It could very well be a bug or misdesign in ZA and its easier for them to blame it on Microsoft? Come on.. Win9x sucked ass, MS Coorp policy sucks too... but some of the brightest people work on WinNT+

United States Patent N 5,132,992 Audio and video transmission and receiving system: A system of distributing video and/or audio information employs digital signal processing to achieve high rates of data compression. The compressed and encoded audio and/or video information is sent over standard telephone, cable or satellite broadcast channels to a receiver specified by a subscriber of the service, preferably in less than real time, for later playback and optional recording on standard audio and/or video tape.
The patents are very broad and mostly cover the transmission of the content, not the format of the content.
Doh! 60 for ISDN + 1.5MBit fastpath DSL + flat High BW gets cheaper and cheaper in germany while its getting capped in the states! Guess we're just behind a few years and we'll get capped at 200kbit soon:p

Yes! Some pay per bandwith used, and even if its flat, 100 PC's on a corporate network could generate some neat network traffic too.
I think my UD client downloads ~600k for each Work Unit..
Thats not much, but adds up..
Not quite sure about the counting mechanism, but you can tell them your UD Username/Password and the Easynews Username and it tells you how many uncredited CPU days you have and how many gigs you get.
It will then reduce your download counter by exactly 1 gig.
AFAIK if you run 60 mins with 50% CPU going to UD you'd get 30 mins CPU time credited to your account.
In that case, yes they would both be worth the same:))
ps.: I'm not getting paid by them, but you really should try their service! The webinterface is blazingly fast, they carry all binary groups and I download with 230k/sec from them (thats all my line gives me). !AND! they have a beta GLOBAL search now!
I've tried several News Providers and they all lacked the features I appreciate with EN.
No!
Its pretty common knowledge that running IDLE Tasks consume nearly no CPU time.
Of course the overall performance will be SLIGHTLY lower because of context switching and the time it takes for the idle process to finish its time slice (no it wont preempt after 1 op or something - will do a few usecs of processing till the OS notices something else has to be done)...
The real question, which hasnt been answered on that article is how much network bandwith does it consume?
I'm running folding@home on a few machineshere but never really had the time to check how much of our network bandwith its taking away...
Hopefully not that much.. slows down the pr0n downloads =)
/wave
ps.: awake for 32 hours, this posting might not make sense at all;)

Nah, real EQ hackers use a passive pc on a hub, and the network plug connected to the pc doesnt contain the wires for sending stuff ;)

Come on
Theres no 100% need to seperate them phyically, just use two daemons for the two different interfaces.

What about this thing?
What else would you need to port a kernel to it? It descibes about everything you want to know about the UltraSparc
What it does:
;)
It closes the hole that Win9x opened.
Download
GSM operators in Europe use 900Mhz (and 1800Mhz) for their Service.
USB2: 480 MBit/s -> 60 Megabyte/sec
Firewire: 400 MBit/s -> 50 Megabytes/sec
which is still a lot faster than 100mbit cards

CommuniGate Pro is the best Email Svr I'Ve ever used.
Its easy to configure, very feature rich, performant and features cluster config.
The only problem is it costs you an arm an a leg for the amout of users you have.
I'm running it with only a couple of hundred users using mostly IMAP but I never had any problems with it.
