I have 4 IDE ports on the mobo and a PCI controller with another 4 ports. However due to the length limitations of the IDE cables I cannot use all of them. And I have plenty of space in my full tower case.
I still fail to see why this article is interesting. It only spends 50% talking about how Microsoft announced a year ago BizTalk and how it will be a year late and then mentions ebXML in half a proposition.
Why are these two different and what is different and how complicated a bridge between them will be to implement?
IBM backs SOAP and 50 unnamed companies are already installing it (perhaps like the dummies in a company I know that install service packs beta on the production database and mail servers).
Who else besides SUN wants ebXML and how many companies are testing it?
Taco: can we please have a ZDnet checkbox in preferences, please?
This ranking method makes me think of Erdos Number.
You can read in extenso here:Erdos Number Project Homepage but basically there is a graph constructed with vertices for each one of them and edges for co-authored papers.
One such vertex is Erdos and the Erdos number of mathematician C is the length of the shortest path from C to Erdos.
I don't mean to disparage the hard work that the authors have put into this project, but do they really think that this can compete with KDE and GNOME?
Somewhere back in time, 1992
I don't mean to disparage the hard work that the authors have put into this project (Linux), but do they really think that this can compete with AIX and Solaris?
Fast forward and you'll see... (and I am talking about low/middle end servers)
As a H1-B worker I see _MUCH_ more that my fair share of "software enginners" who do not know what an algorithm is.
I was in a company where a "experienced" C++ senior consultant was teaching C++ at a college. Another colleague of ours took the course and they had to implement a Fraction class. When they turned the homework in, the "master" gave them a "reference implementation". Guess what? The reduction algorithm was recursive! When I explained to my buddies the Euclid algorithm for the biggest common denominator they were mesmerized. They asked me to prove it:) And I did that too - in my country you learn Euclid in the 6th grade and you learn the proof in the 9th.
There is no shortage of "programmers" here. There is a shortage of competent ones.
You know what pissses me off about being on H1 visa here? The taxes. And not that anybody else is happy with them but:
1. I pay for Social Security even though I am not eligible (since I am a temporary here)
2. For a resident there is a tax exemption if [s]he supports a family member. For me there is no exemption. I do support two families back home (mine and my wife's) but I can not claim them since they are not residents.
H1 visa program started in 90/91. It brought here around 600,000 - 700,000 taxpayers. And I am not talking about taxes from flipping burgers. Think about what monies went to local/federal and social security funds.
And think that each of these guys bought a car, bought furniture, houses even and see how much money we circulated in the american economy.
I was thinking to convert my/usr (which I mount read-only) to iso9660. Would that reduce fragmentation?
I am looking for a _simple_ filesystem to store a bunch of read-only files. There is no need for all the metadata overhead and I guess iso9660 will do it.
Of course it will make upggrades harder, but with some script to copy all the/usr into another partition, install/upgrade there and then mkisofs it back it can be done.
Different subtopic:
I am not interested in a dumb ramdisk: it is stupid to load programs from ramdisk into kernel caches/buffers and then to main core.
Optimize the kernel so it does not need to "load" a program from/usr in memory: it's already there, execute it from there. The same with shared libraries.
My problem with immigration is the quality of the immigrants that Canada is allowing in.
I'm all for immigration, but I want them to learn the official languages of Canada.
I have firsthand experience about immigrating in Canada from an Est-European country. The process takes a year. It starts with an appraisal of your and your spouse's abilities: job experience, education level, fluency in both English and French. It takes a couple of interviews at the Canadian Embassy (surprise in English and French) until you get the approval.
embraces with open arms and settlement bonuses ($$)
Actually when you land in Canada you have to pay a landing fee of about $1000 per adult and (I guess here) $200 for children. Also you have to prove that you have enough money to support yourself and the family for six months - for a family of three this means a little over $10,000.
That infrastructure is in place to bring MORE MONEY and not to make athlete's life easier.
How else are they going to obtain this money without licensing and sponsership deals with major corporations?
I don't care. Why do they need the money in the first place?
Maybe if the Olimpics will be in <put here a country name> where child porn is legal would that be OK for you that they will advertise child porn during the show in order to make money for the infrastructure?
Maybe it is OK for you to see the broadcast at TV, but I am in a foreign country and I don't care at all about local athletes, I care about my fellows: I was hoping to be able to find out about them on the internet...
Slashdot Mirror
ReiserFS was planned to be included in 2.4.1 .
I cannot quote the message but sure it was on l-k.
Now THAT would be a juicy target for the script kiddies around the world.
Imagine gazilions of Windows "Installations" calling home for authorization.
It will be fun for M$ to keep that box running.
They will have all kinds of "electricity" and "weather" and "router" problem, like in the security contest W2K vs Linux.
So now you have to keep the NIC and CD in the same box.
:)
Thank GOD for the NIC is much more resistant
We heard about Intel and IBM... [And I have recommended IBM for so long].
I want to know where my money will go: Is VIA supporting this? And how about other hard-drive manufacturers: Seagate, Maxtor?
Would you advise buying Samsung and Fujitsu for IDE drives?
And finally: what IDE harddrive do you see yourself buying in a year?
This might have hit the PCI videocards but think about any other high-bandwidth card you might want to use: Ultra160 SCSI, Gigabit ethernet.
Hardly "legacy hardware"...
That's almost useless.
I have 4 IDE ports on the mobo and a PCI controller with another 4 ports. However due to the length limitations of the IDE cables I cannot use all of them. And I have plenty of space in my full tower case.
(Open|Net)BSD anyone?
Last time I've checked (NetBSD 1.4.1) didn't even came with Perl: you had to build it or to fetch another package.
And that would be useless since I can further distribute them.
It is GPL, remember?
You can download what application you want from warez. Do you think a GPL application would not propagate...

And how is this an AMD problem?
Is the motherboard/memory/fan/power supply AMD certified?
No?
It's on the second CD, in the /preview directory.
You have a bunch of 2.4-testXX kernels.
MAN! Just go to a mirror site and take a look. It takes 10 minutes.
IANA Cryptography Specialist but what about chaining two of the algorithms?
I remember that in PGP the message is compressed first (so the amount of redundancy is minimised) and then encrypted.
I am sure the first public beta will be codenamed KBill.

If there is a significant discrepancy between what the employer is paying its visa workers and what it is paying American citizens
That's cool unless it is a consulting firm whose only Americans are the account executives.

Well... even if 1000 vb programmers install Linux and play with it this doesn't mean that Linux and Alan give up Linux for Windows...
No matter how many newbies enter the ranks of the Linux users... there is enough place for everyone.
Or you do think you have to use all of 1,500 applications SuSE ships on their CD?

Yes, and you want a single [political] party too.
rests upon a huge infrastructure

Well for sure it would have -Y- instead of $.
