As I recall, the 36-bit extention to the Pentium Pro/II/III is an ugly hack. They are 32-bit processors that have a 32-bit address space. Intel just hacked in a little ugly work around to get an extra 4-bits of addressable memory. I think only a special version of Wint can use it. (Maybe FreeBSD can, too. I'm not sure.)

Well, in semi conductors, electrons must have a higer energy than the band gap in order to conduct. If you cool a semi-conductor too far, you wil remove too much of its heat (energy) so te elecrons will not be able to "jump" the band gap and therefore there will be no conduction (infinate resistance)
Keep in mind that this is a first order, mostly-classical (ie, not alot of quantum mechanics) approximation. One could take in the fact that electrons are fermions, and as such obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. But that doesn't come into effect until you are at MUCH cooler temperatures (Liquid helium, 4K and below)

I used them in high school as MIDI workstations with Kawai K4's and Notator. I wish I could find a MIDI/notation program a good as Notator, thought. I have found it hard to learn anything else. Especailly since there are virtually NO MIDI composition programs for Linux. Are there any for BeOS? I might just have to buy myself a cheap Mac to run maybe Finale and a Tracker program. Ahh, well.

Does anyone know if you can read standard Digital Audio (48kHz x 16 bit, 44.1kHz x 16 bit, 32kHz x 12 bit) from ADATs on a computer SCSI DAT drive? Would this just require some lowlevel SCSI programming (a la the SCSI-Programming-HOWTO)?

Follow the "About CRC" link. I immediately became suspicious when they said "Ralph Nader and other lefists" as if that was a bad thing. The Board of trustees is filled with vocal republicans. This article is not so much research, as right wing propoganda. There is very little fact in it.

I really want to see an O'Reilly FORTRAN-77 book. All of the FORTRAN books out there are really old, and are relatively dry. The question is, of course, what animal whould it be? Something, ugly, but either extremely good at what it does or very wise or intelligent. I'm not sure if there is an elephant book already.

Of course, my favorite thing to do with marshmallow bunnies if to dump them in Liquid Nitrogen. They get real cold and kind of stick to you tounge when you eat them, and make a very pleasing crunch. They taste almost like astronaut ice cream.

Indeed, there is a book entitled "The Physics of Star Trek." It was written by my deprtment chair, Lawrence M. Krauss, Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics at Case Western Reserve University. It is a pretty good book, and he has also written a sequel. You can see him from time to time on Discovery Channel and Nova and the like.

I believe that Linus made a comment a few years back that you actually _OWN_ your copy of Linux (or whatever). Linus, et al. owns the copyright, but the acutal system running on your hardware is YOURS. So I could rightfully call it Mo/Linux. Everyone should call it Me/Linux:-). I mean that is the true separation between free software and propriatary stuff. You actually own it, it is yours, and you can do with it pretty much as you wish.
Of course, I might be completely misinterpreting the various licences, but that's how I see them.

are you even allowed to use an old cddb archive? What are the licencing issues on it? I mean the CDDB people will probably see it as their "property" Boy most of the IP thing is, as Carman would say, "hella-stupid."

well, for most of the university rescource sharing, they use kerberos, and who cares if some windows users have thier machine nuked? It's only their personal box. I know that the physicas deptartment uses ssh a whole lot.
I believe that our network was set up so that no computer trusts another (except maybe the kerberos servers)

I am a programmer (not a DJ, programmers program their show, DJs just play what they are told to play) at my college radio station, WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland. I am in charge of Webcasting. In a few weeks we will have a live MP3 stream courtesy of AudioActive. We have an OC3 onto campus so we can serve literally THOUSANDS.
The key to enjoysing radio is to find something different than the mainstream. I totally agree that most stations out there play nothing but crap. They only play what the record companies want them to play, the last "Big Hit" from prepubescent whiny boys to vapid pop jingles. Listen to noncommercial radio. Whether it is NPR or a college station, since we are not concerned with make money from all the 12-year-old tinnie boppers, we can play GOOD music. And I know that not all college stations sound great, but there are some out there that do put a decent amount of effort into their offerings.
WRUW's main objective is to provide a REAL altrenative to the Cleveland community. We, and other noncommercial stations , pride ourselves on being different (and I think better) from commercial stations. Variety is imperative. We have classic jazz shows, "avant" jazz shows, Ska, punk, Classical, indy rock, country (real country), blues, industrial, metal, and freeform (a wonderous mix of all of the above). Every programmer puts effort into into their show, not because they are paid ('cause we're not), but becasue we care.
I know I sound like an evangelist, but I truly believe what I am saying. In high school, I listened to the latest "modern rock" station. It was crap, and I was a willing participant. I listend to all the bands they told me to. I bought the CDs, too. Yes, I have Greenday's Dookie, REM's Monster, the Cranberries, I use them as coasters now. Now I know better.
So in conclusion kids, Varitey is the key, and noncomercial radio provides it. And some stations ever webcast this stuff to everyone, so don't dispair.
I've used Novell a bit. Is it just me, or does Novell just seem a little weird to everyone? I mean like in just how it boots and commands and stuff. It seems that when it boots, it looks a little like linux and a little like AIX, and and it's commands are a little like VMS. I think. I don't know. I didn't get to use it that much. I was basically the guy who went around and made sure that they booted and changed the HDs if they failed and such.

Ever hear of Plesantville, guys? Almost the whole movie was transferred to digital to do the editing. It was shot on film, then scanned in at quite high resolution (something like 4000x7000 or something) and then desaturated pixel by pixel. It was then transfered back onto film.
The only drawback is the amount of bandwidth needed. I suppose instead of beaming the movie to the theatre, they could ship DVDs to the theatres. In fact, they would probably copy the DVD data (which will probably be encrypted) to hard disk. I worked fixing computers at an amusement park, and the had a 3D simulator ride that ran off of computer projectors and had 20-odd disk array of drives to store all the data.
Film is bulky and heavy, but has (theoretically) infinite bandwidth. Digital is small and light, but bandwidth intensive. That is from basic Fourier analysis.
