  2. Re:Packet sniffing on OpenSSH Gets Even More Suspicious · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can sniff switched networks as the ARP querys are sent out to the broadcast address and received by all hosts on the segment, and then you send a fake ARP replie to that ARP query fooling the victim into beliving you are the real host. Poisoning the victims APR cache with your MAC address instead of the real destionation hosts MAC address.

    There exists a sniffer tool called EtterTap that can do this automaticly for you.

  3. Re:"Advantages" of ES on Inside The World's Most Advanced Computer · · Score: 2, Informative

    The ES is running a standard UNIX called Super UX which I guess is fully POSIX compliant and have the normal ANSI/ISO C compiler. You should be able to compile and run most Open Source programs including Gimp and Mozilla. I have compiled and used many GNU and Open Source programs like Emacs on the universitys Cray running UNICOS which also is a UNIX derviate designed for the Cray vector supers.

    Realestate and consumer goods like Houses, Cars, Boats are cheaper here I guess. Just look what you have to pay to rent or buy a house or appartment in Califonia or NewYork versus Sweden.

    Well, we have free healthcare, free care of children, free culture (museums, art, music, etc), lots of things that cost hardearned bucks in the US. I guess the average yearly salary is $25.000-$30.000 here in Sweden, that would equal to $75.000-90.000 a year in US (Salarys in US is 3 x Sweden). Ofcouse everything is cheaper too.

  7. Re:Mozilla slower then NS4.7 on Solaris on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    Maybe due to to little CPU power? You have to keep in mind that Mozilla is designed for modern computers. I have an 5 years old Ultra-1 Creator workstation with UltraSPARC-I 176 MHz on my desk and I notice the same behaviour as you. On my P-III 900 MHz IBM Thinkpad the speed of Mozilla is ok.

    You can run it on a higher nice-level to give the browser some extra CPU time. This improves things a little.

    Yeah, and can you trust your linker /bin/ld that it doesnt link in evil object files into every binray you build, and can you trust your runtime linker ld.so so it does'nt link in evil code everytime you execute that ELF binary. Oh by the why can you trust the C library libc and every other lib on your system that are used, they may contain evil code too.

  12. Maybe Peter Chubb is wrong. on Reaching Beyond Two-Terabyte Filesystems · · Score: 2, Informative
    Peter explains, "Linux is limited to 2TB filesystems even on 64-bit systems, because there are various places where the block offset on disc are assigned to unsigned or int 32-bit variables."

    From the Linux Kernel mailinglist on the status of XFS merge into 2.5:

    I know it's been discussed to death, but I am making a formal request to you to include XFS in the main kernel. We (The Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and many, many other groups here at Fermilab would be very happy to have this in the main tree. Currently the SDSS has ~20TB of XFS filesystems, most of which is in our 14 fileservers and database machines. The D-Zero experiment has ~140 desktops running XFS and several XFS fileservers. We've been using it since it was released, and have found it to be very reliable. Uh, so Peter Chubb says there is a 2 TB limit, but these science guys on Fermilab are using Linux with 20 TB filesystems on the SGI XFS port.

    There is some rumors going on the news sites that theres a 400MHz iPaq with 128 MB ram on the way, more that is more usefull as a mobile entertainment PDA than the current high-end model (for games, video, divx, mpeg, mp3, etc). Dunno if its using the old StrongARM family or the new Intel Xscale architecture (ARM based).

  14. Yep, same here. on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    I was planing to buy a brand new machine with state-of-the-art 3D card this spring coz my 3 years old PII-505 is pretty dog slow with the current games , but I suspended that until the release of Doom III. Hope fully, there will be a AMD 2700+ and nVidia GeForce 5 or what else they will call it, out by then. Then you are planing to shell out $1500 on a new system you can afford to wait some months for Doom III. :-)

    Unreal II gonna kick some ass too.

  15. HP Virtual Array on IBM Developing Lego-like Storage Brick · · Score: 1

    There are hardware diskarrays like HP Virtual Array that can do this. Just pull one 36 disk out and stick a new 72 GB in and the array will automaticlt resize and start up sync up and migrare RAID-5 data to the new available space. Very cool, combine this with a inteligent volume-manager and filesystem that can resize automaticly and you have something that works simliar to the IBM IceCube concept.

  16. Re:Supercomputer(s) on $24.5 Million Linux Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Yes, like weather forecasting codes requires thightly coupled processors with highbandwidth. Its sad to see the decline for vector supers, the only true vector ones left that I know of is Crays SV1, Hitachi SR8000 and Fujitsu VPP5000. The Sony Playstation 2 also have a vector processor inside. It requires special assembler instructions to take advance of vector calculations so not many games push the envelope and use the computing power to 100%.

    Honestly is was the language specification that came first. The first assembler compiler was written in machinecode (0's and 1's) and then rewritten in assembler, the first C compiler was written in assember, the first C++ compiler was written in C and so on. I think the first fortran compiler was implemented in assembler too.

    The descendant of the E450, the SunFire V880 is infact cheaper than the much older E450. Nobody should buy a E450 today, its 5-6 years old technology, I think is was introduced by Sun at 1996. We are currently phasing out most of our E450's which are 3-4 years old for the new generation of SunFire models.
