Fine, but if it's not going to be on the PCI bus nor on the memory bus, where do you propose to put it?
Now, about 2-3 years ago, there was the infiny-band (sp?) solution, where this SCSI device could simply feed any number of processors and memory units on a huge 30Gb/sec shared bus structure. That has since died.
But that still leaves me with the question of where you plug this puppy into.
If the article meant to say 3GBytes, then how in the world will the PCI *at 64bits and 133MHz, it's 1 GB/sec transfer) bus keep up? Or even RAMBUS memory, which, here says it has a bandwidth of 4.2GB/sec. (So, kinda means you couldn't have more than one SCSI system at a time and get full bandwidth from both.) Now, if you may have to have memory banks for each SCSI component... ick.
OK, completely off topic, but time for me to do a little rant about this upcoming movie.
If you saw the first trailer, it was about how every so often the core slows, stops, and then reverses after a long pause. Fine. We need to restart it and this is really hard. Decent premise.
Now, it seems as though the whole movie has changed reasons. In the new trailer, the reason the core stops is because the US, evil country that every one seems to know it is, has created a seismic weapon to kill other countries and they have incidentally stopped the core.
Then the isssue is one of, why couldn't they use the simiar device to restart it? They go through a whole lot of effort in the trailer to explain how nearly nothing could do it, but they just stopped it fairly easily.
Also, in the trailer, other oddities have seemed to happen. If you watch it, you'll notcie that stopping the core not only produces giant lightning storms, but also makes lightning become much more attracted to marble historic landmarks than it ever was before. It also seems to make marble landmarks fairly explosive.
So, just like ID4 and Armageddon, this movie is going to require herculean efforts to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the completely fine acting I'm sure it will have.
in a way it was like Aragorn using Athelas/Kingsfoil to ease Frodo's pain and heal Merry, Eowyn & Faramir.
I am, in a word, stunned. You have backed up your claim of ancient knowledge using ancedotal evidence from a work of fiction.
When evaluating claims of scientific validity, using "The ancients Egptians have used..." should be a sign that something is wrong. Starting with, "We bagan our study of after hearing several stories of miraculous healings. In the following series of double blind trials involving 50 random participants we show..." should not be considered relying on the knowledge of the ancients.

Hyatt Discusses Tabs

· Score: 2, Interesting
And as far as them not being for everybody, I find it quite difficult to explain to people who have never seen them why I like them. Tabs, fo me personally, are close to the "I don't know how I lived without them" category, along with my Tivo. Bot are things that people don't appreciate until they use.
I'm wondering what Microsoft will call them when it comes out. It certainly couldn't be "Tabs" since that name would indicate they were playing catchup.
Can't quite do that across mounts even using OpenSSH with or without X forwarding as far as I know.
One thing I enjoy doing with and NFS mount is having a directory mounted on a server with my html directory on it. Publishing is then just a copy, and I'm not eating up cycles on the other system to host an emacs session to edit a text file.
If you decide that there are certain types that shouldn't use it, all of a sudden you are responsible for those who do use it.
For example, since the telephone system makes no attempt to monitor who uses the phones, they are not responsible for crimes planned with them. If they started monitoring for reason 'A', then people could sue with, 'Well, you stopped people doing A, but my guy was hurt because you didn't stop them from B'
So then the question becomes, how much effort are you going to go through for your licensing. I mean, will you say that any protest group shouldn't use it, or any private schools with religous leanings shouldn't use it?
Why bother with the restrictions-- and if you are really paranoid anyway, what's going to stop the government from using it for their oh-so-evil-and-nefarious purposes and jus not telling you about it?
OK, not necesarrily true either. I'm certainly not saying they would do this, but there's an easier way:
Ship out all products with the list of drivers available at the time of shipping. Then only increments to the OS that you have would be sent to you. I think very few people would mind either inderectly or diectly telling MS which version of the OS they were using.
OK, your jokes aren't quite funny, and I'm not sure what you necessarily were trying to say, but it sparked some dim thoughts.
Our humor is completely related to pain and discomfort. (Exceptions, sure, but usually fall into other categories)
Now, would discomfort to a human translate to an AI? Possibly not. And if a computer starts telling jokes, they are liable to be quite unfunny to us humans. What if the computer equivaent to a wedgie is flooding someone's network buffer? What if slapstick to a system is turning off power, or the threat of it?
Who knows, maybe right now computers are truly enjoying laughing at each other while they flounder through overloaded services and open ports. Maybe that SQL worm a few weeks ago was just a big goosing of systems, and they loved it.
The more I type, the less sane and more stupid this is starting to sound. But, hey, what else is slashdot for?
Now, while I am not goin to say for certain it was or was not a sexist act to use her work and not give her credit, the link you point to does not really indicate more than simply despicable inter-academic rivalries-- I think they would have screwed over a guy in much the same way.
Remember, just because it happens to a woman doesn't mean the motive is at all sexist, much like if it happens to a black its racist or if it happens to a white guy it's justice.
Well, not saying that it applies in this case in the slightest, but a property or behavior can be discovered and put to work well before its even remotely understood.
One prime example of this is X-Rays. Discovered around 1896-7 timeframe, and put to use setting bones in the fields of the Crimean (or maybe Prussian) war about a month later. All I'm saying is that you may stumble across a regime of high amplification of a signal, and want to exploit it before really understanding the underlying Physics of the situation.
Now that's worthy of a PANIC if I've ever heard one.
And why did he keep it?

While I know he probably didn't mean it as such, it certainly seems a little sleezy. "Hey, this system's screwed, and will cost a loit to fix... so you might as well leave it with us and go buy a new one." Then he installs a new OS on it and runs it with a keyboard and external monitor?
This just seems wrong to me for some reason. I hope he at least showed how she could use it again without buying an entire new system.
Well, statistics are so whacky in so many courses anyway. Most instructors are of the belief that "Curve" means "shift everybody up by some number of points." And hence if one guy gets a 99, he's 'Ruined the curve.' Quite inane really.
And another thing. Maybe universities should do the curving for the professors. Just adjust all grades at the end to make a 3.00 average. Therefore, if everybody gets an 'A', they get out with a 3.0
Lots of switches and other equipment comes with hardware passwords. When these are lost, you can call the company and get a password by reading off a serial number identifier off of the equipment. When you enter that password, the machine is reset and all information previously on it is gone.
That would be good enough for most users in any event.
And, just for the sake of humor, you can see the second amendment statement diagrammed, where the well-armed militia part really has nothing to do with the sentence itself:
1) What's a minor. Some groups consider a child-shooting as long as the person in question is under 19.
2) What's a "shooting death"? Should a shooting death be counted if the person was protecting themselves? How about someone else? How about a threat they felt was immenent?
And the big unknown in pretty much every study: How many crimes were prevented? This is often the focus of such studies, and is often extrapolated from very iffy figures.
What it comes down to is the 2nd amendment, which, despite with a not-to-be-named-9th-circuit-court might say, actually does protect the right to bear arms. Until the amendment is changed, gun control people have a very large uphill battle.
If the question is, "Should content providers do it for free?" The answer I would give is a 'yes'. Let your bandwidth be regulated down to the amount you can afford.
And who asked you to work your butt off for me? Did I write you and say, "Please give me a website about carrots?" You had an idea, you put it in practice, I didn't ask, and I really don't care how or if you get money from your website. Not my problem.
