Yeah buddy, you don't know what you are talking about. The base design only ramps upto 8 procs. That will go upto 16 with dual core. However that's just if you are using just the built in HyperTransport system for SMP. If you use a custom system from cray or SGI, you can go more than 8 procs. Way more.
Current Sparcs are slower than Opterons. Sun have been running on the fumes of their installed customer base for years now. If they weren't the CPU of choice in the Oil patch they would be dead now.
Of course, Koenig is also about 70 now. He's young-looking, but with the rest of the original Trek players dying off in the last decade, he may not be around long
First of all he's only 68. Second the only regular from the Original series to die has been DeForest Kelly who was 84. James Doohan is sick, yes but he's also turning 85 years old this year.
The onboard SATA isn't as good as the add in Cards and most people with be add these cards if they can.
The reason there are more SATA ports is because you may want to support 4 drives but not want to require the use of your PCI-X slot because you need it for a Myrinet card or other additional add in cards. K8WE gives you a lot more options.
They can already crack much larger keys so you expect them to find a 30 Bit Key quick simple.
Yeah I know that it could have a much better alogrithm (sp? sue me I'm tired) than some other keys (WEP anyone) and you need to send the right challenges and the right type of sequence to make a passive transmitter talk to you.
The author shows his ignorance by comparing the price of a 17" LCD with that of a 17" CRT. Hello the viewable area of a 17" LCD is that of a 19" CRT. He compared apples to oranges. Not only that did he discuss the difference in viewable area between LCD and CRT at all?
Why access a network that's no challenge when you can access a network that a bit of a challenge. There's no skill required in logging onto an open network thus there's nothing to brag about.
Umm they haven't yet found the limits to Hard Drives. Hard Drives are the new chips. They are advancing and capacity and miniturization at an impressive rate.
Are you thinking of Computing Devices Canada out of Calgary? They've hired a few Co-op students over the years. They are a defence contractor that specializes in computers for the Canadian and US Militaries.
Oracle does not have a rap of going after unlicensed use of their software. I been told as much by former employees. Probably because it's such a complicated program that most users do properly license it.
the GUI tools never have enough features so you resort to hand configuring anyway
I believe those are pretty much the same tools that come with RHEL 4 minus a graphical LVM manager and a couple of other value added goodies.
poor (read, small) package repository
Compared to?
Fedora Core has one of the biggest package repositories of any distro with possibly only debian being larger.
Short release cycle
Every 6 months is short? The other distros save debian run about the same release cycle or faster.
short security fix lifespan
Hmm, well Fedora Legacy program takes over after a year but it does support older distros for a significant length of time. It still supports RH7.3 and RH9.0.
not safe (according to developers) to update without rebooting into the installer/upgrader--have fun updating those 100 servers every year!
Who are these developers?
You don't have to update every year. Besides yum does a good job of a distro upgrade from FC2 to FC3. Sure FC1 to FC2 was not very easy upgrade with yum but that was because of the kernel switch from 2.4 to 2.6 and wasn't because of FC.
The only truly free options for servers is Debian stable. Long release cycle, vast package repostiories, security backports so your servers don't break, seamless upgrades in place. Everything Fedora is not. Use it or at least something actually meant to be stable, be it Whitebox, SuSE, etc.
You install debian stable on my 4TB Opteron NAS box and I will fire you man. Debian stable doesn't support the hardware.
Slashdot Mirror
He said that Sun is going to die like Novell, Microsoft and BSD are. I didn't misread it. Did you?
We have quad blade designs and may soon be able to do 8 way blades if the things can be cooled. Having an 8 way 3U is not that impressive.
That's expensive. We sell our 4U quads for less than that. 3300 US per proc is way high btw. AMD's price for new 852 is only $1514
BSD initscripts are such a pain in the ass. System V initscripts are some much more logical and easy to work with.

Cray working on 64 to 10,000 Opteron based systems
Current Sparcs are slower than Opterons. Sun have been running on the fumes of their installed customer base for years now. If they weren't the CPU of choice in the Oil patch they would be dead now.
Novell is dying? I think you will find that Novell is making a comeback from the dead more than dying.
Try about £25,000 for the whole thing. The speakers alone are £9,999. It's £15,000 for the Sheet of Glass and projector.
Yeah that's just not true. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and they had some 20-30 copies on the shelf.

Perhaps that would void a contract they signed with fox saying they would never produce another FireFly TV series.

40Bit WEP, you want to get hacked do ya? I have a friend who can hack 128 Bit WEP in 2 hours if the network is busy enough.
It's on the shelves here in Edmonton.

Well the first two issues are definitely cross platform but the last isn't.
Well if he's in DJB's class he's probably already failed.

just without the pretty interface.
Synaptic is no ugly duckling.

Says who, you?
Umm, ever heard of a custom install?
Besides RHEL comes with lots of extra stuff too.
I believe those are pretty much the same tools that come with RHEL 4 minus a graphical LVM manager and a couple of other value added goodies.
