I think that is only the module, which is basically the CPU and I/O assembly. You still need to plug it into a board which has all the standard connectors. I think over on the side was a link to a development kit for about $1,000.
But they'd prefer for you to spend the time of a salesman to learn these things rather than put the prices there and set up a real catalog which has such information for those who want to buy an appropriate set of devices.
If you're using parallel programs, Beowulf is nice. But for ordinary use, MOSIX is better because it will distribute processes across systems automatically. So you just set up your piped scripts or parallel make the usual way.
Don't you wish such web sites would mention the prices in more obvious places? Unless they're giving their stuff away?
Actually, all things should have their prices shown. I'm sometimes shopping for PLCs, compact PCs (sometimes that Linux box has to fit in a shoebox on the end of a crane boom), or ordinary PCs. I always have to consider the price range.
That's if the info was public before the patent. There is a one-year exception, where the inventor has one year after publication to file his patent. The publishing of a patent makes the process public, so your statement makes no sense if you know the process. Obviously you're not aware that the patent is public info -- anyone can go look at that precious patented process, but the patent blocks them from using it freely until the patent expires. The advantage to society is that the patent does eventually expire.
After the patent expires then they are open. So the inventor of the perfect steam train throttle valve could enjoy its profits for 17 years and after that every manufacturer could improve their product with it.
If Coca-Cola had been patented on some basis, the recipe would be available to everyone by now. I'm sure that company prefers the trade secret approach at this time...
So fix it. Make the kernel able to load a new version and continue all processes...

Say, anyone have a pickle jar booked on a Shuttle flight? I'd like to fill it with Helium and glue it to MIR.
Remember the recent story of research in using a plasma field as a solar sail? Would one of those generate enough force to offset the drag on MIR? Granted, it could only be turned on when the solar wind would push it away from the Earth (or in a forward direction in the orbit) so it would not slow the thing down...
You'll have to check with your Space Lawyer. If a ship at sea is abandoned then it can be salvaged. But if the owner sends the ship on a course toward a reef, can you salvage it before or after it hits the reef? A lot easier to buy it earlier...
MIR and ISS have to be boosted to higher orbits periodically because various forces (mainly atmospheric and magnetic drag) slow them down. The MIR sponsors simply no longer want to keep paying to keep MIR in orbit. If MIR were put in a higher orbit and abandoned it would eventually come down through the altitude of ISS and be a threat to it. Clamping MIR to ISS would still require that someone send up fuel (or bring it down from the Moon) to keep them in orbit. And MIR/ISS have to be continually flown to keep their solar arrays turned toward the Sun.
I'm intending to write the music at 32kbps MP3...why, I owe $160 dollars in tax per blank.
That is just what I was wondering. Canadians should ensure that their legislators know that the tax on a blank CD should definitely be $160 because of this. See what happens next.
Sigh... udanax is yet another technical site which forgot to say what their stuff does!
There should be a paragraph on that page which says what Green and Gold do and are used for. Yes, I remember the old BYTE summary...would have been nice to have back when disk space was expensive...
My employer's sysadmins spent at least 3 days ealing with Melissa and its aftereffects. That's three days that they didn't spend working on their normal tasks. Multiply that by all the companies that were infected by Melissa, and, yes, you're talking serious money.
More realistic minimum: $100/hour * 2 sysadmins * 8 hours * 3 days = $4800
The $100/hour includes benefits, employer's taxes, and other things which don't show in a wage. This assumes only 2 sysadmins (plural was used by original poster) and does not include other losses, such as recovery of damaged documents and employee time lost while machines being cleaned.
A felony is often based on dollar value of loss. Depending on jurisdiction, $4800 is generally well above the felony minimum. And this is just one company.

How much power does a human body generate? Maybe it could power some computers...
Now where have I heard that idea before?
Seriously, there are possible sources for human-powered wearable computing.

Is it a coincidence that today the share price of Sun Microsystems went up while Applix and Corel went down? News.Com noticed stock price changes on opened-source Star day.

I'll admit that at the poles, under the winter ozone hole, there do not seem to be many frogs on the ice.

Because the Sun has 99.86 percent of the mass of the solar system and we couldn't bother it even if we dropped Jupiter in. There's already more iron, plutonium, and everything else there than in the entire Earth. For that matter, a single asteroid has more metals than the Earth's upper crust.
And even more if one instead records 32kbps MP3 using the full 5 MHz bandwidth of a video signal...
Which "them" is that? HNN, mindsec, d.net, Microsoft?
Oh. I thought he meant that he needed a head injury before he began liking Microsoft products.
Thanks for saying "Thanks, Bill!", although in a few more words.

- Low end: $20/hour * 2 sysadmins * 8 hours * 3 days = $960
- More realistic minimum: $100/hour * 2 sysadmins * 8 hours * 3 days = $4800
The $100/hour includes benefits, employer's taxes, and other things which don't show in a wage. This assumes only 2 sysadmins (plural was used by original poster) and does not include other losses, such as recovery of damaged documents and employee time lost while machines being cleaned.A felony is often based on dollar value of loss.
