Everything you want may be coming. I'm assuming Novell purchased SuSe with the intent of integrating Netware into Linux. If that happens, we'll probably see a large groundswell of people migrate. There are a lot of companies out there using Netware still and I'm sure a lot of them would switch to Linux for a whole lot of reasons.
The combined strength(technological and financial) of IBM and Novell should give Linux a corporate presence it's never experienced before. Netware for Linux would really give it a desktop presence for corporations because they would be easy to integrate and administer.
Yes, but out of the two options, turbocharging is always preferable. High cylinder pressures from turbos are more tolerable with current manufacturing methods than are high rpms. They are an excellent compromise between fuel efficiency and maximum output.
I work 12.25 hours every shift I work, on an alternating A/B 14-day schedule. In theory, this means I would only have to work 7 days out of any 14 day period. We're short people right now, so I'm working both A and B shifts. That comes out to: 85.75 hours a week. It's a symbiotic relationship. I'm broke, and they're shorthanded. I typically take anywhere from 2 to 5 days off a month.
My average bi-weekly paycheck: 80 Regular time +80 1.5x Overtime +10 2x Overtime ----- Roughly 170 hours.
Most of the machines we have here at our plant are capable of processing 6" and 8" wafers. Most of our cleanlines could accomodate 12" but that's about it.
You think dropping a cassette of 12" wafers is bad? We had a guy who pulled too much on an ingot and cracked the furnace, then dropped an ingot. That amounted to about $850K in damage, lost time, and lost revenue. That guy got fired faster than you can imagine.
I don't like verbally abusing anyone. I'm actually a super nice guy. It is just frustrating to see one person make a few assumptions, a few other people make the assumption he is right and mod him up, and then the rest of the people thusly assume that this highly rated post is accurate. It's the snowball effect of assumptions. I have no issue with people being wrong about anything. I just don't think people should speak as though they know something when they don't.
Please, for god sakes, do not talk out of your ass. How does this shit get modded up? Just baffles the mind.
I work in the industry. Your numbers and your assumptions are way off. Fist off, a 200mm polished non-epitaxial silicon wafer is going to cost about $60-75 depending on the specific processing you want done to it. A 300mm wafer isn't a whole lot more. A big piece of the cost of a wafer is the processing, labor, and subsidization of investment capital for the huge plants required to manufacture wafers. The silicon itself isn't terribly expensive. 300mm wafers do not cost an arm and a leg. They are the most cost effective way to produce chips right now and 300mm is the market standard. AMD has been using 200mm wafers in the past but with the larger die size of their newer chips, 200mm is biting into their profits. The problem is silicon wafers are round and CPU dies are square. All of the silicon around the edges is wasted where a whole core won't fit. 300mm makes this wasted silicon a much smaller percentage of the total wafer's surface area.
Wrong assumption two: 300mm will be here for a while. There are still a lot of companies using 200mm wafers. I know this because I personally make 200mm wafers, and market forecasts has us producing a shit load of 8" wafers for THE NEXT TWO YEARS. 300mm wafer demand is growing, and will continue to grow for quite some time as companies make the transition. I would expect 300mm to be standard until at least '07 or '08. I heard someone talking a while ago about 350mm wafers, but I have a strong suspicion this person was, like you, also talking out their ass. To my knowledge, 300mm is the largest wafer being produced now or in the near future.
I don't remember hearing anything about surgery, unless you count skin grafts. She suffered massive second and third degree burns from her hips to her knees, which also incurred permanent neurological damage.
$1M sounds about right. Money really is the only way to make a company pay attention anymore. When something affects their bottom line, they fix it.
There's a big difference here. The majority of the GPL is there to grant you rights, not take them away. It ony covers distribution as well. The *use* of a piece of software isn't covered by the GPL at all. That's the difference; closed source licenses are there to restrict distribution, use, copying, reverse engineering, fair use, and competition.
EULA's are completely fucked up from top to bottom.
