Halo isn't the only reason to buy an xbox. I watch divx movies on my tv, play atari 2600, N64, SNES, NES, Lynx, Gameboy, Neogeo, and xbox(of course) games all on one machine. It is an excellent home entertainment investment, as long as you know how to solder.
Even if you arn't going to charge you need the patent. Because if someone else patents it leter they can sue you. I know there is a "Prior art" clause or somthing like that in patent law, but It might cost you millions in legal fees to prove that it actually was your idea, if you even prevail in court. I think OSS developers should patent every good idea they have as long as they have an "open" licencing scheme. Like use my idea for free, if you don't stand to profet from it. Or all implementations of this idea must open sourced. This could prevent companies from basterdizing things that should be left open.
There's a cray YMP at the collage I attend. Each drive CONTROLLER is in its own 6 foot high case. The power supply, a generator that is 12ft wide and 8 feet high, not to mention the cooling system. Until you've seen that setup you don't know the meaning of "big iron".
Journaling doesn't proctect data. It just makes it faster to restore the filesystem. If you've written two blockes of a 500 block write and the power goes out journaling won't recover the other 498 blocks.
As I undstand it few people will benifit from "Instant on". It will be *nix users who will save a few cents on their elctric bills, and some laptop users. Those who use Windows on their desktops would have little to gain since they are faced with an obligatory reboot almost daily anyway. As for those of us who use a good OS, we can leave our machines on indefinitly. Therefore it would only save electricity and our machines life span(hardly an issue) to be able to turn it on and off instantly. To me MRAM will hardly "revolutionize" the industry.

It says right in there that Lagrangian cases are one of the special cases in which it can be solved.
At least we won't have to hear them complain about it. :)

Where is it and what do we win if it hits.
That would be cool. Kinda like VMWare does with its virtual machine OS's.
You can share files with chat programs. I know a few people who send Divx movies over ICQ.
Great plan
