Communigate has a SPEC entry with a cluster system capable of hosting roughly a million users (10K emails a minute, SPEC says 2M users, I cut that in half =) Mirapoint has a much more modest cluster capable of 5K emails a minute, so I'm sure they could make you one capable of scaling to 1M users. SPEC benchmarks for email solution are available her.
Which led to an interesting diagnosis of a floormates computer my freshman year. Guy had a S3 Virge card with 4MB of ram. Under windows the card ran fine, but if he loaded certain games he would get weird graphic artifacts on the bottom half of the screen. I figured out that it was a texture memory problem. His wholesaler had sent him a 2MB card with the additional 2MB modules installed, problem was that the memory they used was 10ns slower then the card needed (60 vs 50ns) and so textures above the 2MB barrier would be randomly corrupted. Guy was a PC builder and a CS major but neither he nor anyone else on the floor (almost all CS majors) could figure it out until they asked me =)
If he doesn't want his bandwidth used then perhaps he shouldn't publish something on the world wide web. This crazy global system of linked documents is kind of predicated on the idea that if you freely publish something others are allowed, and even encouraged, to link to that usefull content. If you have to or want to limit the resources used to publish that content then that is fine, just don't expect me or anyone else who actually understands the net to cry any tears for you when people use the www as it was designed.
One of the cool things about Diablo 2 is how hackable it is. There are some REALLY impressive third party total conversions out there for it. If you want to play D2 single player I would highly recomend looking into them.
Well, Diablo 2 wasn't very challenging in the basic mode. However if you played it in hardcore mode it could get interesting. Once you died, that was it, your character stayed dead. I played that way with a large group of friends for several years, without the challenge of hardcore mode I probably would have played the game for about 6 months. Adding additional artificial challenge can make an even somewhat simple game more fun.
The United Way has some of the lowest overhead costs of any sizeable charity organization. Not sure about the Red Cross, but they seem to be the organization best equipped to handle large scale disasters so they probably have significantly higher administrative costs (command and controll leads to better delivery of resources but costs quite a bit).
Yeah, on Sat when they were predicting a possible direct Category 5 strike directly on New Orleans I would have assumed that the federal government would be mobilizing the troops (literally and figurativly). For instance we sent in ships to act as desalination plants in the wake of the tsunami last winter but it took till 3 days after the hurricane for the aircraft carrier to leave New York. IMHO it should have been stationed at a southern port along the Atlantic ready to raise anchor as soon as the danger had passed. Taking over half the time that it takes for people to die of thirst to even freaking start heading towards them is just assanine! I think the scariest thing about this whole thing is that it shows how absolutly uprepared we are as a nation even after we have plowed billions and billions into disaster preperation under the banner of homeland security. If we can't deal with a natural disaster how can we possibly deal with the worst that a well funded and intelligent group of humans can do?
Actually an OC-4 seems to be a non-standard American term for a SONET ring providing bandwidth between an OC-3 and an OC-12 (~255Mbps according to this site). I found several other similar references through some google searching using terms like SONET and optical carrier, etc.
Uh, that won't work unless you have a key recovery agent in place. Just becoming owner of a file does not undo the encryption, nor does it magically reveal the key of the origional encrypter.
Yes, but actually having water available is a good thing. Phoenix as a large population center is a basically untennable long term solution. There simply isn't enough good old H20 to keep up an even semi-modern lifestyle for a large number of people. Now the great lakes states are more like it for long term viability. Lots of fresh water, lack of major geological or climitalogical disasters (blizzards last at most a couple days and kill a handfull of unprepared people), the only thing we lack is year round perfect weather (and no Phoenix doesn't have that, without A/C I doubt 10% of the population would want to live there). Denver has most of the drawbacks of the great lakes with the additional problem of forest fires.
Hmm, so I can't run it on a server version, or even better an embedded version like say the Windows XP embedded that runs on our thin terminals. That's just silly.
And the Networkin Interface Card card. Oh yes and my personal favorite, every time I boot a 2k server I see built on NT (New Technology) Technology.

Defeating Captcha
·
· Score: 1
That gave me an awsome idea for a new Captcha system, send word pairs as images, then have an array of images where only one redirects to the correct URL when clicked on, the rest go to a dynamically generated failure page. For instance give the words green and ball as the hints and have a car, a green ball, a yellow triangle, etc as the images. This is not something that general machine vision and AI systems will do well at, unlike the somewhat easy fields of image processing and OCR.
The other way is to make sure that the generic IDE drivers are included in at least one hardware profile. There is some detailed information in the Symantec Ghost manuals if you need the info.
Yep, the fact that the 14 Ohio marines that were killed earlier this month were in an Armored Amphibious Vehicle should show you that a Humvee, no matter how uparmored, stands no chance against the bombs being employed.
Man your post reminded me of why I got into Linux. I went to school in Rochester, NY (RIT) and walking the mile or so from the dorms to the CS lab across campus was difficult when there had been a snowstorm with a couple feet dropped in 12 hours (a regular occurance in Rochester) so I got into Linux in order to be able to export an X display back to me in the dorms without spending loads of cash (there were no free Windows X servers in those days AFAIK). There's nothing quite like laziness to motivate learning =)
400 CPU hour problems can fit in to lots of other categories. Weather prediction, where the results have to be out in hours but could easily take in excess of 400 CPU hours are an example. Another good example is chip routing, at a previous job the chip routing could take days or weeks on multi-cpu boxes cost tens of thousands of dollars, the results were valuable, but not mind-bendingly so. Another good example might be special effects for a mid budget film, buying the hardware to get results in a short enough time to get a return on capital would take too much capital to be justified, so you simply lease CPU time and get the movie out in weeks or months instead of years or massivly overbudget.
The XB-70 is a VERY impressive plane, the sheer size of the thing makes it hard to fathom that it is capable of Mach 3, until you walk to the back and see the array of huge engines =) That plane alone is enough reason to go to Wright Patterson IMO.
Ok, I can hardly get stable or fully functional drivers now with none of this crap added on, what's the likelyhood that ATI's (for example) driver department is going to be able to do all this crap correctly and do it so it is cryptographically secure, none.
Why do people still call it Javascript? The correct term for the modern language is ECMAScript, Javascript was the Netscape version built in colaboration with Sun and revised several times over the years. I doubt that much origional Javascript code would work well in modern browsers.

You must be retarded, that's the nano, not the ROKR phone from Motorola which only has enough flash for ~100 songs (128kbit, ~4 minute songs).

Funniest thing I have read in a LONG time. I literally spit popcorn all over my monitor. Kuddos =)
1) It's called right click, you will attack until your target is dead =)
Actually there are guard and stay commands, they just aren't bound by default =)
2) Is Arcanum. I couldn't remember the name off the top of my head but I looked up and the manual is sitting next to the speakers above my monitor =)
