No you are an ass that doesn't care about facts or others options, you are off topic, will not post under your name, and clueless. Why do I even try to enlighten the dim witted. Maybe you should just try to understand others feelings, viewpoints and beliefs before belittling them and SCREAMING YOUR OWN at the top of your lungs. AND TRY TO KEEP ON TOPIC!!!!!
1. I am not technically pro-life. I actually think that abortion should be legal. 2. Pro-life people don't want embryonic stem cell research. Adult stem cell research is just fine with them. 3. This break through is using adult stem cell research. 4. Embryonic stem cells have not really been very useful. problems with rejection and other issues.
You are clueless, you will not even try to understand people that disagree with you, and you are a zealot that keeps screaming because you feel your world view is unquestionable.
This could be real useful in general. Cars could tell each other what speed they where doing, what roads they where on "for avoiding traffic jams". Weather info, gas prices.... Seems like a good use for ZigBee.
I understand your desire and there are OSs like that out there but like everything else in life software development is full of trade offs. You have x amount of developer time and you must divide it between features, fixing bugs, and writing tight code. Contiki is an example of favoring small code.
Well for one thing. Embryonic stem cell research really hasn't been very fruitful. This is Adult stem cell research which frankly is exactly what where the anti embryonic stem cell people say most of the funding should have been going.
Second, Just a comment. Next time anyone you love or even care about has a miscarriage see what the emotional effect of them loosing the "baby" is. Would you tell them to just get over it because it wasn't a baby? I am not what the Pro-Life people would consider pro-life but I can understand why the feel the way they do.
I also understand how some of the pro-choice people feel. Oh and I am not what the Pro-Choice people feel is pro-choice so I am pretty sure that I am right where I should be on this matter.
Why is that? This isn't embryonic stem cell research at all. Nobody has any problems with this research. So 1. You don't know what your talking about. or 2. You are using lies and fear to support your political viewpoint.
We will not put wind turbines where we had forests for the most part. As I said I just have to wonder. The key is that right now we can build nuclear plant that will make megawatts of power with very low carbon out put. Yes there will still be some for the transport of the fuel, and construction of the plant. Fuel reprocessing while more expensive than just mining more fuel and store the waste will extend the available fuel and reduce the storage problems. BTW is is also cheaper to just burn coal and run it out a smoke stack then to use pollution controls.
As to waste heat. Yes eventually but by then I hope we are moving off planet.
But you are loosing a lot of performance to save a few dollars. But if the database is read a lot and write a little in nature then as I said RAID 5 isn't terrible. Just not ideal.
You only need to watch over the waste for "thousands of years" if you don't reprocess it. Wind farms and solar both are limited by the fact that you can not throttle them. I am all for them but until you develop a clean, long lasting, and cheap battery that has about 1000 times the current energy density of current batteries solar and wind will only meet a small percentage of our power needs. Nuclear plants are a stop gap. If managed correctly it is a 100 to 200 year stop gap. By then we better have fusion down pat. Also I do wonder about the environmental impact of extracting many thousands of mega watts out of the wind system. It may be nothing but then I remember when hydroelectric dams where totally "clean".
"they may drop packages," Do you mean frames? pretty much the same thing a collision. The problem with Ethernet is that it is none deterministic. For really high performance uses it is less than ideal. For most things it is just fine and dandy.
Well so far most of the distros I have seen on netbooks are not that great. A lot of people just install Ubuntu refresh on them. Android is designed for a small screen and low cpu power. It may be a good match for netbooks.
You mean like I said here. "Actually for really high performance databases and video editing systems they will use RAIDs of really fast drives like the Western Digital VelociRaptor or if money is no issue at all 15k RPM SAS drives."
You are without question correct in an enterprise setting. Raid 5 isn't too bad with a good hardware controller and offers a good compromise of speed and size for a small departmental server. I would still use RAID 1+0 but I know people that are just too cheap for their own good. The raptors I think will be game changers. They really push down the cost of a very high performance raid. Again not enterprise level but dang fast. Notice also I was also talking about video editing at the same time. Video editing is about the only use of RAID 0 I can think of and to be honest I would still go for RAID 1+0. I will also bet you will see a lot of raptors in that space.
A raid doesn't replace backups. It is an aid in maintaining up time and increase speed. The problem is that backup media is now really lagging storage. I use external drives as back ups but they are not my first choice. Right now they are my only one for some data sets. Another back up I have become really fond of are flash drives. I keep one attached to my PC all the time as an extra backup. Just copy the source directory to it as well as the server.
The problem with Wikipedia extends way past facts. All too often people will write opinion into wikipedia articles and present it as fact. Facts are easy to fix if they are really facts.
There are databases that could use these. Three in a RAID 5 would give you 3TB of storage. Or you could do four in RAID 1+0 for 2TB of storage. Also people doing video editing can use the space. For those users the speed is an issue. I guess they will just have to stick with tiny 1 TB drives for now. Actually for really high performance databases and video editing systems they will use RAIDs of really fast drives like the Western Digital VelociRaptor or if money is no issue at all 15k RPM SAS drives.
Actually I think it still does. I got this from the Wikipedia. "Despite the physical star topology, hubbed Ethernet networks still use half-duplex and CSMA/CD, with only minimal activity by the hub, primarily the Collision Enforcement signal, in dealing with packet collisions. Every packet is sent to every port on the hub, so bandwidth and security problems aren't addressed. The total throughput of the hub is limited to that of a single link and all links must operate at the same speed." Switches are different but I believe that even they can have collisions. They do tend to have buffers to handle them but they can overflow.
When will we see a port to the Palm Treo? And how about a lightweight netbook version? Or just a light weight GP disto based on Android. The hard part will probably be the JVM/JIT compiler.
I think it had a lot more to do with cost. Ethernet was available first and had more hardware suppliers so the cost went down. Token ring was really popular with IBM. It was almost a standard for IBM systems. I have a few microchanel Token Ring adapters if you need them:) FDDI is Token Ring on fiber.
"She's terrified. Some well-intending anti-telemarketing folks have posted her address on the 'net as well. " Welcome to vigilante justice.

No. Ethernet uses collision detection and resending to to manage packets. Well it used to anyway. I am not sure about Giga-E The way Ethernet used to work is that a sender would listen to see if the line was clear and then send a packet and listen at the same time. If the packet was damaged by a collision the sender would wait a random amount of time and then try to resend. This system really bugged a lot of people but it was cheap and it worked. This is the actually physical layer and not TCP/IP.

Not really. Most netbook distros are actually pretty heavy compared to say puppy, DSL, and Google.
