Re: search.cpan.org MIA?
Hi, The server that hosts search.cpan.org that people in europe will be sent to as their local mirror is currently having some problems with it's application engine. I've asked the admins to have a look at it and it should be back shortly. regards, Paul On 10/05/2012 17:45, Christian Werner wrote: Works for me.

Or 'on any machine connected to a UPS that's correctly configured to shut the machine down properly'? Or 'on any machine in a datacenter with generators for backup power'. These things are being marketed for use in desktops. Indeed, in residential areas with flaky power, a simple UPS which evens out the power spikes and can provide valuable minutes to shutdown your PC is well worth the £50 or so that it costs, as it will save you in 95% of situations. For big hosting operations when uptime is critical, everything gets exponentially more complicated as you factor in everything that can possibly go wrong. Also regardless of what systems people put in place, you can never discount the human factor to mess it up and turn off the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like disconnecting and testing the UPS batteries while another team decides to test the failover circuit between UPS battery banks and switches the datacentre power to pull from the disconnected bank.

Re: Working in London
Hi, Provided you are using a registered childcare provider (which you'd be mad not to) and your employers signs up to the scheme (which most employers have) then *each* parent can apply for £243 of childcare vouchers each month which come off your gross salary so you pay no tax or NI. regards, Paul
Re: [Fwd: Betonmarkets CTO position]
Things have moved on a lot since then. Firstly these two companies are not in any way related and secondly no reputable online gaming company offers accounts to US customers, thus avoid the need for anyone working for them to get arrested mid-flight.

A silly friday question to settle a discussion If you have an event that will happen at a future point in time, say 4 am and you move it to run at 2am that same day, have you moved the event forwards or backwards ? regards, Paul

Firstly I completely agree on the issues around copyright theft itself and that the link should not have been posted. I had assumed that everyone on this list had reached a level of sophistication where they realized this was the prevailing viewpoint, I'm sorry to discover that I am wrong. Secondly I find myself surprised that in a discussion that is all about leniency and being welcoming and not biting peoples heads off that you make such a blanket assumption that the original poster was doing this deliberately in full knowledge that it was copyright theft. Had I discovered that site myself, via google (it appears as the third link for programming perl) I would have made the assumption that it was a legal site since I imagine ORA have lawyers that are looking for copyright violations and would be great at getting Google to remove it even if they can't get it removed from the ukranian server. Yet again I find myself shaking my head in sadness at this list because yet again someone has used a very large mallet to beat down an unknown poster who was making a very valid point (he just happened to link to copyrighted material, which yes he shouldn't have done) but he gets a huge long diatribe rather than a simple not sure if you realised but that site is hosting that material illegally, please don't link to it again P.
