  1. Re:Delivered by Russians? on Trouble on the International Space Station · · Score: 1

    How heavy could the gyoscope really be? Physical package yes, but a large mass?

  2. Re:DWDM ? on Intenet2 Backbone Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Actually, right on the homepage for CA, they state that they use DWDM.

    Internal Beowulf? Multi processors on one die with their own L1/2/3 cache on a crossbar fabric?

    Might need a new fab process to get the size down but it could be interesting. Drop a processor and keep on going as the OS rearranges itself around the fault.

  4. Re:When I was kid. on When PC Still Means 'Punch Card' · · Score: 1

    Actually, I DO walk uphill both ways to work! There's a valley between my house and my restaurant.

    Hell, Cybex and Rose have been doing KVM extenders for years.Depending on the model, theyt use a special DB-25 cable or they have started doing them on CAT5 and they route the audio down the line. The advantage of trhis is you can use a patch panel. I'm looking at getting one shortly that will go back to a KVM switch with audio so I can move these noisy fans into the kitchen where for some reason I have like 6 15 amp circuits.

  6. Re:So why can't Canada launch themselves into spac on ISS Airlock Installed · · Score: 1

    They can't even play football right. They're still squabbling with Quebec over soverignty issues. The Canadian dollar once worth about USD$0.92 is now down only worth USD$0.64 (source: http://www.xe.com/). Canada can't get into space without hitching a ride on a more advanced nation's ship. Actually, it was worth a hell of alot more at one point. And through out most of the 60s, 70s and 80s, the Toronto Stock Exchange was worth more than the NYSE, like double.
