the chips that sense your cpu-temperature or voltage usually connect to the SMBus which essentially is a simple i2c-bus.
If your computer uses SDRAMS it already has this interface but it can also be found on some video-in-cards (where it controls the tuner (the i2c-bus is often used inside TVs or VCRs for this)) or you can wire it to a spare parallel port.
So if your computer does not have those monitoring chips... you could just add them later.
See http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/hardhack.html for some initial info.
Your kernel configuration (make menuconfig) may give you some hints, too... (Character Devices -> I2C-Support)

I understand that "linuxprinting" does not
sound like "How can I print in Windows" but
this page gives you the details you need to know
when you try to use it with a different or more
generic driver.
If queried about your printer, linuxprinting says:
--> Traditional "GDI" printer;
so you are dependant on drivers you get from
the vendor. Therefore the printer has been sorted into the category "Paperweight".....
> Is AMD trying to associate itself with a software
> company out of Redmond?
Well... not with the software company itself but when Microsoft spends huge amounts of $ to make everyone associate that "XP" with "modern, fast, up-to-date, stable,..." they sure want to ride that wave...
Yes, many people know and understand what the Cisco-Icons (well... the standard icons, I don't think people easily recognize the "Router doing label-switching with integrated firewall and voice") mean.
But unfortunately the nice coloured ones are only available for Powerpoint and Visio.
Luckily Staroffice can open them:-), but I'm waiting for a dia or kivio version.
> Will 2.4 kernel with highmem support
> not address 64GB in a single process?
I assume you are talking about 32Bit i386
Linux:
No, highmem only raises the bar for the
total amount of memory, the process is still
limited to it's 32bit address space, I think
the maximum abount of userspace addressable
memory is 3GByte (1GByte reserved for kernel).
You just don't have to backup/usr when you
can just reinstall them from the CDs they came on.
-> Just save a list of your installed RPMs
(redhat has a script for that purpose, I'm sure
debian, slackware,... has something equal)
And your 50GM collection of MP3s doesn't change either. So just save them to CDr, which you can
stick in your cheap DVD-player for easy listening
on your home-stereo.
So just make some permanent backup of things
that will not change and incrementally backup
only things that are changing.
I doubt that your current programming project,
your mailfolder and other things that change
often are more than you can fit on a DDS3 DAT Tape...
And if your computer breaks, you just reinstall
your OS from your saved config (insert the CD,
wait 15 Minutes, you can make yourself a pot
of cofee in the meantime), when it's done
you add your CDs (which of course have the
proper location the data on them wents stored!)
while the DAT fills your/home with the last
backup and your'e set.
Other slashdotters have already postet links to very interesting programs, but I'm not shure if those take the physical link-status in account (which I whould find very interesting).
But if you want to do some programming on your own you should look at mii-diag which can monitor your ethernet-card's physical interface and tell you when your link goes down (physically).
Using this as a basis, you could write a very simple eth-phy-daemon which could start a script whenever your physical link goes up/down. Then you could change your network-config with those.
MS-passport which Microsoft wants to be *the*
authentication mechanism of the whole Internet
does not allow to edit your account-details

Of yourse that's only because all other browsers

Intel should get the compilers out *FAST*. And even if it's just a reference-design without bells and wistles it will impress the testers and you could expect your P-4 optimized mpeg-viewer much earlier.

I think, everyone who has to deal with pdf files on a regular basis should know that you can see how parts of graphics are built up and then overwritten again.. So this should hardly be new info for those web-publishers...
And arguing, that telling people how amateurish this ducument was "redacted" would be endangering lives is just wrong.
The secrecy of the names in this document has not been compromised when cryptome published the unredacted version, and it has not been compromised when the "redacted".pdf appeared. It probably went thru many hands long before the article appeared on the nytimes website, so people interested in these names (even the ones who would not know a computer if it fell on their head) problably knew them long before.
And because.pdf most likely is just postscript in disguise, one could make these black rectangles transparent anyways by simple search/and/replace (if one knew the encoding used... but just see the ghostscript-source for details..) anyway.
If I sign something with a GPG/PGP/S-MIME/X509/... key stored on my harddrive, I know that there are 100 ways to steal this key (and 100 ways to snoop my passphrase...) so I would say this is *very* insecure and anyone (with enough time and money) surely would be able to sign anything he wants using these methods.
But even if we assume, that I own a chipcard with embedded unbreakable public key encryption which hides my key from everyone (including myself, so I (or someone stealing my card) cannot store this key on some external media)... How can I be sure, that I'm really signing this contract in exactly the same form I am looking at on the screen right now?
The Chaos Computer Club has demonstrated[1] how you can use someone's chipcard-reader over the net. Banks using chipcards for electronic banking are too miserly to use terminals which include some form of display (which might say: You are now signing a transfer of $1234...) for feedback right from the card.
But I'm sure, when signing a contract of well... let's 20 pages of text, only some form of checksum will actually be transfered to the smartcard...
Will the display then read: "You are signing a document whose md5-sum is 68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940?"...
On the other hand, anyone can read my credit-card-number if he happens to find a copy of a receipt in some store's trash, so electronic signatures surely will improve the security of these transactions...
One point often made when discussing the new domain (or domains like.shop,.bank,...) is, that it will make it easier for companies with simmilar names to have "nice and short" domain-names, so that one takes smith.com and the other smith.eu....
But the big-ones will just register their name in every.xx they can get their hands on and will sue everyone who has registered this domain before...
As long as people do not understand, that there is such a thing like www.de.company.com (instead of company.de) or www.company.com/de or www.company.de/product (instead of e.g. www.hp2000.com for HP's 2000-Printer) this just makes no sense....

On telco-equipment the standard input is -48V DC. You can get routers/switches and PC power supplies with this input, too.
In case of a blackout they simply run on 4 lead-acid batteries.
This may be very convenient when powering your computer from solar cells, but unfortunately these -48V supplies tend to be very expensive :-(.
