  1. VNC on Citrix To Bring Millions of Windows Apps To iPhone · · Score: 1

    Isn't VNC already available on the iPhone? Atleast jail broken iPhones?

  2. Re:Why is that even possible? on Greek Hackers Target CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    This is basically how the system is setup. Meta data about detector runs are sent from the online systems to CMSMON. CMSMON is accessible to the outside world so CMS collaborators can look at the data the detector has been collecting.

  3. Re:Why is that even possible? on Greek Hackers Target CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    They can't get to the control system. CMSMON was a machine that collected and served meta data about the detector. The hackers couldn't reach the control system.

  4. Re:I thought.... on One of the Coolest Places In the Universe · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of the SSC, which was supposed to be built in Texas but was canceled. The LHC is being built in France because most of it is being funded by the EU.

  5. GPS Shutoff on Lockheed Martin Awarded GPS III · · Score: 1

    I thought that they were moving away from this. They're launching new satellites for the current system with this turned off.

    What's the word on this?

  6. Re:You can help! on World's Largest Atom Smasher Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    There wouldn't be a sizable explosion, but the beam could cause signficiant damage to the machine. If, for instance the beam poked a hole in the beam pipe it would take weeks to warm up the machine, replace the parts, get it back under vacuum and cool it down. I believe that is why they're initially only running at ~1 Tev, to minimize the chances of breaking something while they're commissioning the machine.

  7. Re:safe? on New VAIOs Made of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 1

    Its well over 2000 degrees F.

    He's right. The solar array on our car generates over 1000watts, and its only 8m^2. The sun does put out about 1000 watts/m^2.

  9. Re:For those interested... on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    He complained that they turned it off for the multiprocessor test, not the single processor test. He said that turning off hyperthreading for the multiprocessor test would not impact performance.

    "For both the Dell Dimension 8300 and the Dell Precision 650, Apple/Veritest performed the multi-processor "Rate" benchmarks with hyperthreading DISABLED. They had hyperthreading ENABLED for the single-processor benchmarks, but DISABLED for the multi-processor benchmarks, despite the fact that hyperthreading would have improved the performance of the multi-processor "Rate" benchmarks, while having little or no effect on the single-processor benchmarks"

    Eazel used to be in the linux desktop market, right?

  16. Re:Senate? What Senate? on SSSCA Introduced in Senate · · Score: 1

    I've heard people complaining about this, but how exactly is the ban on soft money (which I thought this bill was about?) unconstitutional?

  17. Re:Fight Fire With Fire on Spammer Sues List Broker · · Score: 1

    Looking at the source to that page it seems that they have commented something out:

    You could run Netware on your file server, which allows you to do this.

  19. Re:Not at Purdue on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 1

    What about all the people that download movies and mp3z and non-microsoft non-free software here?

    I am a student at Purdue University, and see piracy everyday. I wish it would go away, and free up some frickin bandiwdth.

    I am the only one here that has an HP graphing calculator? Does anyone know if HP discontinued them?

  24. Preempt Patches in Kernel on Preemptible Linux Kernel: Interviews and Info · · Score: 1, Informative

    Does anyone think that this will ever make it into the kernel? It seems that Linus does not like this because it cures the symptons of latency in the kernel instead of the real problems.

  25. Quality Assurance on Kernel 2.4.12 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does Linus put about to be released kernels through any tests in attempt to avoid bugs like these? Does anyone else remember the brown paper bag bug at the begining of the 2.2 series?
