While it's a 'workstation' processor, increasing the power of processors is important to people who have servers. As processors get quicker, you can support more web traffic with fewer servers. This saves a lot of money in real estate and so on. Bitch all you want guys, I'll keep plugging faster processors into my servers.:-)
my girlfriend had a friend in one of the airplanes that went down. anyone who calls for forgiveness and not retaliation for this act should have to pick one of their friends to be killed and then see how they feel. fucking barbarians.
fuck you. if it was your family members who would have died in the WTC you would want justice. so easy for you to say that from your safe country. and muslims HATE the US, if we offered no threat of retaliation, they would overload the air traffic system with all of the suicide planes they would send at us. think about it you quixotic fucking retard, how many stores would be safe if cops wouldn't arrest you for shoplifting?

No you would just murder their goal keeper if their team beat yours at football. You're so full of shit you can't see straight you dumb fucker. If brits don't care about sports why were you temporarily banned from football matches? Why are quotas still placed on brits limiting the # of them that can attend football matches? Because everyone knows you hooligans are too primitive to act like adults.
As much as I hate this idea, it's really the right of the electronics maker to make whatever electronics they want, even if it does shitty stuff like this. As long as they are honest to the consumor about it of course.
Invariably, the masses will end up buying this stuff because 1. they don't know they should care and 2. how many people even move out of their home city, let alone state or country.
However, there will be a large group of people who hate this idea. Consider how many people read Slashdot. Add in all of the other technie sites. That's a pretty decent size community of freedom-loving techies. Techies have money. This is one hell of a market. My point is...
Why doesn't some entrepreneurial geek with IC clue start up an electronics company to sell geek-friendly shit? VA Linux? Someone else? I know Andover would invest in it. Hell, they already have thinkgeek, they could just pump their own geek electronics through it. Form the company in Dubai or some business-friendly and semi-stable place where the US/British/etc multi-nationals/conglomerates can't fuck with you and make your electronics with no GPS. Make your MP3 players with no encryption schemes. Make your HD's with no copyright protection. (Admittedly a trifle more difficulty to mfg than Mp3 players, but you get the picture.) Go forth and save the world while making a healthy profit at the same time. If the electronics were of good quality and stylish (Suck your pride and hire some actual artists, not geeks turned gimp users. NO, you can't design, you're a geek damnit.) I'd fucking buy every thing you offered.
I absolutely agree. I consider the lack of a truely horizontally scalable db solution the final enigmatic issue of highly available computing. Preemptive strike: No, I do not consider replication a solution, not passive/active clusters a solution either. I want a cluster of servers serving a database stored on shared storage that are all live at the same time all doing update/select/insert/deletes. So basically you could scale a db just by putting a load balancing switch in front of it and adding servers to the cluster and connecting them to the shared storage. (EMC or what-have-you.) If anyone has any ideas for this let me know. (As far as I know Oracle 9i Real Applications doesn't do this. It has active/passive arrangement where if the master goes down one of the slaves will come up within 17 seconds, iirc.)
How many people know machine code? And yet, millions of people per day use computers. So quite obviously there would be a more elegant and transparent method of implementing my quick and dirty idea.
ALPINE. No matter what you guys say, it is a damn good solution. The best thus far IMO. *You* get to control the number of peer connections you maintain, the number of queries you make, the rate at which those quries are distributed to the peer network, the number of queries you will respond to from other peers, the number of file transfers, etc. Also the proxy idea sounds damn cool.
Stop being a henny penny dooms-day fear-monger. It's people like you hyping the recession talk that'll make it actually happen. Just sick in the fucking corner.
From what I've heard it's security model is better than qmail, but it's as efficient and clean as qmail is. Anyone who'se used both have any comments? (Preferrably comments regarding usage in high-volume environments.)
You underestimate MS. Look at it's history. It's common theme is taking an inferior product and FUD'ing the fuck out of everyone until it's an industry standard/leader. Trust me,.NET will push J2EE into 'fringe' within 3 years. (Not that I'm happy about this, I just see it happening.)
My pal at CMU has been checking out a demo on loan (Electronic engineering major or something.) and says it's legitimate. (Not incredibly high-quality, though of course. He says it's like disposable cameras.)
What a bad move. One of the basic tools of the geek, the search engine, AltaVista is trying to f with. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the great coders that reads this site goes and downloads (http://solutions.altavista.com/downloads/download s.html) the AltaVista Search Engine 3.0 trial for Linux, cracks it, and posts a link to the code back here, or submits it to the bots in #cracks on EFNet.). Perhaps in reply to this very comment! That would be a shame because everyone in #iso on EFNet knows how against piracy I am!
I just sent them an email, I'll paste it...
I just heard about CMGI plannig to enforce it's patent on searching. You've got to be kidding me. I know your horrid business models and IPO dry-up are leading you down a gloomy path, but how can you justify this? It's a basic property of the internet. Do the people who invented email or 'the web' try to enforce this kind of thing? No. Not because they are stupid, they are obviously more intelligent than the people at your firm since they can profit without doing such things, but because they know it's just plain wrong. My firm was planning on purchasing your AltaVista Search Engine 3.0 but that's definitely not happening now, we'll go license alltheweb.com's engine.
Have fun with those ever-meaningless stock options now IT-toy!

Slashdot Mirror
Sometimes when I click a link, it open a new browser window. I hate this. Is there any way to make it open a new tab instead of a new window?
How powerful is Mozilla mail on windows? Can it handle 1-2k emails in each folder (inbox, etc) without choking?

it's because those types of packages are *very fucking complicated and complex* and are often seen by geeks as 'lame business stuff'
Suck my cock. You pussies are what makes terrorists feel safe enough to do shit like this.

I said nothing about what it currently sells other than the fact that it sells electronics or whatever.

No you don't, that's the key of 'sharing.' Why must you have payment? I doubt you use 100% of your computer's capacity 100% of the time.
Resuming, mmm. Is there a win32 port? I'd love to stop using the cludge of an application Napster. Should be called Winster, the fat bitch.

We can just md5 the names of the mp3s on our HD and search for the md5 version of what we're looking for. Or something
.8 won't even start on my win2k box, yet .7 and everything prior did/does. It just stalls on the splash image. POS.
