Well, there's that face in the rock that might be more interesting that what's going on offscrean for one thing.... You made some great points but that wasn't one of them.
Actually, it's kinda a pleasant surprise to see a highly dynamic php site still up when the norm at this point is a refused connection or the endearing classic 'mysql cannot open any more connections' error.
Dogster's developers/hoster get's a gold star for planning ahead!
I'll give them credit that they at least did have a legend. Most simulation graphics for PR aren't even that helpful. In this case my main complaint is that they show a 2D slice of what looks like projected velocity vectors colored by velocity magnitude but this is obviuosly a 3D problem so, while it's a start, there's nothing there to tell you how much heat the air picked up or how much recirculation is going on.... etc.
Look at all that red around the CPU. Boy, that sucker must be running hot....errr, fast... err...
Say, is that just a nice reciculation that memory has going for it or what? Show us some streamlines or something so that you can see what's really going on.
Yup, and there was something for VMS that goes
way back too. You could talk to as many peple as you could fit on your vt220's screen (about 5 as I recall) simultaneously and see the characters as they were typed.
I believe it was call phone... yup, here's a link Looks like it's from 1989 so I'm guessing talk was around before that.
As someone who oversees a few websites, I can tell you that there is plenty to do already without having to worry about some hacker breaking in to my system.
Well, given this statement you better hope it's someone like Lamo who breaks in and not someone who's just going to take the data and run.
I've been thinking about RAID in my home box lately too. I like spending more for a nice system but not to the extreme 'god box' levels that some do. For example, I went with a dual athlon 2000 setup recently for only about $800 (mb+2cpu+mem+ps) but while I'm very happy with this setup I feel like I've shorted myself on the hard drive setup.
The plan I've been mulling about is to have SATA RAID 0 with two 60 Gig drives and then a 120 Gig drive that I rsync up with nightly so that I have a relatively easy way of recovering things if they fail. This is quite a bit more money than the single drive I have now but it seams reasonable compared to going SCSI or 10Krpm or a 4 drive setup with a card that can handle it.
Like I said, I'm just mulling it over and this is the perfect place to put it out for comment so... what do you think? Has anybody else tried this and been happy with the results?
It's not a waste of time. You need to make your Linux distro's cooperate just well enough to make them possible and worthwhile to use, but not well enough that people want to keep their Windows around in the long run.
No, gotta disagree there. It's unclassy. Especially where they started in on the Iraq and France bashing by association. I know it's the in thing now to bag on "those French cowards" but it's still just mindless follow-the-hurd humor (unclassy). I do have a sense of humor but I don't like to have to turn my brain completely off in order to exersize it. The sign might be funny if if there was anything that could tie the two (IBM/Linux/SCO and France/Iraq) concepts together.
Is it just me or is this analogy fundamentally flawed if you actually know the physics? Yes, a lever makes it take less force to move a given mass but it still takes the same amount of effort for that mass to obtain a given momentum.
In physics, a lever rotating around a fulcrum magnifies the force applied. Therefore, before starting to push his technology, the wise evangelist looks for leverage.
In technical evangelism, the mass being accelerated is platform support. Levers are people, companies, products, or channels of communication that allow you to accelerate the mass of support with less effort. Any effort you save working one lever, can be invested in working another. âoeLeverageâ is one of the key concepts of technical evangelism.
Also frightening, this deal gives AOL seven years to use IE royalty free...
I find this to be the most interesting and ironic thing about the settlement. Wasn't the big complaint that MS undercut NS by bundling IE into things for free? Now AOL get's that priveledge as part of the settlement...

I don't see any sane way to distinguish between "good" signers and "bad" signers.
Well, duh... you check to see if the evil bit is set. I thought we had that all figured out now.

That would be the writ of godamus. It's filed by the pope.
Well, at least yawning.

Yeah, that was the point. :)

Whoever made this gawdawful graphic should take a gander at this fine paper entitled 14 ways to say nothing with scientific visualization.
Perhaps, but it'll only be affordable if we outsource the engineering to India and the manufacturing to Taiwan.

...They can get Trilian right this time. The TV bimbo-fied character was terrible.
Thanks Dan! Your legacy lives on...
Because geeks know their Douglas Adams and don't want to be so amazingly primative as to still think that digital watches are a neat idea..
Ummm.... what does fortran have to do with any of this?
Yes, makes that 'touch wood' reference take on a whole new meaning....
Considering this note just down the index from there. Yeah, I guess so. I'm curious what Bruce (maybe) did to start off the exchange.
Well, given this statement you better hope it's someone like Lamo who breaks in and not someone who's just going to take the data and run.
But maybe you should read this first.

Couldn't at least the fsck be avoided with a journalling file system?
Accept that we all know that the real question/answer for the computer on that spaceship was:
Q: Why does the human prefere to drink dried leaves boiled in water?
A: Because he's a stupid monkey and don't know any better!
