Pathchar - It sends multiple ICMP Packages of diferent sizes to diferent hosts and it shows you how much bandwidth you get. Don't confuse with throughput...
Install it and give it a try. It's the smartest tool that I have used so far.
"My general feeling is that long hours is generally a symptom of poor project management"
Actually long hours are good project management but the project manager needs to understand that there will be a huge loss in effectiveness and the more overtime hours somebody works, the less effective they are. If that is not accounted for, that is bad project management.
First, I think it is the worst thing to do is to project plan your life. Your life is a life and not a project where you have to deal with providing the vision to people.
What really counts is that you should like your job and give a little more then you are asked for. That accumulates. A lot. That gives you self-confidence. If you loose your self-confidence and don't do anything to recover it you are doomed to fail or never fulfill your dreams. Dreams are dreams and not deliverables!
I really hate to hear about security bugs related to SSL and anything that has to do with my personal credit cards.
Does this really mean that people that weren't ment to might have my credit card numbers now?
Should everybody have to get replacement credit cards now? It is the banks that will eat the loss but in reality it should be Microsoft. It is their fault for giving me a fake sense of security due to false advertising!
Dyna-Flex PowerlBall Gyro. It makes cool lights and it is also meant to eliminate the main physical problem we are all exposed to: carpal-tunnel. I can't even describe how quick my fingers fly on the keyboard and mouse after using it. It also provides a very cool way of tracking your progress with data that looks almost like process utilization metrics.
I love my Dyna-Flex PowerlBall Gyro gadget. I wouldn't wonder if in a few years you'll see gyro engines popping out on the market. It's a very cool technology.
A good link for everybody that disagrees: Est. % of population with access to improved sanitation facilities in rural India is 14%.
Why is it that people find it more important to research into going to the moon then research on how to build toilets? It doesn't make any economic sense unless you have a toilet and love it when people aren't allowed to look up to you on the street.
Linux is not a product. It is a complex system that makes computer hardware work properly. It exists mainly because of it's natural environment. Linux coders want to mainly make thing work right for themselves. They share it with others because they are not in the business of creating OS's.
Check salary survey results on dice and see how much more money Unix professionals make compared to Windows professionals.
Measures that would be nice to see are measures on the line of return on investment using Linux or FreeBSD compared to Windows.
Considering the cost of Spam on the Hotmail system I wonder why a company like Microsoft won't spend a few bucks to make everybody in the world not even want to think about spamming.
That 80% is probably only what they catch using the Junk Mail filters. I get a lot more that I don't even report because of how much of it I get.
There would be no way I would spend a dollar on increasing my Hotmail account size considering the circumstances I mentioned. That's lost $$$$ for MS
Slashdot Mirror
I don't see any mention of IA-64 or Unix/Linux ...
If you are looking for a assembly book that is fun to read and goes into Linux details try: "Assembly Language Step by Step"
The Ultimate Home Theater
This 20-person home theater earned Escient Solutions an award for "Best Home Theatre Electronic System Design Over $150,000"
At over 150K with no upper limit, any home theater could be best.
They ported a x86 OS to Apple hardware and now they are porting it back.
Does this mean that the RISC/CISC battle is over with CISC winning?
Other then that, it would be nice to have an user friendly Unix based modular OS for x86.

Besides SPEC Benchmarks I don't trust any other ones.
They need a SPECquake.
Their business is in Russia. Russia doesn't have anything to do with the DMCA neither will they ever.
Maybe that's the reason there are so many financially poor scientists in Russia.
You have to come to an agreement with the patent owner!
If he doesn't want to come to an agreement, you post their contact info on Slashdot so they can be driven crazy by anti-patent nazis.
This is the other way around on Casio.
The Cassiopeia has a 64-bit NEC processor that is forced down to 32-bit by Casio. But at least they don't advertise it as 64 bit.
If you really want Palm OS, get a Sony CLIE which has colors that do seem more alive then the Palm colors!
Very nice to see that it separates the memory used for cache from the rest of memory usage.
There's no way that somebody can be so drunk that they fly into buildings like the the World Trade Center.

This could finally provide an answer to the "Where do you want to go today?" commercials.

News with the title "India plans to raise from poverty and have a middle class" would be more interesting.
Pretty easy to maintain as long as nobody takes pictures of them.
"if you wear a colorful, fanciful hat, decorated with bells and chimes, and prance about most amusingly"
Or more likely because MIT has better lawyers then Microsoft can dream of. I believe the word inappropriate meant illegal.

The main reason I never used it is that I didn't know about it. That is until now of course.

I wouldn't rely any of my data on a battery. :)
Not even a bad picture!