I have it the exact opposite. I cannot be contacted at work if not for my cell phone. I also don't spend a whole lot of time at home. I work about 84 hours a week right now but when I'm not working, I only spend half the off time at home it's nice to have my phone with me. I also have two roommates and none of us spend much time at the house. We all have cell phones. We don't even have a land line because we spend so little time there that the $40/month can now go towards other things. PDA's are quite convenient but for my own personal needs, a new PDA isn't required. I have an Palm m105 and it suits me just fine. It keeps track of all my contacts and lets me take memos. I also use the scheduling reminders all the time. Most of the newer PDA's have a lot of features I don't need, at the expense of battery life. My palm takes 2 alkaline batteries and lasts weeks(unless I use the backlight a lot).
Another GUI component that is superior to Win32: Qt. Why from the get-go would MS make such a crappy interface to the GUI components? If you've ever had to write an app using just Win32 calls, you know it sucks ass really bad. Using MFC isn't much better and has a couple really glaring bugs. Qt is a very clean OO approach to GUI building. It makes it easy to design a good GUI without focusing too much on the details.
Try this phone on for size. It looks sharp. Has enough features to be useful(SMS,voice dialing,infrared) but doesn't do anything that phones shouldn't be doing(like playing music). The battery lasts as much as 10 days for me(light but daily usage). It is very small and weighs only 2.9 ounces. It doesn't have gawdawful ring tones, no flashing lights, no mind-numbing blue backlights.
It's GPRS enabled and includes a WAP browser too! I love my phone.
Actually, that's a good place to put the button. The fact that it is labeled as such will mean that most people will intentionally avoid that button. One of the ways they can 'recycle' this phone is by giving them to prostitutes. No, this isn't a troll.
Almost all major metropolitan cities in America have a program where unneeded cell phones are given to prostitutes to use in emergencies. Federal law says that all cellular phones have the ability to make an emergency call to 911 regardless of account status. I've read about cell phone recycling centers for phones in Portland, LA, Seattle and San Francisco. I'm sure there are many others out there.
Works with your tin-foil hat? These phones are made for tin-foil hat wearers!
What more could you ask for. No contract. Anonymity. Low Prices. That's how cell phones are supposed to work. Don't want the man listening in on my phone calls.
Someone want to tell me why remote shutoff control doesn't sound safe? Image a 30 ton truck full of gasoline or liquid oxygen rolling down I5 at 70 MPH and some 16 year old hacker in norway playing on his computer decides to f#ck with it. Tanker truck engine dies, truck smashes into Silicon valley traffic, tumbles, explodes and kills 200 poor defensless Mercedes drivers. All in the name of national security, right?
Don't question me. You unpatriotic commie. [/rant]
Just a question here: Why don't browsers implement the Torrent protocol? I was thinking about this the other day and it surprises me no one has done it yet. When saving a file in Mozilla, the dialog box showing the download progress could double as a torrent client. When the download is finished, the dialog box will stay open and host the torrent until you close it(unless of course the leecher has the 'Close this window when finished' checkbox clicked).
The proliferation of BitTorrent would happen much quicker if it came with Netscape or Mozilla by default. Questions? Comments? Discussion?
What I think is even funnier, and that no one ever seems to think about:
Microsoft Revenue: $52 Billion Wal Mart Revenue: $244 Billion
Microsoft is big. They aren't that big though. I think it would be a wise business plan for Wal Mart to purchase every outstanding share of Microsoft. MS' profit margin alone(74% in the Office business, according to B. Gates) should make Wal Mart jealous.
You were right the first time. They are extremely stupid. Listen up everyone, THIS IS ILLEGAL. With one caveat, if the company actually owns a patent for this device, than you must pay a royalty(with permission) to recreate one. However, it doesn't seem this is incredibly inventive or creative, so I don't think they'd qualify for a patent on this.
The 'First Sale Doctrine' means you can do whatever you want with something after you buy it. Strangely enough, software seems to be excluded(kind of. But I don't understand why). This is a right, no one can take it away from you(except yourself, by contract). I don't think, if challenged, their EULA would prevent anyone from exercising their right to sell something they've purchased.
Hell, without the First Sale Doctrine, the RIAA would have shut down used CD stores years ago.
I don't think you understand what that means. I live in Washington state and we have our own anti-spam law. If this bill becomes law, I will have two laws at my disposal. I personally could sue a spammer under WA state law, and my ISP could sue under this Federal law(if passed, which it will).
You demonstrate how easy it is for a nuisance to drive people to violence.
