Many conspiracy theorists say that Amelia Earhart was shot down and/or captured by the Japanese because she would have seen their military activity in the pacific.
Although extensive consumer studies have
shown that system stability may be (positively)
affected, with the Tux icon, consumers will

Look at this example of all the hardware they're keeping track of...

I wonder how often you will have to re-authenticate your license?
And I wonder if they can track stolen systems? I know they only know a hash-type value of your system's components, it's still a "fingerprint". If a subpoena of this information could find a stolen system, that would be an interesting "anonymity test".
There's a reason that machine rooms at your job are around 60 degrees and full of fan noise...
You can't just put a bunch of systems in a rack (especially with doors that close) and push it off into the corner and expect everything to work. These systems give off significant heat and will start to panic or the disks will fail if you don't take proper cooling precautions.
I think some closed racks are required to have cool air pumped through them from below.
I have friends who have mounted large open-aluminum rail-type racks in their garage with fairly good results. (kind of like these racks)
I would think this would make physical crime rise. If people could use scanners to determine how much money people were carrying (in a crowd, for instance), then they could easily home in on the money.
This would make it more and more dangerous to carry cash.
Of course, various governments have been trying to phase out cash anyway.
On one hand I'm GLAD people complain. I hope that more people are called on the table for what they do. Yeah, it can be a mistake - some people don't understand enough about networking protocols to debug what's going on.
On the other hand, the place I used to work at had a load-balancer, and someone reconfigured one of the parameters that had an unfortunate side effect: sometimes the back-end machines would talk directly to the client machines instead of the load balancer.
for example, a client would contact our load balancer VIP, which would rewrite the dest address and forward it to the back end machine:
1.1.1.1 --> 2.0.0.1 (vip) ----> 3.0.0.1.. 3.0.0.9
client[load balancer][back end machines]
Sometimes the load balancer would time out the association between the client and the back-end machine, but the back-end machine wasn't done with the connection. The misconfiguration allowed these packets to be forwarded on unmolested. So the client machine (only expecting packets from the 1.1.1.1 to 2.0.0.1 session) would get a replies from the "cracker machine" 3.0.0.1. This would trip all the firewall bells and whistles and we would get angry emails.
It was "pretty interesting" to get these uncensored email messages from the nice girls over in customer service. However, a couple people gave us excerpts from their firewall logs and we eventually figured it out.
For instance, 137 BG Bogo-Gig (base-10 or marketing-style), which translates to 128 GB (base-2, fair and actual non-marketing gigabytes)
Any ideas on better units for monitor sizes?
Maybe ideas for MTBF (Marketing Time Between Failures?) I was told that hard-drive manufacturers actually count on several returns per drive. It's definitely not 100,000 hours like they like to say.
I think this is really common. I've seen lots of companies with gazillion-dollar conference rooms, but the engineers are still at 17" monitors with crummy tools.
Check out ip_filter for instance. To compile this for the kernel on a 64-bit box, you need the sun compiler. I tried with gcc and it wouldn't do 64-bit.
Maybe somebody got it to work, if so, I'd like to know...
Are they using 'bels' in a way to confuse the issue and make the number seem smaller than units that are more commonly used? Kind of like $9.95 is significantly less that $10.00
Wouldn't 2 bels be the same as 20 decibels? It's routine to measure fan noise in decibels and quiet ones are about 25 decibels. But using a different unit like "2 bels" makes it seem like the drive is REALLY quiet.
anyone else think this?

Ok, so that's what it looks like. However, I did an awful lot of benchmarking at my last job to get our performance up on our hardware. So what I benchmarked was our software. It was a modified version of the apache webserver. So I had extensive results from the use of our product, and virtually NO results for SQL servers, spreadsheets, 3d-games or email applications.
I just think these guys did their job (optimizing their software), and ended up publishing their benchmark results to enlighten other people. I wish I had gathered up everything and put it out there.
Basically we tested a version of apache on BSDI 4.01, redhat linux 6.2 and solaris 7. The systems were compaq 1850r p2 450x2 boxen. BSDI needed a LOT of tweaks, but ended up being the most efficient. Solaris was pretty stable, but a little slower. Linux was about the same performance as BSDI... sometimes. Sometimes it would flake out at high loads. I'm sure it's much better now, especially with tux.
I have dish network satellite service. I have the dish PVR 501 (I think new subscribers can get it for $150 or so). It has a 40g hard disk. When I record channels with commercials, there is a skip button that jumps over them. None of this Tivo fast-forward only. And the NASA channel doesn't have commercials.
As far as privacy, there is a phone connection on the box that I've never connected. (It caches pay-per-view purchases and periodically will call and upload them). But I never bought any (I already get all the movie channels).
Slashdot Mirror
However, if we delivered emacs as the desktop environment, linux growth (beyond emacs users) would be doomed.
I thought the analysis said the worm references the .91 address. DNS right now resolves to the .92 address. So no problem.

Maybe they sunk it there.

Looking at the image, I can't imagine why I would type with my hands crossed.
The picture shows an image of a right hand on the left hand side of the keyboard.

I'm suspecting that:
bandwidth in kbytes/sec
is being confused with:
keyrate in kkeys/sec
as shown on this graph.
Does anyone have any idea how keys translate into messages?
A lot of rack systems depend on adequate cooling.

I wonder if that means that by not accepting the license agreement, you fall back on copyright...
which expires in maybe 75 years... So if you wait 75 years, the GPL stuff reverts to the public domain.
So GPL + 75 years ~= BSD license?
I posted this before, I think it's pretty cool...
Google has some specialty search engines.
There's a Google Linux Search Engine (even a penguin logo)
There's also a Google BSD Search Engine (with daemon) and a Google Apple Mac Search Engine (with fruity colors) too.
Surprisingly absent (or not!?) is a search engine for that other operating system...
Let alone a heavily armed Marine in an exoskeleton...
I really wish there were a way to quietly report typo-type errors without having to post a comment...

I am even more amazed when a police officer insisted that there was no mistake
somebody mod this one up...

I propose a new unit of measure:
How about the Bogo-Gig
For instance, 137 BG Bogo-Gig (base-10 or marketing-style), which translates to 128 GB (base-2, fair and actual non-marketing gigabytes)
Any ideas on better units for monitor sizes?
Maybe ideas for MTBF (Marketing Time Between Failures?) I was told that hard-drive manufacturers actually count on several returns per drive. It's definitely not 100,000 hours like they like to say.

I don't think GCC does 64-bit on solaris.
Check out ip_filter for instance. To compile this for the kernel on a 64-bit box, you need the sun compiler. I tried with gcc and it wouldn't do 64-bit.
Maybe somebody got it to work, if so, I'd like to know...
The reason more people have not downloaded the solaris source is simple:
you have to fax in a signature to do it.
that involves actual paper, and the kind of people who would read the solaris source wouldn't naturally take the time.
mail-in rebates are a way of capitalizing on this kind of stuff.
Are they using 'bels' in a way to confuse the issue and make the number seem smaller than units that are more commonly used? Kind of like $9.95 is significantly less that $10.00
