I'm not positive, but I think the idea is to have one set of data to redundent servers. So if Server A goes *poof* then Server B can continue useing the same data and keep going.
I believe large systems sepererate the data to a whole seperate server and have the processing done on redundent machines.
I.E. You connect to the website, depending on load you're passed to one of multiple webservers, the webservers connect to an internal fileserver for pages and then pass it on to you. So if one of the webservers goes down, they others can keep going without any loss of content.
Tho in large systems they probably also have redundent data servers..
I'm guessing he's looking for a way to do this on the small scale.
...something about Distributed Computing pops up but since I don't have the skills myself I feel it's important to pollenate the minds of as many people as I can. I might just get lucky.;)
But anyways:
What is needed isn't multiple clints for each project, but one client which can take plugin's for any project that's out there.
Say you can't decide between Seti and Folding @Home projects, why not divide up the work units? For every 1 Folding unit you could to 3 smaller Seti units. That way you can help every group that you want. And if one group has problems you don't wait for days to get a new unit, you can just start on another group.
I'm just not sure how pretty screensavers would turn out with a plug-in method.:)
I agree that licenses should be able to be changed with out consulting the user first, but what about the GPL?
From what (little) I've read they usually state a line much like: GPL 2.0 or Above.
Which means (as I understand it) that if RMS decides that you're just plain not allowed to use GPL code if you don't believe his *One True Way* world view in a later version - technically you're screwed.
Mind you, I really don't think that -beyond a holy uproar on Slashdot- anyone will really care if such a change was put in place. But it's interesting...
I'm not too knowledgeable with the different RJ connectors but how about something that has like 8 wires though it one being positive and the others being known values of Volts, Watts, Amps negitive. (I always had problems with these terms in physics.)
So you'd have one singular connector and the device you'd plug into could choose which value it wanted depending on what contact was used.
From her description, it seems that she's not really "seeing" the sound... at least not with her real eyes... seems more like a third, inner eye which gets the colour... so her eyesight doesn't change anything
I wonder if this could be realated to a stereo with a VU meter... you hear the sound with the speakers, but you also "hear" the music with your eyes on the VU meter...
The Altair was the first home computer. You had to assemble it yourself (as in, from what I understand, put each chip on the board. Tho I think traces where already laid out for you) and even then there was no monitor, no keyboard, just a CPU, RAM, switches and lights on the front.
You'd set 8 bits (Up, Down, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up) and then flip another switch to store it in memory. Repeat as required.
People would do this for *pages* of code... with the only result being the lights flashing.
We don't realise how lucky we are.:) (and I don't even code!)

