Not to mention that you'll need dozens of the biggest Ultra320 SCSI drives to store all that information and have the bandwidth to dump all that data onto the I/O buss...
I for one am fairly new to SCSI disks. I have used IDE drives for years. After playing around with some old 9 gig SCSI drives and comparing them to my ATA 100s, the old 40 MB/s SCSI drives hold their own with my ATA 100s as far as throughput and R/W seek times etc. I recently picked up two Ultra 2 SCSI drives (80 MB/s). The throughput of these drives easily out perform my ATA 100s. I for one am totally sold on SCSI (no matter how many buzz words they come up with) and will NEVER go back to IDE/SATA devices....
I would say it's safe to say that this exercise is probally fixed in the RIAA/MPAA's favor. Going into schools and making examples of kids with a rigged exercise is short of, well, deplorable. Leave it up to the RIAA/MPAA to think up something stupid to "teach thoes theives a lesson".
I would assume that these disks are NOT redbook compliant. I make it a point NEVER to buy an encripted CD or any CD that's not redbook compliant. Like it was said in another post they best not have the phillips CD logo on the disks.
I will do what ever it takes to block your spam from even being accepted by my mail server. It's MY SERVER, MY BANDWIDTH, MY RULES! If I want viagra I'll buy it, if I want penis enlargements I'll buy it. If you don't like it TOUGH SHIT!
This is what I have been telling some of my friends who have cable internet. One friend of mine has been enjoying 3-6 M/bit downstream speeds while I'm stuck at 768/128 ADSL. You can BET the RIAA/MPAA have a hand in this, once they get their (RIAA/MPAA) wish, downloading movies will be just as productive as downloading mp3s on a 14.4 dialup connection.
Just leave it upto the recording industry to ruin the term "Broadband".
Kind of reminds me of a comercial where they showed a PC displaying web pages and playing streaming videos almost instantly. Maybe with a 100 M/bit connection... maybe
My e-mail server has been getting hit by this thing for the past couple of days now. Last count I had hundreds of these e-mails associated with e-mail rejection errors, all in reference to mail I didn't send. Depending on what time of the day it was they were either are comming.mx.pl.ro.nl ox.com and so on.
The e-mail is very deceptive and looks like real e-mail sent from Microsoft. Other than being a pain in the ass it's almost as fun as being/.ed
With all the slot1 motherboards I have owned I never had a problem with the CPUs working loose, the retention clips seemed to work fine. Secondly, slot processors seemed to be more durable than the "socket" style now in use, there are no pins to bend, the CPU and heatsink can be removed easily as one unit. I guess I'm just a slot zealot. Oh, and to whoever modded me as a Troll, thanks for nothing..
I want the CPU/motherboard manufactures to go back to SLOT style processors. The one thing that always ticked me off was the never ending form factor changes. I thought there was nothing wrong with slot 1 processors and ATX boards, I went to all the trouble to build a dualie slot 1 only to find that Intel went back to "socket" style CPUs..
I just happened to be on HF when we were hit with the effects of this flair. I was waiting to check into a net on 7.268.5KHz when the band just suddenly went away, like god turned the propagation switch off. I couldn't receive any signals, WWV on 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz were gone and didn't come back for 30 some odd minutes. It was the coolest/scaryest thing I had witnessed in a long time..
I promise you I WILL continue to distribute/copy the Linux kernal. You will NEVER get any(extortion) money out of me, I fully intend to fully comply with the GPL/GNU of my favorite Linux distro..
I voiced this concern in another post. It would be possible to "sniff" the packets since the energy is radiated and easyly intercepted. Boy, talk about privacy and DMCA snafus there!
When the Internet and your cell phone go down the only thing left is Ham Radio. The power companys dream of providing internet access is going to do nothing but DEVISTATE the HF bands with RF pollution. Hams are not the only ones using the HF bands, the military, broadcasters and others have alot to be concernd about. Not to mention that you WILL be able to sniff packets since a great deal of the energy WILL radiate (how is the DMCA going to be enforced? ban all radios??). Power lines were built to one thing and one thing only, deliver power not deliver broad band internet services. Ham radio is still very much alive and kicking, I get on HF all the time and there is too much RF pollution there already (consumer electronics e.g. TVs, DSL modems, hubs, switches, computers etc).
I use mame to play my old favorites. I don't give a shit about the SEVERLY abused IP laws. I'm not decompiling, selling or using code in these roms to make other games, I just want to play the games of my teenage years. I used to have a full size Tempest machine but had sold it years ago. But since then I downloaded Tempest, Major Havoc and Galaga roms to name a few. Now if the game companys would just say "Use them but DO NOT use the code any other way" and I would be happy.
While this exercise was done for fun and games did anyone look at the FCC regulations concerning 802.11? 802.11 falls under part 15 of the rules and I'm sure using such a hi gain antenna put the ERP (effective radiated power) over the limits for that unlicenced service. Not that I'm trying to ruin someones fun but the FCC could issue a NAL (notice of aparent liability) over this.
But seriously, Cray is about 75 miles south from me. It would be really cool to take a tour of their plant and see the X-1 in person. At best my dual PIII 1GHz machine is good for about 640 MegaFlops, but just one of the X-1 node modules is 50 GigaFlops =) X-1 video
I am currently running SuSE 7.3 on a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2. While it works fine there are some problems with the sound server locking up when system sounds are played. Also the power management is something to be desired. Hopefully with this alliance,linux will just get better:)

SCO should stand for Start Coding Openly
This whole SCO pissing contest just keeps getting better and better.
Start Coding Openly
I agree, SCO used to be cool. But now they are the scurge of the earth. Lets buy them and change it to Start Coding Openly. :)

SCO Linux Server 4 IS SuSE 8.1
Unless you are Disney
Hey SCO, April 1st was months ago. So are you telling me you want $700 for something I can download off your site for free?
Pass me what you've been smoking, it must be pretty good shit!
