Reminds me of Sun's old moniker "The network is the computer". Makes me wonder if Sun bought out a clothing manufacturer.. "We put the 'Sun' in 'Alfred Sung'..."
Hm, that's interesting but as a node in a mosix or beowulf cluster one doesn't need audio, firewire, usb or 3d video (I'd go another step and say "drop all onboard video and use a console port") Once all that extra real estate is freed up, another CPU might fit in well without all the costs associated with the extraneous crud I mention above. Not that I don't think firewire etc is nice, I do, but on a cluster its just more circuits to potentially fail.
As nice as these small units are, I'd like to see some wee machines built that stick in dual processors and a couple of 10/100/1000 NICs. No fancy 3D video, no firewire. Just beef to cluster together.

Thank you, postel, watching you from afar..

Again they copy Apple.

More on Longhorn

· Score: 2, Interesting
Ideally, Longhorn will "fundamentally integrate" audio, video and images in a "visually stunning" manner, much like the Mac's OS X
Microsoft should pay Apple a huge chunk of change for all the human interface studies they've just copied over the years.
A cleaned up 'strings' of the binary along with MD5 hashes of the binaries off the CD will be stored on slashdot for all to see. The supplier will not be able to deny anything, especially if those hashes match the hash generated from the binaries available via public sources.
Then let RMS know so he can don his suit with the big "S" and cape..:)
The story is indeed a repeat but I was thinking of how cool it would be to get the goaste.cx guy's backside transplanted on someone face. Wee slits for eyes, that revolting, gaping maw...
Oh well, don't smoke my karma too badly. After all, the story is a repeat.;)
George "Adolph" Bush needs all the money he can muster for his pet War on Terrorism and to train the jackbooted brownshirts that march in the Homeland Security office.
Laptop LCDs generally refresh around 70-75 hz (if memory serves) and they have high latency to clear pixels. That negates any chance of using stereoscopic LCD shutter glasses.

So, you want to screw a retarded doll?
When I want that I just put a blonde wig on the doll

If Moore's law keeps on going strong, I should be able to have rudimentary AI in my RealDoll by 2012 thanks to innovations like this!

On Windows box I honestly don't know. If you could FTP (in binary mode!) to a *NIX box, you could just "md5 filename"
Sorry, my Windows skills are limited to playing games.
Personally, I'd resubmit the story; they repeat stories that ran just a day before, your odds of getting approved are pretty good, eh?

Nowhere on that list do I see a Cray supercomputer c'mon SciAm, it's the dot-com boom! Everyone has millions to throw around!
err.. oh.. scratch that.
My apologies on that. Rotten yesterday and I took it out on a stranger.
Religious beliefs? If they could prove any facet of any religion with hard facts then I'd have some.
When I first read the headlines I imagined that weenie from the teleco ads using VoIP to ask "Can you hear me now?"
I want Ron Jeremy's face!He seems to get the chicks, I assume it's just because of his darn good facial features!
remember that there is no broadband Net access up there, and therefore no access to pr0n
Will they let me bring my RealDoll up?
You can't take 1000 people there at $10000 a head. NASA would need to find, say, 10 people willing to pay $1000000, and they're a much more rare.
If they'll take a cheque from me and promise not to try cashing it until after I land, can I go?
George "Adolph" Bush needs all the money he can muster for his pet War on Terrorism and to train the jackbooted brownshirts that march in the Homeland Security office.
Yeah, that and he'd know how to spell editing!
yeah yeah, spelling flames.

Fuck your christian mythological delusions.
Any defense lawyer worth his weight in golfballs would demand proof that the screenshot was not doctored with a graphics editting program.
Ah, those early lab experiments back in school....
"school" ended ~19 years ago for me.
Shit I'm old!
That's 120Hz. Flash on positive swing, flash on negative.
Really? I could swear it was 60.. interesting.
Won't work.
