I think it may be related with a geomagnetic storming from a sun.
read more in news: The large and dynamic active sunspot region, numbered by NOAA as Region 720, has produced several strong solar events. Five large solar flares produced moderate (R2) to strong (R3) radio blackouts since 15 January. The largest of these solar eruptions, an X3.8 on the GOES-12 x-ray sensor, occurred today at 17/0659 UTC (near local midnight MST). Short-wave radio communications through the sunlit hemisphere of Earth experienced significant signal degradation during these solar flares.
Associated strong geomagnetic and radiation storms are underway. The radiation storm began on 16/0210 UTC (15 January, 7:10 P.M. MST) and is currently at the S3 (strong level). A G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm began early on the 17th (UTC) and remains in progress. The geomagnetic storm is associated with two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed on SOHO/LASCO imagery on 15 January.
How long do you think the RIAA will allow the existence of a portable music player with wireless p2p functionality that has NO OTHER PURPOSE but to allow people to "steal" music? The ink won't be dry on the press release announcing such a device before the RIAA sues them.
Know what? We don't give a shit about RIAA! Why the hell this assholes still trying to stop the progress?!
You can rip the CD and copy it to different players, but NO, YOU CAN copy music from open player to another just because some fucker decided so?! Holy shit! Give me at least one reason WHY hardware vendor should blindly obey to this *commercial association* (not goverment!). Is there any LAW which prohibits it?!
Why i can buy cassete recorder and copy tapes, but i can't do it with mp3?!
2020 forecast and still no single word about *flying cars*?!
Change that fu$@#@g forecast now before it is too late! I DEMAND MY FLYING CAR BEFORE 2020!!!
That guy is not right!!
All you need to keep Linux computer secure:
1) enable *by default* build-in kernel firewall to reject all incoming connections
2) keep your kernel up to date, by autodownloading & installing patches from kernelupdates.linux.org
3) build antivirus *inside* linux kernel and insure that you have latest antivirus and exploits definifins.
I don't understand why are you, linux users, don't come with that simple idea long time ago! If every linux users will follow this three simple steps then no one from internet will be able to hack or exploit your computer.
from zdnet: New is a 64-bit system, which does not mean an across-the-board speed boost, but memory-hungry applications such as large databases will probably benefit.
I thought that previous versions of Mac OS X running on G5 were also 64-bit?! How do they run 32-bit OS on a 64-bit G5 processor?!
Because Lotus Notes client is dead now.
Next generation of Lotus Domino/Notes will be running on websphere (J2EE application server) and intergrated with all different software from IBM. IBM moving all client software to java right now.
It will be pure Java application, IBM don't trust windows anymore.
How do you share installers when one distribution installs binaries and the other compiles everything from scratch?
Dear Anonymous Coward!
You should learn more about redhat and gentoo. Redhat's RRM *can* install from sources: rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm
Actually you can rebuld entire redhat distro with rpmbuild --rebuild and source rpm-s, just like gentoo, look at whitehat linux for example.
And gentoo's emerge CAN install binary packages too, read man pages. You can also install gentoo with pre-build binaries without compiling it on your box - just like redhat!
I think you should not be so pessimistic.
Fedore and Gento actually *could* benefit from strong sides of each other without ruining distro.
I'm not saying that they should be one distro, but they could share a single codebase, ports, installers and so on.
I think RedHat should somehow also support gentoo - it is very popular distro now and everyone will benefit if such a huge linux brand as redhat whould help it.
They can merge Fedora and Gentoo, or just dedicate developers to some key gentoo projects.
I don't think that a million of a slightly different linux distribution is a good thing - we *must* unite if we want to get more market share.
It is *stupid* to compare SMALL FORM FACTOR MAC with OSX & software with a HUGE, FUCKING NOISY AND POWER-BILLS-EATING Dell PC!!!
Just try to build somewhere close to Mac Mini specs (size, weight, hardware, software) with a PC equivalents! Similar SFF PC will cost you *TWICE* more.
The answer is simple: Use VMWARE GSX/ESX Server with virtual servers inside.
You can attach to a vmware console over TCP/IP via their client and get full control over virtual server, reboot, enter BIOS, mount BOOT CD ISO for rescue and so on.
It saved me a lot of time.
makes it wrongful to acquire or publish without authorization information you know or have a reasonable basis to know is a trade secret of another
So he is surely guilty for publishing information known to be under NDA. What is next? Sue poor guy or just frighten him?
I think Apple wants to show everyone the clear and plain sign: respect NDA - it is not a game, but a business with a serious money involved. Obey the law or face consequences.
I think it is fair.
The Windows Server 2003-based Macworld Expo site folded under all those hits, while Apple's sites, running Mac OS X, were only knocked into sluggishness.
Yea, and i'm sure the fact that author linked Macworld Expo site from a slashdot article just a *pure coincidence*:)
Dude, what are you talking about?!
Are you trying to compare apples to oranges: huge, ugly, loud & power-hungry PC box with a SFF Mac?!
Lets be honest and compare Man Mini to SFF PC.
The *closest* possible SFF PC configuration to compare Mac Mini is:
Hoojum Cubit 3 Case: $214.20
14.7cm(H) x 21.0cm(W) x 21.0cm(D)
(Mac smaller: 5.08 x 16.51 x 16.51)
Panasonic Slotload 24x CDRW/DVD Drive $124.20
EPIA MII 12000 LVDS 1.2Ghz Motherboard $232.20
PentiumM with ITX motherboard will cost much more, Pentium IV/Celeron is not good for SFF PC - too much noise from cooling system and power demanding
Seagate Momentus 40GB 5400RPM 2.5in HDD $135.00
256MB DDR PC2100 DIMM - EPIA M Compatible $66.60
Lex 60W Silent PSU Kit $63.00
Windows XP Home OEM $124.20
-----
TOTAL: $959.40
(All prices are from www.mini-itx.com, i'm sure that you can find some parts cheaper, but not too much)
Mac Mini: $499
And even without looking at a price Apple still wins due bundled software and box dimensions.
Actually that supposed to be a joke:)
Intel doesn't suck, but they made so many bad and stupid marketing decisions recently that slashdot's community doesn't like Intel too much.
Do you remember "PentiumIV will make Internet faster" marketing campaign? Or soap gigahertz war? CPU ratio lock? And so on.
Amazing guys at Intel can do amazing things but bad marking can easily kill it.

HDMI enforces that only trusted (by RIAA) devices allowed to communicate - so no way perfect digital copies.

Yea, but what is good in reinventing wheel every time a new distro started?
apt-get vs rpm vs emerge vs others, different installers and so on.
Why spread so many developer resources for similar projects?! Do we really need twenty different IRC clients or ICQ clones?!
I think RedHat should somehow also support gentoo - it is very popular distro now and everyone will benefit if such a huge linux brand as redhat whould help it.

The guy knew that he is publishing information under NDA on a public site and he did not obey cease letters from Apple for many times.
Trying to fool the judge by "oops, i didn't know it is secret thing" or "i've got this information from heavens voices" is very stupid.
* Judges are not fools * (generally)

Will Smith (after destoying rebel NS-5 robot):
- Somehow "I told you so" just doesn't quite say it.
The space savings in the clockless CPUs is worth it, plus you don't have to keep winding them up all the time.
But HOW i supposed to check a time with the clockless CPU?!
They must first create some kind of clock-coprocessor before releasing clockless CPU to market!
Actually that supposed to be a joke :)
