No, not in the top 5 any longer. But those Mac clusters that are in the top 500 give by far the most bang for the the buck. See for yourself on this list. You want to look at the 'R-max MFlop / dollar' column. Because of this fact I personally don't understand why there aren't much more Mac clusters being built.
If you find this interesting you might be interested in Bruce Schneier's Solitaire Encryption Algorithm, a real encryption algorithm using a deck of cards.
It's been this way in Denmark for a long time. Your employer sends all relevant data about your income to the tax office. Your bank also sends data about loans, amount of money on your account to the tax office. And the tax office does all the calculations and sends a pre-filledout tax form to you. If something needs to be corrected, you send the form back with the corrections. If it is all correct you don't do anything.
This system makes it much easier for mere mortals to handle their taxes.
Sometimes the transcript text is garbled or has spelling and grammatical errors. Why is this?
The text we use for searching Google Video is captured from the closed captioning of each program as it airs. Closed captioning isn't always accurate and errors can occur during the transmission. Let us know if you find a program with serious errors in the text.
Wow, this is so cool. I went to video.google.com and enter the search word "apple". Then I clicked on one of the results. I get screenshots of a TV news cast, with transcription. Examples of the transcription:
"Money scope" reporter David Louie live at a very ripe Apple headquarters in cupper Tino.
Steve jobs is doing here at Apple what Carlie If I rhino owned dreamed at hp.
The Mack Mini made its adieu.
From the mistakes, it looks like the audio is being transcribed by a computer. Despite the many mistakes, I still think that is quite impressive.
PC Engines offer single board computers from $120 and up.
Their 2-NIC model (for use as firewall) goes for $140.
Their flash is not overpriced either ($17.25 for 128MB CF).
I run OpenBSD on one of those, so I am pretty sure NetBSD should run on them too.

I have successfully done this multiple times too. By putting the drives in a fridge, out of around 5 completely dead drives, I was able to recover all data off all but one of them. Certainly a lot cheaper than sending the hard drive to a professional data recovery company.
A cheaper alternative to the Sokeris is the WRAP by PC Engines. The cheapest one goes for $140 with a 266MHz CPU. For an additional $15 they come with a real neat case. They only use 3 to 5 Watt and support POE. They don't come with an IDE interface though, so if you want to read and write, you will have to invest into a Microdrive. My WRAP is running OpenBSD off a 32MB CF card, working as a router and has been running like a charm.
Since the last Security Update for OS X 10.1 was over half a year ago, I do not expect any advisory or patch for us. It seems Apple no longer supports OS X 10.1.
Not too simple indeed, since I run Mac OS X 10.1.5 and there is no application called "Directory Access". And in the application "Dicrectory Setup" there is no "Use DCHP-supplied LDAP Server" checkbox anywhere, so I just unchecked LDAPv2 altogether in the hope it won't break anything.

Has been done, though not updated with the new list. Take a look here.

Talk English, dude!

Executive summary: seems fishy.
Interestingly Apple's G5 based supercomputers are a lot cheaper than the rest. But there is also one very cheap Xeon-based system.

I could imagine that phones supporting SyncML will be some of the first to be supported.
It's just all gone wrong. It should have been Apple + Nokia and Microsoft + Motorola.
Think about it. Nokia is known for their UI where every detail is thoroughly researched for userfriendliness and simplicity. So is Apple.
The last Motorola phone I owned had a UI that was worthless. So I think the Motorola phones designers don't deserve any better than Microsoft.
I just use it for my 512Kbps ADSL line, don't know how much traffic it could handle max.

AAC support on Nokia mobiles is nothing new--the Nokia 3300 and the already discontinued Nokia 5510 have supported AAC for quite some time already.

DKK 600,- (ca. US$ 103,-) for ADSL 512/128 including landline subscription with Orange (they don't sell Internet access anymore).
Sweden might have the cheapest high-speed Internet connections in the world, it's because the government subsidizes it.
Yep, another first post by me :-D
