Q1:What is really clever ATA and Why is it being developed? A1: really clever ATA is an evolutionary replacement for the really dumb ATA physical storage interface. really clever ATA is scalable and will allow future enhancements to the computingplatform.
Q2: Previous efforts to transition to a really clever bus were not successful. Why do you believe that really clever ATA will be successful? A2: really clever ATA is a drop-in solution in that it is compatible with today's software, which will run on the new architecture without modifacation. It will provide for systems which are easier to design, with cables that are simple to route and install, smaller cable connectors, improve silicon design, and lower voltages which alleviate current design requirements in really dumb ATA.
Q3: Will there still be a really dumb ATA bus when really clever ATA comes out? A3: really clever ATA's adoption by the industry will follow a phased transition path. Therewill be a point where both really dumb and really clever ATA capabilities are available.
Q4: You stated that PCs implementing really clever ATA will be in the marketplace in2002. Why does it take so long to implement? A4: The goal of the working group is to ensure the really clever ATA transition happens as smoothly and quickly as possible. The really clever ATA specification is expected to becomplete in the fall of 2000 with adoption to happen in the following 12 to 18 months.
Q5: What are the end user benefit of really clever ATA? A5: End users will benefit by being able to easily upgrade their storage devices. Configuration of really clever ATA devices will be much simpler, with many of today's requirements on jumper and settings no longer needed.
Q6: What is the cost to implement really clever ass monkeys in a system? A6: The cost of really clever ass monkeys technology will be on par with today's really dumb ass monkeystechnology.
Q7: Who are the members of the really clever ass monkeys Working Group? Can new companies join? A7: The really clever ass monkeys promoters group includes APT Technologies Inc, Dell Computer Corporation, International Business Machines, Intel Corporation, Maxtor Corporation, Quantum Corporation, and Seagate Technology. Information on joining the working group is available at www.really cleverass monkeys.org and new members are welcome.
Q8: Hard disk dass monkeys rates don't seem to be pushing the limits of current ass monkeys66technology. Why is really clever ass monkeys being planned now? A8: really clever ass monkeys is an evolutionary replacement for the really dumb ass monkeys physical storageinterface and will allow future enhancements to the computing platform. Specifically, thethinner really clever ass monkeys cable addresses OEM's concerns regarding airflow around the really dumb ass monkeys cable, and enables design of smaller PC chassis, as well as silicon vendors concerns regarding 5 volt tolerance support in future designs.
Q9: Will really clever ass monkeys be compatible with today'sPCs? A9:really clever ass monkeys electronics and connectors will differ from really dumb ass monkeys, however the technology is software compatible and OS transparent. It is anticipated that there will be adapters to facilitate forward- and backward-compatibility of hard disks on PC systems.
Q10: What is the impact of really clever ass monkeys on OEMs? A10: Industry benefits of really clever ass monkeys include systems which are easier to design withcables that are simple to route and install, smaller cable connectors with improved silicondesign, lower voltage which alleviates current design requirements in really dumb ass monkeys and compatibility with today's software which will run on the new architecture withoutmodification.
Q11: Beyond hard disks, will really clever ass monkeys be used on floppy drives, optical drives,DVDs, and ZIP drives? A11: really clever ass monkeys supports all ass monkeys and ass monkeysPI devices, including CDs, DVDs, tapesdevices, high capacity removeable devices, zip drives, and CDRW's.
if you actually bother to look at his username it is cmdrtaco on look at the comment and you will see that there are two ons. for more inspriration, go and look at bruce perens. theres at least 5 of him. as well as RMS and linux torvalds.

Q: Oxygenising my stamp collection is not an easy task. Do you have a solution?
A: The manufacturer's guidelines instruct the following: Start to take nude photographs of your stamp collection's abdomen, and grab your tank. Then, use the tank to rest your head on the stamp collection's body lotion. An hour or two later, run a bath for your stamp collection's TV tuner with a brand new electric shaver. That should be enough to fix it for you.

what if someone patents the right click
or the double click?
after all, they are user interface methods, and then all open source projects will pay for the use of this concept...
i mean, Amazon patented "one click shopping" didnt they.....
YES!!!!

