  1. Re:Fun stuff to know: power usage on Birth Of A Terascale Baby · · Score: 1
    "Did you know that computers like this use alot of power? Like alot alot?! "

    Umm, "a lot" is two words. ;>

  2. Clustering? on Birth Of A Terascale Baby · · Score: 1
    Speaking of clustering (no, not Beowulf) check out Sun's new FREE clustering software (more precisely a batch-processing system) called Grid Engine.

    Hey, it's free, works with Solaris/SPARC - what's not to like, if you can use it?

    Between this box and the previous 3D display, we should be able to view high-framerate, fully 3D porn like never before!

    Now, where do we sign?

  5. Xshipwars? on Parsec LAN-Test Released · · Score: 1
    I don't know, maybe it's just me - but I think Xshipwars totally kicks its ass...

    XShipWars is a highly customizable and massivly multiplayer space gamming system designed for play entirly over the Internet...

  6. Re:Careful with that wording... on H-1B Visas Increased In 96-To-1 Vote · · Score: 2

    Right, that's immigrants - but what about people only here on a temporary visa?

  7. Correct on Slashback: Quakery, Lifespans, Barcodes · · Score: 1
    Yep, that's correct - one of a few ways to say it, but correct translation for what you entered.

    I suspect Babelfish might have issues with contractions like "can't."

  8. Correct Babelfish Linking on Slashback: Quakery, Lifespans, Barcodes · · Score: 1
    You should post your Babelfish links like this.

    Right to the story, correctly translated and without all the fluff around it like ads.

    Yep - I suspect he whipped up a quick HTML page and ran it through... Heh.

    "Oder, wenn Sie nicht Deutsch kann, bitte Babelfish benutzen."

    It should read, "Oder, wenn Sie Deutsch nicht sprechen koennen, bitte benutzt Babelfish" or similar.

  12. Apple Quicktime Streaming Server on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1
    But there's nothing really running on this machine. For some lame-assed reason, the load average just reads very high. Right now, it's swinging from 2.65 to 4.99!

    Without really looking into it in any detail, I would suspect that a) their algorithm for calculating load sucks rocks and b) people might be connecting to the stream every now and then. (It's a dev box at the moment - no real load yet)

    You would be correct, Tao - others, please READ my post. Thank you.

  14. Interesting "uname" and Login Output on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 2
    From that same box I mentioned earlier, a somewhat interesting "uname" output:

  15. Re:Whither Aqua? on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1
    I'm not so sure the professionals would even use the graphite colored one - considering all the heat it's gotten.

    I don't know, but I like it. It's... Cute.

  16. MacOS X on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 3
    I've been using MacOS X Server here in the office, and I gotta say, it's kinda cool. It's a full on Unix setup, but it just kind of feels like a Mac...

    Bash is the default shell, and it comes with vi - but not a terribly huge selection of other goodies. Apache is there, as well.

    It's proven to be very stable, as the machine has been up for AGES:

    bash-2.02$ uptime
    5:45PM up 78 days, 4:16, 3 users, load averages: 2.55, 3.54, 3.63

  17. Whither Aqua? on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 3
    Seems strange that the X window manager fans out there haven't made a Graphite theme yet - only the Aqua one... Or even created new ones.

    This isn't a gripe, just an observation. I happen to use the Aqua theme myself, and the blue is getting old... :)

    The article says it best...

    "Mr. Diamond called it "laughable" that the Justice Department, while struggling to assure the public that Carnivore does not intrude on individuals' privacy, could not protect the privacy of review-team members."
