Well as long as it's a 'documented scientific fact' and not some other documented fact. I mean science never get's it wrong and on the odd occasion when it does not have the complete picture scientists will always admit their error.
Umm,
in what currency does Iraq wish to be paid for oil?
This war is about oil not so much it's control but how you pay for it. Currently the world revolves around the dollar. The US debts can be paid off in dollars. Say the world only accepted Yen, how would the US pay it's debts?
My understanding is that OPEC is seeking a change to the ECU for payment. Iraq was the first country to demand payment in ECU. Now France and Germany are basing their currency on the ECU. If OPEC only accepts ECUs the US is bankrupt, plain and simple.
The US will use Iraq to demonstrate what happens to other nations who do not follow the program. I mean, what happened to that nice South American President who dared to say no to the IMF?
Distel was always the place to go. About twice a year I'd trudge over to them and see what they had. Mind you that was 15+ years ago and they're still going strong.
Solaris still rules on the high end. Ever tried to take the memory out of a Linux box while it's still running? How about swapping out an ethernet card? Or a processor?
I posted an AskSlashdot about this, it's only been three weeks waiting to be posted.

This is the one feature I'd like to see. Not your namby pamby heartbeats and redirection. But honest to goodness fault tolerance. I want a system that if I rip out a node will keep running and lose not a single thread. XSessions and DB handlers should not notice a glitch. Think VMS, Stratus etc. Add nodes, remove nodes, re-configure etc.
There's a reason most systems do not offer this, it ain't trivial. In fact most research I've read just says it's unfeasable and then goes on to spout about re-direction is alomost good enough.
Mosix, High Availability Linux, etc do not offer this feature.
I doubt very much that the next generation of 'software chiefs' are currently studying CS. More lilely they are studying economics or business. CS people do not get the big management roles, or very rarely.
Instead of replying with the obvious, yet ridiculous, comment of "Why can't/. create an edit button...", why don't you get the code and write one of your own. For if you are wise enough to question the way things work now, you should be wise enough to offer some code to fix things in a way that is realistic.
A more subtle way is that the college you attend in Cambridge has already implemented this. The only problem with this approach is that all the alumni from Cambridge Universtiy think you're trying to associate yourself with their older and more established college.
Bring up an impending war is not nonsense. It's nonsense to quitely go to war.
Iraq is not about national defense, it's not about terrorism, it's not about weapons of mass destruction. The question that Bush and Blair have still not answered is why they wish to go to war? Religon? Oil? Nothing I have heard yet makes sense.
Defense, how can attacking a soverign nation who you have economically weakened be considered defense. The word is offense as in offensive.
If the issue is about people why have you talked only about oil and money?
The braking system in most cars is built that at worse if a single tube gets cut only two wheels will lose brakes.
Brakes rarely fail on roads cars. The only problem I've felt on the road is that of fade. When I come screaming down a mountain road, at the bottom of the moutain my brakes fading and smell as well.
The best case of brake problems I heard of was back in the 60s. The London police had these new jags and they were all set up for pursuit work. Pretty soon a number of these cars had been in wrecks and the police drivers were blaming brake loss, not fade, complete loss. The investigators checked everything found nothing wrong with the brakes so cited driver error. Anyway some copper was out on a chase came to junction, went for the brakes and his foot hit the floor. The jag sailed throught the junction and front ended a stone wall. The copper just sat there with his foot on the brakes until the investigators showed up. Turns out the brake fluid tank was situated in the V of cam shafts. Race the engine and the temperature boils off the fluid.
Ferrari put's very little of of it's F1 tech in road cars, the only thing I can think of is the maintenance schedule:-)
Ferrari is a very exclusive brand. They're not the most technically advanced, they're not the fastest nor the most expensive. However they do have prestige.
But Ferrari has something else, genuine F1 history. As Chris Rea growled in his song 'red is the colour I choose'.
I hoped Schumacher, the cheating kraut, would not end the draught. Irvine had a chance but it was gone. Enzo would have liked that, I think, compared to the team orders. It's important Ferrari wins, not the driver. Schumacher may have brought Ferrari success but at what cost to it's prestige.
Personally, I liked Lotus with Chapman or currently Williams. As for drivers, Clark and Prost, smooth very, very smooth. Not for me the drama of a Villneuve or Alesi. Not the blinding one lap speed of Senna. Not the morals of Schumacher. Not the lost talent of a Herbert. Clark and Prost had something else, effortless speed. You never thought they were trying until you saw the times. Sheckter said once "...jeez Prost spun.(long pause).never mind he'll probably do it again in three or four years"
But, the driver I have most respect for is Lauda in '76. Not for receivng the last rites. Not for racing so soon after the 'ring. But for pulling into the pits and climbing out when the rain turned to a torrent at Fuji. Leaving behind an almost certain World Championship. That one act took more courage than starting to race again. Stopping when all around might label you a coward and a fool. And who was Lauda driving for?

Well,
:-
The Timothy or the Timmy. As explained by
The number of intelligent stories posted by a Timothy in a year.
The IQ of a Timothy.
How many times a Timothy posts opinion as a comment and not as story.
See we're talking really,realy low numbers here.
Go on my karma can take it.
B10 or F50?
It has all the blinkenlights. Prehaps you should check the specs? That's probaly to hard for a luser such as yourself :-)
Gravity sucks almost as much as your idea.
Of course a Zoom PCI Cable Modem 5001 is a better idea :-) Works under Linux. Being a neat freak I really like everything internal.
You are aware there's a mainframe emulator for WIN/NIX?
So yes I have mainframe under my desk it's also part of cluster. Do I get a bonus for that?
Or to paraphrase my boss "Jez, when you gonna do some real work?"

This is one area I'm looking at. My understanding was that Stratus wrote a number of _VERY_ special drivers for the hot swap.

So how about loading Linux on the test bed? Any chance you could post a review for

WTF...
Try NPR, it's not perfect and neither is the BBC or CBC. All three are state controlled.
Free speech is not meaningless to the poor. The right to voice your opinion is important to everybody.
Supporting Slaon is not supporting democracy it's supporting a company founded by an ego-maniac.
Try www.alternet.org or any of the other non mainstream news sites.
Salon sucked a whole load of money in and pissed it down the tubes. It's going out of business because it had piss poor business acumen.
Nice rebuff :-)

Sort of like when I decided that every value is made up of two smaller prime values. Do you realise just how common primes are?

Fiat owns Ferrari.
Not all Fiats are a POS.
Duct tape, jesus do you know how much that stuff costs? It's a valid defence against air born pathegons.
Al Queda is going to invade any second and you want to use an important resource to build a desk, are you mad.
The original parent was discussing OS not apps.
No futzing OS was written in COBOL, and yes they used assembler, but there was so few machines it made no different. You didn't port it you fixed it.
