on a REAL computer (albeit big iron), OS400 does exactly what they are proposing. Sure, the as400 has a bunch of smaller processors that operate the individual subsystems, but isn't this somewhat like what the video card industry is stepping towards in terms of GPUs. If your hard drive handled all of the hard drive tasks (meaning it only requests/sends data to the CPU) things would be a lot faster. Also a lot of proprietary hardware, but that's what standards are for. something like this is years away, but there is a limit on how bloated and stupid an OS can get. (sorry XP, but your 1000MB butt is too big for my taste.)
Maybe this whole thing about McAffee ignoring Magic Lantern is so that McAffee will have to make a statement to the contrary, and follow it up. Has it ever occured to you that maybe McAffee didn't think about it, and would detect it just like anything else?? Maybe this is the same deal for Trend Micro, if you prompt them to say something, they are certainly going to say something to make the public happy, if they don't follow up on it, it's false advertising. IANAL, but can't you sue for that?
Before we gutted the remainder at my work place, we had a couple of linux machines running token ring. A webserver with a IBM Lanstreamer card, and a couple of old old OLD ISA tropic chipset cards. They all worked great with no problems. The lanstreamer was a 16mb one, the tropics were 4mb. IBM - hardware that's built like a tank.
I don't normally agree with katz, but I do this time. I wish more people realized that the rampant commercialism that is this holiday season (in the US for the most part) is really not what it's about. Same for the net... It's about freedom, free speach primarily, and the ease of sharing ideas with minds who are alike. I think i would have chosen Linus as well, but the programmers.... What about Larry Wall or Tom Christansen? Perl is the language of CGI that im gonna guess that about 85% of websites use if they have any CGI at all... This year has been about net interactivity.. we could give credit to the guys that made it possible? I know they aren't the only ones, but that's just my 2 cents. --Matt
Yeah, i guess. I have mine pumped every 5 years though, and in 5 years if were not all dead they should have the pumper trucks working. And i have well water, that comes from far away from the tanks!
At my work, Penn College (www.pct.edu) we name our servers after famous physics people. hmm. here goes: Einstien - AIX WWW Hawking - Linux news Bohr - Firewall monitor
and then there are my boxes, at work i do Nine Inch Nails names. Ruiner - My graphics box Reptile - WWW staging Violent - Game Server Piggy - CDROM GOD Closer - MP3 Box
home: scary movies in pairs: Leviathan - mine (NT) DeepStarSix - linux Mother - dns 1 (bsd) father - mail (linux 1.2.13 i dont need to upgrade damnit)
Sphere, in some scene (i havent watched it in a while.. but in some scene there was a linux login (2.0.36) i think... no idea what the name of the box was.. but its real. (mental note to watch again)
I work for Pennsylvania College of Technology (PCT affectiontly by the locals, or Penn College) And we have all those programs available as a short course, in addition to normal CS/EE type things. We're pretty inexpensive too, I think about 8k$/semester for a non-resident. check it out at www.pct.edu
Its all a buncha BS. it is 100% possible imho to have a unix box and an NT4SVR box competing for the same "highest" uptime. our WWW (AIX) and DNS (NT) boxes never go down. the real problem here is the stupid NOVELL using sysadmins pulling the power cable on the boxes to restart them because they dont know how to restart a service. just use WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
a friend of mine had his collection bite the dust due to a hd phenomenom known as bitdrift. 5 gig about. i am currently not having this problem, being the owner of a cd burner, and an old 386-33dx box that has 3 NEC 4cd-6x changers. that's hmm.. 4 cds * 650MB * 3 drives = 7800 mb of online music per shot. figure about an hour per album @ 128Kb/44KHz is 100mb, sometimes less, thats 78 albums at once. now this is a shit load chaper than one of those 200 CD changers you can buy. 128K sounds bad only when burnt to cd, probably b/c of the 128 to 160 conversion. as for playing to a large stereo, its probably your shitty ass soundcard.

tamu.edu IS NOT TEXAS TECH!!!! ITS TEXAS A&M! You insensitive clod!!!
And how long before Arnold is sent back in time to kill Hemos' mother before Hemos can post this on slashdot?
And will Hemos' mother escape, and will john dogget be sent back to kill Hemos?
We all know Hemos' mom is tough.

That was the narrarator, at least in that point in the movie.

Has anyone seen Josie And The Pussycats (the movie, not the TV series) This is starting to be truth that is stranger than fiction.

dont forget Jason@BattleBots.com either. He is their creative director and directly emailed Mr. Lyon about the problem.

I sent the same message to him too. Don't flame him, that just puts the
My girlfriends grandfather still has his 12' dish in the front yard, and still gets the nasa channel.
Not to mention he can watch dan rather pick his nose during commericials. now that's funny.
And get tv shows days earlier than there regular air time.
Long live the BOD
eh. do a little looking into and get free porn all the time on your TV. Amen.
The compositing of Bjork's face and the mechanical android body/head is some AMAZING work.

thats all i can say. Die Jar Jar, Die.

maybe its time to ask for a little money instead of CPU time. i'd give them a few bucks for the effort (10$ us)
i'll deal with 2 t1s and a 100 meg switched ethernet. there aren't that many students, and 200k/s on a bad day is fine by me.
screw the RIAA, they, like the us government are a bunch of usesless beauracrats (sp!)
I may not be able to spell, but that's my opinion either way.
I must agree. I'd like to kill that little punk. he exemplifies "pretty boy"ness... i wish someone would assassinate him.
