just goes to show you how powerful a reality-distortion field these mpaa people walk around in, if they think anyone is going to actually download and use their "warez detector" software.
if anyone had any doubts that the mpaa has completely lost touch with reality, this latest move should completely eliminate them.
the game was a tech demo of the doom3 engine, but the they most certainly did not "slap some quick levels together to show it off". the levels are huge and very complex and if you take the time to examine them with noclip, you'll realize it took a long time to make them.
you need a "conventional" nuke to trigger an h-bomb. you cant make an h-bomb just out of deuterium alone.
a world of purely fusion reactors would be a poor source of wmd material. the waste is useless for wmd and the fuel equally so. with no fission reactors to provide the material for the primary trigger, it would become much more difficult for eg terrorists to build any nuclear wmd, let alone an h-bomb.
that alone would be a strong argument for going 100% fusion imo.
Itanium's server pricing pits it against such established players like VAX, HP 3000, & AS400
No it doesnt.
Those shops are running VAX, HP3k and AS400 not because of the horsepower, but precisely because of the specific software tied to that architecture, and the features (failover, clustering, specific databases tied to that hardware design) that those architectures give them.
There is absolutely no way itanium can crack those sales. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The software doesnt (and cant, and wont -- ever) run on ia64. And given that m$ pulled the plug on ia64 clustering, thats a dead end too.
Intel designed itanium specifically to replace x86. But its now being shoehorned into a smaller and smaller niche. Eventually that niche will disappear entirely. Meanwhile intel is so obsessed with itanium that amd eats their core (p4,xeon) markets alive with amd64.
If intel hadnt been so obsessed and distracted with ia64, amd64 wouldnt have had the enormous impact it did. intel was caught completely by suprise, quite stupid really since it could have easily been avoided.
they proved they are capable of lobbing missiles over japan in 1998, thus posing a threat to their neighbors. it's only a matter of time before they scale them up to reach the continental US.
Thats the whole idea. Boost phase is when icbms are most vulnerable. Thats why the plan is to put them on jets. Fly them outside unfriendly borders and zap them when they launch.
Quite a deterrent when an unfriendly country knows theres a good chance their own icbms will be raining back down on them.
Of course theres a long ways to go before the technology is anywhere close to something deployable, but you have to start somewhere.
BTW this techology is also being developed for ground based anti-artillery/anti-mortar batteries. Something which would be quite applicable to current Iraq.
The problem here is that intel is sinking billions into itanic, its a black hole for money and intel keeps throwing more money into it trying to save face.
itanium has not delivered on a single design goal since its inception. intel went full steam ahead on itanium, placing bets on a number of key technologies to pan out in order to sustain itanium development -- all of which never happened.
so now intel is stuck with an incomplete chip with projected market share shrinking, support drying up, and partners abandoning ship.
intel continues to sink huge sums of money into itanium on an incredibly tiny niche market, which would be better spent investing on developing technology for their core markets. right now amd is eating them for lunch with amd64.
1) nearly endless fuel source(s). not so with fission. 2) waste is high level and short lived. none of the waste is suitable for any WMD. again, not so with fission.
cisco will tell you to go fuck yourself if they find non-cisco branded ram in your router. of course that cisco ram costs around $900 for 256mb... and it's just retail kingston or crucial dimms or whatever with a cisco label slapped on it.
"The demands of justice are both rewarding and depleting. I take great personal satisfaction in the record which has been developed.

Thats all very nice. Gee, I would never have thought of looking on ebay. Pure genius. Really.
However EOL most certainly is an issue if a new sploit or bug is discovered. IOS for EOL'd ciscos wont be updated. This is already an issue for many Cisco models. You are well and truly fucked if you are stuck with one. Only option -- upgrade to a newer model. Suddenly, Cisco isnt so cost effective anymore.
nhri.com? quadrasource.com? you're quite sure about those URLs, are you?
a 1ghz athlon can forward >150k 64byte packets/sec. an opteron can do >550k/sec. this is commodity pc hardware, cheap and easy to come by.
i am quite certain a 3620 cannot do that.
also, if a part in your 3620 dies (power supply, etc) you are totally screwed unless you have a spare on-hand.
inexpensive parts huh. thats why an intel gigabit pci card costs $50 while a cisco NM-1FE-TX costs $1100? is the cisco card really 22 times better than the intel card?
not to mention you're fucked if cisco EOLs the hardware.

They are incredibly far from missiles that can hit anywhere close to the US.
quite sure of that, are you?
they proved they are capable of lobbing missiles over japan in 1998, thus posing a threat to their neighbors. it's only a matter of time before they scale them up to reach the continental US.
spinning a missile would be quite an effective countermeasure.

microsoft is supposed to QC the software that they distribute. this proves they don't.
No, its another absolute proof of the complete and utter incompetence of microsoft QC. Not that it should suprise anyone.
For now, I'll give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt.
Why? they dont give it to anyone else. i say give them a taste of their own medicine.
Actually, its the Opteron that is competing with the Itanium processor
no, opteron is most definitely not competing with itanium. its competing with xeon.
The problem here is that intel is sinking billions into itanic, its a black hole for money and intel keeps throwing more money into it trying to save face.

Sure, its also possible that Martians came down and committed the crime and then high-tailed it back home.
isn't it the prosecution's job to point this out?

that means it's "illwill", self-described "hacking bum". let's see what he claims to have written:
http://illmob.org/releases.html
quite a lot of malicious software he's written there... seems like selling stolen source code fits right in with his ethical standards and moral code.
care to place a wager?
the attractiveness of fusion is:
1) nearly endless fuel source(s). not so with fission.
2) waste is high level and short lived. none of the waste is suitable for any WMD. again, not so with fission.
ok, now how many people died operating coal fired power plants? I bet its at least an order of magnitude larger.
Any news, even "bad" news, gives SCO more media exposure and more ability to spin to their advantage and manipulate stock prices.
The best way to hurt SCO right now (besides SCO losing the lawsuit) is for the press to totally ignore them.
Slashdot should just ignore SCO stories, especially minor ones like this.
