  1. Re:Heavy premiums for AMD64 support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Released · · Score: 1

    http://search.gmane.org/search.php?query=AMD64&gro up=gmane.linux.redhat.rhl.devel

  2. Re:Shots? on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Released · · Score: 1

    It looks just like RHL 9.

  3. Re:Over the air only? on Broadcast Flag All But Approved · · Score: 1

    These kind of restrictions already exist for sat and cable.

    These days, DVI uses HDCP encryption between the box and the TV.

  4. Re:seti@home not listed on Big Mac Benchmark Drops to 7.4 TFlops · · Score: 1

    So why don't they run linpack on SETI@Home and submit a result? Hint: It wouldn't work...

  5. Re:Looking forwards to IPv4/IPv6 NAT... on Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins · · Score: 1

    NAT only goes away completely after the switch to IPv6 is complete.

  6. Re:So will the cost of a dedicated IP addr go down on Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins · · Score: 1

    An IPv4 address costs less than $1/year; large ISPs pay around $0.30/year/address.

  7. Re:next version of Redhat won't be free on Upcoming SuSE 9.0 Professional Reviewed · · Score: 1

    RHEL isn't free, but Fedora Core (the successor to Red Hat 9) is still free.

  8. Re:Why did they pick 128? on Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins · · Score: 3, Informative

    The reason is that 64 bits are used for the network part and the remaining 64 bits -- automatically derived from the interface MAC address -- comprise the host part. This allows stateless autoconfiguration, which makes IPv6 networks easier to administer.

  9. Re:Moore's Law applied on Big Mac Benchmark Drops to 7.4 TFlops · · Score: 1

    There are several brand-new Intel clusters on the latest Top 500 list.

  10. Re:Efficiency: switch topology? on Big Mac Benchmark Drops to 7.4 TFlops · · Score: 1

    They're using 96-port switches.

  11. Re:Use of Speex? on Skype Vs. SIPphone - VoIP Compared · · Score: 1

    I read (maybe in Pulver's blog) that Skype is using iLBC.

  12. Re:Oh yeah.... on Microsoft Dismisses Apple's iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    They would be quite happy to have it in two formats. WMA and AAC, with Fairplay, but Apple just won't share.

    What exactly does this mean? Is Apple preventing record labels from also licensing their music to other online services?

    The solution to your problem is simple: license your music to iTMS (in AAC format) and to Napster (in WMA format) and all the customers will be happy.

  13. Re:This doesn't sound right. on Mac OS X Panther 10.3 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    You don't need to talk to a sales rep; Apple has a very informative Web site.

  14. Re:Can ICANN and Commerce pull the registry? on Verisign Gets Out of the Registrar Biz, Keeps .com Registry · · Score: 1

    Theoretically, yes. But in reality both VeriSign and the US government are owned by the same people, so it's unlikely.

  15. Re:DIY multi-core on AMD to debut multi-core CPUs in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Too bad the common person can't actually manufacture the chip after designing it.

  16. BitTorrent has logs on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    BitTorrent trackers keep logs of all downloads, just like Web servers do.

  17. How it works on IBM Introduces Petabyte-Capacity 'Storage Tank' · · Score: 1

    If you're curious about how Storage Tank works, check out the paper from the IBM Ssstems Journal.

  18. Re:He is correct regarding proprietary formats on Michael Robertson Talks VoIP With Voxilla · · Score: 1

    One cool idea I have for these units would be an optional expansion slot within which you could place some sort of crypto accelerator card.

    At 64Kbps, you ought to be able to do the crypto in software. Crypto is cheap enough these days that it should be in every network product.

  19. Re:17.6 TFLOPS is Rpeak, not Rmax! on More on Virginia Tech G5 Cluster: 17.6 Tflops · · Score: 1

    I would imagine they benchmark a supercomputer once and then devote the rest of its life to real work.

  20. Re:Complete shared memory emulation on What Will Be in Linux 2.7? · · Score: 1

    That's called Xen; it was on /. last week.

  21. Re:Mad Hatter copyrighted on Mad Hatter Preview - Sun Java Desktop System Demo · · Score: 1

    Trademarks usually don't matter for code names.

  22. Re:What about copy-paste on Will Vanderpool Make Linux More Popular? · · Score: 1

    Sharing files between OSes isn't trivial either.

  23. Re:A Chance in a Lifetime for Open-Source Communit on Will Vanderpool Make Linux More Popular? · · Score: 1

    There are already several open source VMMs, see Xen and plex86.

    What makes you think Intel isn't already done designing Vanderpool? If they're not, what makes you think Intel wants/needs feedback from the open source community?

    What makes you think someone who writes a VMM could become as famous as Linus? Look how few people use VMware...

  24. Re:Why dont they put it on the HDD?!? on IBM Introduces 'Air Bags' For Laptop Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it's because IBM doesn't make hard drives.

  25. Re:Vanderpool is not multicore on Will Vanderpool Make Linux More Popular? · · Score: 1

    Well, IBM mainframes cost millions of dollars and Intel computers cost less than $1000 these days, so it takes time for things to trickle down.
