With TUX and 2.4.0, you cant beat linux right now in static pages.
What I would like to see is 2.2.18 NFSv3 mounted homedirs serving from apache vs. BSD.
PSX2 A Dissapointment? Christ. Wait 6 months. Wait longer. Wait for the *real* games. I fully intend to get this system just for the Square games anyhow.
Actually, at the midnight run hour, its really CN's fault because they want to keep a standard so if a kid turns it on at midnight they aren't forever scarred.
Todd doesn't remember the days of Dos VS Win95? Christ, it was when there was some games that were going to win95 that pissed all the people still using dos off. You think some of those early DirectX games hit it big? Nope!
According to their white paper, Transmeta uses dynamic binary translation to convert x86 code into code for Transmeta's internal architecture. This is similar in concept to the current version of DAISY which converts PowerPC code into code for an underlying DAISY VLIW machine. DAISY was developed at IBM independently of Transmeta. The DAISY research project focuses less on low power and more on achieving instruction level parallelism in a server environment and on convergence of different architectures on a common microprocessor core. A more detailed comparison of the DAISY and Transmeta approaches will be possible after Transmeta publishes their techniques in more detail.
I have found that USAA and Dreyfus (www.edreyfus.com) both have excellent web based services that work in unix. Dreyfus even uses an AS/400 for a webserver.:)
With CATV/Fiber Hybrid networks from AT&T and Time Warner, wheres that last mile problem again?
Wow, i think this is Reuters messing up.

I think that reuters screwed the story up. I bet this is AT&T saying that they will offer placement and full hosting (ala akamai style) for internet etailers.
Anyone have an actual press release, and not this drivel from reuters?
Ahh, but you dont know about mediaone in *some areas*. Where I am, we can just ask for more DHCP delegations and they just ask for a MAC address and dont care what you connect to the other end.
And your stupid to run a server on cable or dsl. Thats why I have a colocation box.
Yes. The idea that someone will actually make lots of money off of selling their cpu time on thousands of uncontrolled machines and a non-confirmed amount of participants who might leave at a drop of a hat, hell, they might even be competitors who are trying to skim out data for their own purposes. It just dont make sense. Why would you get payed, even in micropayments, for this? Why whould you want to turn your computer into a profit battleground, where the only thing that matters is that you made a buck a week on something using all of the resources instead of helping the priceless goals of the common good?
Also, where the *heck* do businesses have massively parallel problems in everyday life. this is a *very* specialized thing. I just dont see it coming.
Try putting in 8 slots of fully interleaved RDRAM vs SDRAM and you will find that the RDRAM has one hell of a better bandwidth.
In some servers youll be dealing with large chunks of data, not quake 3. If you can move one bit from a to b really fast, but if its a half gig of data your fucked with current SDRAM setups.
RDRAM has its place. Mostly its 'cause most RDRAM implementations are fucked up.
A) a univ. just said "yeah, even though its not it, We dont care, free flow of information means shit to us! We just dont want your corp lawyer dogs coming at us!" What kind of implications does this have in the future for them kind of scares me.
B) the data was not illegal or anything
This is censorship via corp. strongarming. I think people who value their data in public access on these systems should *move* immedately to ensure that the freedom of their information is continued.
Because he obviously didn't care about taking care of a legal issue without first contacting the parties at stake and finding out what it really is.
Then he goes off and makes fun of it because it 'expends' legal people.
The thing is:
A) it should expend any legal expense other than 3.5 seconds to ignore the request on the grounds that it is baseless.
and
B) I would run from this organization because they obviously do not care about the aviliablity of information and/or the legality of it, and any web pages on these systems might be at stake very easily.
I would move pages away from their systems if they can't figure out to effectively service their customers, the students and faculty.

Sega still makes Arcade games, dummy!
It's in their best interests to steer people to UE boxes if they need 'real' power.

You *miss* the STL? Which part of java.util and other nifty 1.3 classes have you not looked at yet?

Get over it, tcp is *not* an anonymous protocol, and stuff running over it will allways bring some party under the axe.

Someday look up the 'general staff' system that the prussians introduced into warfare back in the war with france.. a long time ago.
It was a radical new way of managing people, and it worked against a system that was totally about control and presenance of upper managing figures.
And yet you forget that we subsidise our gas prices.
Meaning that...
/dev/random when it is used non-interactive.
pgp5i will eat out of
In linux, with entropy based random (take time between irq requests into a 'pool', then feed into randomness generator as seeds) it is just fine.
Its the other unicies that are broke, not pgp5i.
Two issues here:
A) a univ. just said "yeah, even though its not it, We dont care, free flow of information means shit to us! We just dont want your corp lawyer dogs coming at us!" What kind of implications does this have in the future for them kind of scares me.
B) the data was not illegal or anything

That admin is an information nazi? Why?
Because he obviously didn't care about taking care of a legal issue without first contacting the parties at stake and finding out what it really is.
Then he goes off and makes fun of it because it 'expends' legal people.
The thing is:
A) it should expend any legal expense other than 3.5 seconds to ignore the request on the grounds that it is baseless.
and
B) I would run from this organization because they obviously do not care about the aviliablity of information and/or the legality of it, and any web pages on these systems might be at stake very easily.
