But most of us didn't leave our mothers' wombs knowing how to write an awk script or optimize assembly code by hand. It's good to know so many people here do, though, judging by the way they seem to come out in droves whenever Jon writes an article. I really love being around so many gurus; sometimes it's overwhelming!

I think that might be a good solution. Or maybe just painful torture, followed by decapitation. After a few dozen people have been seen walking around singing falsetto, people will begin to think twice about doing retarded shit like this.

You can change the host ID of a sparc or an SGI easily. You can change an ethernet card's MAC address (which is especially easy to do on a Sparc - hell, it's in the NVRAM FAQ.) You cannot, however, change the serial number on the PIII. Each one is unique and permanent. All the comparisons I'm seeing between the PIII and other pieces of computer equipment have so far been invalid.

I can still get hundreds and hundreds of full CDs in MP3 format, without any watermarks or other means of tracing them back to any source. This won't stop anything, and it won't catch on either.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about the tape drives. Why anyone would want even one, let alone eighteen, of those drives connected to their computer had me baffled fot a moment.

I get just under 9 MB/s in linux with my Seagate Barracuda (it's a narrow drive, but narrow versus wide doesn't matter when you only have a few devices.)
At any rate, 3 MB/s seems too slow, by a factor of 3 or so.

Software patents too for that matter, but I'd like to see trademark law totally overhauled first, so baseless cases like this aren't even allowed to make it to court.

...sometimes it's nice to see something like this, though it was admittedly lame. I for one am ambivalent at best about the prequels, and find the constant press machine Lucasfilm is perpetuating to be rather, well, annoying at times.
(What would be cooler to see would be Lucas getting smacked in the face with a creme pie, like what happened to that EU guy and Gates.)

At least as far as security goes, it's historically been one of the worst OSes around. I won't deny that SGIs are cool, though. I've got two of them at my desk (and am using one now to type this).

And all tests I've seen say it beats an equivalent PII, at everything, by a considerable margin (c.f. anandtech.com, tomshardware.com, etc.). I know where my money will be going next month, and it certainly won't be to Intel.

THE JON KATZ DRINKING GAME!
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Here are the rules:
1) Every time Jon mentions all the publications he's written for, take one drink.
2) Every time Jon uses a buzzword, like "cypherpunks", "hacker", or "code junkie (?!)", take one drink.
2a) Corollary to 2): Do NOT take a drink every time Jon uses the word "geek", as you will die.
3) Take three drinks every time Jon paints a rosy picture of the 'Net. Add another drink if he mentions only the Web specifically.
4) Take two drinks every time Jon mentions how often he gets flamed. Add another two if he mentions how much he enjoys it.
--------------------------------------
Anyone care to add rules?
