Ok From reading the previous posts I gather then these hook up into a passive 64 bit pci bus. Doe sthis mean if I have a newer system with 64 bit PCI slots I can slap this bad boy in or do I need a special PCI board that dosen't have a proc thats made to slap these things into. I think a lot of slashdot readers who haven't played with servers are in the dark on this one so how bot enlightening us.
Now if you bothered to read this article you'd see that it said:
His discovery also reinforces the theory that modern human beings have their origins in ancient Africa. Professor Sykes found that the seven ancestral mothers have strong links to one of three clans that still exist in Africa today.
Therefore this supports the theory that homosapians come out of Africa.
first of all the bbc link shoud point to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_7 19000/719376.stm According to BBC story all 7 women decended from one of three clans that still exist in Africa today. I assume the other 1% of homo sapians would have decended from the other two clans. Wouldn't it be cool if we could trace combine this with historical and archeological records as well as some new genttic research to create a family tree of the entire human race. We could set it up a server with a CVS like service that people could login to and submit their familt trees. Historians an scientists could be responsible for putting it all together and tracking our ancient ancestors. The information could be put on the internet giving people that are still alive a serial number to protect their privacy. Maybe Slashdot could even set uo a page when you put in you serial number and it tells you how close of a releative you are to linus, Gates, John Katz, etc
The more Top Level Domains the better. While its true that yahoo and microsoft will grab microsoft.sex (if some site for impotence fettishes dosen't) and yahoo.med a proliferation of TLDs will mean that most businesses will bwe less likely to do this. So Don't stop at two new ones. And while where at it here's a grand idea, a person or business can register a TLD 5-15 characters in length long. Microsoft would jump at this. Although I don't know if Windows 2000 is stable enough to be the . in.microsoft. When IPv6 becomes the new standard where gonna need the TLDs anyway. Imagine the commercials: Sun, we put the dot in.playboy,.ecommerce.sunmicrosystems....
Forget HDTV we need to make T1's affordable for home users. Forget DSL and Cable Modems. I want to so much bandwidth I need to use a dual Athlon as a router.
You could also flood the filters with garbage by putting the bot on all your non-technical friends computers. Program it it go to slashdot and freshmeat and sync with the mozilla CVS at night. And for all you DSL and cable modem owners with home networks if you put the bot on the 386 you use as a router and make it say its a Winblows box running IE when queried by CGI progs and set up ypur proxies and firewalls right you could look like joe blow, regulr web server
It is not that hard to train military IT to use Linux. Just install SUSE or Red Hat on the computers and through the magic of either YAST2 or linuxconf run from Gnome/X all the MSCE wannabe admins can point and click to maintain the servers.
On a more serious note through tools like SSH, could be used to allow computer experts to stay far behind the front lines. Also, since OpenSSH is under a BSD style license, the military could in theory modify it with any top-secret encryption algorithms they develop without releasing the modified code.
On a final note IMHO the BSD's would be much better for military applications. Their networking code is superiors to the penguins. Linux would be good for desktops due to a larger application base. However, the BSDs make much better servers.
So AOL/TW has traditional media (publishing, movies, music, tv), the pipes (cable networks), software (ICQ, Netscape) and the portal (AOL dial-up service). Wouldn't the logical thing be for Congress to break it all up, a la Ma Bell, into different competing divisions along those lines?
Unfortunatly by the time they get around to breaking it up the different sections that used to be seperate companies will have integrated enough that Time Warner could have claimed hardship and delay the breakup for years.
Contrary to other posters, I think that the study and the NY Times articles are relevant. Many/. readers, myself included, don't realize how many people have never heard of Linux/Unix/BDS/OSS/etc. While it?s true this number is decreasing everyday the non-technical members of our society make up the majority of this group. This includes doctor, lawyers, business executives (in non-technical industries) and the like. These are people are the ones reading the New York Times. To these people the rewards of open source software are not obvious because it is a concept they are unfamiliar with. We should be rejoicing that the NYTimes would run such an article. It is arguable that those conducting the study already knew the results of it before they conducted it. However, by performing it they now have constructed a formal scientific conclusion with evidence to back it. OSS supporters have a document to cite. Many studies are conducted that prove what people already know. Studies on the dangers of smoking and marijuana being a gateway drug were supported by the medical community. Just because something is obvious doesn?t mean we should question it.
Slashdot Mirror
Well its obvious that the chief is OOG.

Well T1's are fiber optical and every packet travels at 1.54 MB/sec until it becomes saturated. Although a T3 would probally be a better idea

You know I was considering buying their boxed set.
