This probably isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I would consider and maybe request an eval of VMware GSX Server or maybe even ESX Server. Both let you monitor the virtual machine over IP -- in fact, there's even a web-based administration interface. And, of course, you can watch BSODs as they happen, hit the reset button using your toolbar, and go into the BIOS setup utility remotely.
Neither is cheap (GSX is the cheaper of the two and runs $3500, $1600 academic) but if you can consolidate your boxes into one big box it might be worth it. After all, it's always good to centralize your points of failure, right?
Big thumbs up for VMware.

Linux 2.4.19 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7 is based on a kernel prepatch, not the kernel that was released today.
However, an updated vanilla-sources ebuild has been in the Gentoo CVS repository for 25 minutes and should make it to the mirrors shortly, if it hasn't already. Then, you can grab the new source tree by typing "emerge vanilla-sources"; or, if you're already using it, emerge -u will fetch the new copy.
Are you suggesting that people pull their money out of the banks on Dec 31, 1999? If so, then maybe you should suggest that people avoid the rush and grab it Dec 30, or maybe Dec 29,....
...asks Landon C. Noll, nearly fifteen years before the US Treasury announces they will be printing more bills. Followed up by Bruce Adler:
I seriously plan on closing my checking account several months before the end of the centuary and hiding all my cash under my mattress until all the smoke clears.
Remember, right after January 1? The world didn't explode (it didn't even implode!), so a handful of people in the media started saying the whole thing was a hoax to drive cash into the technology sector.
They have the nerve to say that even thoigh I have a fax machine that says it's 8/2/19102.
Misunderstanding or not, HP has done something I (and many others) will not soon forget. Even if it was one rogue element of management mouthing off, damage has been done. "Backed down" or not, they were in the process of screwing more people with the DMCA for pointing out a problem with their software.
Remind me, again, why I should continue doing business with an entity like this? Give me back the old HP.
The machines are rack-mounted dual Xeon-processor systems operating at 2.2GHz with four gigabytes of memory each. The 950 processors will be added to 350 existing 1GHz Pentium 3 systems as part of a dedicated "render wall" comprising 22 racks.
Now, see, if they could get xenon doing anything useful in a CPU, I would be impressed.
Technically, you are completely and flat-out wrong to argue that UDP is anything but connectionless. TCP, a connection-oriented protocol, does handshaking with the remote computer (specifically, a SYN, SYN+ACK, ACK) before anything can take place; it forms a connection. UDP, on the other hand, allows you to just blast data back and forth, reducing latency since you don't need to send three packets before sending any data. UDP does not establish a connection to the remote host, it simply allows for data exchange.
UDP is great for DNS since queries are small and the overhead of using TCP is large compared to the data exchanged. UDP is also great for things like cache servers using ICP, since then you only need one socket descriptor that can serve however many sibling/child caches you have.
From RFC 768, entitled "User Datagram Protocol":
This protocol provides a procedure for application programs to send messages to other programs with a minimum of protocol mechanism. The protocol is transaction oriented, and delivery and duplicate protection are not guaranteed. Applications requiring ordered reliable delivery of streams of data should use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
The RFC is two pages long (as opposed to RFC 793 -- TCP -- which has 84 pages) and explains that it is simply a packet of data that does nothing but carry data. It does no handshaking in the protocol, and does not establish a connection, and is thus connectionless.
64 MB, XFree 4.2.0, a Trio64V, and the largest background service running is metalog; no inetd, no sshd, etc.
I got X onto a P133 laptop of mine (with 24 MB of RAM); fluxbox runs without swapping. But, alas, you have to admit that NT4 and Gnome are far more comparable than NT4 and fluxbox. Gnome swaps horribly (duh, base system + X takes up 22 MB of RAM) and is completely unusable, whereas NT4 does not swap at all.
It's moot anyway, because I stick with fluxbox -- but when you're talking the lowest end of the low, Windows tends to handle better as a desktop OS than Linux.
Have you used NT4 on a P90? (Recall that the minimum requirements are under a 20 MHz CPU.) It's quite snappy compared to xfree86 on a 233.
And besides which, X is slower on the same hardware than Windows is. (Not to diss X, because I use it on a daily basis; I'm using it right now.) But, that's a fact of life. Gnome runs on a 1.0 GHz about as fast as Windows 98 runs on a 300 MHz. Hardware shouldn't have to come along; Gnome should (attempt to) keep pace with Windows on the same hardware.
why the fsck are we believe the World Wrestling Foundation these days?
A better question is "why the fsck should we believe the World Wildlife Fund"?
"Forests have dwindled by 12 percent." Yeah, get over it. People cut down trees, and 88% isn't exactly dwindling, especially given that in the past 30 years the human population has doubled. The article makes it seem that forests are the only things that "absorb carbon dioxide emissions". That's a load of crap; algae are responsible for the majority of carbon-dioxide recycling, and it's always been that way.
Sure, you can hug your trees, but know your facts. (Hug your librarian instead.)
Furthermore, how would the checksum-checker verify that the checker itself is not untrusted code without loading it into RAM?
And if it can't, couldn't the offending instructions simply be NOP'ed out? Hex editing is always fun, and not all that hard. 0x90 is your friend. (On x86, at least...)
How do you divide 365 by 7? You don't. Thus, there are 36.5 "dekades" per year (which is just plain stupid). "Hey, y'all, let's make a metric week sound just like the normal word for ten years! Great!"
Buh. Anyway, didn't the French try a 10-day week? And didn't it blow up in their faces? Furthermore, would this be a system similar to this one? I don't know, I don't like having a "Uranusday", especially in the Posterior Halfweek.
Further correction: the "love of money is the root of all kinds of evil". Difference, when you think about it... the love of money isn't the root of lust, laziness, gluttony, and a variety of other evils.
Silence isn't nothing, at least not on a CD. The infringing track is sixty seconds of silence, which is not sixty seconds of zeros. (Which would still be something, mind you.) In any case, the track in the suit is 5,292,000 '0111111111111111's on the CD. (60 seconds, 44100 samples per second, 2 channels, at "zero", but recall digital audio is signed so that's 2^15-1 = 32767.)
Even if one of the two decided to use 32768 instead, the prosecution could argue there was a DC bias...

No, I'd say they're closer to AT-PTs. Though not strictly Star Wars canon, the design is much closer.
Actually, there was an AT-AT in Return of the Jedi, in one shot on the lower-left side of the screen.

You're on crack. Hash collisions incur only a performance hit, not lost data.

What about life support equipment? Air traffic control? Nuclear plant monitoring?
You've been living under a rock. Jabber has supported SSL for a very long time, as well as MD5 authentication.
As far as SIMPLE goes, well, Jabber actually exists. That's a plus, isn't it?
