Moving to Heatsink Fan
What the article didn't say was that many customers are simply switching over to the heatsink fans currently needed to keep AMD Athlon Processors cool

*BSD support
This will never replace X11 because it has support only for Linux. What about all the other unices out there?

Re:Who owns the results?
http://folding.stanford.edu/faq.html#project.own states:
Unlike other distributed computing projects, Folding@home is run by an academic institution (specifically the Pande Group, at Stanford University's Chemistry Department), which is a nonprofit institution dedicated to science research and education. We will not sell the data or make any money off of it.

One excerpt from the book...
One excerpt from the book reads:
"Now, imagine Microsoft wanted to get into the appliance business," the recruiter then said. "Suppose we wanted to run a microwave oven from the computer. What software would you write to do this?"
"Why would you want to do that?" asked McKenna. "I don't want to go to my refrigerator, get out some food, put it in the microwave, and then run to my computer to start it!" "Well, the microwave could still have buttons on it too."
"So why do I want to run it from my computer?" "Well maybe you could make it programmable? For example, you could call your computer from work and have it start cooking your turkey." "But wouldn't my turkey," asked McKenna, "or any other food, go bad sitting in the microwave while I'm at work? I could put a frozen turkey in, but then it would drip water everywhere."
"What other options could the microwave have?" the recruiter asked. Pause. "For example, you could use the computer to download and exchange recipes." "You can do that now. Why does Microsoft want to bother with connecting the computer to the microwave?" "Well let's not worry about that. Just assume that Microsoft has decided this. It's your job to think up uses for it." McKenna thought in silence.
"Now maybe the recipes could be very complex," the recruiter said. "Like, 'Cook food at seven hundred watts for two minutes, then at three hundred watts for two more minutes, but don't let the temperature get above three hundred degrees.'"
"Well there is probably a small niche of people who would really love that, but most people can't program their VCR."
The Microsoft recruiter extended his hand. "Well, it was nice to meet you, Gene. Good luck with your job search." "Yeah," said McKenna. "Thanks."
It makes McKenna look to be the smart one, and Microsoft to be the dumb one. I am actually glad McKenna didn't get the job.
Microwaves with a built in fridge facility are hitting the shelves right now. These microwaves overcome the problem of the food not staying fresh by acting in fridge mode until the programmed time, and then the heat begins. After cooking, they can then keep a food item warm for you from then on until you arrive home.
It will probably make a fortune. Sorry McKenna but you were correct in diagnosing the problems involved, but you didn't bring a solution to those problems. Good luck with your job search.

Patched Binary Available - Very Easy Update
If you want to patch your system up quickly, simply get the updated sendmail program in binary form from:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA- 03:04/
For my system (FreeBSD 4.7) I grabbed:
sendmail-4.7-i386-crypto.bin.gz
And installed it with these commands:
gunzip sendmail-4.7-i386-crypto.bin.gz
install -s -o root -g smmsp -m 2555 sendmail-4.7-i386-crypto.bin /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

easter eggs
They should have done that trick where each developer gets a slightly different copy, possibly each having a different easter egg embedded inside. All they then have to do is download the version from the internet and trigger the easter egg to find out which copy was leaked and cut that developer off.

FreeBSD kernel compile with icc
Just for peoples reference, I came across these patches for the FreeBSD kernel (LINT) to get it going with icc.
I haven't tried them yet but I would love to see the whole of FreeBSD compiled with icc. The speed increase would be very cool.

Correction
the readme says:
if your XF86Config has a "Device" section with a 'Driver "nv"' line, you will need to update it to 'Driver "nv"'
this should say:
if your XF86Config has a "Device" section with a 'Driver "nv"' line, you will need to update it to 'Driver "nvidia"'

It is easy to tell if he is capable of time travel
To really prove that he is capable of time travel, all he has to do is say "When my machine works later this year, I guarantee that I will travel in time back to the 6th April 2002 with him sufficent proof (a newspaper from 7th Apirl for example)".
If his machine works - he should appear with said newspaper. If he hasn't (which is my suspicion) then he won't - simple.
If time travel were possible, we would know about it.
