You forget speed. Bandwidth and speed have a lot to do with this together. First you must understand that the faster the processor (not in raw megahertz, but actual performance), the faster it can take data from the RAM. Your goal is to make sure that the RAM can provide it fast enough. RDRAM works by pushing a lot, but it does it rather slower. This means you end up waiting 3 clock cycles (that's NOT a valid number, it's an example) to get the data, but you get a shitload of it once it comes. DDR, however, uses a lower bandwidth (and I should note here that bandwidth is probably NOT the right term - though I can't think of what is), but a faster speed. It's akin to sending food by semis vs. sending it by cars. The semis are slower and take longer to load, but the cars are faster and take less time - even though they don't hold as much. Get cars that load and drive fast enough and you won't have to worry about capacity (and fuel economy and operator salaries don't really matter here either - computer's don't care about that).
Another person who replied to your was right - stop spreading FUD and KNOW before you speak (yeah, I've been guilty of it too - but learn!).
The P4 wasn't designed for any particular memory - but the initial chipsets designed for it were. Newer chipsets now existt hat are designed for DDR rather than RDRAM, and that's what matters for memory format (besides, try to switch the two and THEN see what happens!).
Yup, that's true. I'm sure I fudged my explanation a bit (late at night and typing a small essay), but you're correct. However, I find that most people don't get that. When you getting into anything of that magnitude people just look at you and go "huh?" So I avoided saying that directly.
Wow, I never thought I'd give a lecture on economics...
The wealth DOESN'T evaporate. Stock is a medium between cash and physical assets. When you start a sole proprietorship, you invest in the business by buying things like desks and chairs and employee salaries out of your own pocket. Your return on investment (revenue-expenses=profit >/dev/pocket) is analogous to dividends. Now, move up to a partnership. Same thing basically, but multiple investors and therefore votes on how that investment is spent (ideally anyway). Next, jump to a corporation: EXACT same thing as a partnership with these mere differences: you're only limited to what you explicitly invest, you can't actually sell off what you invested in (only the holding on it, the stock - unless you get a majority of voting shares to agree), and it's possible to not have a controlling interest. That's what stock is, and yes - you needed to know it to understand what follows.
Here's where people get confused: Stocks are an asset like anything else. My computer is an easy example. I may consider it to be worth $5k, but Bob might only be willing to stick $3k for it. People, expecting a return on their investment, will be willing to pay just so much for something. Stock prices are basically the price of what people are willing to pay to buy the all the stock, just as my Linksys router is as high a price as the manufacturer can get away with. Somebody might be willing to sell me one for only $50, or I may decide to hoard as many as I can and people seeing an opportunity in this will offer it for $200, which I might be willing to pay for it. Now, what if tommorow a major unfixable bug was discovered in all the linky's that the manufacturer couldn't fix and wouldn't replace? Now nobody is willing to pay for them. I'm basically out what I spent. Now this is what almost nobody understands - I DIDN'T LOSE THAT MONEY, I spent it like I would on anything else. Whoever sold me that stock (the linky) got $X dollars. I've already lost it. It didn't evaporate, it just changed hands. Look above to understand how the supposed "value" of a stock fluctuates, but it's really nothing more than what other people value it at.
So, why do people become "broke" if they've already parted with their money? Imagine taking out a loan on your car. Because your car is an asset, you can have equity on it. No more than what other people value it at (Blue Book being the definitive guide here), but it's there. People use equity on their stocks just like they do on their car. But if you crash the car... you know what happens. Equity in a stock is just the same thing - only it's not on what you own, it's on what the business owns. Just like if I opened a convenience store and took a mortgage on the building.
Wait, so you messed up and left your relay open allowing hords of spam to be sent that had to travel through their system on the way out. So in order to stop spam from flowing all throughout their system, they shut you down. Because you've now made a very foolish mistake and did something that is heavily frowned upon, they're not in the mood to risk letting somebody who makes that mistake do the same thing on their network. They're willing to provide service, but want to their problems down so they give you a second chance on their terms. And you think that's inappropriate?
This obviously has nothing to do with dropped connections, etc.; but I hope that it's not your main reason for calling them shitty...
