Routers absolutely route it. IT's still IP. It's not something strange or wonderful; it's just an IP packet with the protocol ID field set to '11'.
Have a look at/etc/protocols on your favorite unix system, or just google for ip protocol IDs to see.
It's just something you don't usually hear about because we tend to only use TCP, UDP, and ICMP, and maybe GRE. (protocols 6, 17,1,and 47, respectively).
You can generate IP packets of whatever protocol ID you want and routers SHOULD route them.
A cluster of NT servers in the server room along with your unix servers, etc, and a bunch of remote X stations would be just fine, and much easier to administer than 1000 workstations.
I realized I was thinking of the Xbox...a Playstation is only about $500.
If there's one thing that sucks to buy here it's electronics. Everyone just buys them from the states and sends them here.. way cheaper. It's rather silly.
but this doesn't ban them from the show.. it just revokes their press pass. Well that is NORMAL. Press passes are handed out to those whom you want to report on the activities.
Nothing is stopping any of these poeple from going to the show and reporting on everything anyway.
What is it with people expecting privacy in a rented house or apartment? It's not yours, you don't own it. It belongs to someone else, and they can do whatever they want. Hidden cameras, show up at 3am to hang out, whatever. If you want privacy, buy your own house.
What he says is very practical. It's rediculous to assume that every economic transaction should involve tons of legalese and a contract that you ahve to study beforehand to make sure you aren't getting fucked.
Renting a car is a simple, common occurrance. You walk up, fill out your name and stuff, and take off with a car. He's damn right that adding something like this is just screwing over customers.
If it's about protecting their cars... why aren't their insurance companies backing it? Do they get cheaper premiums for doing it? No? Then how is it protecting their cars?
The absolute last thing MS wants is for a university to be able to buy a handful of Windows servers to put in the back room and manage centrally while the labs go on using X terminals.
That doesn't force them into investing heavily in MS infrastructure.. so what's the point.
He knows that. What he's referring to is the ability of software like eXceed and Xwin/32 to use Windows as a window manager; so X becomes transparent. You get a little systray icon you can pop up for settings/security, etc, and other than that, windows just appear like normal windows windows to be maximized/minimized whatever.
okay.. I havent' read the 10Gbit standard, so I'm sort of talking out my ass.. but... if it follows the way 10 & 100 worked..
This is another one of those "Why you can't transmit at 10Gbs from a single computer over 10Gbps ethernet" posts.
First, realize that the 'speed' of ethernet reflects the maximum use of the broadcast medium at maximum capacity. A medium designed for multiple conversations going on at once.
Example: There is a mandatory 9.6 microsecond gap between attemps to transmit frames on the ethernet (this is a minimum limit). In 10Mbps, this is 96 bits worth of time. In 100, it's 960.. if they do the same in 1000, tht's 9600 bits.
So think of that as a per-frame penalty.
If the frame size stays the same.. the mandatory inter-frame gap is about 6 times the size of the data payload now. (okay, so maybe it's different now..). If this IS the case... what's the point of of 10Gbps? More hosts, no switches. That's right.
Actually... it was not designed to make them type slow specifically, but was designed so that the strikers for letters that often followed each other were widely spaced to prevent jamming.
Dvorak can be somewhat faster, but more improtantly, it's more comfortable. The difference is often exaggerated.
Doubtful. The Amiga ran circles around everything in it's heyday.
I do recall many Desktop-Publishing guys buying Atari-ST machines and using mac emulators, instead of purchasing macs, because it was actually faster than the mac, for less money (and more fun).
I seem to recall the ST was like a half an amiga;) Yet another cool computer to remember.
I think maybe AmigaOS is an RTOS, so you don't end up with messages stuck in queues and such, waiting for things to happen after you asked them to? Not sure.
An RTOS is not faster; average kernel latency is actually higher, but it's entirely predictable.. so user interfaces can be designed to be have precisely how you want them to.
I agree.. an old amiga still feels really responsive. It's amazing.
I don't think this is a side effect of the metric conversion... though I do agree we tend to do that a lot.
Why?
I have *no* trouble dealing with metric. I have since I was a baby. It's just easier for me to think "It took me an hour to drive to that place" rather than "it's 110km".
Also, time is more relevant. When someone asks how far something is, they really mean, how long will it take them to get there. So for instance, it's 117km (or something near that) from Kamloops to Salmon Arm, (British Columbia) you can drive it in about an hour if you speed a little.
Here, it's 100KM from San Jose to Jaco (Costa Rica), but it'll take you at least 2 hours to drive it due to the curvy mountain roads and all the slow trucks, not to mention the potholes. So when a visitor comes and says "How far away is that surfing beach? I want to go surfing" I'm gonna say "a couple hours".
and the end conclusion was not that we follow a 25 hour cycle. It was stated at a time in the projec that it appeared that way, but later study revealed the true reason for the apparent cycle.. it was the lighting system in the living quarters interfering with things.
There is a great book called "The Promise of Sleep". I forget the author. Highly recommended.
In short: Our sleep cycle is based on a 24 hour day. We need 8 hours of sleep a night. Period. If you don't get 8 hours, you incur sleep-debt, which gets paid off. Every hour of missed sleep will be recovered at some point, even a month later. Long term studies show this clearly.
Those who claim they live on 4 hours a night may not even realize that they either crash hard a couple days a week, and probably take catnaps/microsleeps during the day.
I could argue that, at the energy levels we live at, say, here on earth, there ARE such things as elementary particles, more or less. The fact that if you raise the energy level high enough they break apart into different things.. well..
It's not really like a bunch of marbles stuck together. A few 'quarks' *become* a proton once the energy level drops far enough (and the right stuff is present).
Yes, it's all just a model, and we all know it's nto finished yet.. (and I suspect it never, ever will be. It's turtles, all the way down)
IT's 365 days a year (366 on a leap year) or 365.25249 or whatever it is.. I forget.
Metric time proposed by the french was 10 metric hours a day 100 metric minutes an hour 100 metric seconds a minute
10 days per metric week 3 weeks per month. 12 months a year.
and 5 'nameless days' (or 6 on a leap year I think) during which there are no days of the week or anything.. just partytime.
Problem is...
a metric second and minute are still more or less the same time (not implying they are anywhere near exact, but they are not so wildly differnet htan our normal minutes and seconds that the phrase 'be there in a minute' or 'just a second' lose their meaning.
But metric hours are long. and a 10 day week is crazy.
Well.. sorry to really disappoint... but that same command line works just fine in windows, if you have perl installed.
Or I could do it easily in one of my favorite text editors, which I would probably be using anyway. Codewright, or UltraEdit32.
Codewright specifically has a perl interpreter built in...
Yes, these are commercial, okay. But the lack of ability to do something is related to poor tool selection, not the OS itself. It just ahppens that most linx distributions come with perl as an integral part, and windows does not.

