We are discussing several options with NetGear. I can't really go into them at the moment, but NetGear has been VERY cooperative throughout this whole thing.
Yeah, I work at the CSL at UW Computer Sciences, and the tracking of this netgear issue was quite an interesting tale. Had us stumped for quite some time.
my router is a pentium 133 w/32 MB SDRAM running OpenBSD 3.2 on a 420MB disk
Never had a problem with it. Then again, it's only serving about 10 concurrent LAN connections to the outside at once, so...still, plenty for a home/small office network.
err, sorry, that is bad. With my GF4 ti4200 in linux, with a Athlon XP 1900+, i get something like 4000fps (I think, might have been 8000, actually...I'm at work right now so I can't check) in glxgears if I remember, and that's without cheating by moving the picture off of the screen or anything like that.
260fps sounds to me like you are using mesa's rendering instead of something else. If you post your XF86Config-4 file, or email it to me by deciphering my URL (not counting the strip part), I might be able to help you out.
Right now the project is still getting started (We in the Computer Systems Lab just finished building them 75 P4 2.4Ghz machines with gigabit cards soley for the purpose of packet generation, as far as I understand) but it should be really interesting when it gets done. Basically, it's a simulation of the internet all in one room. It's a cool room to be in...lots of wires and cisco crap everywhere. Almost as cool as the main CS server room...
I know I shouldn't repond to this, but what DRM are you referring to?
Nobody ever said linux would have DRM in it...they simply said they wouldn't stop others from putting DRM stuff in the linux OS because it DOES have some benefits from time to time.
that was taken by one of those camera things, correct?
simply take the evidence to court, show the firetruck behind you trying to get through, and 9 out of 10 courts will drop the charge, or reduce it to a seat belt ticket or bad headlight violation or something.
I'm trying to find a way to explain why the 1 Expedition would do more damage than 167 volvos...think of it this way:
Which hurts more, being walked on by 30 cats in a line, or 1 150 pound man?
the 167 volvos will have their weight dispersed across the roadway, as supposed to one car, if you know what I mean.
His forumla of RW=AW^4 does seem a bit (ok, a lot) loopy, but weight dispersion rules will show that the volvos would actually do less damage (unless you mean "road erosion" of itty bitty bits of blacktop getting stuck in the tires and carried away, but that wasn't really the point I guess)
I could be way off here, but its similar to how a tank can cross mud because of treads while a jeep that weighs a lot less will get stuck.
at least where I am at (University of Wisconsin, CS department) we build ALL of our cluster computers. We have clusters of upwards of 100 nodes, and to buy all those prebuilt would be insanely expensive. Unless you are running very small clusters, it is just not economical to buy machines from Dell or anything with windows installed.
I obviously don't speak for the business world, of course, but most businesses don't have a use for a cluster or a supercomputer for that matter...it is only good for very specialized applications.
Actually, if you are trying to write to a read only file, you need the !
I keep my counterstrike config.cfg file in mode 444, so that the game never overwrites it, but if want to make changes, i simply:wq! and it will override the read-only.
this works if and only if you allow one "profile" per CD key or something, which a lot of people aren't going to like, not to mention it will break the whole system if 3 people use the same CD key (say 3 brothers, for example)
If you allow more than 1 profile per CD key, it falls apart because the cheater can have as many profiles at whatever level they got to at any given time, so it breaks down.
I'm not explaining it very well I don't think, but I see lots of problems with this.
There have been a number of threads on that particular issue in the last few months on the gentoo forums. I'm a bit lazy right now to go search the forums for it, but go to The Gentoo Forums and do some searching. A few options were proposed.

how do you do that without screwing up the keyboard/mouse input for winex?
I can never get it to go back correctly if I alt-tab out.
now why would a moderator waste a mod point to mod this down??? I can only think of 3 posts out of a hundred or so that I have ever modded down, and 2 were trolls and one was something else...
I would say this one was Funny at best, not funny but on topic at worst. I personally think it's funny. I can't see why it would be modded -1, Offtopic...

my favorite part was how quickly it installed...almost passed over that one, hehe...
Oh no, it must mean the French are after my Freedom Computer!!!!!!!
Or something, I guess...
Where I work (CS Dept at University of Wisconsin), one of the professors (Paul Barford) is setting up the Wisconsin Advanced Internet Laboratory.

I am suing you for copyright infringement, as that could be confused with Edible BVDs, which already make millions each year

Don't be an idiot.
yeah, i just sort of summarized by calling it a law, hehe

IANAL but I believe the constution doesn't like the federal government to take on tasks that are better left to the states.
They did get rid of the federal speed limit, eventually...
