It must be something specfic to your system. I usually burn at 42X with no problem on an IDE CD Writer. I am usually listening to MP3s at the same time and system is completely usable.
Yes, thank god someone if fighting the evil Intel. That evil corporation who have made supercoomputing power availible on the cheap. I don't know of anything predatory that Intel has done beside making good products.
Why is attacking NetFlix bad? What has NetFlix done to get on geeks good side (beside be first to market with an extremely cool service)? Wouldn't it be great if the price of that service cam down?
I don't see why gentoo would be much more work for a large business than Red Hat. Both need automated updates, but updating gentoo seems just as easy as updating red hat.
It would be pretty pointless to change the code overnight. With some many copies of the kernel source around, what are they going to do, change every single copy in the world? If the code is there, it will be found.
Yes, but having the source of SELinux and the vanilla kernel sources means you can diff the two trees and get a very good idea of what has been changed. Viewing the changes in this manner should make a code inspection managable.

Usually there should be no legit users of a 'honey' device. Most non-malicious users scour the net for open-relays, they already have a server they are allowed to send from.
What I find interesting is that it doesn't seem to me that users need, or even wanted auto execute email. I don't know if someone at MS thought it was a good idea, or whether some marketer wanted it. I have not seen any other use of executables distributed by email other than porn and stupid games, which are probably trojans anyways.
The unix tradition is that when a user creates a file, whether it be directly or though downoading an email, its execute permission is off. This means that either the email client, or the user have to go out of their way to change the permissions, then execute the binary. Yes, it is still possible to shoot yourself in the foot. The ability to only screw with your own files is a benefit though. You personal documents are a lot more likely to be backed up, hope, than the full set of applications and system files. A virus which messes with installed programs or system files often means a complete rebuild of the system. Corruption of personal files can usually be fixed by a quick restore from backup.

tmpfs is actually even better. I resizes itself as need, so it only takes up as much memory as is needed.
The clever explanation I heard for the 'human battteries' was this. Morpheus is wrong. Of course the ower generated by a human isn't meaningful compared to what they consume. But they mention the use of Fusion. The explanation is that fusion power is a very tricky process to regulate, to the humans are used as a massive parallel computer to control the real power plant. Any energy they produce is just icing.
Now, if the robots have enough computer power to simulate reality for millions of humans, you might think they have enough computing power to control the power plant, but oh well, I thought it was a clever excuse for a pretty glaring hole in the movie.
If you are worried about down time, it takes a hell of a lot longer to reboot a machine rather than restart a service. In the case of a stateless service like apache, users probably wouldn't even notice.
As for the utilization, you were probably making a joke, but he did say 45% on _some_ networks.
The difference of patching on Linux as I see it is that, kernel patches are rare, and are just about the only update that requires a reboot. All other services can be upgraded without affecting the rest of the system.
Windows seems to give these black box security updates, all of which prompt for a reboot, whether it is technically neccessary or not, I don't know.
I can't believe those guys are gone for good. They were syndicated in ustin for a while, I new them from New York. They got kicked out of Austin a few months before the big blow up.You'd think after all of the crap they pulled previously that WNEW wouldn't be too shocked by the, um, 'act' in St. Pat's.

Very true, but some one who sat around watching sports and drinking beers 7 hours a day while he was broke would also be called a deadbeat.

How about sperate lasers for each track, like the over speed readers?
I'm happy enough with the 0.000000000000000000001% chance of bad data when using md5sums.

I have had really good xperiences with the newer Seagate ATA Harddrive. Even at 7200RPM I can barely hear them seeking.

What in the world does this patch have to do with ease of use? And further, what does the kernel have to do with eaase of use for the average user?
I hope real nanotech is a little smaller!
Why not just implement this on your client? Its not hard if that is what you are after.
Solaris (original Russian version), ... anything but Stanislaw Lem
I thought Solaris was by Stanislaw Lem... Did you mean 'anything by Stanislaw Lem' or is there another Solaris?

Great, even though we have people paying for the privilage of seeing dupes, we still get to hear about the dupes in comments to other stories.

I believe it was Greenland. I believe you would find this in Julian Simon's writings.
