When DVD came out by the time it was affordable it was all but pointless (given the size of current hard drives). So I suppose that when this is affordable I guess the current hard drives will be 500 or 750 terrabytes. I'll stick to fibre channels arrays.(Ebay has enough of them)
Anyone know where I buy a fibre-chanel to SATA RAID bridge board?
Sad to say but I think it's a fair bet that digital signals and HDTV will wind up to be driven by copyright rather than technology.
And [people] won't be pleased at the notion that [the RIAA & MPAA sponsored] Congress has mandated that they get a $150 DRM compliant digital tuner set-top box if they want to continue watching TV. That I think is more realistic
What I get to responding to a troll, I guess. The homicide rate in NYC is going down from 13~16 (per 100,000) to like 7 or so. However it's less than 2 in Wien and less than 1 where I live Graz (which is a small city compare to NYC). My real point is that the AC which promted my comment is full of shit.
you live near the wrong city, the percapita crime rate of NYC is something like 2000% of what it is where I live. If more regular people (i.e. suburbanites) lived in your city there'd be less crime. My kids walk to grade school, in the city.
I think America has become suburbanized because of their love of the car, not visa-versa. Without the car facination the cites in the US would look different.
Also there are succesful programs on going which clean both diesel and coal (not perfect, but progress).
Really, I find the ppc 970fx cpu very interesting, perhaps more interesting than most (we use a derivative at work) but still Solaris who gives a fuck? (I could be speaking for my company a large pharma sort of place) when I say "piss off" *BSD suits my needs and NetBSD is orgasmically groovy!
I've noticed that to and had assumed the SuSE was making different packages that are generally around. What SuSE does not have (and would be nice) is an "unstable" branch for YAST.
I am thinking it was when it was my fault. We've had one system running for 7 years 24 hours a day. It was only off long enough to move it form the US to the EU. And it's been running fine since.
I've got two vehiciles: a VW camper van and a Ducati MH900E.
With the VW it is physically impossible to go that fast (without solid rocket bosters welded to it), so it's no big deal. Honestly I would MUCH rather it drove it self.
The Ducati...How can I say this...it is not possible to restrain it to the speed limit in the town I live in (mostly 30km which I mostly ignore).
Obviously I don't use this "progressive" insurance though but I think this sort of thing for everyday drivers is no big deal, how fast do you need to go to work and to the store? I can choose not use it on my Ducati:).
Additionally I most add I have lived in the US and for the love of all that is holy Somebody needs to teach y'all how to drive!;-)
Typically, I don't respond to ACs but the drink has me!
with most of NetBSD's packages all you type is "pkg_add" or if you need source (like I do mostly) you use pkgsrc and "make && make install in the correct directory. I think this is the case with the rest of *BSD (sub ports with package)
With the windows & OS X you have to find the package on the 'net first
Use Samba for example (disregarding the fact that Samba takes over 16 hours to compile on my platform) You go to the Samba directory in/usr/pkgsrc/net/samba2/ and execute the commands all of the source is downloaded, compiled and installed and because my system already knows it's a 64bit MIPS system I need not remind it so the right config and make file are processed
Having said that I must admit that SuSE's YAST is nice also because of the search & GUI and the YOU update thingy.
I use OSX daily and it's not that convenient! (It would be if Other stuff was in software update rather than just Apple
While I'm ranting about how cool things are OpenOfficeOrg native file formats are truly cool (zipped!?) and I despise XML (Disclaimer I'm an developer for embedded devices and find *ML way to verbose)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... But this was more about entertaining myself with big numbers and Google's calculator it's 10:00 pm here, my Perl + ooolib script works and I've been drinking since 4:00.
Life just doesn't get any better...
Oh. Wait it does, the script works on Windows too and I can save to Excel format. I'll worry about sig figs tomorrow!
Just to put things into perspective: Hubble launched in 1990 at a cost of $1.5 billion to build and put into orbit.
It costs about 300 million every year to operate (for a total cost of four billion two hundred million) so I would guess about 6 billion dollars so far. Using various web resources I estimate US military spending for the same time period to be three trillion four hundred seventy-four billion four hundred million.
So I estimate that Hubble cost 1/579.1 of what what is spent on the US military
Given the disparity of their intended use I'd say that there is no one ultimate *BSD. But rather several:
A BSD that can run on a toaster or on EarthSim which is compiled from the code tree
A BSD which is very, very secure and runs on at least a couple of different CPUs.
A BSD that runs really well on the most prevalent architecture and has a large software selection that is as easy to install (or easier) than on Windows or Mac OS X. Dragonfly isn't any of things right now but in the future, who knows? That's one of the interesting things about BSD: if an idea turns out to be really useful eventually it makes into all of them (at least where it makes sense) if it sucks, well evolution it pretty ruthless.
Honestly though it does seam like there is lot of acrimony (I suppose that's to be expected in cases where more than one person is involved) and I hope that resources that should have been programming weren't used in the non-technical parts of the effort to fork (i.e. a totally new website &tc.) but I suppose there is no avoiding that. I hope all of this works out, I find LWKT fairly interesting and have successfully launched a product running NetBSD which turned out really groovy.
So your are saying that he bought a device from these guys. then ripped their website off for some contruction photos. then passed the whole thing off as his brain child and evidence of his l33t hacking skillz?
Or are you saying that these (2nd) guys had the idea first and he just copied it?

Wrong!
Privatization is good for the companies that buy in and those that can afford it, that's all.
If it's done in places with a small middle class and week law enforcement it can be a very small group of people...

who now have complete control of a propaganda machine

If you were using alge to create the Biodiesel you'd still have quite a bit left.
Oil on the other hand is sequestered underground and when we use it we take from the ground and put it in the air
This is not a cycle but a one way trip
So a recap: Burning something that is mined takes things from under the ground and puts some of it in the air: Bad
Burning things that are grown takes things from the air and puts them back in the air.Not Perfect, but better
All is clear?
but I have to agree with you: it's not in cars...yet.
Also there are succesful programs on going which clean both diesel and coal (not perfect, but progress).
like I said *.bsd is very, very useful,
Solaris whho needs it?
perverse but usefull!!!
Oh and I use OS X
why would I even need SCO^H^HOLARIS?

Yeah, We use a lot of PLC stuff too, I think you could safely call it "Obscure Source"

Someone needs to beat them with the clue stick.
Or are you saying that these (2nd) guys had the idea first and he just copied it?
Or some wierd combination of the two?