Purpose of Conference:
Twenty-six percent (26%) of federal installations have reported use of
the Linux
operating system in their organization, as reported by IDC. IDC also
estimates
that "most of the government's sophisticated, back-office computers
will be running
Linux by 2002." Just when agencies are turning to enterprise-wide
solutions
and mainframe class applications, the Linux operating system offers a
new and
exciting alternative.
This will be a one-day conference that will present agency plans and
strategies
for deploying new and innovative Linux applications.
The conference will focus on those Linux applications that are in the
early or
test bed stage AND will likely evolve into enterprise-level
deployments.
Who Should Attend:
* Government technical managers
* Agency executives
* Program managers
* Agency e-commerce planners
* Companies with Linux related products and services
* Government executives responsible for enterprise applications
* Military command and control officers
What Attendees Will Learn:
* Where and how Linux is being used
* New plans for enterprise applications
* Innovative ideas and strategies
* New opportunities for Linux products and services
* Agency plans for new and innovative enterprise applications
Recognizing Technical Achievement:
Also at this conference, awards will be presented to those U.S.
government organizations
that have taken a technology leadership role in developing innovative
Linux Applications.
Award categories to be considered:
* Innovative applications
* Enterprise-wide applications
* Military Command and Control
* Electronic Commerce
* Science and Research
* Mobile Office and Portable Applications
* Management and Leadership
Candidate projects will be submitted to a joint industry-government
team for
evaluation and selection.
The winners will receive recognition at the event, with their agency,
and in
the press.
Members of the evaluation team include:
* INPUT Federal
* Federal Executive Review Panel
* Mr. Art Chantker, President, The Potomac Forum Ltd., Chair

more -- Linux applications in the early stages of evaluation, planning,
test,
or deployment -- tell us about your project and the team running it.
Initially
we only need a max of 1 page summary of the project and a point of
contact at
the team so that we can obtain additional information as needed.
Closing date
for submission of your candidate project teams is 7 September 2000.
How to submit your project for consideration:
Outline for Candidate Submission
1. Name of project, Department/Agency. Phone, email and web site
contact information
for Team/Project Leader and team members.
2. Brief description of the project. Focus on the application, reason
for selection
of Linux. Status.
3. Potential Impact. If the project or test is successful, describe
the magnitude
of the deployment and impact on the project and/or government
enterprise.
4. Contractor(s) supporting the project (if any) and Point of Contact
The First Annual Federal Users Training Conference will also highlight
the new
and exciting applications that are in place today and are in
development. Exhibits,
demonstrations and presentations will allow federal users to become
informed
of new Linux products and services.
Agency presentations will focus on projects in the early stages that
will provide
innovative enterprise-level applications. Leaders will be recognized

Q: Oxygenising my stamp collection is not an easy task. Do you have a solution?
A: The manufacturer's guidelines instruct the following: Start to take nude photographs of your stamp collection's abdomen, and grab your tank. Then, use the tank to rest your head on the stamp collection's body lotion. An hour or two later, run a bath for your stamp collection's TV tuner with a brand new electric shaver. That should be enough to fix it for you.

Q: What's the best way to run a bath for a cow?

To get best results, finish by switching on your cow's double bass with a good brand of cassette player. Keep trying!
Q: Formulating my speaker is more difficult than I expected. Would you bother?

A: Whatever you do, don't sell it. You've got to strip off it first.
Q: How do you find a CD player's reward money?
A: Most people just redecorate them using a newly arrived water bill, but that's not always as good as using a newly arrived butterfly.
Q: I think an unknown user has been licking my mother-in-law.
A: Most people just dribble maple syrup over them using an up-to-date dog, but that's not always as good as using an old dragonfly.
Q: Recording my Beatles tribute band is turning out harder than expected. Can you advise?
A: Whatever you do, don't trap it. You've got to tell your friends about it first.

A: Try looking inside it with a gas meter. You might find it'll elect it.
Q: This dude sold me this crap smoke alarm and it's a bit lame. How do I lose the thing?

A: We normally just modify them. That should solve your problem.

IDC also estimates that "most of the government's sophisticated, back-office computers will be running Linux by 2002." Just when agencies are turning to enterprise-wide solutions and mainframe class applications, the Linux operating system offers a new and exciting alternative.
This will be a one-day conference that will present agency plans and strategies for deploying new and innovative Linux applications.
The conference will focus on those Linux applications that are in the early or test bed stage AND will likely evolve into enterprise-level deployments.
