"a condition that makes it hard for cuts to heal fast enough to stop high blood loss" == haemophilia
Well, for the most part. Anti-clotting medication can induce a similar condition...but it might save you time to use the actual names of medical conditions (and save me time as well!).
I threw an Athlon 64 3400+ onto a PC that had a previous installation of Windows 2000 SP4. I encountered no problems whatsoever, and I'm afraid I can offer no insight into your apparent situation.
Unfortunately, several months later, when I installed 64-bit Windows (2003 standard) on a secondary hard disk drive, I managed to lose my entire Windows 2000 registry (on the primary drive) due to a rather nasty interaction between my crappy new VIA southbridge and the Windows 64-bit drivers. It eventually scrambled the entire MFT on that drive before I realised that it was the motherboard's fault. I was able to recover the data on my other PC, since the drive was not damaged in any way, while I shopped for a new motherboard - no problems since.
The first two times I clicked on the Read More... link, I got the ol' 404 "Nothing to see here, move along" message.
I think my tinfoil hat is on a bit too tight.
Regarding the article links, especially the second link, hopefully the FBI can show the other departments a thing or two about computer security.
At the recycling company I work at, we get dozens of hard drives full of data every day. An unscrupulous person could make a great deal of money off of just thrift store-level personal data, but you rarely see that kind of thing getting done. The typical thief is uneducated, particularly about the mystical inner workings of a computer, but I suspect that is about to change in the New Era of identity theft. I have almost no doubt that a typical thief jacked that laptop to look at MySpace in the park or some other ridiculously pedestrian abuse of hardware...
This link points to a CNN story about a forger who donated much of the money from an investment scam to his college, NYU.
Of course, that was just a front for another stereotypical spending spree: a Porsche and a Tiffany diamond, among other things.
Heck, I ended up with an old server for a very fancy hotel chain, still had the account records and the database, passwords in batch files, all unencrypted, kind of sad...the only reason it's not in the news is that I have too many scruples.
It boils down to corporate negligence, of course. The VA has always been probably the least-trustworthy branch of the Armed Forces. At least, that's how I felt long before this news broke.
According to this PDF document, they're running the Narus software on a Sun Fire V880 server.
Some fancy toys, but not as ridiculously awesome as I'd expected.
Think about how Warhammer fans are feeling this year: Games Workshop is going to E3 with *three* Warhammer titles by three different publishers: a Warhammer RTS from Namco, a Warhammer MMORPG from Mythic, and a HUGE 2-race expansion pack with renovated single-player for Dawn of War.
I'm personally not too excited about the new Nintendo system, but it is a relief at least to see that the "Wii-mote" won't be a requirement for most games.

It's all over now but the crying, Mother Nature.

I think Cisco just bent Foundry networks over its knee and spanked it good:

I'm not sure how much aggregate bandwidth the entire United States of America uses up, but it shouldn't take more than a few of these to satisfy it!

Drop the cash on an eight-core Sun T2000 server, get eight four-thread cores in one chip and go to town.
I've always considered multithreading the way to go - never ran a server that didn't have multiple processors or cores.
ZFS is probably a step ahead of most hardware RAID solutions. I believe Ratboy666 wrote an excellent post above that details Sun's likely reasoning.
I suspect that the X4500 is just a vehicle for Sun's much-vaunted ZFS filesystem (hence RAID-Z in the specs).
And how much more quickly would 10,000RPM drives skeletonise a cow, anyways?
Your name is strikingly apropos to the subject, my friend.
Just wait until they start feeding these guys beans beforehand!

That's the sad part - it's not intended to be a joke. Just being honest.
Who else read the summary as "Pornographic Industry" rather than Phonographic?
I think I've been on the Internet for far too long...
NYU received over $1.2 million from forger-boy but will be refunding every bit of it once they track down the investors.

Why does beer make this ho-hum article slashdot-worthy?
The robot could just as easily be pouring milk or Dextron ATF...
Back in college there was this really TALL and FAT guy, I mean he was BIG!
He's actually the biggest game dev I know, but nobody's heard of him...

Well, having read the article, this Mark Klein guy is probably telling the truth, as far as he knows. He editorialises in a rather overtly conspiratorial tone, but from his description of the
I'm sure that if they have a few of those $100k routers in that mystery room they can wrangle more than enough data for the government's needs.
I happen to prefer enthalpy myself. What are your sources, in any case?

It's a heuristic /. post generator! Nearly fooled me, too. It could pass the Turing Test for unprecedented realism in slashdotter emulation.
