Someone posted another article from BBspot interviewing him.. In that one he said:
"Oh, and I'm running Windows 2000, because I'm too lame for Linux. But some day...oh, some day I will learn Linux, and then, from Hell's dark heart I will stab at thee!"
Our local radio station (maybe broadcast of national CBS radio) had a Structural Engineering professor from CalPoly talk about the collapse. Although the article mentions it in passing, the crash didn't serverely cripple the structure of the building, but most likely the heat from the fire fueled by the enormous amount of jet fuel heated the steel to failing point. This causes one floor to buckle and dynamically crumpling all floor beneath it like hitting a nail on its head.
And like the article stated, the fire protection systems might have been severed or possibly couldnt handle the enormity of the fire and heat.
When I was in High School (class of 2000), a couple people had PDAs so they weren't all that common. However graphing calculators were -everywhere- and used by -everyone-. Of course everyone needed it for math and science classes, right? Did most people use it for that? No.. How was this powerful technology used? Playing games.
Don't think that many games exist? Ha. Check out ticalc.org.
You wouldn't believe how many teachers complain about students playing those games in class. I mean, uhm, they're doing critical math equations, right? Sure, everyone will use the PDAs enough to show "Hey! I'm using it! It makes my grades better!" when everyone will just be trying to beat their high tetris score.

The benefit of a degree is not that it brings you more money, but that it shows, or at least should show, that you have completed a more-or-less "universal" (hence, "university") education. You should know your field/and/ some litt, art, etc. (That's the General Education), making you a well-rounded individual who can adapt to situation better than one who has not taken the time to study.
That's something I'd love to have.. But when any engineering major, not including GE, is 180 credits while almost every non-engineering major is 60 credits, it's hard to fit all those neat classes in.
The letter said "destroy over 5 years of hard work" due to people figuring out the Cue Cat method of "encryption".. The code authors didn't touch anything having to do with audio-cue nor anything having to do with the software -at all-. So it's safe to say the "destroy over 5 years of hard work" is BS.
I'm indifferent when it comes to this issue but I've used usenet archives on many many occasions.. When I started using Linux a while ago, I had many questions the average newbie would have.. Rather than bugging everyone with the same questions again, I searched and have always found an answer or something to lead me to an answer on a usenet archive.. Etched in stone or not, it's quite useful..
And to think the labs at work kept tripping a 75 amp breaker.... Sheesh. BTW, the sounds of a few hundred computers all shutting off at once is neat... The shrills of the engineers that follows is even better..
I agree with the previous poster replying to your message... I've spent some time at my work working with clusters.. I'm a Technical Intern at a branch of a rather large computer hardware company and it seems that my job this summer is to learn as much about as many types of clusters as I can.. I came into it thinking what most others think of a Beowulf cluster... Complex system with big kernel hacks and such... Man was I wrong. A beowulf cluster can be as simple as a few computers running linux, each able to rsh to each other, and each running a compiled version of LAM/MPI (as the first cluster I made was).
The master node sends a work message to the clients, they work on it and send the result back. Using the programs, the LAM/MPI message passing starts the program on all nodes (ie. rsh to each client and runs the program).. Then the master sends out the work request.. the clients do the calc. then send it back to the master. Simple as that (more or less...)
Other cluster types such as Mosix uses a kernel "hack" to send processes among nodes at the "kernel" level (not the correct terminology, but I dont know it well enough.) Also failover/high availability clusters are often used in server farms to take over when a server goes down or to keep up with the load..
So in all, a Beowulf cluster is just one of many many types made for a specific task: number crunching. I could go into a lot more depth.. Heck, ive been paid to read up on clusters and try it out myself.. I simplified a lot of what i said.. Email me if you want more depth.. But either way, its still neat to say I built a Beowulf cluster..;)
It does seem that people who are long-term Linux users don't use RedHat anymore, maybe because it has been geared towards the "newbie", but at the end of the day surely Linux is Linux, and you can set up any distribution how you like given a bit of time.
True, but I've migrated back to RedHat (for at least the time being).. I'm by no means an expert, but when I recently built a few node Beowulf cluster for a test at my work, I didn't have time nor did I need to tweak each daemon running (most were shut off, uninstalled or not even installed).. I did, however, want programs to compile wihout having to search for dozens of libraries.. This is probably because I'm not "good" at installing the other distros, but RedHat has been the only one to compile nearly every program I throw at it without complaining.
Hmm.. So if the Napster people add in the ability to choose which mp3s to share or not to share at installation, then they have a better chance of winning the lawsuit?
Seems simple enough. Probably wouldn't really affect the overall number of shared mp3s either.
the idea that they acted up about the whole thing in the first place should go to show you that they're just another corporation like any other...
As stated numerous times in the numerous articles relating to Napster, Napster must fight for their trademark else they'd lose it.. But yes, that shows they're just another corporation.. Any like all fads and too many many businesses, it will soon pass or go out of business (or get sued out of existance.. whichever comes first)..
