Lucas is saying that mitochondria are the source of the force, and amazingly enough, it's a decent answer to the question of symbiosis we do have with them.
I liked this, even though I also felt the lifeforce was a better answer.
Anyone who expects 100% uptime from Slashdot is a fool. Rob has made clear that he has hacked tons of code for it, and it's unstable. I'll bet it crashed, and someone wasn't around to restart it, but so what? The OS might have been fine, might have been a full disk, might have been a faulty hardware card (ever notice that some _hardware_ like to be rebooted when it gets screwed up?)
Slashdot is amazing: it's still up considering that it's./ed EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!
PC Week, which can hardly be called anti-Linux or pro-Microsoft
Huh? Excuse me. PC Week has been full of FUD since day 1. I seem to recall that a positive Linux quote used to be a rare thing in there, but negative 'Linux is a fluke' were common. If any mention of Linux happened at all.
Ziff Davis is NOT Linux friendly, since M$ pays for so much advertising. I rarely see a true anti m$ review in there.
as for this article:
top Linux figures refuse to take place in a retest. It all adds up to an obvious conclusion: The truth is out there.
as we who read Linux Today, Slashdot, etc, know, that is NOT true. There hasn't been 'refusal'.
TurboLinux High Availability Cluster. Note that this is actually a repackaging of code from Wensong Zhang, who wrote it as part of the Linux Virtual Server Project which is referenced below. They do not appear to credit Wensong for his work, and resell it as "commercial" software. Are they within Wensong's license constraints (GPL?)?
Interesting... looks like they will honor the GPL on some of it. Anyone know if the monitor and config will be based on the same GPLed material?
The price is not set. However, it is anticipated to be around $1,000 dollars per node.
1.6 What license will the software use?
The kernel patch will be released under GPL with full source code. TurboLinux has not announced licensing for the monitoring and configuration portions of the cluster system.
ok, GPLed!... And at $1000 a node, someone will write a GPLed monitor and config portion real quick to match it.

[excerpt]
"The PAC algorithm takes advantage of the characteristics of the human auditory system to compress CD-quality stereo signals about 10:1, a factor of two greater than current commercial digital systems," Jayant said.
So, Ken, how is that better than MP3? Isn't MP3 also 10:1?
I compress the songs with a Bell Labs-invented algorithm called PAC [Perceptual Audio Coding] and store them on a jukebox storage system. I started this before MP3 was heard of on the network. PAC is vastly superior to MP3.
Ok, people, time to move. Someone got a PAC converter and player yet?

go look up mitochondria and prepare to be amazed.

And linking up 1000 of these Sony Robotic dogs would yield a beoWOLF cluster, which would leap for your throat...

Wondering why they are charging so much....
