RedHat Network has patches for RH 7.3. From the RHN Errata page : "We have provided kernel updates for Red Hat Linux 7.1-8.0 with this advisory as these were prepared by us prior to December 31 2003. Please note that Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 have reached their end of life for errata support and no further errata will be issued for those distributions."
Still partial to a Kernel compile time benchmark... for that matter, a bit more OpenGL benchmarks on XFree86 would also be welcome on their new huge gfx cards test.
Using VMware ESX on a SAN with the new VMware Virtual Center is simply amazing... you can migrate machines from one physical box (running ESX 2.0.1) to another in a few seconds (depeding of the amount of virtual memory allocated to the guest OS).
To me the purchase by EMC of VMware is a great move (therefore Dell is also a winner). Now we can all hope for better EMC support for Multipathing and Cluster support on their Clariion storage arrays.
(IMHO) The company that will suffer from this IBM, as I believe the support for IBM's FAStT, will slowdown a bit.
... the shuttle fleet needs some kind of in-flight repair process. Unfortunately, the nature of the shuttle design makes it extremely hard to perform such repairs. The answer is Space docks;-)
Why not simply add two high-speed/high-res cameras aimed from the cockpit level towards the wings, and just record the data local in the shuttle. Once in orbit, they can download the movies for analysis by the ground engineers for impact troubles.The cameras can even burn-up on the re-entry in the atmosphere and be replaced.
It's a shame that we need to use tools like CrossOver Office 2.1 to support the Lotus Notes R5 client under Linux. With a company like IBM pushing Linux, it seems to me that getting a Notes client would be the obvious choise... (Lotus Domino servers already run on Linux).
You don't. If all your data is lost, you just re-launch the experiment with that single neutron aimed for that single quartz and BANG there is your data again (albeit different)...;-)
10 to 20 Terabytes of data is what the LHC collisioner is going to generate each second while it is running. CERN is expecting to generate at least 5 petabytes of data per year. It should also be noted that CERN is a large user of lower cost large storage arrays based on 3ware cards, but those won't scale to what the LHC will require.
Archos is already selling AV380's with a 80Gb disk for a price of around 1000 Euro's. This will give you just enough to load all of the Star Trek episodes from all series (STTOS,STTNG, STDS9,STVOY & STENT).
What you need most is that Nuclear plants have ways to keep working when their connections to the Grid are broken. If they can't output electricity to the grid, the plants have to power down, because the electricity can't go anywhere. And Nuclear plants will take more than a few hours to cool down enought to be started up again. At least 9 nuclear plants are power-down right now, it's all that electricity that won't be able to rejoin the grid fast enough to normalize the situation.

OpenEmbedded is the consolidation process of the different Linux PDA & Embedded solutions.
Linux PDA projects like OpenZaurus, and the Open Palmtop Integrated Environment (OPIE) will lead to more flexible and widely supported Linux platforms. Just have a peek at the long list of Linux supported platforms:
HP iPaqs, Dell Axim's, Sharp Zaurus, Samsung's Yopy, Siemens SIMpad's, etc...
Well the new series of Sharp Zaurus C700/C750/C760 have a 640x480 3.7" Screen, that's 144dpi. The screen is amazing. Using the same resolution (144dpi) but on a 17" slab, would give you a resolution of about 2920x2200 (Microscope is not included).
In Switzerland 802.11a is alowed but with such constrains to power regulation, that nearly no 802.11a network equipment is sold. Europe waits for the release of 802.11h which will be a 802.11a with Power Emission/Reception auto-regulations.
I purchased a Personal Jukebox PJB100 in October 2000. It was probably one of the first harddrive based mp3 players with 6Gb. As of a December 2002, I upgraded the same player with a 60Gb (Toshiba GAP 60Gb 2.5" Drive) drive. I used to be able to listen 10hours on those accu it came with, now I'm down at 6hours.
What is important to consider between the different HD players (after the size) is what kind of medium they use. I believe IPod's use a 1.8" drive, while the PJB100 and the Zen use 2.5", so they will be cheaper and boast larger drivers...
Slashdot Mirror
I see the slashdot title AMD Roadmap reveal and I say Yah!!! what's my dream Opteron cpu for 2004 ? and ... nothing...

There is also a upcoming 6.5 Java Client coming, but with Inotes, I can't localy replicate the information.

Well I took the opportunity to purchase additional entitlements to RHN. Go Red Hat !!

I'm now going to make sure I keep all RFID tags I find, and each time I go buy some new blades I'll take them along to swapping their sensors... ;-)

It was the Digital Alpha in 1994, while it was a desk-side, more than a desk-top.
Will all those specs... they don't even include an Fast Ethernet or Gigabit connection ?

Well, why not use Exim as your Mail Transfer Agent and transfer your POP3/SMTP/IMAP inside a SSL/TLS tunnel ?
