Is it just me, or are there a DB-9 serial ports on the controlers.. I thought Apple considered RS-232 legacy and obsolete?
The Fibre Channel protocol can run over both optic fibre and copper. Those DB-9s may well be for the Fibre Channel-over-copper support they cite.
Like SCSI, Fibre Channel comprises a protocol and some physical layer specs. In many cases, when you use Fibre Channel to connect to storage, the protocol that rides on top of Fibre Channel is: SCSI!
BSDish for US citizens and corporations, and GPLish for others.
That's definitely a violation of the spirit of the GPL, and probably also the word of it.
A copyright holder can license his code under as many licenses as he sees fit. There is no reason why Federally-produced code could not be licensed under the GPL, and also under a modified BSD that is restricted to US citizens and corporations.
Right now, even the very latest graphics cards aren't ready to do much more than play games and put pretty pictures onscreen. If graphics companies really want to replace CPUs for professional rendering, they've got a bit more work to do.
A stunning example of stating the obvious.
The hardcore 3D gamer market is small enough; I can't see manufacturers busting their humps to serve an even smaller one.
I just got a gateway running NetBSD working with IPFILTER. Works great for me. I think the patent office can officially insert a penis in their ear and dance all night if they have a problem with it.
It's the holder of the patent you have to worry about, not the patent office.
I'm running Linux on a couple of machines where the memory is of differing speeds: a fast eight megabytes and then the rest of the RAM is a lot slower. Can existing Linux kernels handle that sensibly?
One way might be to configure the slow RAM as a ramdisk and use it as swap.

Next stupid question?
Your subtle allusions are lost on me, Commander Taco.

Trust a compiler? A heartless assemblage of algorithms and logic? Are you insane??
If you want OpenBSD, you know where to find it.
What a joy is it to see the gene pool skim itself.
I haven't read a single message in that thread, and neither should you.
You should take more care, and avoid having unsupported problems.
Judging by the diagram here, the DB-9s are indeed not the FC ports: http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/fibre_channel.htm l.

The LNX-BBC doesn't need to be burned on a business-card-sized CD, it's just designed to fit on one.
I hope it's triple-ply.
Come on, lynx has been doing this for years!

You know, if there's nothing but pap like this in the submissions queue, it's perectly okay to JUST POST NOTHING AT ALL.

LISP has neither strong typing nor namespaces. Forth doesn't have much of anything, bar stacks. Do we really need an Ada clone?
Yeah, like your friends are so special.
Right, except that you just REVEALED YOUR CUNNING PLAN in a PUBLIC FORUM.
No, they are not related.

Believe me, you do not want to be a sysadmin of any kind whatsoever. You think you do, but you don't.
