English is a dominant language used. How many other countries have as many users on the internet as America tho? I doubt many. The UK had only one isp and it cost per connection time (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) co.uk or something similar. China musn't have a large amount of users if they could 'firewall' the New York Times, etc... I'm not sure the status of Japan and other countries, I just believe America has one of the largest followings...
I can read Cantoneese, however, I believe by way computers were created, that it is much more realistic to use English.
Well atleast their only trading the mp3's of the albums. Picture all these college kids trading jpeg images of T-shirts and getting iron-on transfers and 'pirating' tshirts:)
It's great that IBM can manage to put together a cluster this large in capacity, however, is there any usefulness in this project? Are they doing any heavy number crunching with it or is it just a million+ dollar showpiece IBM can brag about? I'm curious as to know what they're going to use this for... something scientific? OR just a big ass rc5des machine?:-)
Is there a list of these computers to see what's ranked 24?
Good point.:-) I can't stand playing a solid state guitar amplifier. The warmness of the tube inside the amp sounds so much more real then transisotr based...
I wonder if it'd ever be possible to recreate the warmth from a tube amp...:)
Penn State University has been doing online university for a while. Many courses are offered here (if I get an intership in the summer I may take calculus from out of state)... It's not free however, it's around the same credit hour tution as a normal PSU student I believe... However it's intersting to check out.:-)
Here at PSU Napster consumes an extremely large amount of bandwith. However, PSU CAC represenatives have decided to buy more bandwith for the campuses... I don't really like the idea of Napster, but I don't beleive it should be banned. It is rather annoying, as I have a kid sitting next to me in the lab using the thing... Ugh... Anyways:)
Microsoft is a corporation making billions of dollaris off of operating system (and other great monopolistic qualities)... They are required to meet deadlines (well, in somewhat) and to please the consumers (Yeah, right). Where as the Linux, and most other open source efforts, are being worked on for quality. Why complain? Would you rather buy a product for $189 and recieve a something you were expeting to be 'great' but have it *NOT* work? Atleast your going to get a great working product with the free and later one. Of course, what's the big deal... You can't rush perfection:)
This sounds VERY unfair to the open source public to me. Why is a big company like ati allowed to have the dvd specifications and develop software for it, while us, the norma everyday programmers not allowed to? We have to resort to 'illegal' means' just to play out DVD's under an alternative operating system. Don't get me wrong, I respect ATI very much. In fact, I'm using an ATI card in my box right now, very happily. Mayve the MPAA will one day realize they pissed us off.... Too bad we couldn't counter sue them... of course, with todays legal system we could. (only if we were a large corporation.) Heh....
Oh where oh where has the integer book beeeen... I could've used some help with my discrete mathmatics and theroy courses last semester. Oh well, I beleive I'll be purchasing this book soon anyways...:-)
I've never admined while durnk, but for some odd reason myself, and all my friends decide to use IRC while intoxicated. I don't know why, but whenever I'm drunk I feel the need to chat about it. Of course I'd make a good drunk ircOP:-) Anywayssssssss
Sometimes I wish a lot of the developers would start helping with already in progress distributions. Too many choices of distributions are coming out. I always believed we could make much more progress if we had 10 more developers on the slackware project making it easier, or 10 more on debian, mandrake or stampede. Don't get me wrong, I've used stampede and believe it's a great distribution. I'm just trying to say to al ot of the newbie developers to start developing *FOR* current systems. Why reinvent the wheel when we already have it. Why not make it 4 wheel drive?:)
The article is basically the same as most other linux business/news related articles excpet the fact he mentioned the DVD industry and the intangible fight that's happening. Maybe this will be another push for DVD and DeCSS to be cleared up... It's indefinate that Linux and other unix style operating systems NEED DVD. How can an operating system be competition with another 'bigger' operating system if the same standards cannot be used on both. It's a shame... Makes me wonder if Microsoft secretly owns the Motion picture industry also.:-) Anyways....
Your a pancake? WELL WHY DON'T YOU PANCAKE YOUR ASS BACK TO CHICAGO! Er, sorry about that. I should REALLY stop downloading these 'The Rock' audio clips... think they're destroying my brain cells...but IT DOESN'T MATTER! (Sorry for offtopic)
Welps, time to upgrade my schools news forum already:-) Just spent the whole day yesterday setting the machine up from scratch. *groan* Oh well, I don't mind doing it for a nice piece of product:-) Thanks guys
Windows has the ease of management that all admins really want, but it's extremly too each that it allows underqualified admins into the workforce. I hear sooo many people complaining that "their admin is lame" "stupid" etc and "runs everything on NT". If I were to start a large business and had to hire administrators, I would choose the ones with any UNIX experience over the Windows experience, even if they're MCSE and so forth. I'm not saying all Windows admins don't know what their doing... I know there are plenty that know what they're doing, and plenty that are much smarter then I'll ever be... But I'm generalizing saying a lot of UNIX admins understand the system better and make it more secure and stable then the pretty point and click routing enviorment... ugh.
The past year or so I've been living by http://www.unix-vs-nt.org Many windows users fight with me on IRC (The biggest downfall of the net, but that's another topic) but most of them quit arguing after I direct them there. Few venture on to continue the 'discussion' but majority doesn't....
I completely agree with you. Reverse engineering is NECESSARY:-) I don't think we're going to lose cause tho. I think the whole open source community wont let it happen. I've alerady stood up for my rights. I've mirrored the decss source in a few places already. If the Motion picture industry is going to be such a bitch to everyone, let them slap us around until we dump them... *shrug*

Oh welps.
I meant that in a 'non-religous' way. :P

Well it's a shame Jason was in an accident. He's loved here and I'm sure all of us will keep him in our prayers.
That didn't answer my question. A scientist doing research... What kind of research?
Is there a list of these computers to see what's ranked 24?
That's the way I'd figure it, but nowadays it's probably Microsoft = computers
Damn kids these days :)
I wonder if it'd ever be possible to recreate the warmth from a tube amp... :)
Penn state World Campus
Maybe you get your diploma in the jpeg format and you can print it on your laserjet.

Wonder how long it'll take before we see "openwarez.cx" and "freeisos.cx" coming up abusing their service. "My site is open source!" Heh...

I have no terminal to hook up to it... Any other suggestons? :( Thanks...
I remember trying this back in the day. I think that maybe worked. *shrug* Time to break out the old NES and try it ;)
