They can mandate that there be no BIOS other than MS BIOS on the motherboard or they can't have the designed for Windows XXX logo. You wouldn't want a "choose your BIOS" option to confuse users and interfere with the wonderful integration and smooth operation now, would you?
I'm jumping at the opportunity to have verisign provide infrastructure for casting ballots, given that they've proven themselves to be sooo trustworthy and full of integrity.
Naturally Verisign gets to do what they please with ballots that are not cast.
4. It's a final year project. Sorry, but this guy's just an undergraduate student, no offense but I find it highly unlikely he can come up with something superior to X, QT and GTK (all of which this system supposedly replaces) in a year of work.
I was under the impression Linus started work on Linux while an undergraduate student?
It would be better for Hard Drive manufacturers to quote the size after formatting and installing a filesystem to avoid confusion. I don't know if you're trolling or trying to be funny or what.... but quote the size after formatting and installing WHICH filesystem? FAT16? FAT32? NTFS? EXT2? EXT3? Is it a single partition?
Maybe they should also account for the fact they there is slack at the end of each file, so you can't actually use all the space unless you have all files as multiples of 2.
Money, that most open source clients, don't have Just to clarify your point.... money that OSS clients couldn't arrange for under free software licenses even if they had it.
They could demand 0.1 cent per copy distributed that precludes distribution under most open source licenses.
Slashdot Mirror
then BIND people would probably find themselves sued.
On what grounds? If none of the web advertisers have sued Mozilla over the popup or image blocker features I fail to see how verisign could sue BIND.
THe classic Cryptograpy book you're talking about is Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier.
I believe he was talking about 4096 bit RSA, not 256-bit symmetric keys, but I could be wrong.
Anyway... he'd assumed that you could do one operation with one electron-volt of energy, which is about 1.6 * 10^-19 joules.
This processor can do 25*10^9 operations with 3 W of energy. Thats 3 joules of energy for 25G operations or about 1.2 * 10^-10.
So to come anywhere near 1 eV per operation requires a further reduction in power by a factor of a billion
So you've asked for a refund on your education, then?
why is this frontpage Slashdot news?
Because slashdot only has a front page
How about you just move to a communist country?
Hollywood can never render Ford turning in to an infinite number of penguins better than you can in your head," as he put it.
Duh... all they need is an infinite-node Linux cluster.

Is that you Peter?
You have way too much time on your hands, don't you?
I have mod points. But no -1 bullshit mod option :(

Yes. And photograph you as they do that. More porn!!!
more intersted in governments that server the people
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Governments that server the people! And they should be Linux servers too!!!

You got my enlarge your big toe e-mail? Sorry about that.

Ah now I know why.... in your picture the phenomenal ugliness of the keypad is much too obvious
Any other application of it is as silly as putting Linux on your toaster
I'm posting this from my toaster, you insensitive clod!
Ah I guess then that you can burn enough karma to keep you warm through the winter. Great going.
This is slashdot and you're post isn't pro-Linux. You're just ASKING to be modded troll or flamebait. You must have lots of spare karma to burn.

Surely you mean 10487578
No they're not... when you pay for a 4.3 GB disk you should be getting about 4.6 billion bytes, not 4.3
As soon as it sees the domain resolves to the same address it can move on.
No it can't... that would blow virtual hosting servers to bits.