DoS attacks can be anything really. Ping floods, Syn floods, X-mas tree packets, HTTP requests that overload a daemon rather than the whole server, or just plain bandwidth flooding... Besides, turning off ICMP is not good, it has the potential to break shit.
Me, yesterday. And I don't live in China - but I know they're pretty fucked up.
A country that bans GTA 3 from it's citizens because of what you can do in it that is not part of the story line is dealing with some rather stupid politicians (yeah, we have that problem in America too)...
Seems to me that Australia is well on it's way to beating China at Internet control. You think perhaps Kazaa moving / being sold to a company in Australia might cause a nasty problem?
Makes sense or not, trespass is entering without authorization. Trespass can be walking through your neighbor's lawn if he so wishes. So yeah, it makes sense...
This is more a redirect of my earlier post, but...
It ought to be the responsibility of the highest level SysAdmin to create these policies. Ebay is likely in a different position than most companies in that there IT system is there business, but for most corporations, the computers are a support system. Managers are supposed to be focused on things like marketing and budgets, etc. That is what managerial training is. Security policies are more on the technical side and ought to be decided by somebody who has the competance for it. Not to say that "suits" are incompetant, just to say that they are not usually proficient in IS.
No, curse the world for it. The sysadmins are supposed to be the ones who are competent enough to know what they're doing. And since when is management regularly in a position to understand these things? That's like letting lab monkeys pick there diet for an experiment.
Note: for those of you watching the moderation scandal stories, the parent to this shot up 3 points in ahout 2 seconds...
It's not fun, it's flexibility (and I approve of the airport very much - that feature it quite nice). However, my interest is more along the lines of actual firewalling (and many things that often bleed into it) such as port restricions, QoS, and redirection. Sure, the smart thing to do is buy computer and underclock the proc while sticking a WLan card in it, but this would cost less...
Who stands in a position to actually say "Hey, you gotta tell your citizens how they're allowed to listen to stuff or WE^H^HI won't let them listen to it." I'm a US citizen, and the theory is that I have a say in this. And I suspect most people really aren't interested in pushing for this sort of thing - so why is it there?
Really? What if it was a house instead. Maybe even a city block. Run up to your room for your home directory (Lift mattress for pr0n, but remember to have your decryption disk in the drive...)!
Perhaps so, perhaps not. I've had situations where I can run down the list of everything I've done, and basically be "hired" (yeah, pending interview, blah, blah, blah - but they are really interested). Of course, it's obligatory to mention how young I am. It's also a quick way to end a conversation and watch a job disappear. No interview, no interest, no further info. You're how old? Good bye.
Microsoft releases only binary files. They would be executable only on the PowerPC architecture, and hence wouldn't help out people running Linux on any other sort of architecture.
To run Office on a Linux system (or *BSD, or Sun), you'd have to basically reverse-engineer EVERYTHING about Microsoft office. This is because it is not Posix, and not written to use any sort of X system. As said before, all the calls that would be made to the Mac API.
People commenting on your pipes getting clogged should note that in this sort of a system, the water running through the pipes should stay in the pipes and release its heat by running the pipes into the fish tank and coiling them like a radiator from your car (back and forth at least twice).
I've never tried doing this with a CPU, and am not sure what your fish can tolerate. Find out what the ideal temp for the fish is, then stick them in a smaller tank and run your CPU on full tilt (think SETI@home or the Bovine project) for 24 hours. Watch the temp of the CPU and the tank. Your CPU should have some setup to bring itself down if the temp gets too high, and this fish tank really won't matter too much because you won't have the fish in it - right?
It should be fine, even with a smaller tank. A 55 gallon tank ought be near nothing. For tank lighting (if you do that), get some lights that don't generate heat. You should also have a tank heater if your fish needed it before. You CPU running at it's max constantly should still not come within more than one degree of what the fish is willing to tolerate.

Doesn't stop bandwidth flooding, which sounds like it's the case here. Once the firewall fell, rate limiting quit working as well so...
Should have turned off outside access to the firewall itself too. So much for tightening it!
