So maybe I misunderstood the OP about RJ45/IP, maybe I didn't. Regardless, we're not talking about a server on a card here. This is a fast network card that handles part of the networking stack onboard rather than having the CPU deal with everything. Cool? yes, but not a new concept. Worth $500 to someone for a home router? No way, you can do the same thing the OP was describing (fancy home router/firewall) for a LOT less money with junk bin components.
I was under the impression that the cards actually ran Linux...
I'm not under that impression.
Now, give me a PCI or PCI-X card that has three IP's. One to connect to from the localhost, two going out to other machines/routers/switches. Make that card a system on a chip that boot with power taken from the mainboard...
I think you're confusing IPs (no apostrophe) with RJ45 jacks.
Let me login to that card and use the command line, SSH, whatever... now we are talking a $500 card. Linux on the card with the right packages installed will let me basically put a Cisco router in my machine...
These cards are serious overkill for average home use, they're made to move insane amounts of data around without needlessly troubling the CPU with networking details. Everything you're looking to do can be accomplished by having a pair (or more) of regular old NICs in any old computer and setting up the OS accordingly. People do it all the time, you can easily put together the entire system for well under $500 and have features well beyond what you've listed (toss in server type stuff, home automation, whatever.) Want an even cheaper solution? Grab a Linksys WRT54G(s) and put whatever software you want on it- that's what I did and it works beautifully!
You can do the same thing with a pair of regular NICs for a lot less money. A quick google turned up this HOWTO on the subject, I'm sure you can find plenty similar docs out there or just read man pages for the relevant packages. Have fun!
Automagically order tabs such that new tabs open near to related tabs (as an option, of course.)
Determine the home page based on recent browsing habits rather than a static URL.
Not machine learning related, but it would be cool if there were an option to open a new tab instead of a new window. Manual tab re-arrangement would be nice as well.
Like I said, it's definitely not for everyone (which includes lazy/incompetent/overworked admins.) It's really not that hard to think of a situation where (semi)automatic update systems aren't the best idea.
Not exactly. The lack of a tightly integrated update tool is a big part of what makes slackware so nice IMHO. Installing stuff 'by hand' gives a bit more control of what's going on, but it's definitely not for everyone.
You're right about the relative postion of stars (or dots or whatever.) One pattern is called the EURion (Euro - Orion I think.) Here's a PDF: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/eurion.pdf
Another Spanish nuance (is that the right word?;) that a lot of/.ers might like is libre vs gratis. Sure beats writing all this stuff about free speech, beer, code, lunch, etc.

Heck, it's probably not a good idea to draw attention to your ignorance on slashdot :)

A server room? here
Well, here you go then! (that's Netscape 7.1 X11 in case you're curious.)

Yeah, I completely misspoke there. Got the 9 release confused with 9.1... Oh well.
Don't worry. With Slackware you can only run into that issue every year or more.
No. If it did, it wouldn't rock. Simple as that.
Reminds me more of a disco ball actually.
You use Isochron Dating, which is generally a better way to date rocks anyhow as it measures the decay of multiple isotopes rather than just one.
Actually, oldsocks.com already exsists, and has a sort of underware bartering system in place...
Well, I guess I'm just going to keep my current camera then...
Without RTFA, I'll bet these bullets cost exactly $5,000.... Just like Chris Rock said they would.
Why convert to digital when you could just use the mic/line in? The adaptive clock stuff is fairly trivial to do in software.
Well, they are theives you know...
I think the parent post was refering to the devices that get attached to an ATM machine, not the card.
The real question is could a beowulf cluster of them carry me?
hmmm, maybe to run all the interpreted languages?