Since Linux already has a swap-file partition and there are opposing views on if it should be added to the file system for various reasons.
Why not have a partition strictly for the *Recycle Bin* (or whatever is deemed "worthy" for Linux). As I understand it it could solve a few issues such as it could be formatted to solve multiple version issues as well as restore location information and you have a fix disk space that would be used and you wouldn't have to worry about emptying the trash as it wouldn't help you any. The format could work much like the salvage command in Netware mentioned a few topics ago, never truly filling the drive as it just overwrites the oldest files first.
Anyways, enough babble from me... I don't know what I'm talking about.
Well if you're referring to selling digital-only works of art, you're probably not on the right sort of site...
Most here feel that code is just as much of a art as photography or anything else and specifially because it's digital (i.e. no real costs to perfect reproduction) strive to keep others from charging for it. (I.E. GPL, etc...)
Actually, you might not be so far off with the broswer bug... after my first visit to Photo.net I couldn't get images from *any* site, including the corporate intranet.... shut down IE completely and start it up again and I can even get the pic's from Photo.net....
That's never happened to me before...
I wonder if Photo.net does anything... *different*...:)
I "dabble" with my little digital camera at DeviantArt.com (http://wiwijumbo.deviantart.com) but they have also started a new service DAPrints (http://www.daprints.com) which allows you to sell your artwork (not just photos), anything from, if I remember correctly, a poster to a postcard.
I remember looking for something that would allow me to hook up a radio to my PC (and be controlled by it) but at the time there were no PCI devices and the USB one's were FM only.
Anyone know of a AM/FM addon that's not ISA? (Oh, and not having to use my soundcard's linein would be nice.)
Or would this new card be it? If it's as low cost as they say maybe having shortwave and God knows what else wouldn't be such a bad thing...
No I mean it... the above is neither Insightful, Informative or really that Interesting yet I want to mod it up for more people to see. (and I really can't say it's Underrated)
What do you do in such a situation?
I for one post a message so that such decisions are past to others.:-)
X11 has great performance. Unfortunately, few toolkits use it well. It works best when you think of it as a stream: you send asynchronous requests to the display server and it handles them, responding with asynchronous events. As soon as you make a request to the display server that requires a synchronous response, performance is gone.
I'm sorry, perhaps I don't quite understand this, but are you saying that if I click on a icon to select it (say highlighting it blue or something), that's something that X11 isn't good at?
Client/server is fundamental to the design of both Unix and X11. Try this: administer your parent's Windows or Mac machine from your home 100 miles away, as though you were sitting right there. Can't do it? Now try this: install Linux. Ssh in and type linuxconf. There's a reason why this works in Unix systems: clear separation of client from server.
Actually, Remote Assistance works wonderfully on WinXP.
If I remember correctly that's a mode that Sega put into Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2... you could "train" an AI and then fight that AI against your friends AI....
(Bad spelling is traditional on/., but "male/femail" is a bit much!)
When @Home was still around their larger mail servers were named femail."etc".home.com
I use to give that out instead of the so called "local" server cause there were generally less problems with it. About 1 in 5 understood the pun.

O.k... I'm done, you can go and ignore me now.
I remember seeing some sort of AC to DC power converters used in the small formfactors cases used by the Via C3 and what not...
What's the chance of useing one of those here to reduce the noise even further?

P.S. You have a MUCH nicer camera then me.
Um... is anyone able to get the photos from Photo.net? Everything pops up quickly BUT the actual photos. :)
:-)
DA may be mostly people goofing off (such as myself) as compared to Photo.net, but at least I can see them.
I "dabble" with my little digital camera at DeviantArt.com (http://wiwijumbo.deviantart.com) but they have also started a new service DAPrints (http://www.daprints.com) which allows you to sell your artwork (not just photos), anything from, if I remember correctly, a poster to a postcard.

Not that I'd bother with that with *my* shots.

If he wanted us to use the term "GNU" with a straight face, he could have chosen a better phrase then "GNU is Not Unix."
Whenever I can get one of my friends/co-workers/etc to even start talking about Linux, we always get to the GPL and the GNU.
"What's GNU stand for?"
"Mumblemumblemumble..."
"What?"
"GNU is Not Unix... Ya see it's a recursi..."
But it's to late, the eyes roll, the respect is lost, the subject is changed.
Someone needs to put a stop to RMS.
Um... Troll +1?

This is right on the line between the Slashdot-Troll and the Slashdot-Humans-Destroy-Everything-We're-Evil-And- Must-Be-Destroyed posts...
But I can't tell which...
"once you can have it on demand"
Just more proof that life isn't fair.
I really need to take up drinking....
Anyone make any sense out of that??
Personally, I feel you have it the wrong way around....
"Microsoft's UI may work well for many people, and it doesn't work well for some others."
But maybe that's just me....
If I remember correctly that's a mode that Sega put into Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2... you could "train" an AI and then fight that AI against your friends AI....
I think it has possibilites...
I've always thought that cursors should be in a vector format and then be scaled to whatever size the user wants.
:)
But then again... no one ever listens to me...
Um... shouldn't the price have gone down has manufacturing costs would/must have gone down?
