified as working. Otherwise, this card is brand-new without so much as dust on it. It will be provided in the retail box...
