Allocate a fixed amount of bandwidth to each user. It sucks in that you can't get a little extra, but that's a relatively small price to pay for that control.
Theoretically, by doing so you could simply add up the bandwidth given to your endpoints and purchase that as your upstream connection. That provider could do the same thing, et cetera.

KDE 2.0.1 is out

I untarred the Blackdown jdk in/opt, giving me/opt/jdk-1.2.2. I then symlinked that to/opt/java. In Konqueror, I followed the menus through Settings|Configure|Browser, went to the Java/JavaScript tab, checked "Enable Java globally", then "Use user-specified Java" (at the bottom, and gave it/opt/jdk as the "Path to JDK". Apply/OK, and finis. Working just fine. (This is with the Slackware-current KDE 2.0 packages.)
...i really wouldn't be caught dead using a beefed up, ripoff of a microsoft gui.
Assuming that's all that KDE and Gnome are... why not? What's wrong with it, other than the fact that Microsoft uses it (and we all know Microsoft isn't hip)? Are you too 1337 for a task bar? Too punk rock for icons?
Following a link from a previous Slashdot story about somebody rack-mounting an iMac, I came to this site. Looks a whole lot like that terrasoft unit, to me.
At $400 for the case and another $900 for an iMac to go in it, that puts you $500 under the per-unit price of the terrasoft cluster. This is assuming, of course, that you can actually get one of these cases now and that it's worth your time and effort to put the thing together and get it running yourself.
That was fairly harsh. Considering the $ was used, and the author's English was perfect, it seems perfectly reasonable to assume that other standards of English were being followed, such as the '.' representing a decimal and the ',' separating thousands.
In that light, a single deviation from those standards could cause confusion, which is the original poster's point.
Okay, this would be a problem if any normal user *had* a scanner, a camcorder, a PS2, and six hard drives. As it stands (few can or will shell out that kind of money, especially at $300+ for each of those drives... you're talking about $2000+ in *peripherals*), that's a fairly weak argument for Firewire over ATA/66.
I'll grant you the technology is damned cool, but the cost is just too high right now.
Too bad. We're not going to fight a war just to keep the troops' spirits up.
Look, I understand your point that the military is trained to fight and is not particularly happy if it has no well-defined enemy. But sometimes the job of a standing army is just to stand.
...anyone here will dispute that Klebold and Harris were absolutely wrong in their actions. The point of the Hellmouth series was not to exhonerate murderers, it was to draw attention to the witch-hunt that occurred subsequent to their rampage. My brother's in high school now, my mom (I'm proud to say a very tolerant, understanding, and wise woman) is the principal of a public school-- from what I heard, after Columbine a situation that was already bad for geeks and social outcasts in the high schools got suddenly and drastically worse.

Looking at that setup, I see two monitors with a keyboard placed smack in the middle. Now, you're not going to be looking ahead while you work in this thing, because you'd be looking between the monitors. You're always going to be looking slightly to one side.
I can tell you just from having one monitor offset from my keyboard for too long, that ain't good for your neck.
Ooh.. I wish I had mod points, 'cause this is a pretty good idea. Suppose the system could then detect the power failure and write the contents of this RAMdisk to flash RAM? That'd make it semi-permanent, and it would matter little how long it took to get the machine back up... upon coming back, the system could check the flash RAM for updates and make them before continuing.
Or something. I sure am making this up as I go, without knowing much at all.;)
umm.. a beowulf cluster doesn't even reasonably compare to a dual-processor machine. Apples and oranges, man.
I don't want to custom-author every piece of software I run. I just want more than one CPUs.
And I should point out that the Athlons are supposed to support SMP, and apparently chipsets will be available early next year to take advantage of that. So it seems your argument that fast and cheap preclude SMP doesn't quite hold water.
Calm down, man. You're getting all bent out of shape over a flame that wasn't even there.
Let's review: The original poster mentioned a rumour that was going around in hopes of getting clarification. He got that clarification along with some slightly-outdated information. And then you went apeshit over some perceived attack on IBM.
pfft. I'd run it headless and use it to compile things and play music.
If I had $1800 to toss away on a box that I could never really upgrade.:(
I'm hoping that they continue a cube series and lower the prices... I'm enjoying my iMac (it compiles glibc surprisingly quickly;) and need more test/build/play machines.

Sorry, that's just the third time I've seen "here, here" in the past 24 hours, felt like I should say something.
That looks like a framebuffer console, to me. If so, then X is already ready already. Maybe a bit slow, but that's ok.

um, screw you guys, I posted this first. :-P
It seems that these "iRacks" support only up to 333MHz iMacs, while the terrasoft cluster is advertised as being available in 333MHz-500MHz varieties.
Oops.

I don't think that would qualify as war booty. Probably falls into the category of proceeds from crimes against humanity.
An 80GB ATA/66 drive is $250. A 45GB drive is $130. The contoller is on my motherboard. Why are you using Firewire drives already?
Too bad. We're not going to fight a war just to keep the troops' spirits up.

Protesters weren't in the majority in the 60s, either. That wasn't his claim.
Yeah, it's not *for* you.

That's fine. Good deal for the rest of us.
Minor correction:
:)
We compiled the latest KDE2 CVS stuff with egcs 1.1.2 a couple of days ago.
I won't comment on the rest.
Umm.. aside from the military academies, what Federal universities exist? Most are state or private institutions.
