  1. there's a great idea on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 1

    "So we shifted the filling station for washer fluid to the side of the car, next to where you fill up fuel, and we closed the bonnet for good."

    It's not too hard to imagine a scenario where washer fluid gets into your fuel tank. They really thought this one through.

  2. Re:AT&T spying on home networks on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 1

    No need for additional ethernet cards. Just bind a second IP to the existing NIC.

  3. Re:What an incredibly bad idea on Maryland Task Force Proposes Special Tech Courts · · Score: 1

    I say we keep this elitism out of the judicial system, and stick with what we know works. The judicial system works???

  4. How far will the MPAA go? on More Threats From The MPAA · · Score: 1

    What happens if DeCSS is put in the KEO time capsule? Will the MPAA seek to have it destroyed?

  5. Everyone is getting upset over nothing on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    The owner of the unpaid domains are given three options.

    1.) PAY and still own the domain

    2.) DELETE the domain and it can get grabbed by anyone, but you still owe the unpaid amount.

    3.) AUCTION the domain in an attempt to pay for your registration fees. Note that this is only up to the full registration fee, so Network Solutions doesn't actually make any money off this. They only get the money that is due to them.

  6. Re:He's a Microsoftie! on IETF draft on different IPv4 addressing scheme · · Score: 1

    Actually Netscape does do that. And I'm not even going to bother commenting on the rest of your post.

  7. MOSIX on Mosix now GPLed · · Score: 3

    If you are considering building a cluster, I would highly recommend you check out MOSIX. I've used it in the past, and it works very well. The ability to migrate a running process from one box to another is just cool ;) I'm glad to see it's available once again and I can finally upgrade my kernel and still have MOSIX support.

  8. Re:Interesting math you have going there... on wcarchive Upgraded · · Score: 1

    You're just looking at it from a different point of view... Allow me to clarify his point:

    Assuming the bottleneck is the ethernet segment, then the machine has the full 100 Mb/s of total bandwidth for transmitting data since it is a full duplex connection. Given that there is a potential 5000 users and assuming the bandwidth was allocated fairly among the users (which it won't be of course), then each user would be limited to 20 Kb/s.

    100 Mb/s / 5000 users = 20 Kb/s per user
