EV1 signed a contract with Microsoft, to help SCO kill Linux? Does EV1 participate in illegal money transfer from Microsoft to SCO? At least one thing is sure - Microsoft loves EV1, you cen see it yourself here:
www.microsoft.com/resources/casestudies/CaseStudy. asp?CaseStudyID=14464 "Through EV1, Microsoft is pushing its alternative choice - the Web Edition kit"
SCO knows that the licence sold to EV1 is illegal, and either they are afraid (EV1 can sue SCO first) or SCO wants more headlines like: "The fu***n SCO, sold the license".
Could we just write:
* SCO to Linux Conversion book,
* SCO to Linux HOW-TO,
* SCO to Linux Migration Case Histories,
and start sourceforge site with all necesery scripts, etc?

Speak Freely is a program that allows two or more people to conduct a real-time voice conference over the Internet or any other TCP/IP network. It supports a variety of compression protocols, such as GSM, ADPCM, LPC, and LPC-10. The cryptography-enabled version includes IDEA, DES, and limited PGP encryption capabilities for protecting the privacy of important voice conversations. http://www.speakfreely.org/
There is a big problem with data redundancy in scientific papers.
I was unable to find any software to create, review, store & update scientific knowledge on any particular subject. In hot areas of molecular biology new papers are published daily. No one has time to search and read everything that is relevant to his field of interest. It takes plenty of time to find most important papers, to obtain copies of it (in print or pdf) and to dig throw all unimportant parts of the paper that has to be included because you can not link (hyperlink) directly to certain paragraph in another paper.
I think that we need to switch from paper type publications (where earch paper consist of redundant data and is linked to other papers by references only) to knowledge-base like publishing. The knowledge base on any field of science may be stored in object oriented database with schema that is like table of contents taken from any "scientific bible" (i.e. "Genes VII"). The table of contents might be followed by another layer containing very condensed information (like in scientific reviews) that has links to titles of scientific publications, or better to one sentence summary of scientific finding of any particular publication. The next layer may consist of data taken from publication abstracts (containing everything impoprtant) with links to crude data. Each piece of crude data should be logically presented with rationale (reason for that experiment), discussion of crude result and links to exact paragraphs of other publications. Each fact stored in the database should be linked to crude data. The crude data should be taken from publications or direct submissions and of course before inclusion into the database it must be peer reviewed. The crude data may also include the probability of it's reliability (set by author or reviewers). The reliability is important because some results are obtained with methods that give reliable results, but many of the research in molecular biology provide only indirect evidence.
This scientific-knowledge database will remove most of the redundancy found in all scientific publications published as articles.
To create such a system you can start with object oriented database (i.e. ZOPE or object-relational PostgreSQL or MySQL that has good full text search). Please not that the database will contain trilions of hyperlinks, and link management will be very important part of it. It should have system for peer review (maybe similar to slashdot moderation). It will store crude results that are in hundreds of different formats. Each single crude result with additional data and files may be stored in one tar.gz or zip file. There must be also a some kind of versioning system. You will have to provide external editor or list of compatybile editors that suport XML format. Maybe OpenOffice? And last but not least - there must be a system that enable researcher to claim that this work is theirs. To obtain further funding scientist need to be able to show what research was done. In science the position of each researcher is based on how many papers he/her published in best scientific journals. Scientific journals has impact factro - if papers published in the journal are cited often - the impact factor of the journal is high.
NFS, 2.1GB file limit and ReiserFS
on
Benchmark Madness
·
· Score: 1
I am using ReiserFS for over a yaer and I have noticed two problems:
a)NFS (kernel NFS) exported partition stop working after I have switched to kernel 2.4.2. Everything is OK untill I mounted the NFS exported partition and start reading big files from it. To recover I have to reboot the computer (this one with reiserfs exported with kernel mod NFS),
b)The 2.4.2 kernel with reiserfs enabled, creates partition that does not support big (>2.1GB) files.
P.S. Plesae e-mail me if you know the solution to those problems.

I has been quietly released on June 20, 2000. I have it up and running on two computers. SuSE 7.0 is rock stable and runs much faster than SuSE 6.4. It contains quite stable KDE2 and many current packages such as PostgreSQL 7.0.2, IBM Java2, etc.
I am running prereleased version of SuSE 7.0. SuSE 7.0 is on 4CDs of RPMs + 2CDs of SRPMs. It is rock stable (kernel 2.2.16) and all of my computers run much faster after upgrade.
Most of the clusters are used for scientific calculations. In my field (molecular biology) there is enormous need for software to search and analyze sequence (i.e. Human genome) databases. What type of clusters and databases are the best for this task?
I need both good anonymity (to stay anonymous) and strong authentication with encription (for e-commerce and every situation I want to be sure that nobody else use my identity).
On Linux I can print documents to a postscript file, convert ps to pdf, and make the pdf file available on the Internet.
Humminbird software I was testing 2 years ago, simulated a printer driver that was automaticaly converting a printed document to the DigitalPaper format.
Can Hummingbird make similar software that enables (Windows) users to print to the "virtual" printer that automaticaly:
convert printed document to XML or PDF
post/upload it to a specified location on a selected Internet/Intranet server?

Hey AOL!
You do not have to write 1000,000 Java or NET apps.
Thousends of superb GPLed Linux apps are ready to be served to your users. Just serve the apps from OpenAFS (distributed filesystem).
Hey Microsoft!
Pray that nobody does this before you leave software/server business.
Is there any alternative to NFS?
