We've got an Operon cluster too. It's just not as big, only 600+ nodes, if memory serves. It may still be only Athlons right now, I forget if the upgrade has happened yet, but it's definitely in the works.
Their servers have been able to do this for some time. As a result, Gaim has been able to do this for a long time (a couple releases now, at least).

USB KVMs Compared
·
· Score: 4, Informative
I just finished returning the Belkin switch they reviewed here. I found it to be unusable, because of some major shortcomings.
The first thing was that it didn't work with my keyboard (logitech wireless). The F7 key was useless when plugged into the KVM. This was relatively minor, and they promised a firmware upgrade to fix it. Also, for those that care (I'm not one of them) the "internet keys" don't work.
The other problem I had was also keyboard related. The KVM has a keyboard emulator, which sends keyboard events to the computer, after receiving them from whatever keyboard you have plugged in. If you hold down a key for 3 seconds, the keyboard emulator fakes a key release. So scrolling stops after 3 seconds, and if you're ctl-clicking to select stuff, and you take more than 3 seconds to do it, suddenly the ctl-key is no longer pressed down, and you select just one item. I got the impression that this wasn't going to be fixed in firmware, but rather in the next revision of the product.
Also, the response time was sluggish at best, typing felt like i was in an ssh session over a slow link. Oh, and keys stuck sometimes.
I was planning on getting the IO Gear one instead, as I am told it doesn't have the same shortcomings. Here's hoping.
I too attend a major VA university, I'm a CS major. In one of my CS classes this semester (2xxx level class) the department switched to requiring all the coding to be done under Linux, and everything has to compile and run on the Linux machines in one of the labs (Mandrake 8.1, gcc 3.0.3). In the hours before the due date, the class web discussion board was flooded with my classmates having trouble trying to port their code from MSVC++ to gcc. No matter how many times the professors tell them to develop in UNIX like they've been taught (the UNIX class is a prerequisite for this class) they refuse. It's kinda fun to watch, I will admit.
If i remember right, this "flamewar" started when ESR wanted to change the output of each of the drivers to contain their CONFIG_ symbols. This got a lot of people irritated, and then the reasoning he used was "Aunt Tillie."
actually, apt-get install cruft, and then run cruft. It will remove old programs and libraries that aren't needed that you don't want anymore. It cleaned up my system quite a bit.
They can't make everyone carry a drivers license, so this really isn't of any concern. They're just making it easy for state DMVs to share info they already have.
I realize this may be far-fetched, since it's supposed to be back-compatible, however...
Is there any chance they managed to make WAP for 802.11g not a joke? I would think that would be a major selling point, in addition to the added bandwidth.
just curious: is it possible the problem you're having is caused by NFS, not by the VM? NFS has had all sorts of trouble on different occasions. You might try and talk your programmers into compiling a local copy, and see if that makes your problem go away.
It's a damn shame that the circuits in Blacksburg are full, considering almost every apartment complex, and most of the town, has access to a high-speed ethernet connection with a rediculous amount of bandwidth. Oh, and the cable modem network is still very much alive and well for those that don't have the ethernet set up.
Title of this article definitely needs to be changed to "DSL in select areas is at capacity";-)
Due to the massive changes in the recent Linus kernels, they haven't gotten around to pushing out ext3 patches for them. Apparently the -ac kernels were easier to create patches for, since Alan decided not to merge a bunch of the stuff from 2.4.10-12. I think they said next week we should see patches for the Linus kernels.
I work for my company during the summer (and this year during fall semester too). I usually put in enough hours that i'm about 2/3 as productive as a full-time employee would be in a year.
80 hour weeks, and the pressure of being the lead on this project WILL burn you out. I've started taking off most weekends to go down to school and hang out with my friends, because I'm pretty sure I'll lose it otherwise.
Know what the weird part is? I somehow feel BAD when I don't work a weekend. Like i'm not putting in my fair share. I don't think my boss or my co-workers see it that way, but that's the mentality i've gotten in to.
And some day we'll get VC, and then i'll REALLY have to work;-)
6 people died in the attack in '93 (IIRC). I've heard of that many confirmed dead already just counting those who died in the hospitals. I don't think people will "get over this" quickly at all.
So what "model number" will the Hammer series be? Will they try to compare to Itanium clock speeds? And what will they use as the comparison? If it's 32-bit apps? 64-bit apps?
And will that be the Athlon 5, or 6, or 7? Maybe they can license the Pentium name, after all, it's only marketing;-)
I found a fairly easy way to trust my ISP. I went to work for them. I know exactly where each of my packets go, and I can verify that there's nothing sniffing, snooping, or doing anything else besides routing between me and our upstream bandwidth provider. Believe me, it's a very comforting feeling.

Actually, we're relasing new sounds when we release Gaim 2.0.0, sometime between now and armageddon.
JEEP - Just Empty Every Pocket
This is the exact opinion of the developers.

the changelog for the debian package lists a patch to make it work on 2.2 systems. You may want to check it out.

oops, you're right. debfoster is what I was thinking of. Both very useful tools.

Does this thing use USB, or USB 2.0? From what I understand, there's a HUGE speed difference.
Yes, I meant WEP. I'm tired. Shut up.

...the PIV line is just too plagued for me to touch. Which of course is not Intel's fault and all...
I'm curious. Who's 'fault' do you think it is that the P4 is a dog?

who are the other nominees? and will steve jobs gush when they announce the winner?
That's great, since everyone on /. is always ready to give their $0.02 ;-)
