Some people just think that money still grows on trees. I work for a local government who is migrating to VMWare for some of our core servers. But we have many other servers that could be virtualized with HA using this, but for a fraction of the cost.
For the first time i aint even the slightest bit interested in what they may come up with.
I totally agree. I know it's still early, (by a few years) but I have become so bored with all things Microsoft that I can barely stand it. Luckily I have the many flavors of Linux to keep things exciting.
More people would try it out, then become addicted and send Sony their $10/$15 every month.
Or they would be bored in 3 days and never play again. I think they are looking for a quick profit off the top to pay for the development and hardware. (At least some of it) I know a few Beta testers that think the game sucked and won't be buying it. I, on the other hand, have the bug and will be getting my copy today.
Speaking of being biased or having an edge, I'm curious if the top500 takes into account processors with multiple cores in one package? I believe the Power4 has two cores. Would that be one processor or two? ASCI-W uses the Power3 (I believe) so switching to the Power4 would theoretically double the performance without increasing the processor count.
Does the SX-6i fit into that category also or are vector procs not really built the same way?
I agree. I've never heard that prespective before. I could believe that as a plot twist, and would find it very interesting.
Great, one more reason to sleep until it is released. At least I have LOTR to look forward to before then.:)
Nice article. Funny even, in parts. but. . .

This quote struck me kinda funny:
Distributed computing is about getting components and systems to interoperate to create something bigger, independent of the physical machines the parts are hosted on. As each computer reaches out to connect to another to create something bigger, the individual machine becomes less noticeable. It becomes just one of thousands, then millions, then billions of machines in a world of massive information flows to create what we call . . .
THE BORG? Sorry, but that's the first thing that came to my mind.
... LAST reboot 5000 hours ago and still no sign of a problem.
Huh? 5000 hrs? You might want to install a few(and I use that term loosely) security patches. Good NT Admin never have that long of up times because they keep their boxen updated with the latest Microsoft patches. And most everyone knows that when when you patch NT that 99.999% of the time you have to REBOOT!!:)
They ARE saving money by buying a hacked card. Hacked cards give you PPV movies, Pr0n channels, Football games, etc. Channels that can cost upwards of 35-50 bucks for just one event, for one day, like a boxing match. And of course Local channels from East Coast or West Coast time zones that you can't get even if you are paying.
Either way, I'm sure most hackers just love a good challenge.
Yeah, I read it that way also. But then again, I tend to read into stuff alot.:)
It would make since to me, for them to make a closed-source type of program, similar to wine, and use that to run there apps with. That way once office works, it would work for other apps with little work.
Of course they would probably add something to the ported apps so that ONLY the apps that they want ported, will work. That would keep people from using it to port their own apps which would take away from Windows.
Confused enough? I am.
But, this could all be a big joke anyway.:)
>> Can you name any other Linux distributions that have a test cycle or even a release cycle that lasts as long as Debian?
Length of test cycle IMHO does'nt mean the longer, the better/safer/more reliable. Some distributions have more resources available to them for testing and hence can spit out a reliable version faster. If I put out a distro it would be one about every other decade, but then again I'm also lazy.:)
Same here with my Rage 128. Had to tweak the module load sequence in XF86Config to get it just right. But I don't remember any black screens since Suse came out with their driver.
Just out of curiosity, did you install using the updated RH6.1 boot disk and update disk. Booting off the CD or using the boot disk that came with the CD has some bugs. One of them I remember deals with your Lilo problem.
Check below for the updated disks. http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA1999045-0 1.html
Ahhh, memories. I just gave away my A2000HD this year to a friend of mine that still uses multiple Amigas. I grew up on C= equipment. Vic-20, C=64, A500, A2000. I was very much into the Amiga scene even doing some consulting work for a local copy shop and technical college.
It's for that very reason that I would love to see the AmigaOS Open Sourced. To finally see the insides of the computer platform that fueled my interest in computers which still burns today.
Why let an old dog wither away and die locked behind a closed source door. Let'em out to run free while he's still got alittle breath left in him.
Well, IMHO, I think that one of the reasons that the general populace seems to have lost interest in space is directly related to movies/television. Our technology in these fields has risen to the point that the average person is flooded with (spacecraft, aliens, other worlds, "insert future tech. here") almost on a daily basis and they can't tell what's real or what's Memorex.
Ex. How many people thought when they found the Titanic (for real) that it had already been discovered a few years before in that show "Raising the Titanic"?
Basically the general public (at least the soon to be voting public) , IMO, is thinking "Has'nt that already been done/discovered?" They are not real concerned with "IF we can make it to Mars" but "When". Because they've seen it hundreds of times at the movies.
I see a redundant statement in many of the posts here and it brings me to a question.
I realize that the "Learing time" involved in a system of this type seems to be pretty long, from what I've read. But how difficult would it be to take what has been learned and simply, back it up, and reinstall it on another system? Like once the vocabulary has been built, mass producing the resulting system?
Is that possible, or do I need another cup of coffee to wake up?

Does anyone else find it interesting that STARGATE.COM and PYRAMID.COM were registered number 25 and 29 respectively?
Just goes to show you that conspiracies can be found everywhere if you look hard enough.
The launch has been scrubbed for today 20070319.

Let me get this right, this machine is hosting a PRO-Windows XX OS webpage? And it's running Linux?
Say it ain't so. hehe
Nice little stats page. Any idea what generates it?
Exactly.
Its free music Whack-A-Mole.
That has to be one of the funniest descriptions of this whole fiasco that I've heard yet. Hilarious.
Yes. Kinda. :)
One of the many ways is with Internet Connection Sharing, which is build into all later versions of Windows.
I agree. That's like saying "we need to hurry up this murder case because the country is in an economic downturn."
Due process is Due process. The state of the economy should not effect it.

-- In spite of that, you can't deny the ratings, and you can't deny Vince's marketing genius --
This was just the first of many games, let's wait and see if the ratings hold up. IMHO, I don't see it happening.