For some people, spam is a dangerous or expensive nuisance. It's dangerous for some to even check their e-mail at work anymore because all it takes is one bot to put you on a shitload of lists and get porn in the mailbox. People get fired for that shit. If I got fired for checking my e-mail at work, I'd be a little pissed off.
Try telling a major internet backbone they have to carry an extra terabyte of traffic this month so some spammers can harrass millions of people. To them, it isn't a nuisance. It's money. Bandwidth costs a lot, and spam is the biggest waste of bandwidth ever. BTW, I just made up that terabyte/month figure, but I doubt it's far off. I'm just too lazy to go look up the real estimates.
We don't need more laws with civil liabilities. We need a *real* anti-spam-as-harassment law with real criminal sentences. If I try to unsubscribe to some spam-list I'm on, and all I get in return is more spam, that's harassment. People should go to jail for that shit. IMHO, people can e-mail whoever they want almost whatever they want at least once. But that first one better have a valid return address and the unsubscribe better work. And I don't just mean unsubscribe-me-from-this-list. I want the unsubscribe to affect all lists that are done by this spammer.
Hammer supposedly supports up to 31 CPUs - 32 devices, counting the chipset. I thought I'd heard something about this. It could be that the basic Hammer architecture can support this many processors, but the latest + greatest Opteron only supports 8 processors. If the Opteron came out in a 32-way SMP capable package, AMD might finally get the lucrative big iron contracts they've been wanting for so long but lost to IBM's Power4 servers and the like. There's big money in that sector, and it looks like(right now at least) the AMD64 platform will give a price/performance metric that is unbeatable.
We have done nothing near this scale the worst that has been done is detaining a few dozen Citizens and legal residants for a wekk or two after 9/11. I find the bandwagon just keeps on growing
You have the circumstances skewed. Yes, several dozen citizens have been detained for circumstances assumed to be terrorism(but they don't always say for sure). However, Down south of Florida, there are over 600 assumed terrorists who aren't citizens who have been detained for as much as 22 months without lawyers. Is it legal? Sure. They aren't citizens, and Guantanimo isn't in America so our laws don't apply. How convenient.
What about OSU(Oregon). Oregon State is the coolest of all OSU colleges.
Just a note here: My old high school had a single dedicated 100Mb connection to be used by 122 students and 9 teachers. Several times I'd take my Fujitsu Lifebook in, hook up my PC card ethernet straight up to the school network and download a couple of slackware ISOs. I often averaged 7-9 MB/s (yup. That's megabytes.) That was sweet bandwidth. I think during my four year stay at that high school, I accounted for 95+ percent of the total school bandwidth. Of course, it was all for educational use:)
Actually, look at this from a biological standpoint: A slow lethal viruses like AIDS has the highest mortality rates. Even a highly lethal virus like Ebola(80% mortality) will hit so fast that it doesn't even have time to propagate efficiently. The problem here is that viruses are dumb, they have no ability to regulate themselves based on the activity of other virii cells.
Take this into the computer networking context: A smart virus should be designed to only deliver it's payload when it is incapable of infecting other hosts. Take for example, let's say you have a virus that propagates by emailing everyone on the user's contact list. Let's also say that this is the only method by which it can infect other hosts. It is reasonable to assume then that after all infectious email's have been sent out, that the lethal payload is now an efficient use of this host. Now, let's look at another example of a direct attack virus(no user intervention required) like SQL slammer. If you have ever seen a graph showing the rate of infected hosts over time, you will see that there is a saturation point where almost no new hosts are infected. At this point, they are all contending for network bandwidth at a rate such that they actually kill the network and prevent themselves from succeeding. A smart virus would be programmed to have a kill time; a timer that if runs to zero without a successful infection, means that it is at the end of it's run. This means all the wild virii would be able to detect network saturation pretty close to simultaneously. When a virus can no longer infect other hosts, it should self-destruct. At that point, the only hosts still infected are the newest infections who might still have an opportunity to infect parts of the network that were previously unavailable. After the majority of infected hosts begin killing themselves, the network will begin to fragment and parts of the network will be cut off from the whole. In this way, network capacity could be used completely efficiently.
Note: This is very hypothetical and for educational purposes only. Don't blame me if someone implements it.
