Use ulimit in/etc/profile and limit each user to a sane number of processes. I set mine to 128. Ran a forkbomb, and the box slowed down quite a bit (processor spiked...hehe) but I was able to kill off the offender and things came back down to normal.
who said Linux will get us all fired. He's only posting a story right now because it's fashionable with LinuxWorld and the RedHat IPO. Give it a few days, he'll change his tune, or tell us that Win2K is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Why do we even bother with "journalists" like him? Well, I guess we all need comic relief in our day (I sure as hell do).
Most of this article was news a while ago, but not now. He's only posting it to make his money and cover his ass. All he cares about is getting hits on his aticles to make himself and ZDNet ad money.
Yesterday's "Ask Slashdot" had a lot of focus on solid-state mass storage. Now, today, this thing comes along, with that remarked P2 cartridge? It's got to be a hoax.
you won't be running tasks that fit only in the CPU's onboard cache, you'll be needing data from main memory all the time. Right now, the bus between main memory and the CPU is a bottleneck on both Intel and AMD. AMD'll just be making it less of a bottleneck by opening it up to 200MHz. SO we should see those worthless ZDNet benchmark scores go up quite a bit. Along with just about all your other apps.
PC100 memory on the systems. Imagine the difference when you're running that K7 on a 200MHz bus with the appropriate memory. What's Intel's next bus speed bump? Only to 133MHz?
You can only make a mechanical device operate so fast before the laws of physics start destroying it - or making it prohibitively expensive and large.
If we want to get out of the slow storage days, solid-state mass storage devices will have to become practical for everyone. Or some of the other fancy stuff that only exists in labs right now will have to become a parketplace reality. Hard disks as we know them appear to be coming to the end of their evolution, at least in terms of speed.
I admit, I haven't seen all of Leo's work, but what I've seen hasn't even come close to impressing me (The Man in the Iron Mask had potential, but not wth him in it). I've heard that Rick Schroeder may also be in the running - he'd be a much better fit. Vader is a large, hulking, powerful figure remember, and Schroeder is MUCH closer to that than scrawny Leo.
Plus, if Leo's in it, it'll just ruin the whole experience of going to the movie. Iron Mask was ruined for me, in part, by all the teen girls there just to see him, squeeling and oohing and aahing over him. I'd rather miss seeing Ep 2 in the theatre than have to put up with that crap.
Carmack has 3 Ferraris. Actually, he had 4, then decided to give the 348 (I think) away in the tourney last year. And he has quite the penchant for hopping his cars up - he put a twin turbo on his new F50.

No significant increase can be gained by feeding the CPU data twice as fast? What are you smoking, and where can I get some of it?

More likely, telnet service is just disabled. I get the same response if I try to telnet to my box on that port while running Q3 in dedicated mode.
A striking resemblance to Pinky of Pinky & The Brain?
You can't legally make money off Calvin & Hobbes. Watterson hasn't given anyone rights to it.
I just got a brand new truck a week ago ( http://www.clarkson.edu/~levyam/dakota.jpg ), and that sticker ROCKS! It'd go great on there.
Only one problem. There are some nasty copyright, etc. issues with Calvin. What if it was Tux instead?
