Yeah, and all further industrialization processes... I mean, how many tons of spacy fish we can farm over there ?

I have some computing servers at the lab (i.e. servers for computationally intensive simulations) on which X is sometimes handy (demoing some stuff for instance).
still using it for remote admin

Vim Turns 20

I'm still using vim for remote admin of servers which don't have X installed.
Am I the only one? I guess not. I bet vim is editor number 1 for this task.
Have you ever heard of Unix? You know, that strange system were files are more than just collections of bytes.
Devices can be files, IPC can be files, even kernel hooks can be modeled by files...
Honestly, I work hard as a researcher to automate the most I can. When everything boring will be automated, we will spend time only on funny things.
All these gloomy stories about jobs, work and salaries, they are total non-sense. A world without jobs and salaries but with full automation is much more attractive than a world with the current economical system but where everything has to be done by hand...
Mr Motti, if you manage to have such logging capabilities installed on all European systems by default, I promise I will hack it. I will hack it and use the one on your computer to find all your dirty laundry related to political and financial affairs, and I will make all of them public. It will stink so fucking much you'll praise the Lord such a logging system would never have existed. Beware...
If you take a look at how many safety systems are handled by on board computers in any modern car, you'll see you already put your life in the hand of some computer engineer's work. And all of this is based on the search for profitability maximum.
I suggest you to read "The eyes of Heisenberg" by Franck Herbert and then "To live Forever" by Jack Vance.
It's amazing how many things to come have been addressed many years ago by sci-fi novelists...
Assuming most of/. readers are from the US, it seems that working for something else than money as a primary reason is a typical European concept...
(Example: http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2465088&cid=37638874 is something about the actual work and has an email address in.co.uk)
I also have a bunch of very concise sed scripts. Funny though, the permissions on these files are write only since the other rights were useless. Talk about maintainability...
If you're looking for high performances, then x64 is clearly not the future. GPGPU will beat it to death, and are readily available. Just wait for the engineer to program them to get out of school and it will be big business.
But that's not the aim of SPARC architecture. We talking of web and databases servers. Things that are not really heavy computational tasks, but thousands of IO bound small jobs. In this area, x64 is just a mess. It's just not designed for it. I think SPARC have a pretty sure future in the small area were you want a single computer to host your 512 concurrent threads web service, like say professional applications targeted for small and medium businesses.
And ARM has nothing to do with that, it's for embedded (or alike) systems.
And to be fully honest, I prefer Ph.D. students to have novel, nice and efficient ideas and algorithms than to produce well written and well documented code. If I needed someone to write good code, I would have hired an engineer, not a Ph.D. student.
Just saying...

Well, first the exciting news about the latest Kepler discovery, and now this. I suppose /. news are scheduled for better marketing impact...
Does that mean that free operating systems are getting a more common scheme ?
This is an interesting time to be alive :)

That's why all patents are just plain bullshit and should be nullified...

On the bright side, if artists are living 150 years and producing for most of them, the copyright laws will finally seem sane again.
Then copyrights would probably be extended to 500 years...
