  1. Re:How to do this in Linux on Recovering Secret HD Space · · Score: 1

    depends, ext2 should be fine but most journaled fs's will not be happy.

    Just use `mount --bind /old /new` and be over with it.

    mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdb1

    Tada! now when you `df` you'll have twice as much total space!

  7. Re:That is a slick tool.. haven't heard of it befo on Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders · · Score: 2, Informative

    nope, IPtables will probably crap out. Use NF-HIPAC which is basically a binary tree table instead of a linear one. I use it to classify everything going through my box as either local campus, Internet2, or general internet. I have around 5000 matches and it works great. Also the perl module NetAddr::IP and it's function NetAddr::IP::compactref is your friend; it takes a bunch of IP/masks and simplifies them down. It simplified my 9000 Inet2 networks down to 5000.

  8. Re:Link to Intel 64 Bit Extensions on Intel 64-bit Announcements at IDF · · Score: 1
    As such, we believe developers will achieve maximum performance and stability by designing specifically for Intel architectures and by taking advantage of Intel's breadth of software tools and enabling services.

    haha, very nice. and I believe everyone should send me a $20 check because I'd really like that.
  9. AMD Low Power on Intel 64-bit Announcements at IDF · · Score: 5, Informative

    The other big news today was AMD's announcement of the HE and EE (wtf they mean is anyone's guess) of low-power Opterons. With these lines you get a full-scale Opteron that only puts out 35 or 50 watts! True they're expensive as heck, but they seem perfect for blades and other large-scale installations where power and AC requirements cost more than the CPUs themselves.

  14. Old news, and they got more on AMD Receives $683M for Dresden Plant · · Score: 2, Informative
    Wow this is old news. We knew this when they first announced the plant. And here are some more figures:
    AMD has arranged external financing and government support of approximately $1.5 billion during that period. The external financing is expected to include up to approximately $700 million in loans from a consortium of banks, including an 80% residual guarantee from Germany and Saxony, approximately $500 million in anticipated grants and allowances from the Germany and Saxonian governments (pending European Union Commission approval), and up to approximately $320 million in equity funding from Saxony and a group of European investors led by M+W Zander.

  17. Doublespeak on SCO Adds Copyright Claim to IBM Suit · · Score: 4, Interesting
    IBM's finally calling SCO on it's in court / out of court doublespeak:
    Morover, there remains a significant disparity between the information in the Revised Response and SCO's public statements about its alleged evidence. In the final analysis, SCO has indentified no more than appoximately 3,700 lines of code in 17 AIX or Dynix files that IBM is alleged improperly to have contiributed to Linux. (A list of the files we believe SCO has identified in its Revised Response is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.) Yet, speaking at Harvard Law School earlier this week, SCO's CEO, Darl McBride, stated that:

    "...[T]here is roughly a million lines of code that tie into contributions that IBM has made and that's subject to litigation that's going on. We have basically supplied that. In fact, that is going to be the subject of a hearing that comes up Friday..." (emphasis added.)

    Good to know you can't completely get away with talking so much BS.

  22. Typical Tom's Article on What's the Point of Building a Home Theater PC? · · Score: 1

    There's no reason to build a computer yourself as long as there's a commercially available solution that's as good. I mean, true that Alienware might cost 3 grand for something you could build for 1.5 grand, but of course it's worth it because we're all consumer whores.

    There are plenty of reasons to build a HTPC, the most obvious one being that you can make it do exactly what you want how you want it. And of course there's price. I'm presonally thinking of building myself a HTPC off of the VIA Mini-ITX boards. I think I can get it down to the size of about two DVD-Roms thick (one for the actual drive, one for the mobo) with a flash-based hard drive.
