Innovative it is not. The Linux recipe for this is to boot using knoppix, chroot to the main system, run tripwire/aide/chkrootkit/etc. and see if anything gets flagged.
The difference is that you don't need to run the ms program on a regular basis in order to build the database. The MS program will create 2 md5 databases and compare them to see if you've been infected. Although you could do that with tripwire, that really isn't what was designed for.
Cubes are different since they are essentially mutual funds that trade as stocks. Just like spiders (SPDR). In any case, most traders would recognize QQQQ as being special
Don't forget to factor in that being short exposes you to unlimited financial risk. They could briefly peak the value somehow and then call in the shorts. (I didn't claim that the method would actually be legal...I don't beleive that they worry about such things.
At worst, your broker will make a margin call and close out your position as well as take equities/cash from your market account to make the difference. So no, although there is a theoretical risk of unlimited losses, the practical risk of that is zero.
In any case, if you want to avoid that you can always get put options and sell them when the stock falls sufficiently.
My GeForce2 MX 400 is looking long in the tooth too.
It's perfectly adequate for pumping mythtv to my widescreen ( with a line doubler ), so I'd like to dedicate it to that.
That said, the 6800LE is $250?! What's the best sub $75 3d card for x.org? Still the GeForce2?
Get a ATI 8500 or a 9200. Both are full supported with 3d acceleration using the x.org drivers since the specs are available. I think you'll get better performance than with your gf2 mx400. If you want something faster then you'll need to go with a nvidia card since the ati binary drivers suck.
I still maintain that pure water will not conduct electricity. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a non-destructive method of measuring the resistance, since the introduction of electrodes will tend to contaminate the source.This is probably theoretical,however, if one defines the term "pure" as having NO contaminants, there can be no conductivity.
I just said that water naturally auto-ionizes to H+ and OH- ions (actually the actual structures are more complex but they are still ions). Even if you can magically remove every ion from a sample of water and get put it in a totally non-reactive container, you will get H+ and OH- ions back in the water in a few seconds due to the interactions of water molecules.
The ions are charge carriers and will allow a electrical current to flow. The resistance will be very high but it will flow.
There is one thing I would like to see RedHat do. (They might have already done this and I just havent read anything about it. But I dont think they have) I would like them to come out with some sort of syncronization manager so that some company using say RHEL 3 could allow employees at home running say FC3, to syncronize, making sure both are using the same gcc, libc, and other libraries so that executables could be portable. Would that even be possible?
That's not going to happen. The reason to run FC3 is that is has newer versions of the kernel, glibc, g++, etc. that give you nice things like better hardware support, selinux, newer x.org etc. Your sync manager would downgrade the client machine killing the reason to use fedora core and possibly rendering it unusable (e.g. app a requires features found in kernel 2.6 but you just got downgraded to kernel 2.4). The other alternative would be to upgrade the server possibly rendering the server unstable.
If you need full binary compatibility, you need to run the same version of the same distribution or install compatibility libraries and pray for the best.
Define "supported." Debian supports Oracle so I'm using it.
The poster probably means supported as in being able to call up Oracle and have them send down an engineer to personally help fix the problem when your Oracle db starts eating data/acting weird. Hell, the poster probably would even settle for being able to call up Oracle and getting them to help solve a problem without having them saying that you need to reproduce the problem under RHEL or SuSe before they'll look at the problem.
Right now if you call up Oracle and try to get them to help fix your problem based on your support contract they'll probably tell you to install it on RHEL or Suse and come back if the problem is still there.
People on this thread have been hammering Redhat and Suse like these companies own Linux. Yes, Debian and Gentoo aren't huge companes with hundreds of programmers sitting at the edge of their seats ready to help you and instantly fix security bugs, but neither are the big guys. Redhat and Suse/Novell are Linux "Packagers". They put together a bunch of open source software written by everyone from paid full time programmers to 15 years olds in their basement.
That might have been true a few years back but it's no longer true. Redhat employs Alan Cox, Ulrich Drepper (glibc), Tom Lane (postgresql) and quite a few other glibc, kernel, gcc, and application developers to write code. They help get the code ready and apply/develop any patches necessary to get software stable and bug free. Suse/Novell employs similar big names (Miguel de Icaza, etc.) to help in developing and fixing their releases.
With Suse or Redhat if you have a problem after installing Oracle, I'm sure they will work with you and Oracle to get the problem fixed. And less that may involve the developers on staff at Redhat or Suse to work on it and come up with fixes.
"Pure water actually has a high amount of electrical resistance"...
Actually, pure water has infinitely high resistance...
No it doesn't. Water auto-ionizes into H+ and OH- ions at a low but detectable concentrations. Pure water has a resistance of about 18 megaohms/cm but it is fairly hard to keep at that purity. For example a platinum electrode will dissolve slightly in pure water and contaminate it. An iridium-platinum allow doesn't I think.
So, you would first need a motherboard that gives you 32 lanes. I don't believe one currently exists.
One of the new tyan motherboards for dual opterons has 32 pci-e lanes. It has two Nforce4 chipsets on board giving it two pci-e slots with the full 16 lanes each. Of course the board costs something like $500-$700.
