How is that informative? "I hope it would be compatable with existing memory systems, though. It would be nice to just swap out existing RAM for a NanoRAM module and get an instant performance and capacity boost"???
Maybe you didn't notice - it said TERABIT/cm^2. Your current system probably can't handle more than 2Gig of RAM - let alone hundreds and hundreds of gig. Hell, your BIOS may not even be able to handle a HD that large.
I mean, really. 100x faster, and >1000x the storage. Think about that for a minute. Who gives a fuck if you have to toss your HUGE SLOW FUCKING SYSTEM and buy a new one?
If they do pull this off (and I think they're blowing smoke), it will make today's computers look like the vacuum tube machines of yore.
I've often wondered - what is a website's distribution? If a website (say, sourceforge) uses GPL'd software, and I use it, am I entitled to the source?
For Apps this is not a problem, but for any suite it is. You can install stuff easily using the installer app, but you can't get it out easily.
For example: try uninstalling the devloper tools, or the extra unix dev stuff.
Re:SSH is my preference

SSH or IPSec?

For my setup I create Virtual IPs at both ends of the network and then essentially do port forwarding across the tunnel to those ports. Essentially a combination of SSH and (in my case) IPTABLES. Works very well, very sweetly and NAT doesn't cause me any problems.
I'm very interested in this - could you go into a bit more detail or provide a link to some documentation? I've used vtun (vtun.sf.net) for years and years, and it is handy, but I'm always interested in other approaches.
Whereas FreeBSD + Linux is running on much less than 5% of American desktops. Who cares?
And it's not free.
Some portions of it are not some definitions of free. Some portions of it are not any definition of free. But I click the pulsing system update button and it updates my system, which is really really nice. Even nicer than the FreeBSD system, which wants me to rebuild MY ENTIRE SYSTEM when there's an OpenSSL bug fix.
And you don't get ports from FreeBSD (welcome to the hell when you want to install update anything from the opensource world!).
No, welcome to fink (fink.sf.net).
If you really need Java on really free OS
I don't, which is why I'm planning to move to OSX for my servers. Gentoo may be a fine Linux, but I've always preferred BSD for my servers. Dunno - I prefer Vanilla over Chocolate, too. Maybe there's a corrolation (and maybe I can't spell:-)
Yawn. Java was announced for 4.5, and STILL has not materialized. No, I don't want to hear about the options to run under Linux emu or the huge make install nightmare.
My next BSD server will be OSX, though I've run FreeBSD servers for nearly a decade.
Gotta keep in mind this is an initial rollout and announcement. They MAY actually allow you to buy "an album" at a time for some discount at some future date...
automate purchasing domains such as... the same why they automate buying yahoo addresses.
Buying domains is not free. Setting up yahoo addresses is. That puts a price on SPAM, which would instantly reduce it.
the RBL's would become far LESS useful. because domains have so much value, spammers are going to do everything they can to send email through domains that are not blocked... and in doing that block everyones domain.
Domains should not relay - that's the whole point. That's what RBLs are for, and why they work.
verifying headers is damn near impossible unless you have each server log every transaction and accept challenge requests. this overhead is almost impossible.
If it were an enfored requirement that you only claim to be a domain that your IP address says you are - a requirement that is not currently enforced on most mail servers, that would be easy to implement (and turn on). This would not be expensive, and when used in conjunction with RBLs would be very effective. It's worth noting that I violate this notion myself - because my reverse IP lookup says I'm pacbell, but my sendmail does not admit to that. There are some folks I can not send email to because they DO enforce this requirement.
the protocol is correct in simply taking its output and displaying it. it isn't verified because it can't effective be done.
The protocol is routinely ignored. Actually I don't know that the reverse lookup is a requirement or just advice. In any case, it would be easy to make a requirement.
I believe it can be done. What's more, it would not be difficult.
spammers will find ways around anything you put up.
If you make spam cost money, it will MOSTLY go away.
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP SPAM: (bells and horns play) you maintain a list of people you accept email from. you set up a method for people to request admittence to that list (through existing protocol).
wow. so easy.
I used and contributed to a-s-k.sf.net for some time. It had the unfortunate side effects of filtering out some automated non-spam email that I wanted. Now I do content base filtering using tess.sf.net, which is between 80 and 90% effective for me (and has never given me a false positive).
spam can not be stopped. period. if you believe otherwise you are misguided. the protocol does its jobs, and the verification of the headers and contect are to be done on the end systems.
I don't know what you're thinking, but making it impossible to forge headers would be a HUGE step in stopping spam. RBL's would become far more useful. Prosecuting spammers would be far easier (since it becomes easier to tell where the spam really comes from).
The protocol is broken in that headers are not really verified.
Dunno where you buy your RAM, but CNET is willing to sell me Kingston memory (512MB 133 MHZ DIMM) for less than $90 (one place says $65, but I don't believe them).
Learn to be flexible, add another machine to your TV and stereo,
"Neat, but why bother?"

"Neat, but why bother?"
stop trying to blame Microsoft for ruining your dreams of the ultimate entertainment center.
I never did.
If you wanted a gaming system that did things near to what you specified it might've been easier for you to buy the Playstation 2 with that Linux add-on.
"Neat, but why bother?"
Unless I bought the xbox to play xbox games, which I did.
"Neat, but why bother?"
Don't get frustrated (and redundant) just because you made a bad purchasing decision!
"Neat, but why bother?"
I'm happy with my xbox. I'll be happier when I'm running linux on it, too. Which I will be just as soon as my xbox to USB cable and USB memory stick arrive.
Do you get it, yet? Have you read the subject? Have you read my response? I think that sums up "Neat, but why bother?"
The town I live in, San Bruno, has one of the very few remaining municiply run Cable Companies in the state (US?). It's really great. I used to use them for Internet access, which they farmed out to a 3rd party. Unfortunately, the 3rd party ISP got bought out and moved on to focus on greener pastures. When the cable company decided to move to @home, I took off (seeing the writing on the wall at that time).
Anyway, my advice: If you figure that $20-$30/month goes to TV, that leaves somewhere between $10-20/month to an ISP. The upside is that the city is going to take care of the cable issues (and hopefully do it well...). $15x3000 (1/3 of the folks actually want internet) is $45K/month. That may not enough to run a new ISP, but it might be a nice additional chunk to an existing ISP.
The real trick is to find a GOOD ISP that is willing to pick up the extra customers. There may be a local (or nearby) ISP that is willing to pick up a job like this. My advice is to try to find a local house that will do it, and avoid the nationals if you can.
On the other hand, if someone was willing to set up a municiple ISP as a not-for-profit, they may be able to do well at it.
It's sad that given the number of Iraqi civilians crushed underneath the mechanized assault of the supposedly 'enlightened' Western armed forces, that such horror has been trivialised so soon.
I'll ignore some of your rhetoric, but I will say:
You were hired to do a job. You took the job and they pay you. You should ALWAYS tell the client if something is wrong. Not argue, mind you - just inform. If they want to know why, you tell them. If they don't, you don't.
If they are a "good client", you might want to argue the point more without their asking for it.

Have you skipped the linux bootstrap install, or does it do that for you automatically now?
I've installed it, too. It is a royal pain in the ass - every time you update Java or your OS. Not worth the hassle.

Apples market share could go up 10x overnight if they released Mac OSX for x86.
Reality check. Assuming that their market share is 4 or 5 percent, you're saying that they could take 40%+ of the market overnight.
