Not even a small surprise. Two years ago, people have pointed out that only the nucleus dna was copied. This new study only confirms this. A quick search on google found only a dead link of a 1997 article, cached here.
He should, otherwise his karma would be going up and down with no other explanation than "must have been some of the moderating". Perhaps show a log of meta-moderation to his moderation on his user info page, or something?
"We have the multiprocessor expertise and are currently running a 128 processor system under the MacOS"
Read carefully - apparenty their 128 processor system is not using that new architecture. It seems today they have nothing but the idea to try and build something.
It was really good to see that a little background work was done before the posting of this story.
It would be nice if he actually did the background work before posting the story. In the 20 minutes up to now, the text of the story has been modified at least twice.
From their web site: Zero Error Processing (ZEP)TM The MZ3-5000 features ZEP processing, which is the industry's first system for dealing with 100% of all errors encountered on a physical CD. Sounds a little bit like IntelliSens e (TM) to me.
The article says, "no matter how hard you hit the screen with the phone receiver in frustration, it will not break". Of course, that's something that has to be tried, isn't it?
Hmmm... So Rob announces he sold Slashdot and in the same moment mentions some donations to organisations that everybody likes. Doesn't this seem *quite* similar to what some Bill G. from R. is doing all the time? Of course, donations are a good thing, but I don't like that connection.
Now really, modest 10% look like whooping 10%? What a nice trick. But in fact moving the origin away from zero is common in such diagrams, and it is useful, because more space of the diragram is used for the differences instead of the 0..100% range that bears no information. Of course in this case, just showing one processor is faster than another, the whole diagram itself is eye-candy and not really useful.
As someone noted earlier, a single grandmaster would probably be more of an opponent than "the world", but away from "serious" chess, he got mentioned in the newspapers again.

Interesting layout of the components there... Is this used in any commercial cases? If not, have you applied for a patent? :-)
I'n not sure this is a good idea...
Sound just too good to be true.
Those who keep responding to trolls' postings do as much harm as the trolls themselves.
Their press release is at http://www.microsoft .com/presspass/press/1999/sept99/rsapr.htm, FYI.

Yes, they also have a nice logo, see their web page.
Seems that idea was too obvious.
The Linux Formerly Known As Red Hat.
Nobody is using it yet.
This is "retail sales". Nobody buys Windows 98 retail. People get it with their PCs.
"Fubar Linux has 100% of all sales to red-haired people wearing glasses on tuesday mornings between 9:35 and 9:36 am in Paris, Texas."

Now, we only have to get rid of gravity on earth, so we can use those things at home.
So, if you want to distribute RDist, you just have to add a Linux kernel to the tar file, or what? Doesn't seem thought out very well.

Take a look at Andover's advertisers info pages and think again about the probability of "nothing changing".
Now that you mention it, what a nice analogy. Still think that selling will "change nothing"?

Haven't we seen exactly the same kind of thing some 2-3 years ago for OS/2? Go figure...

Will it run Linux?