And what about joints, could they handle the extra stress of markedly increased muscle strength? Like you go to pick up your car and your arms pop out of their sockets.
Which is why the next step is obviously artifical bones, ligaments, and tendons.
It seems that there is no NTVDM (WOW) for
running DOS or Windows 3.x applications.
Is it possible install 16-bit
subsystem manually using files
from 32-bit Windows XP?
Neither of the 64 bit modes on the AMD64 or EMT64 processors support running 16bit processes. It's a hardware limitation which probably saved a bit of transistors and helped clean up the design a bit.
If you want to run 16bit programs in 64bit mode, you'll need to emulate the cpu or due some heavy duty virtulaziation.
that fellow wasn't trying to sound "leet", he even said he was a better-than-average pirate...
Yes, he was. He was claiming to have half a terabyte of memory. With standard 2GB modules (the highest capacity listed at pricewatch) , you need 256 memory slots to get 512GB of memory. A system that supports that would be in the the same class as a Sun E10K or E15K, i.e. $500,000-$1,500,000+ for "barebone" base configurations. Not something an above average pirate would have.
He was more likely confusing hard drive space with memory marking him as a poser since only people relatively unknowledgable with computers make that sort of mistake.
I bet you don't even see "really annoying bugs", do you?
Try the firewire support in 2.6. On some systems it would lock up the kernel so the fedora people had to disable it for quite a while. Also look at the cd recording breakage in 2.6.7 - 2.6.9 , some of the kernel changes broke cd recording apps like xcdroast and k3b.
You can use dump and give the user read on the device file. I know dump is depreceated, but it works there.
Actually dump won't work. Due to changes in the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, dump won't get a consistent picture of the filesystem. Linus's comment seems to suggest dump doesn't get the right things from the buffer and page cache. Given that dump doesn't backup your data correct, it's worthless.
It does look a good bit like an ME-163, although the 163 was ground launched.
Spaceship One's wings are totally different. Spaceship One has squarish wings with the a slightly swept back leading edge and vertical and horizontal control elements and no tail. The ME-163 has wings swept back at a higher angle and a tail. The only real similiarity is the shape of the fuselage. Your comparison is like saying a mac g4 and a p3 system are similar because they both have 256MB of RAM.
Space Ship One did is 50 years out of date. Nothing new just a shift from public to private sector. Plus its a rip off of a luftwaffe design.
Although I agree that Space Ship One isn't a technological advance, I didn't realize the luftwaffe had a suborbital vehicle that was launched from a plane. Not to mention the craft's use of different wing configurations to orient itself on descent and as control surfaces later on in descent.
No, an order of magnitude is an exponential change in the value, never the unit. And, unless a base has been specified (i.e., 10 or 2 or 5 or 60 or something), the only one you can universally assume is e.
You can say what you like, but the commonly accepted usage in the physics (and most likely the physical sciences and mathematics) has an order of magnitude being equivalent to a factor of 10. So two orders of magnitude would be 100. I've never seen anyone use two orders of magnitude = e^2 before.
I don't believe that schools are on the opposite side of the coin. I'm talking about government waste of money, which is true in all countries. Seeing how a few thousand people have died, I don't think they should worry about attending school anymore.
Schools and other programs are on the other side of the coin. Given a limited amount of funds, using funds for a tsunami warning network would take away from the amount you can devote to other public services.
A warning network wouldn't be cheap either since you need to setup buoys several hundreds and/or thousands of kilometers out to see, monitor and analyze uplinks for the buoys and regularly service and replace the buoys. The funds for these could probably be used to set up and fund public health programs (vaccinations, public hosipitals, etc) or for some other social good.
Given that the last tsunami in SE Asia/Indian subcontinent was in the 1890s, I can't fault the governments involved in prioritizing other needs first.
I understand that funding and related politics may hinder such a warning system, but feel it is in the interest of those countries - as well as humanity in general - to take every step to lessen the impact of such disasters.
Those funds don't appear out of nowhere. The governments involved probably had a choice of setting up a system to warn of tsunamis or of running schools, encouraging local businesses, aids prevention campaigns, etc. Given the choice between the two and the rarity of tsunamis in SE asia where would you spend the scarce funds that are available?
Surely the Ati FireGL 8800/8700 would be better? Hard to find though. Or what about the Radeon 9200? That's surely available clocked higher than the older 8500.
The 9200s are faster but they only apply a single texture in each op while the 8500 can handle 2 textures. The 9200s do have a better geometry unit and slightly better bandwidth/fill rates. But the 8500 engine edges out the 9200 cards.

I think it's the job of the windows manager, such as metacity, to implement the new xorg extensions not the graphics toolkit.
How is the window manager going to change the way an application handles menus and similar things? The window manager deals with the window borders around the application and placement of windows and not with the stuff the application displays within a window.
Ideally both the graphics toolkit and the window manager need to support the xorg extensions to get the best results.
Yeah, I bet University of Chicago students are wholly incompetent. Practically remedial arithmetic students with that group.
Although I appreciate your compliment about University of Chicago, I'd like to point out that DJB teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There's a slight difference there (~30 nobel prizes or so), although I think UIC students probably are nothing to sneeze at either.