Block ICMP too, except for the TCP_FRAGMENTATION_REQUIRED messages, otherwise you cripple TCP a bit.
Routers absolutely route it. IT's still IP. It's not something strange or wonderful; it's just an IP packet with the protocol ID field set to '11'.

you just aren't used to thinking that way.

Can it?
I think perhaps, in current NT kernels, you can't execute code out of the data segment.
And you can't modify the text segment.
So maybe one loader reads it into data, checks it out, then permits actual execution.
Under Dos & Win9x, this would be trivial.. I think under NT it's going to be harder.
Yeah.
RDESKTOP Is an RDP client, not an RDP -> X translator.
Yes, there are citrix clients, but again, that's not an RDP -> X translator.

THey are $199? Man.
The thieves here are still trying to charge about $900.
Yeah.. well... true, and not true.
.yeah. That's getting rediculous.
I said that too, until I tried XP.
Sure, it's a bit candy coated. IT also has a lot of UI design that makes WAY MORE sense.
It has built in terminal services for administration.
It works better with my laptop. Better with removable devices.
It doesn't make me reboot all the time.
It has ClearType. That is the primary reason I upgraded.
Now.. of course, Office.
Except.. Office XP runs smoother and faster than 2000
Not like it's gonna happen, though.

Bandwidth is the cure for switching.
Not really, a quake server would still get the same amount of traffic.

That left 5 days that don't fit, which were not given name and reserved for partying.
