Dungeness B in Kent, UK took 21 years to build and comission. It was the first commercial AGR to be built, but one of the last to be comissioned, it took so long... Also, gas cooled reactors have different characteristics to water-cooled ones, different protection requirements, different Maximum Credible Accidents etc. The AGR is a very safe design, and gives a very low radiation dose to staff (and the environment) and is 40% efficient c.f. 33% for a PWR.
It's kind of weird, every time I post nowadays, whether it be genuinely informative, funny or whatever, it either gets ignored or moderated as -1. I am now down to karma 39 and still posting at 0. So how much karma do you have to have to get to post at +1? Any why is disagreeing with IBM automatically -1 troll? Please enlighten me?
You've got it 100% correct. I wish that you could be modded up to +1e6 Perfect.
I shall save your post for posterity, so that in 30 years time, the next time the world in in this state (and M$ is history) people shall be enlightened.
You wouldn't know a mini-computer if it fell on you (and squashed you flat). The thing in the article is a micro computer. A mini computer is much bigger, think filing-cabinet size and teletypes:-) The youth of today. Just what do they tech you at school? In my day we did machine code. On a 6502 single-board computer. With an LED display. And a hex keypad. You don't know how good you have it with your dual Pentium 7 Athlon Linux Technology.
They were either harking back to the days when you could build a java interpreter into the kernel as a compile-time option, or got muddled up with the fact that most Linux distributions come with the JDK which contains a JVM, of course. Beware of "technical" stories on business sites.
I thought it had already been done (lighter than air stuff) about 10 years ago? Maybe like polystyrene but with helium in it?

Uranium's radioactivity isn't all that dangerous, however it is a heavy metal and concentrates in the kidneys if ingested, causing kidney failure. Not saying that the radioactivity isn't dangerous at all, it is if you're exposed to it for long enough, just that its chemical toxicity is bad too.
When we had DOS6.22/W3.11 in the desktop, I had my drive repartitioned and an "unofficial" install (i.e. against the rules) of Slackware 4.0. When WinNT 4.0 got rolled out, passwords got put on the BIOS etc. that put an end to that....so I left the company.:-)
10-20% Hell, with software raid alone and, say, 8 15k RPM U160 SCSI drives you can easily get a 100% speedup. As soon as you go for hardware striping, your bus becomes the limiting factor, not the drives, that's why medium-high end boxen have differential SCSI i.e. 2 SCSI controllers speaking to 1 array. Try 10 drives in a stripe over dual U160 SCSI controllers. :-)
What I'm interested in is the PPC port of Amiga OS. I wonder if it would install and run better on these machines? Next I think we should try UNICOS and just for good measure OS/400
Yes, you should have tried Slackware. Runs fine on a P100. You can install it including with X and GCC in just under 200 megs of disk space. Haven't tried ZipSlack though. You only need ~100 megs of drive space for that. 32 megs of RAM should be plenty, especially with the 2.2.x kernel.
You should also mention that NVidia have done what the Linux kernel developers should have, and written their own interface between the kernel and their binary-only drivers. My experience with a TNT2 Ultra, once they didi get their drivers out, has been superb. If the kernel people would provide a standard (fixed for at least a x.*.x kernel series) interface for device drivers, we might find that a lot of companies that are scared of open-source suddenly start to make Linux drivers available.

/opt/sfw/lib and /opt/sfw/include.
/usr/sfw/lib and /usr/sfw/include and Sun will provide technical support for them (the ones in /usr/sfw).
Yes. And I thrash the nuts off of it.
Anyway, when you have the companion CD installed on Solaris 8, all of those libs and headers to which to refer are in
On Solaris 9, some of them have been moved into

Er, um, and so has Sun, if you've been testing out S9.

You will be impressed.
Hor grits? In Natalie Portman's pants? In a beowulf cluster? KICK MY ASS?
There are too many of us drunk Jocks in the London area for that to be practical.
What have queers got to do with it? Don't you mean "bunch of reds"?

"why would they support x86-64 OVER IA-64? "
Because if you knew anything aboutr processors, you'd realise that itanic is a turkey.
