I've been working on this project for some time now. HARD stands for High Availability and Replication Driver (although server would be a better term than driver). It is exactly what the article is asking for. The problem is that I can't do it all myself and there is alot to do, but the alpha version I originally tested worked perfectly, just stability problems (hence the re-write)
I have the Razer, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I have tried the Logitech dual optical on friends computers, and it is just not as smooth, or for that matter felt as good in my hand. I would definatly recomend going with the Razer.
I have a 760 and if you use it like me, you can use it for about 5 hours of Music + Games, which equals one trip to and from work for me. They say that you can get 10 hours of music out of it, but play any games and it burns the battery twice as fast. To answer a differnt post, the white memory sticks are only for the low end Clies to play music. I put regular MP3s on it and it plays them just fine, the remote is really a nice touch too. I even use it when I am driving (with a car adapter)
Another Idea i had was to be able to filter by thread. Kinda like a cross between nested and threaded.
Next to the 'Reply to This' and 'Parent' there would be 'Collapse this Thread'. Which would change that entire thread to 'Threaded' mode.
When an thread is in 'Threaded' mode there would be a 'Expand this Thread' and that would make the whole thread into 'Nested' mode.
Along with the feature to the break out comments that have a score above a threshold would make slashdot more readable, then I could kill the thread when I don't want to hear anymore about how DAVEO is a troll
I don't believe any of these Dooms Day articles about how a fragmented linux will be it's downfall. But I do know several people who hated the hype of Linux and went BSD. I think that as more corperate involvement come to linux, each corperation will try to make linux a little bit more closed, and incompatable. Then Either Red Hat/Caldera/Suse will have to choose between corperate support and an open linux. And if they make the wrong choice, BSD will win
Xfree doesn't support much of the high end hardware, but the commercial X-servers do. Go to Xi for the best X-server and full OpenGL support. Metro-X is another good vendor of commercial X-servers. Not quite as good but a better bang for your buck. Their servers cost between $50 and $250 depending on what you want, but they are usually worth it. As for Hardware to get. Find out what the X-server will support and get the best one.

This is really cool, 8 node cluster size of a regular Tower. Each node is the size of a CD-rom drive. And I believe that they will soon be putting out Black Lab linux which looks to be a Cluster software package. If these wern't so expensive, I would get one now.
Just Look at the email address...

I don't think there could be better news. Now lets get XFree fully OpenGL!
Doesn't Raster have something about buying dinner for anyone who could make some X calls use hardware acceleration? I call dibs!
