    Some (probably easy) bash scripting help

    Okay, I feel like I need to bow to the Linux gods on this one. Been at it for 2 hours now with no luck, and my Google Fu is spectacularly unhelpful. Here's the deal: I have a bunch of different servers that have a bunch of LSI RAID controllers that I need to run a command on to output SMART...

    This pretty much sums up how my day has been going today.

    Combination of -nodeps and --allmatches fixed my problem. Thanks! I was trying all sorts of shit to get an updated version onto that host; rsync and scp were involved. It was painful.

    Question for folks familiar with megacli

    Thanks for the help. After trying everything imaginable, it turns out you can get the commands to pass by putting in [:3], i.e., not putting anything for enclosure id. Updating to a newer version of megacli would have been much easier, but unfortunately this is a cloud compute datacenter...

    Question for folks familiar with megacli

    I've had to start using megacli quite a bit at my new job, and while it's generally a pain in the ass (why do some flags have no vowels while others randomly do...?) I've pretty much gotten the hang of it. However, I'm at something of an impasse right now. I've got a number of boxes that had...

    VCP4 cert holders with other certs: How hard is the VCP exam?

    From what I understand, I can take the exam without the class, it's just that VMware won't "recognize" a passing score without showing that I've taken the class. I'm aware I won't be able to say I have my VCP, I just want to be able to say I passed the exam. At that point, in theory, they'll...

    VCP4 cert holders with other certs: How hard is the VCP exam?

    I've got little-to-no experience with VMware specifically, but I understand virtualization concepts well. Essentially, I want to see if it's feasible to go from that point to VCP4 certified in 4 weeks (3-4 hours studying per day, more on weekends) as a kind of "Fuck you" to my company, who sent...

    My Captivate Review

    How sturdy does the phone feel? How accurate is the touch screen? Phone looks good, and so do the specs. I have severe trust issues with Samsung after the Eternity, though.

    Need recommendation for sturdy AT&T phone

    I got a Samsung "Eternity" back in November 2008. Thought the touch screen performed well enough in the store, but I realized after using it daily that the entire phone is just slow as fuck. Oh, and the touch screen stopped working a month ago. Kinda shitty thing for a phone that can *only be...

    I want to start learning webapp development. Where do I start?

    Maybe my Google Fu is weak, but every search I've tried invariably leads to articles from sites like about.com from 8 years ago about how to make an Angelfire family album in HTML. It's starting to become professionally desirable for me to jump into programming, specifically of the dynamic...

    Best cheap stuff to use for CCNA Labs?

    I'm at the portion of studying for my CCNA that I'm going to have to start doing some physical, hands-on experience.

    I actually brought like 5 pies to work on 3/14 2 years ago. My COO is the only one who understood it without explanation. He even got why I wanted the company to enjoy them together in the conference room starting at 1:59 PM. I respected him even moreso after that.

    MW2 Prestige Mode

    I'm P2L52 right now, and I'll probably finish up the third prestige and call it quits. While earning new stuff is fun, it just kind of feels like a grind after so many times. The kids that were at their 10th Prestige by December need to get fucking hobbies, IMO.

    Piracy Isn’t Killing The Movie Industry, Greed Is

    B-b-b-but the only reason profits are so high is because their antipiracy mechanisms are so effective. Profits would be at least 200% higher if they didn't have to spend so much money monitoring and suing those goddamn pirates. The bastards!

    Live Coverage of the Apple Event

    You're a little behind...they are, indeed, opening an ebook store just for this device. And they are - just as you would expect - now calling them iBooks. $13 and $15, I believe were the pricing levels. Supposedly some "interactive content" is what warrants the price jump over standard ebooks.

    Three Dell 30" and three 5870 cards

    TBH, I think that's the most negligible return you'll see out of the parts you've chosen - moreso than a second or third 5870. The CPU overhead for an on-board mirror is going to be infinitesimally small. It's only once you start striping data or calculating parity that the CPU will begin to...
