I had a job once doing programming and technical development of a device that allowed remote signatures.
It used an overhead scanner and a plotter, in an electronically sealed box. Neither end could have the box opened during the transaction to prevent swapping of papers, and the stream was encrypted between 'em.
It was legal as it met the requirements for a person actually signing a piece of paper in person.

...and now we have to hear Taco's stupid-assed comment, "Ok guys, we bought
this company that seems to be doing ok and we want to drive it into the ground as
fast as possible. Suggestions?"
Hey Taco/Slashdot - get with it, huh? There's more to life than Linux, gadgets and Star Wars.
They said they are considering switching from Linux to Solaris. Obviously, since there is no MIPS port of Solaris, they will have to make one first.
How is this driving Cobalt into the ground? Last time I checked, they weren't doing all that well... Their stuff is of limited use. Good for what it's designed for - but very niche.
Yeah, that article was pretty cool. I'd like to see more like that, actually - going into depth about the Sparc architecture, especially on the new UltraSPARC III (and future chips).
From this article amongst others, we see about Sun's upcoming StarCat machine, designed to replace the E10K:
In the spring, Sun will unveil "StarCat," a successor to the current E10000. It
will accommodate as many as 105 CPUs in a number-crunching configuration
and 74 CPUs in a configuration for large businesses, Shoemaker said. And using
a technology called "coherent memory architecture," Sun will be able to joint four
such systems to act as a single computer sharing the same memory and
operating system."

Kitty Dukakis did, when she fell off the wagon... Hehehhe. :)

Remote tele-signatures!
Perhaps you should cut back on tokin' then you'd remember! ;>
Actually, it's not.
Dennis Leary is ahead of his time... :)
Yes, that's from the Breakfast Club - so sue me. :)
I've installed Red Hat 6.2 quite successfully on SparcStation 20 machines and it's worked very well.
Mostly for older, legacy boxen, but still...
If Red Hat doesn't wish to support us, then to hell with them!
Time to change distributions... After all, Red Hat isn't the only one out there.
It's all about petitions to government officials... E-The-People
You can also send faxes as well as letters... Something more visible than an Email.
The Andover boys (bendover?) have their collective heads too far up the Linux ass to see the rest of the world.

They must've been scanning their Radio Shack catalogs late at night when they thought no one was looking!
Now go run along and be a good little slashbot.
But Hemos doesn't know a nine iron from big iron! Hehehehe. :)
Do you?

Linux market share means ZERO if it doesn't do what it's supposed to.
PROVE MY POINT!
But humor me here. How long has Linux been out and "developing" now?
Let's say I'm a big mover-and-shaker in the dot-com world and need a scalable, reliable, bullet proof solution NOW?
I thought so.
I submitted that very same article and it was rejected.
Yes, but if the OS doesn't support those CPUs and RAM effectively and efficiently then it's kind of stupid... ;>
