Perhaps another rung for the Open Source model of software
development
Uhh... no.
It's is a glowing report
for this particular open source project but that brush
shouldn't be used to paint all open source. That will just lull open
source developers into a false sense of euphoric contentment. Code
quality didn't get this far by having a fixed target, that target
should be a carrot on a stick that will never quite be reached.
Well, in fairness to NUMA it allows a shared memory pool and single system image. These fancy SGI Linux machines with loads of CPUs running a single system image wouldn't exist without NUMA.
NUMA memory may be slower than RAM but it's far faster for interprocessor communications and shared RAM than is a beowulf cluster (which doesn't do shared RAM afaik)
I've had an idea for a few years I'm getting ready to set up:
Have a board in which people move their pieces (say.. a hat, train, etc) around a board with street names. Let the users buy the squares (or "properties") and build houses and hotels on them. If another user lands on the property then the owner can charge rent.
Ohh... this just popped into my head, have a corner square labelled "GO" and give each user $200 when they pass it.
I'm going to be a fucking millionaire over this one!
The second and third Matrix releases weren't the best in the effects department. I am blown away that Hulk was even considered.
Anyhow, the Oscars are moot. The whole academy is nothing more than a mutual-admiration society that pats each other on the back all day. They're trying to sell you tickets and DVDs, remember?
Open sourcing of the code is needed for public confidense if nothing else.
Or at least a "dumbing down" of the system so Ma & Pa Kettle can understand it. Here in.ca we have paper votes, you mark an X in a circle next to the candidates name and you put it in the box. Representatives from all parties in that riding are there to witness the count after and, as a voter, I can stick around to witness the count myself (though I never have).
I'm not an American so pardon my ignorance: are these voting machines in states/counties with political leanings which normally wouldn't support Bush? Fuel my conspiracy theories.
from the article: "The core of our American democracy is the
right to vote," Shelley said. "Implicit in that right is the notion
that that vote be private, that vote be secure, and that vote be
counted as it was intended when it was cast by the
voter."
In my thinking this should mean the source code
should be opened to the public to ensure continued trust in the system. "Trust us, we're the government" doesn't carry any weight these days.
I saw a couple of episodes. They go something like this:
Hero: Howdy, miss. What's th' problem?
Damsel: That evil Mr. Villian tied me to the railway tracks until my Pa gave 'im the deed to our ranch!
Hero: Why that good-fer-nuttin.. let me get my laser blaster from my space ship and tan his flea-bitten hide!
then you and your friend could each store half of each mp3 and exchange them back and forth so you never actually hold the entire mp3.
At what point will the courts decide that a collection of bits is the property of another? 100 bytes of an MP3? 1K? 10K? Will the MD5 or SHA1 hash of a file become the property of the copyright holder? It's a very slippery slope.
Anyhow, this product can be used to distribute legal files as well (although I'd be the last person to say that'd be its main use:)) Sending out lawsuits to people just because the run the client wouldn't work. One could say "I share pictures of my nieces and nephews, Your Honour." leaving the onus on the RIAA/MPAA.
If A gives a file to B, but it actually goes through C, D, and E, then if it is determines that the content is infringing, then C, D, and E are all responsible too
Nonsense. That's the skewed reasoning the RIAA has been using to go after the ISPs. What you're proposing is to "shoot the messenger" where the messenger is the computer passing packets and not holding the entire file
Well, I just installed it at home (thanks, VNC!) and did a search for "mp3" assuming that would generate a lot of hits but haven't seen anything happen. The docs are sparse, to say the least. "Is this thing on?"
What do to? Well, you're a casualty of corporate sleaze and
politics. Read
The Art Of
War, get back on the horse and don't let yourself become a victim
again.
That sounds cold, I know, but what else can you do?
Dwelling on the issue won't pay the rent.

I want to know what an anti-fart smells like and how anti-splatterbum will look in the bowl.
The July issue of Modern Gerbiler was pretty good.
Sorry, your parents have prior art.

I'll be the sole vote for WindowMaker. Small, fast, compatible with KDE & Gnome etc..
I _want_ to pay my buck for the right stuff
And therein lies the key: pay for what you think is "the right stuff", not what the movie industry says you should see.

Obviously Steve Ratcliffe works for SCO and new in advance when they'd release the new kernel of their OS.
I saw in the logfile that it was already attempting that. Also to katcher.2y.net
yeah, a peer address is what I'm looking for now.. :) As for ports, it looks like it uses port 4900 by default.

How did the plywood fare after hitting Mach 1?
[...] rejecting the trade group's claims that Verizon was responsible for downloaded music because such data files traverse its network.
Well, it appears the RIAA will have to focus on a different network layer: they'll start suing the cat-5 and fiber optic manufacturers..
