First, remember when OS/2 came out and compare it to the Windows offering at that point in time.
Now, the features of OS/2:
- a flexible object-oriented graphic user interface - the ability to multi-task applications and to allow multi-threading within applications - support for most DOS and Windows 3.1 software in addition to native OS/2 applications - WARP 4 includes in its basic package a voice type dictation facility that not only allows a user to navigate an OS/2 system using voice commands, but also allows dictation of text into documents--truly hands-free computing! - WARP 4 includes built-in support for JAVA. - OS/2 has included a web browser since version 3, and new browsers continue to be developed - The Mozila open source group offers an OS/2 version code named Warpzilla. Warpzilla is very modern, standards compliant, and very usable. Major bugs are addressed in a day or two and milestone builds are released regularly. Warpzilla grows stronger every day. - There is an OS/2 version of Adobe Acrobat which can be configured as a helper application with Netscape Navigator.

A group of college students reviewed Richochet's wireless network, with the following conclusions being made:
We presented the results of several experiments
performed to evaluate the performance of Metricom's Ricochet network.
We investigated the performance of the experimental deployment as part
of the Daedalus project, as well as the commercial service. Our main
conclusions and observations are summarized below.
TCP throughput is between 15 and 30 kb/s, across a wide range of
packet and socket buffer sizes. In the commercial service, peak
throughputs are observed for a packet size of 512 bytes and socket
buffer sizes of 4-8 KBytes.
TCP performance suffers from long idle periods caused by reverse
channel contention; large variations in round-trip time estimates
(between 250 and 5000 ms) greatly increase loss recovery times and
significantly degrade performance.
Maximum UDP throughput is between 50-58 kb/s, when there is
no reverse channel contention; parallel UDP streams in the same
direction show a roughly linear performance degradation.
UDP jitter under lightly loaded optimal conditions are between
10 and 30 ms across the range of supportable transmission rates. This
implies the viability of real-time video and audio transmissions at
low bandwidths.
Measurements of interactions with the WaveLAN device show that
the performance of the Ricochet network does not degrade as much as
the WaveLAN network when simultaneous transmissions occur.
The performance of the experimental
deployment is roughly similar to the commercial service, implying
that improvements made to the former are likely to improve the
performance of the latter as well.

There are so many great ideas out there, people. So many. And I wish they could all succeed, but the hard facts and Lady Luck don't seem to be on the side of those who ignore capitalistic principles.
This is America. It's not East Germany circa 1940. It's not China under Mao. It's America under George W. Bush, and "because it's cool and geeky" just doesn't cut it anymore.
Money talks, the economy sucks, and free-spirited software movements are on the out and out.
I visit Slashdot, but I'm skeptical as to whether the true spirit of the original site will persist.
The ideas and expressions that once comprised geek culture have changed so much that the original Slashdot themes of individualist strength and moral integrity in the face of monopolistic powers will probably be cast aside in favor of a more contemporary populist sensibility.

Many people forget that remote backups require no on-site hardware or software and don't require you to spend hours upon hours configuring things.
Even better is that any flood, tornado, or fire at your house or business will not ruin your tape, dvd, cd, or hard drive backups. You simply connect to your remote backup location and restore your old data onto your new hardware. It's that simple, and it's cheap in comparison to spending $3,000 on a tape backup device that only stores 150GB of data per cartridge.
You may want to see if this remote backup company has services that fit your needs (I don't work for them, so it's not a plug). Basically, they state the following as the main appeals to remote backup:
Your data is continuously backed up as it changes, 24 hours a day, so it's always up to date. And it's stored electronically at Iron Mountain® data centers, where more than half the Fortune 500 protect their data.
No-Wait Recovery - Instantly recover your data to the point of failure, eliminating downtime and data loss from relying on a previous night's backup. And a unique web interface allows you to initate restores from any Internet browser, anywhere.
No Tapes, No Hassles, Lower Costs - Tape-less backup and recovery means no hardware or software to buy and a fully automated process requiring little employee time or resources. Lower your data protection costs while freeing IT resources for other tasks.

But I ask here, as an honest interested person, why one would wait until SMP is correctly and efficiently implemented into OpenBSD when they could simply use any old recent version of Windows or Linux on SMP hardware to get symmetric multiprocessor support for a high-load server?

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between Slashdot editors and writing errors. Previous research has suffered from a lack of reliable data on Slashdot editors. I exploit a unique data set to reliably estimate annual editor hire rates at both the OSDN and the Slashdot level during the past five years. My findings demonstrate that changes in the number of Slashdot editors are significantly positively related to changes in the number of spelling and grammatical errors, with this relationship driven entirely by the impact of reposts, bad links, and troll story submissions about "Linux 8.0" and "DivX on Commodore 64". The effect of editors on all other Web sites is much less marked. Recent reductions in the number of editors (see "Why We Fired Katz", Rob Malda, Lincolnhouse Publishers, (C)opyright 2002 for more details) can explain at least one-third of the differential decline in "your/you're" mistakes relative to non-editor mistakes since 1997. I also use this data to examine the impact of editors on the troll population, and reject the hypothesis that these editor-induced article errors led to increases in members' enjoyment or reductions in trolling activity.

People, this is a big card. I mean, wow. Seriously.
I heard from NVIDIA folks that the requirements for powering this monster were originally reported to be within AGP power budget but that's simply not true anymore. It was just confirmed that GeForce FX requires an auxiliary power supply such as ATI's 9700 Pro.
As if that's not enough, the GeForce FX also requires an extra slot.
But trust me, my friends/fans/foes -- I've played the latest games on this thing at a few private screenings with friends I have in the industry, and I assure you that this FX card simply will not dissappoint!
Game addiction is a serious problem, one that's almost as wretched, terrible, and harmful for loved ones than drug, sex, or gambling addictions.
Take, for example, the EverQuest Widows page. Their opening paragraph states simply that "EverQuest-Widows is a forum for partners, family, and friends of people who play EverQuest compulsively [who] turn to each other [for emotional support]".
So please catch yourselves before you joke about addiction. All addictions, not just ones related to drugs, are serious problems that must be solved before disaster strikes.
In conclusion, I urge you all to read this heart-wrenching essay in which Jeffrey Stark talks about how a video game ruined his young life.
Truly a sad story. Remember people: games are for fun/entertainment, and are not real life. Same goes with Slashdot!
The Tube has nearly 256 miles of track and, per the following link, nearly 40 old ghost stations that are no longer in service.
I found this old article on The Tube's Web site that really gives a nice overview of things. I actually read that a few weeks ago, so it's kind of ironic that this/. article was just posted.
In related news, Linus Torvalds, head honcho of the Linux kernel hackers, recently fired a half-dozen developers for going above and beyond normal code writing. Linus found them in multiple IRC channels offering computing support in their free time, which was a clear violation of the Linux team's No Assistance or Help (NAH) policy that was adopted in the mid-1990s.

All these years we've been on Earth, and still we humans don't quite understand all the details of marine life.
;-D
The articles featured by this Slashdot story focus on recent research that proves life exists many miles beneath the surface of the ocean.
Also, I just read an article over at CNN about how typhoons, while dangerous, are absolutely necessary to sustain marine life for undersea creatures.
The ocean truly is a beautiful work of science/art, even more so after each new discovery is uncovered.
Kudos to the marine biologists that every 7th grade student wants to be!
And it makes for a good research project as well.
But I ask here, as an honest interested person, why one would wait until SMP is correctly and efficiently implemented into OpenBSD when they could simply use any old recent version of Windows or Linux on SMP hardware to get symmetric multiprocessor support for a high-load server?
