I'm surprised no one else has picked this new piece up:
Robert Bigelow, chief of Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace, is apparently setting higher goals for private spaceflight endeavors with America's Space Prize, a $50 million race to build an orbital vehicle capable of carrying up to seven astronauts to an orbital outpost by the end of the decade, according to Aviation Week and Space Technology.
don't play a computer. Go is a notoriously complex game that computers can't even come close to understanding (there is simply too much strategy and too many possible moves). The best way to learn is to find someone (in real life) who knows how to play and play some 9x9 (not a full 19x19) games against them. If you can't find anyone in real life find an online go server (google for it) and play some people there. Playing real people is the only way to learn, and if you say you're a noob someone will probably help you out with some pointers.
The debian amd64 port is still fairly experimental, but it works. It builds off the official i386 packages (almost) as often as the official packages do so there's no problem with being behind. The only thing is that a handfull of packages don't compile properly for amd64 so they're waiting for someone to patch them. As far as 32-bit applications, you have a bit of compatibility using the ia32-libs package, but it really doesn't work all that well.
So if you like debian, want the bleeding edge and don't mind a few quirks and lack of 32-bit application support (like I do) go for it. Otherwise just use normal i386 Debian or another AMD64 port.
IIRC CDRWIN would silently burn corrupt cds if you had a bad serial. not a terrible tradeoff, just causes you to waste a CD (unless you deleted the source files before checking the burn...)
It seems like a generic analogue to USB interface, which is exactly what I've been looking for. Anyone have any idea what the actual controlling chip is (neither site gives specs, just shows a blury picture)?
I was talking to one of the networks admins at my school who had the joy of sitting through a meeting with an RIAA type about Napster. He said that we should really take a look at Napster or one of the other services and that we wouldn't have to worry about those pesky supenas anymore. Basically pay up and they'd stick us on some sort of do-not-haras whitelist. Thankfully our admin kindly told the guy to shove it and move on to the next collage.
Everything I have ever read (in relation to overclocking) has said that power increases linearly (n) with frequency but quadratically (n*n) with voltage (which implies current).

I just found they're done by a program called brutessh2. It's a little brute-force scanner like everyone has guessed. You can find the source for it here. Be sure to check your passwords against its password list.
It's actually fairly easy for a small roll out like this. The way the internet normally works is that I announce out to the world I have some block of IP addresses sitting off some network connection. This announcement gets propagated around the globe so everyone knows to follow back to my connection to get my range of IP addresses.
What they're doing here is simply not propagating those announcements out. Here the BBC announces to a few (British) ISPs how to access the block of IPs associated with these streams but specifically tells them not to rebroadcast the announcements out. That way their subscribers can access it, but the rest of us are left with no idea where the routes are.

I though that these benchmarks looked a little strange when you're using Jack the Ripper as one of your major comparisons. There's a nice thread going on over at Ace's bashing the benchmarks, including a post from the author of the chess benchmark stating: this test they did was flawed in all respects.

o The stable version (v. 1.2) has a 2GB file size (though volume size can be much larger) limit.
o Currently it only supports 2.4 kernels stably, and there is some strife between the OpenAFS and Linux Kernel communities on the implementation. Specifically, they don't like that the syscall table is not exported to modules in Linux 2.6 (they say it is for all other Unix-like OSes...)
Both of these have been fixed in the 1.3 series that was released a few days ago. I've been using it in 2.6 for about a month now just fine.
By convention that I've seen everywhere, these are the abreviations: mb/s = megabytes / second mbps = megabits per second
Occasionally you'll see people saying that MB or Mb is megabyte and Mb or mb is megabit, but obviously this is far from consistent. The above is the most common that I've seen, or just avoid the whole subject and explicitly say 10mbit.
wow, I'm seeing no other posts and the site's already dead / dying. I even tried mirroring it but all I got was a database error:
Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-confi g.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.

Sadly that seems to be the norm for Anandtech now. I used to visit them daily because their reviews were that much better than everyone else's, but recently they've really been going downhill.
I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Radiators by all laws of physics can only cool down anything going through them to (almost) room temperature. Now the equations you want are that if the radiator can bring the water within 2C of room temperature with one CPU pumping out heat, then with two CPUs it will bring the water about withing 4C. You are correct thout that the second CPU will (obviously) be warmer than the first one.
