One thing about all the compact flash stuff. Typical flashable memory can only be "erased" on the order of 100,000 times. Now, many of you are saying "sure, this isn't a problem" -- but i dont think most/.'ers realize how many temp files Linux (and Operating Systems in general) create. Unfortunately, using Fat32 or NTFS(if you were "Gasp" running nt/2k), you would be repeatledy using the same flash sectors, quickly burning them out.
This means the only really useful filesystem is LFS (see the SPRITE project -- http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/projects/sprite/sprite. html ) and even at that, you need to be able to have some mechanism to rotate your two checkpoints or else THEY get burnt out.
So no, you can't have a box that has no hard drive, as of yet, unless you have very specialized uses for which lfs work well. (sequential writes/reads, etc)
Wee! Final exam questions with applications in the real world!
Ah, the sweet smell of envy...
It's not our fault that you only have money to study at a state university with all the other slugheads who're only a one step up from the white trailerpark trash.
Shut up, you loser.
Yale does NOT have grade inflation (you're thinking of Harvard's president summer's concern about it, where it doesnt really exist. You take a school full of overachievers and sometimes you just have to give them A's).
Furthermore, no actual ivy league student would be this fucking classless.
As someone who has moz/opera/ie/netscape4 (ugh hate admitting that) on the same box, opera DOES load the fastest.....in terms of from when i double click it to when i can open a page.
followed by ie, followed by ns, followed (in a year) by moz.
i prefer browsing with moz, but the mouse gestures are far too kludgy. (sorry optimoz, you dont cut it)
so i use opera for the most part...and IE when i must. (and sometimes...even with moz...i must...damn frontpage)
The basis for all of Athlon's "better than intel" claims.
Nine-issue, superscalar, fully pipelined microarchitecture: Provides more pathways to feed application instructions into the execution engines of the core, allowing the processor to complete more work in a given clock cycle (high IPC). The delicate balance between the depth of the pathways and clock speed of the processor produces high levels of performance.
Superscalar, fully pipelined Floating Point Unit (FPU): Completes more floating point operations per clock cycle than competitive x86 processors and permits high operating frequencies. The end result is a processor with the computing power to tackle the most computation-intensive software applications.
Hardware data prefetch: Prefetches data from system memory to the processor's Level 1 cache, which reduces the time it takes to feed the processor critical data, increasing work throughput and therefore overall performance.
Exclusive and speculative Translation Look-aside Buffers (TLBs): Keep the maps to critical data close to the processor, which helps prevent the processor from stalling or waiting when future data is requested. These TLB structures are now larger, exclusive between caches, and speculative. Larger TLB's give the AMD Athlon XP processor access to additional data maps. Exclusivity removes the duplication of information, freeing up more space in the Level 2 cache for other useful data to be used by the processor. And the speculative nature of these structures allows the processor to generate future maps of critical data quickly.
Anyone who has taken an OS course (ugh, NachOS) knows the pains of TLB management -- I really would like to see the 'voodoo constants' they used. (Background: the clock-hand approximation of LRU is one of those "voodoo constants" -- most of physics is filled with "voodoo constants" -- likewise...programming an OS is filled with them. If you've ever looked at SPRITE and LFS, the i/o data burst rate suggests that the time-slice should be ~8 seconds -- etc etc. I'd _really_ like to know AMD's voodoo constants.) =)
I [yahoo.com] really [altavista.com] wish [google.com] that [trillian.cc] article [yahoo.com] submitters [yahoo.com] would [fark.com] not [slashdot.org] put [yahoo.com] ambiguous [zdnet.com] links [craigslist.org] in [yahoo.com] the [openprojects.net]
article. [sourceforge.net]
Your post looks like that to me.
Shame we dont have a similar option for freaking editors!
Please please please let this work!?
Finally...we have support for "downloadable" big titles....and hopefully the incidence of "warez" (re: all the posts that have probably already been modded offtopic/flamebait above this post) will be low. I hope people realize how important it is to buy this stuff...
Since you pay directly for your traffic, and you've said that you pay from 75-450$ per month (quite a stretch!) have you considered local caching of sites like yahoo, slashdot, etc to save on bandwidth? Also, since you do monitor your network, have you been in a situation where you've had to ask a subscriber to "please use less bandwidth." If not -- if you came to a point where a single household was putting undue strain on the network -- what would the Co-op do?
Read the paper dearie....specifically....

it requests a SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS website -- the data comes in via modulation in the http stream.....they only get ~1kb per http request.
(from the article).
its highly inefficient -- but it works.
Hi, i'm sorry, has your head fallen off today? The issues at hand are safety, privacy, and censorship. The RIAA is suing our common carriers to CENSOR listen4ever.com. The RIAA and MPAA have made public their decisions to ATTACK YOUR COMPUTER if they _SUSPECT_ you of having "illegal" media. Here, we are discussing methods for getting around certain filters. RTFA -- and then move to china and see how you feel. This is about getting information _you_ want. The RIAA deal isn't about censorship -- the article YOU quoted is an ISP protecting its subscribers from the RIAA's previously declared attacks.

That takes guts. They are going to actively search&seek out the RIAA drones! Unfortunately, they will be placing "fake" files on gnutella....the question being, are those fake files worth the gain of having a major isp on "our" side?

RTFA -- they have 12 (perhaps more now?) subscribers. _one_ warez kiddie makes a big deal.
