P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz
GraveD sent linkage to a site
explaining how a homemade nitrogen cooling system
overclocked a P4
from 2.2Ghz to an incredible 3.5ghz. There's plenty of stuff
to poke at over there. Update: 01/17 20:42 GMT by T : boaworm writes: "According to this paper, the Finnish geeks have successfully oveclocked a Pentium 4 to 3675 Mhz. They claim it is a new World Record, and it sure looks like they beaten another O/C'd Pentium 4 submitted earlier today on slashdot. (Summary in English in the end)."
I'm back, and it hurts and stuff.

Oracle9i. Unbreakable. Can't break it. Can't break in.
Legally they are correct. The DMCA says you can't break it, and various other laws say you can't break in.
Have you seen Osama in there?
i would have to loved to have been a fly on the wall in the oracle engineering department the day ellison announced that their software was unbreakable. i guarantee you the engineers at oracle wouldn't have supported that campaign, if they even knew about it before ellison announced it at comdex. it's tough enough to keep your software secure when your ceo isn't directly taunting every hacker in the world.
Well, because Forth to understand, like Yoda you must speak, that is.

I haven't seen it either. Oracle hasn't seen it either b/c they are over their heads in bullshit.
You are obviously against us!

Wow, there are a whole lot of pissed off mods today. I'm all in favor of moderation, just look at all the -1 posts to see why, but when it gets abused like this, I can only wonder how many truly good posts have been moded down by moderators who think that the mere fact that they don't agree with some one's opinions makes that post a troll. Thank god for metamoding.
Sleep is for the weak!
Come on people. Oracle explained that they used the term "unbreakable" because it passed 14 security audits. Some people say you can't crash linux because it typically doesn't - but it can.
:-)
By and large the Oracle products are very good... We use them in some extremely large and significant datawarehousing situations and have probably managed to kill the server once in three years. Many times we've been amazed at what developers have thrown at the server without killing it - Oracle is very good at recovering from users mistakes.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing what the obvious vulnerabilities are - I dread the number of server upgrades to be tested though. The client I'm working for now has about 250 instances registered with their 24*7 DBA team already... You have no idea how hard it can be to choose a unique 4 character SID sometimes.
Long live Oracle... I'm sure Larry won't lose any sleep (or money) over this since it is still clearly the best product out there.
Osama! Is that you? I heard you'd escaped to the sea!
Dear Mr. Architect:
Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need,
so you should use your discretion.
My house should have between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure
the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted.
When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of
what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each configuration so
that I can arbitrarily pick one.
Keep in mind that the house I ultimately choose must cost less than the
one I am currently living in. Make sure, however, that you correct all
the deficiencies that exist in my current house (the floor of my kitchen
vibrates when I walk across it, and the walls don't have nearly enough
insulation in them).
As you design, also keep in mind that I want to keep yearly maintenance
costs as low as possible. This should mean the incorporation of
extra-cost features like aluminum, vinyl, or composite siding. (If you
choose not to specify aluminum, be prepared to explain your decision in
detail.)
Please take care that modern design practices and the latest materials
are used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a showplace for
the most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be alerted, however, that kitchen
should be designed to accommodate, among other things, my 1952 Gibson
refrigerator.
To insure that you are building the correct house for our entire family,
make certain that you contact each of our children, and also our in-laws.
My mother-in-law will have very strong feelings about how the house
should be designed, since she visits us at least once a year. Make sure
that you weigh all of these options carefully and come to the right
decision. I, however, retain the right to overrule any choices that you
make.
Please don't bother me with small details right now. Your job is to
develop the overall plans for the house: get the big picture. At this
time, for example, it is not appropriate to be choosing the color of the
carpet. However, keep in mind that my wife likes blue.
Also, do not worry at this time about acquiring the resources to build
the house itself. Your first priority is to develop detailed plans and
specifications. Once I approve these plans, however, I would expect the
house to be under roof within 48 hours.
While you are designing this house specifically for me, keep in mind that
sooner or later I will have to sell it to someone else. It therefore
should have appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers. Please make
sure before you finalize the plans that there is a consensus of the
population in my area that they like the features this house has.
I advise you to run up and look at my neighbor's house he constructed
last year. We like it a great deal. It has many features that we would
also like in our new home, particularly the 75-foot swimming pool. With
careful engineering, I believe that you can design this into our new
house without impacting the final cost.
Please prepare a complete set of blueprints. It is not necessary at this
time to do the real design, since they will be used only for construction
bids. Be advised, however, that you will be held accountable for any
increase of construction costs as a result of later design changes.
You must be thrilled to be working on as an interesting project as this!
To be able to use the latest techniques and materials and to be given
such freedom in your designs is something that can't happen very often.
Contact me as soon as possible with your complete ideas and plans.
PS: My wife has just told me that she disagrees with many of the
instructions I've given you in this letter. As architect, it is your
responsibility to resolve these differences. I have tried in the
past and have been unable to accomplish this. If you can't handle
this responsibility, I will have to find another architect.
PPS: Perhaps what I need is not a house at all, but a travel trailer.
Please advise me as soon as possible if this is the case.
haha!
From http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/database/oracle9i/ index.html?content.html
The Unbreakable Database Can't break it. Can't break in. Oracle9i Database won't go down if your server fails and won't go down if your site fails. What's more, Oracle holds 14 international security evaluations. IBM DB2 has none. Microsoft SQL Server has only one.
If you *can* break it, which clearly you can, their marketing campaign is untrue. Saying "read the fine print" is making excuses for typical marketingese (or, more likely, Ellisonese). If they still try to say that 9i is "unbreakable," they'll be a laughingstock.
Why do we call them "buildings" anyway, after we're done building them? Shouldn't they be called "builts"?

Clinton may have been a liar, but at least he could eat a pretzel without bashing his face on a chair on his way to the floor. Why do I have this feeling it's far from the first time W's face has hit the ground?
you stated the obvious. congratulations. now who modded this up?

fp! props to billy, david, jp, steve, and brian!
w00t!
Thats not very interesting.
Look here.
The reviews of the P4 say should happen under these conditions.

Beware at 0 degrees Kelvin the whole thing may be become supermagnetic. The cooling device may float of the unit.
Are these people implying that you can just go out and buy liquid nitrogen? Or that it is easy to create? Yikes! Where can I get some?
Everything is mainstream now.
