Yep, I was running a Fedora box connected to an EMC array. We had a few issues with failover, and the people that supported the EMC kept saying "It's Fedora, you're not running redhat". So I re-installed the machine with CentOS. Still didn't work, so they said "CentOS isn't Redhat". Which is true, but bullshit. Finally one of the other guys supporting the server went over to the EMC admin's office, read the EMC manual for a bit and found that the EMC admin had no clue what he was doing and fixed the settings on the EMC that were causing the failover to not work.

Lol, that's an awesome idea. You could make a mint on cables that have various ratios of Cu65 vs Cu63.. All you have to do is change the ratio and make an insane claim of how they're different due to the atomic weight.
"Cu65 makes the sound muddy, these cables have been purified to 99.999% Cu63 to eliminate this" "Cu65 can carry electrons better. This less common copper has been extracted from ordinary copper ore to produce more linear cables"
lol, I totally forgot about the/. PT Cruiser. That has got to be one of the funniest/worst prizes ever. I forget who even won the thing.. if they'd even admit to having it.
Yea, The first 1k were gone the first day if my old-fart memory serves. I forget what time exactly Taco opened up the registration system. It happened to be when I was sleeping, cause I got 431 when I woke up that morning. (afternoon probably)
Yea, this is similar to the athcool, but for current 64bit cores. Some BIOSs enable this as an option. Sorry I don't have the proper links to the specs off the top of my head. Unfortunately no one has updated athcool to support this on Opteron/Athlon64
This number will tell you what divisor the CPU is running at.. 0 is no clock ramping, and 61 is the maximum value.
to set this:
setpci -s 00:18.3 87.b=61
If you have a second CPU socket (single/dual/quad core doesn't matter) you will have to also adjust 00:19.3. This may cause drift in the TSC between the two sockets tho.. but not many applications will care about this.
True, a lot of wide bandwidth data will raise the noise floor in the spectrum, but the power limits for this "unused" spectrum will be in the milliwatt range.. DTV stations transmit in tens to hundreds of kilowatts. A lot of what hams are using the HF range for is fairly weak signal compared to what DTV stations are using. The max power a single ham station can use is 1500 watts.. most are only 100 watts tho.
This is besides the fact that the FCC rules for this spectrum use dictate that stations must detect DTV and notch their TX out of any DTV in the air.
Yep, Target also has done this. An uncle of mine was theft prevention at a Target store. They get some training on the common behavior traits of shoplifters and just walk around the store in normal clothing most of the time. They don't stop the shoplifter right away, but wait till they try and leave the store. That's where the security guy in uniform comes in.
Yep, people want to replace the polution causing car with a slightly less polluting car. The problem is that the car needs to be replaced the hard way with proper city planning, and social changes.

Yep, I discovered a retail sporting goods chain had some kiosks made of thin client termains (wyse winterms) that used a custom striped-down browser using the embedded IE rendering engine. It was very well locked down to prevent you from leaving the store's internal website. All it took was one URL I found after about 10min of digging through various pages that was a link to an outside site (I think it was the vendor that built the web server for the kiosk system) to find a URL that would let me save a file, and launch it with the normal copy of IE, and of course, leave the terminal with a full screen IE with the slashdot homepage open.
SVN works fine for binary files.. in fact, all files in SVN are binary, and all diffs are binary. It was simpler that way to handle things like UTF-8, or whatever file format you want.
I setup a net4801 in a colo rack to route traffic for 20 vlans via 802.1q to a 48 port switch. Durring testing I was able to push 45Mbit of traffic through the system. I've got a couple of net5501's on order.. mostly I wanted more ram/CPU so I could try pushing BGP feeds to the soekris.
AFAIK 802.11 (no letters, FHSS not DSSS RF mode) was around at the time.. but was usually in the form of over priced flakey breezecom gear. They were still 2mbit, and had way better latency than ricochet.
What really killed ricochet was it's expensive licensed commercial spectrum, which translated into high customer access costs.
The one Y2K thing I had to fix was the voicemail server. We had a nice trusty old OS/2 box that sat in the corner for years doing our voicemail.. everyone freaked out when all the voicemail vanished.. sure enough, the voicemail app thought it was year 19100 and had no idea what to do. I just set the clock back to 1994, and all the voicemail re-appeared. We got the y2k voicemail server patch from our phone vendor (on a single 3.5" floppy) and we could finally set the clock to 2000.
What jitter? the D/A A/D is all done on the usb device. USB is a packet bus just like firewire. The only reason firewire is more expensive is because the mac users still pay a premium price for the stuff.
Digital jitter only happens when your signal is traveling over a embedded clock signal like S/PDIF.

Crap, I'm still on LinuxOS.

Here's a tip for AMD users:
You can reduce the power used on an AMD CPU by having it ramp the clock down when the OS is in an idle loop.
To find out the current setting, you can use lspci.
lspci -xxxs 00:18.3 | awk '($1 == "80:") {print $9}'
This number will tell you what divisor the CPU is running at.. 0 is no clock ramping, and 61 is the maximum value.
to set this:
setpci -s 00:18.3 87.b=61
If you have a second CPU socket (single/dual/quad core doesn't matter) you will have to also adjust 00:19.3. This may cause drift in the TSC between the two sockets tho.. but not many applications will care about this.

And what medical degree do you have that allows you to make such a diagnosis?
It would be interesting to know exactly what the drive cycles were/will be.

Some do! The mirror at umn.edu has iso downloads disabled, and a torrent is up and seeding at 75mbit. :)
