As a once snobbish, now reformed ex-audiophile, I cannot resist but slip back to the affected, bombastic days of my youth and exclaim "It's about freakin' time! Now when are we going to replace these markedly inferior CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs with the gloriously mellifluous LP-ROM?"
AGNULA, not to be confused with AGNEWLA, the Louisiana chapter of the official Spiro Agnew Fan Club, or Arugula, the yummy, yellowish mustard herb. Maybe we're getting carried away with the acronyms?
Yet another reason why everything should run over ssl/tls. Like my grandmother always used to say "encryption good, gangrene bad."
overclocking is a social phenomenon

Overclocking has become a modern-day, geek equivalent of spending 5,000 hours working on some old [insert venerable American car type here] when you could just go out a new Acura NSX for less than your time was worth, and get way more chicks.
Internet2 page has some events and workshops that look like they might be really good deals. I registered for the IPV6 3 day workshop at the University of Utah for only $100.00 - as long as it doesn't suck, that should be money well spent.
for all you midless twits in an attempt to save some bandwidth and disk space: "Jon Katz BAD. Linux GOOD. Jon Katz like MICROSOFT. Jon Katz like RIAA. Jon Katz like WIPO. Linux like SOFT FLUFFY BUNNIES. Linux like, uh, like LINUX."
Yes, but after catching the wasps, how does one dispose of them? Wait for them to expire of natural causes? Far too time consuming. Perhaps he can build an add on to the wasp-vac that freezes them, or encases them in goo, or maybe generates an electrical charge with which to fry them. Perhaps the encasement unit can be refashioned to be disposable, and then a catapult like device can be erected to launch the entombed wasps into the neighbors yard. Maybe there is some member of the Myrmecophagidae family, like the echidna, that can be built into the unit to eat the wasps.
Geek-magnet, blockbuster movie events like AoTC only happen once in a while, whereas slashdot happens every single day. Why doesn't somebody do a study on how much slashdot costs the economy?
Liquid helium and quantum boosters that are only about a decade away... Why not post a story about personal rocketships whisking us away to the surface of Mars?
Oh No! Could it be a business making a *gasp* a smart business move?! Good Lord, NO! Look - over there - Bill Gates blew his nose! Quick, write it up and submit it slashdot so that those keen conspiracy theorists will see it for what it really is: Bill Gates trying to take over the whole wide world!
Would slashdot have any content at all if it weren't for a handful of successful organizations like Microsoft, Disney, NTT DoCoMo, and the RIAA to constantly drag into the spotlight in order to cleverly expose their obvious embodiment of Evil?
Why hide? If you do your work, complete tasks/projects on time, and you aren't a freakin' parasite your boss will know it and not care if you kick-back every now and then. If he doesn't then he's out of touch with his people, and situations like that tend to correct themselves. (Unless the corruption goes straight to the top, then it's time to look for a new professional home). What do you have to hide? If, on the other hand, you are a worthless waste of company resources then just stay home and play games. Problem solved. I have no sympathy who people who spend most of their effort trying to beat the system.
You Americans get pissed off when terrorists blow your buildings and their occupants to bits, and then you get pissed off when your government tries to protect you. You can't have it both ways. And no, you can't have a better solution because your politicians are all smarter than you. That's why they lead and you follow.
Guess I'd better stop using IPSec and SSL, now. Seriously... What are the implications of this? This is certainly not meant to disuade people or organizations from using RSA based exchanges, but rather to encourage them to increase the key sizes. As difficult as it is for modern servers to deal with high-loads of 1024bit RSA, does anyone really thing that 1536 or 2048 is going to catch on anytime soon? Saying it will cost a billion USD to crack 1024bit RSA is not much more prohibitively out of reach than suggesting businesses move to bring-them-to-their-knees 2048bit RSA. In moderation, not a problem, for hundreds of thousands of transactions day - better grab a heaping handful of Broadcom 5821's.
Executive-types will never allow this since they are generally the folks browsing www.shavednakedlemurs.com, for lack of any real work to do during the workday.
Your big (doesn't like it when one says "big") sister is fond of Windows XP. Why aren't you? William Gibson wrote Neuromancer on Windows XP. Can't speak poorly of it now, can you? And rumour has it that Tolkien would have used XP had it been available. Frank Herbert also would have used XP, but he was under contractual obligation to run Star Office, that was until they started charging for it. Then he went back to vi.
For commercial or "enterprise" applications, a widely adopted language can often prove to be the most powerful. The more popular the language, the easier it will be to find mature or talented resources to keep the product going. Going with a relatively obscure language, even if it is somewhat better suited to the task, might only serve to hinder the evolution of the product.

All you mindless sheep that followed the first idiot who mod'ed this post a troll should have your web-browser privileges revoked.
Because the companies keep them shackled, and remove that part of their brains that controls ethics and free-will.

The 990 was originally designed to offload IPSec. Pretty good chance it's going to support VPN's in one form or another.

It's nice to see that slashdot has been reduced to a free market-research/focus group service.

1) Special green magic markers can make your audio CD's sound better.
2) Hard Drive manufacturers decide that 1 MB = 1,000 rather than 2^10

MOD THIS UP! You have hit the evil nail on its evil head.
The re-centralization of the decentralized U.S. phone industry. Any surprise that this is being propounded by AT&T?
