By the time that message left your LAN, your NIC's MAC had been replaced by that of your router, and every router along the path to here. Big difference....
And a lot of the people saying "only god can reproduce the spirit" will use that as an excuse for treating clones as subhuman... Just like various "christian" factions (acting in a not-very-christian manner) have in the past for the status of "test-tube" babies.
I'm sorry, but that appears to be absolute crap. Would you mind sharing with us your factual basis for the above claim? "Test-tube" babies being treated as subhuman? By various "Christian" factions? Hmm, I musta missed that sermon... Oh no, wait - I didn't, because that hasn't happened. Perhaps you've been watching too many Seaquest re-runs?
How can it be called a satellite if it just goes up 3 miles then parachutes back down? They'd be better off dropping them from weather baloons - they'd go higher, and it'd be cheaper to 'launch' them.
While I think it's a cool project, if it don't orbit - it just ain't a satellite..
That's a bunch of crap - there's absolutely no truth in that. I deal in media in both Canada and the US, and while it happens in Canada, it doesn't in the US. Check your facts before you spout off....
The cost of AV software, on the desktop, on the servers, and on the firewalls is directly related to virus attacks, thus that figure can be easily included in the calculations. The gross income of companies such as Trend Micro, McAfee, and Norton is mostly from the sale of AV licenses / updates, and I'm sure it would be a simple matter of a phone call to Investor Relations at each company to get exact figures related to such sales.
As stated by others, the rest - time, lost productivity, etc is harder to calculate, but at least you'll get part of it accurately.
Sigh.... Yet another poorly researched/. article. According to the article, these babies don't have cameras or mics yet, just a temperature sensor. The rest is speculation and consideration. You know, it'd be nice if the people that submitted stories read the articles, even if the/. staff doesn't.
Proof of this phenomenon can be found in the male groin. No, not that way - What I mean is look at the way a room of guys reacts when another guy get kicked in the nuts!
Borland did the Really Smart (TM) thing, and released the CLX, DataCLX, and MySQL libraries GPL'd, making it possible to write GPL software entirely within Kylix. This was a concern voiced here on/. a while ago, and I'm glad to see Borland on the right track with this.
So now any dummy can slap together a cluster - what's he gonna do with it? Beowulfs aren't designed to run standard services - i.e. they won't make a good web server - they run specialized software, custom coded for each application. What _dummy_ is gonna write such an app?
Nevertheless, this is an incredibly interesting, and cool, idea....
In case you hadn't noticed, most people that bash MCSEs don't do so because of the OS that they work with, it's because the vast majority of the ones we run into are incompetent fiils that couldn't troubleshoot their way out of a paper bag with a manual. Before you get all upset, I'm not passing judgement on any individuals (you included), but taken as a whole, MCSEs are pretty much the bottom rung of the IT world. Sorry - sometimes the truth hurts..
This is not about porn it is about anything W. thinks should be banned and that is *alot* (sic) of stuff.
Excuse me? This law was signed by President Clinton, not President Bush. That being said, your anger needs to be re-directed towards the courts now, as this has been law for a while and only they can change that.
the excellent knowledge base that Linux can only dream of emulating
Excellent? Are you on crack? Spend some time with a truly useful KB one day, and you'll want to bitchslap MS's KB maintainers. A search for video problems with win2k will turn up solutions to DMA problems in win98, a search for ftp problems turns up video cards... It's insane, and highly useless.
Not to mention the fact that you have to use one of MS's browsers to get help - what happens if it's the browser that's screwing up? There's nothing on that site that couldn't be done browser-neutral, yet they refuse....
They've shelled out $20M + legal costs to screw Java. That seems much cheaper than developing, marketing, and supporting a truly competing technology. This way, they've demolished Java (be realistic, without MS backing Java will go the way of Pascal) and are free to develop and market their not-so-competitive platform without any real competition.
Umm, sorry? Are you implying that the only high performance clustering solution available is beowulf? Stop smoking the cheap crack, it's messing with your head. Most clusters are not focused on computation, but providing services. Often the bottleneck that's being overcome is not the CPU.
Just because it's not plotting weather patterns doesn't mean that it's not high performance. The performance is just measured in other ways (HTTP req's/sec, FTP throughput, etc. etc.) This is an infinitely more common, and to most, more useful type of cluster. Sometimes I think the/. crowd is a little _too_ fixated on beowulf clusters...
That linux lacks this has been one of Microsoft's marketing points, so this is a really good thing.
That you _believe_ that Linux lacks this is testimony to the success of Microsft's marketing...

You have 2 mail accounts, joe@earthlink.net and one from work. You need to send mail from the work.com account, but ELN's mail server don't relay for other domains. Normally, you would use smtp.work.com (or something along those lines), but ELN also stops you from doing this. How on earth are you going to get the mail out?
Wouldn't the length of traces eventually represent a problem? We're already running into 'speed of electrons' problems with current designs, wouldn't an 8" CPU only magnify the problem, and create a speed limitation?
Sure it'd make a cheap singe server, but at that price the whole damn thing is practically disposable. Stuff a rack with them, hook 'em up to a SAN, or an NFS mounted data repository (to eliminate the need to replicate data) and front the whole thing with a nice load balancer (or 2 boxes running the Linux Director stuff). Voila - you've got a $50k rack with enough SSL encrypting, HTML pushing, PERL punching, and bandwidth blasting power to rival ANY $150k piece of 'big iron'.
A radio station here in LA - KROQ did this for a while, they ran a Quake2 server, with custom levels based on their "studios". KROQ banners, sound effects, and ads abounded, but it was never intrusive anough to be annoying. I've always wondered why this never took off...
And man will never travel faster than the speed of sound, modems will never get faster than 9600baud, copper will never be able to carry Gb Ethernet, oh yeah - and 640k ought to be enough for anybody. There were logical, well thought out arguments for each of the above (ok, except for the Bill Gates quote) statements, yet they were all proven wrong...

Haven't you learned ANYTHING from history? Apparently you were too busy studying physics to pay attention. Here's a tip - never, ever, ever tell a scientist that something's impossible, unless you want to be proven wrong...

I wonder what the possibility would be of getting in the vicinity of the splashdown to watch a first in a lifetime event? It would definitely be the coolest thing I've ever seen... Large glowing mass descending, hitting the ocean at ungodly speeds, causing the world's largest cannonball effect! What a rush...
This pervasiveness is even more true of the Internet, not least because the Internet sells itself as, and in fact is, so very much more than a mere entertainment or news medium: it is also a research library, a marketplace, and a schoolroom. Given these additional roles, there is no reason to maintain that the Internet is entitled to the same First Amendment protection as print or even radio and television.
It is precisely this pervasiveness that _requires_ us to afford the Internet First Ammendment protection. If we only apply freedoms to some mediums, they lose all of their value.

I think they should follow samba's example, and make a word out of it.... My vote is for SaSHay.
