Not to diss the underlying interview [I'm always willing to hear about kernel stuff], but it's kinda odd that the MMS stream originates at a M$FT server:
It's almost as if this MSDN interview of an MS executive on future MS technology is somehow MS related.
Well, consider that only 400k or so XBoxes have shipped and 0 PS3s have shipped, and Apple shipped 600k iMacs and PowerMacs in Q4 2005 (both of which use Power based G5s), Apple is STILL IBM's biggest customer.
Consider the masive number of systems MS will be shiping in 1Q05 -- surely the CPUs for those systems are long since bought and paid for.

I was going to ask "What sort of idiot would pay their taxes with their credit cards?" and then realized this is America. Poor fiscal decisions are a way of life. Unless your credit rating is excellent (and often even then) you will likely be paying at least 7-9% on that debt.

Apache has only limited support for Windows...... with a webserver that does not support the Windows platform.
In what way is it limited compared to other platforms? Native sockets, threading, unicode filesystem support...
Apache is a bitch to configure for any platform
No harder than any other task you'd ask of someone in an IT job. It's not exactly some obscure, opaque piece of software that forces you into the role of trailblazer.
f you RTFA this "game router" is really only adding traffic shaping/prioritization, which is something a middle of the road router can do anyway in FIRMWARE which will be lots faster than that software.
Your typical cable routers "firmware" is either pf/netfilter or something very similiar, and isn't imparted any speedup.
If your box did something like l7-filter in hardware, then you'd have an argument...
Asymmetrical being the important part. When you are uploading you can't download and vice-versa.The switching between these two modes is unnoticeable at low usage, but as it increases your connection will start to crawl. This is especially noticeable on a system where you download a ton of files and then ssh into a remote system. you'd notice a big lag on the ssh connection...
If you're saturating your upstream, you can't efficiently ACK your downloads -- which kills throughput. It's not an issue until you come very close to your upstream bandwdith because theres always... well... bandwidth for your ACKS to make it out without being delayed.
You typically overcome this by prioritizing the ACKS (or small packets in general) before they hit your throttled connection.
For my own site, I wanted a rule that catches www.* and issues a permanent redirect to the browser, pointing them to the domain without the 'www' attached. Since I had two or three domains hosted on this box, I wanted to do it globally.
The only sane way to do this with Apache as it is today was:
their first cause of action was "Linux is full of UNIX, which belongs to us"
(Regardless of the validity of their claims) Their allegation is that developers who had access to the confidential unix code were tainted and had no business working on very similiar pieces of linux.
Which set-top (cable/satellite) receivers are doing that same stingey conversion when you've told them to output 720p?
Anyone with any real regard for picture quality, and whose equipment leaves them the choice, has probably evaluated it under both configurations anyway.
You must be kidding. The runas service is *nothing* compared to a true multi-user environment. Other than installing software runas is useless. How do you modify the registry without logging out the local user? How do you add printers to the machine without logging out the user?
runas regedt32.exe, runas "control.exe printers"? regedt32.exe works remotely as well.
Why doesn't IBM just buy out Zend? Actually, perhaps Novell should?
I suppose there is the question of how much money Zend actually makes, but I would think that the steering power and recognition might be well worth it.
Just what IBM needs -- the power and recognition of Zend.
I'm not real worried about the quality of IBM equipment for the next six months or so: I figure that most equipment designs are already in the pipeline. However, I'm keeping a *close* eye on the machines we're getting... And if their warranty terms or responsiveness changes, you can be sure we will be ready with alternatives...
I wouldn't expect any fallout from the PC Division sale within the Server Division lines.
I had this same problem too, and I could not turn it off in the BIOS. My 1 Ghz chip ran at 500Mhz most of the time, even when plugged in.
The info returned by/proc/cpuinfo will only reflect how things looked when you booted, but it doesn't mean your CPU speed isn't changing. see cpufreq (/proc/cpurfreq)
OK, Sparky, here's the deal: we need a good video chip for our systems. That chip needs to have a Free driver for Linux - binary is not acceptable as the system will be PPC.
I'd think that it's much more likely that IBM would collaborate to "port" the existing drivers to their new (ppc) platform. Even if there was no g5 to point at I wouldn't think it'd be such a gigantic effort.
I'd think most peoples' motivation is to save the time of viewing commercials, not because of some aversion to advertising.
I'd think as long as the banners don't make the ffwd through commercial slower (by assuring they're on the screen for some specific time) people won't mind.
Better for the marketing folks to pay tivos electric bills then us.
VNC buys you the convenience of detaching from it, and is just plain snappier for many apps. I'll quite often "buffer" a few apps in a VNC session for just those reasons.
Slashdot Mirror
notes7 is available now and is not Hannover based.
Hannover isn't "due" in 2006 and is essentially Notes 8.
AFAIK, JFS doesn't run on IBM mainframe operating systems. The "unix like" hierarchal filesystems available on the mainframe are HFS and zFS.
Perhaps you used JFS on a big AIX cluster?

You really think Supreme Court Justices are being duped or befuddled by explanations of people downloading music?
You can read some of the discourse over the grokster case where the Justices show a remarkable level of clarity and insight.

They're called shared object files. DLL is a Microsoft term.
It's a term/acronym pertinent to most operating systems, although the file extension may be alien to unix systems.

A joystick sends coordinates, while a mouse sends changes in position.
Even if that were true of joysticks, it's not exactly a chore to translate between the two.
