You're mixing up mass (an amount of matter) and weight (the gravitational force felt by matter). The kilogram can be used anywhere. Only using a device based on absolute measurement of weight (spring based scale) will render the device dependent on the the local gravity field. Yet, true enough, this is how most of modern electronic scales work (they could still weight a known internal mass for calibration to work that around, but I don't know if or how this is actually done).
Yes, it's for drivers for proprietary PCI hardware (only used in-house). It doesn't belong to the vanilla tree, obviously. The porting of the drivers is not very difficult, as once everything compiles, it usually works. But finding out about those tricks is sometimes long. It took me some time to find out about this RED_HAT_LINUX_KERNEL symbol.
is at the end of linux/rhconfig.h, which is included from linux/{autoconf.h,modversions.h,version.h}
And compare the function prototype of remap_page_range in linux/mm.h from a redhat kernel strictly older than 2.4.18 and from the corresponding vanilla one. (Vanilla source can be found here to save some kernel.org bandwidth).
This is very real. An for redhat 9, I even had to parse the/etc/redhat_release in my makefile to have something portable between RH7.3 and RH9. The trick mentioned in the previous post becoming insufficient.
As a kernel module developer, I saw that those backports included API changes in the kernel. The API seen from a module is not the same in RH's kernel and the vanilla one (with the same version number). This is not something that one cannot overcome, but code gets bloated by this kind of constructs:
To explain it, theoretical physicists may have to modify their theory of the colour force; or make X(3872) the first example of a new type of meson, one that is made from four quarks (two quarks and two antiquarks).
So this could be a bound state of 4 quarks. That's new, true, but the zoology of this kind of particules (bound quarks) is already huge.
Well, the stakes are not the same, and the volume of counting is also not the same.
I think it's a big danger having those hackable thing to choose who runs the country.
And for the bank, don't you double check you bank statements? Errors are rare but do occur, and fraud on visas are far from uncommon.
The thing is you can audit what happends with you bank. In the voting process, due to secrecy of the vote, it's inherently dangerous to put it in a black box counter because the average joe citizen has zero possibility to audit the thing.
In my case of paper voting anybody can show up after the vote to see how things go, even without beeing on of the volunteer actually counting.
In 2000's case in FL, the error rate was higher than Bush's margin. With hand counting, any given citizen can tell the error is zero for his own voting office (if he cares enough). If Bush had enough brothers, the US wouldn't have to care about runnning next election;-)
So, zero cheating, zero error is tremendously hard to achieve with machine (for voting, due to secrecy), both technically and economically achievable and been achieved for centuries with paper voting and proper scrutiny.
Why not stick to paper voting? The ballot box is locked for the whole day, and usually every party sends an observer/militant to scrutinize each voting place. Having around 500/1000 registered voters per ballot box makes it easy to count by hand (1 hour for 10 people). And every citizen is wellcome to look at the counting. So in every place, every citizen can be sure there was no cheating in his/her area. Then the authorities come out with spreadsheets of the result, and everybody can check the summing and the result for his/her area.
I'm strongly against any automatic machine counting, because cheating is too easy to conceal with those. No citizen can double check the process, and if a court apoints an expert to scrutinize the system, he's again a single point of failure.
Having a machine to count for you is a waste of resources, and driven only by lazyness, or by somebody who wants to look hip, and the danger of cheating is increased.
The license you bought, you can wipe your arse with, it's all its good for.
Wouldn't he be able to ask for big compensations in the following class action for extortion that should follow?
Also what about the story of Microsoft buying SCO shares some time ago? Hasn't SCO become somehow a Microsoft satellite company, spreading all this FUD and intimidation to drive companies away from Linux in fear of litigation (at least for the moment)? I mean, SCO will be scrified at the end of the day, that seems clear.
Typical illeterate and pretentious American comment: one, they plan to send a probe, not astronauts (you didn't read the article), and two, you suppose that because they're indians, they'll fail. Time to upgrade you power grid, while Indians go on the moon, son.
Well, soldering in hovens is by no means an unconventional way. Nowdays components are in BGA packages (ball grid arrays), which are matrices of solder balls under the package (see image). Those baybies can be soldered ONLY in an hoven. Same goes to the chipset of the motherboard of the computer you're using right now, unless it's a rather old one. So those guys apply the indutry standard to an amateur project. You can note that the things they solder could also be soldered with a soldering iron. Soldering a BGA that way can be more problematic, but that would kick ass! (usually BGA comes with multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), so you wouldn't be able to go outside the professional circuit anyway).
You can add having 2 full blown colonial wars, that promise to sting out for quite some time, plus a recession due to overspending on top of populist (and taylored for the rich) tax cuts. In 3 years! That's enormous!
Makes me think of the rise of the Nazis (seen from Europe, Dems are center-right, and Reps are far-right with this taste of Inquisition from Christian Coalition).
The Reishtag burning down was the "terrrorist attack" that allowed Hitler to push Germany in the downward spiral of police state and Nazism.
I wouldn't say that Bush is Hitler, but he might turn out to be a wannabe dictator, and good ol' Osama gave him the Reishtag he needed on a silver plate. From the (right now down) whitehouse.org, I learnt he said a dictature would be a lot easier.
He also comes from the corporate world, which is more arstocratic that democratic in its way of working (purely hierarchic (sp?)). (Hence the sentence)
So I see Bush potentially turning out to be America's own Hitler light, partially thanks to the way the events will turn out.
America also has its higher people (American Citizens) and lower people (the rest could just be detained secretely or even killed without judgement with current laws). Lower people sometimes extend to recent citizens with Arabic origin.
Of course, America could wake up, but Germany didn't at the time...
(sorry I repost, previous post looks broken) They wouldn't. They want to charge anyone on the blocks for using their patented groundbreaking discovery.
The wrong thing is the cheap thing. The co-processing cards are never cheap because the market is small. An FPGA prototype is in the range of $100's. And the gzipping will be neglectable with regard to the amount of work in the DB.
What kind of line are you serving if you want to do 10s of MB/s ? If you do, don't you have load balancer? What is the average throughput of an idividual server then?
A hardware DB offload engine would definitely be more inpressive, and I thing much more usefull.

Quoting the last paragraph of the article:
