  1. Re:$95 on Cheap Gigabit Ether · · Score: 1

    The Hub uses an internal switch to connect the two backplanes. Try hokking up a system with a packet capture utility running on it. If the system has a 10MB NIC you will only see the 10MB traffic, nothing coming from the 100MB systems will show up. The same in reverse if the packet capture system has a 100MB NIC

  2. Re:Military Technology != Public Technology on Combining New/Old Approaches for Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    Wrong, fission bombs, one uranium one plutonium, ended WW II. The hydrogen fussion bomb was developed in '49 and is much more pwerfull the fission weapons. As stated in the artical, fiison bombs are used as the triger for fussion bombs.

  3. Re:It's pretty simple... on Munich, The Censors' Convention · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately no, any pages not self-rated will be filtered out. The same will apply to any pages that are "inaccurately" rated, at least as determined by whatever bureaucracy winds up running this in the countries that sign on to it.

    Common misconception, monkeys did not evolve into humans. We did share a distant common ancestor. We are more closely related to the apes. Our closest relative is the Bonbon (no not the candy). We split off from a common ancestor about 6 million years ago.

  5. Re:Has anyone else been watching the X33? on NASA's X-37 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the test flights have been pushed back to next year. They hope to start flying in June 2000. The X-33 is strictly a sub-orbital test vehical. If all goes well the Venture Star would go operational in 2005

  7. Its now in high gear on Gates: "Linux will have Limited Impact" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Win 2000. This is not surprising considering the high hardware requirements for Win 2000 and that a lot of NT 4.0 apps will not run on the current beta. This means that IT shops are going to be facing both hardware and software upgrades to run Win 2000. On the other hand they could keep their current hardware and just do a NOS & software change and move to Linux. This is something that Microsoft defiantly does not want as the necessity of upgrading their os/software on a regular basis generates a large part of their revenue stream. They have got to convince corporate management that Linux is NOT a viable alternative to Win 2000 or lose a lot of future revenue
