If by "an applied point of view" you mean "give me code that I can cut and paste into my app" this might be a bit theoretical for you, but if you make it through this book you will actually understand what's going on and recognize the difficult problems.
now thats a system i'd like to install gentoo on:)
Why the hell is this +4 interesting? I'm not trying to troll here, I just really want to know? Is it more interesting installing Gentoo than.. say.. Slackware, Debian, RHEL or whatever's your favorite distribution. It already comes preinstalled with Fedora, apparently, so it's not like having it (them?) run Linux is a novel idea in the first place. Is the point that you need this many CPUs to be able to recompile everything every couple of days?
If anything, I'd think that what would be considered interesting is to see what you can do with a cluster that has 10Gbit interconnect between the boards. In many other settings, you're not able to get that much bandwith because of the cost. That much speed would probably make up for the fact that the CPUs aren't exactly the fastest on the market.
I don't have the mp3 plugin installed on my Fedora box, so I cant.. eh.. hear the fscking article, but is there really anything here that requires this to be mp3? What fascinating aspects of a text-based medium is there that can't be described properly as text? Even for people who can play mp3 on their computer, would they really be read to than read themselves? I bet this guy talks a lot slower than I can read. And don't even get me started about how idiotic this must seem for hearing-impaired people. Also, non-english speakers might have gotten something out of babelfish if they were really interested, but not much chance of that now. Oh, and did I mention the waste of bandwidth?
So what if they received their iPod. In one way or another they will pay for it in their tuition fee.
The difference for the student is largely who "they" are in this context. Consider the difference between "Hey, dad, will you buy me an iPod" and "Hey, dad, I got admitted to Duke".
crypts just have to be more computationally intensive. If you could come up with a crypt that was much harder to compute, brute-forcing it would be much harder, and you've solved your problem.
Psychonauts is also a nickname for those who are religiously following the band Motorpsycho. The Greateful Dead had/has Deadheads, Motorpsycho has Psychonauts.
Yes, this is totally off topic, I just thought it'd be fun with a bit of useless trivia.
then again, it wouldn't really be a fork. Sort of, since it has almost entirely the same code, it's just less useful and with another name. It could be called a project spork, perhaps?
First of all... getting married or moving to a different country significantly affects your life. Getting a phone does not.
I'm quite happy with my siemens s55. iSync finds it without any problems, and I can sync contacts, address-book and tasks to and from iCal. Haven't been able to get my iBook connected to my ISP via bluetooth, though. Of course, just because I'm not able to do it doesn't mean it's not possible:-) I also think the screen on the s55 is better than the one on the SE610, especially outdoors.
You say that "I need to be able to send Email to other SMTP servers, besides theirs, for a number of legitamate reasons."[1] If it's not too personal, would you care to mention what those reasons are? I don't mean to troll, I just really fail to understand why anyone can't use their server as a SMTP relay. Why do you think that your mail will be marked as spam if you use it? As long as the relay is not open for everyone to use, then you're safe. Please tell me you're not so stupid as to think relay==open relay.
[1]notice how nice I am not to point out your horibel speling:-P
Is it just me, or is referring to CERN as "the guys who invented the web" a bit like referring to Paul McCartney as "the guy from Wings"? To a lot of people, CERN is probably better known as "the guys who know more than anyone about particle physics".
As a prank to people to who don't care much about locking their terminals or keeping correct permissions on their files, you can add
echo 'sleep 1' >>.profile to their.profile. That way, each login will take a second more. This requires a bit of patience, though, since most people won't realize that something's wrong for about a month. Personally, I like pranks like this, that penalize stupidity.
stuffing hot grits down my pants while watching *BSD die.
What is this? Retro-trolling? If you're trying to keep up with the latest trolling trends at least make the hot grits stuff you down its pants or something.
I think I speak for a lot of Apple fans when I say "YEEESSSS!!! This rocks!!! It's absolutely brilliant!! Steve Jobs, you're my hero!!! This just shows Apple's ability to reinvent the computer industry in a way that Microsoft can only dream of!! HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!"

He's called it Linux. It came out 15 years ago today.
I can recommend the Little Book of Semaphores, which is freely available at http://www.greenteapress.com/semaphores/

What do you know, maybe he is the goatse guy, in which case I think we can all agree his statement is perfectly correct.
Can't tell where it was, but the speed was 150 mph ;-).
Dr. Heisenberg, is that you?
meritocracy-based communication -- attributes that bloggers are famous for!'
I accidentally read "mediocrity-based communication". Sounds about right for most blogs (with a few notable exceptions).
There are several of these in the States. My personal favorite is Carhenge

(no, I didn't bother to read the article, this is just a lame joke)
It must be depressing when you talk about what you do and everyone just thinks you're smoking crack :-)
It's sort of like when you hang around with pot smokers a lot. There's always someone who judge everything on how well it would function as a bong :-)
(on a personal note, I've found 802.11 to be way more addictive than pot...)
wouldn't it be better to have the people who actually make CPUs to decide how...
:-)
oh, wait...
whichever the best game :)
Will it get funding from the DoD? :-D
