Not to mention the skin effect
Skin effect for dummies It would seem that what works for one electromagnetic phenomenon should have analogs in other similar situations.
Since 1991 they have been trying to dupe gulliable manager into moving UNIX shops into targets for IE bugs and snooping. Their most recent overt attempt has been a browser product which they call IE for UNIX
I interviewed at Sun in '98 these where everywhere
This is neither new nor interesting from a UNIX user's perspective. Only in the Windows world do you really really need a workstation of your own. The model they where using then was the JavaStaion these have been around since 1996 http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/9611/sunflas h.961114.html
A thin client (Oracle/Larry Ellison propaganda aside)
is a jumped up X-Term with a disk drive and maybe a local hard drive or large removable media. If you have a really skilled SysAdmin staff (I imagine Sun does) you can run all your regular UNIX customization & Window Makers on this, Gnome, Enlightenment, and even play Quake where ever your at in the whole world. Your not tied to hardware with can be stolen or virus'd
So the workstation is $500 a pop, the CPU isn't just a local P-4 or something it's the front end for some big set of Mid-range or higher box like a Sunfire or SunCat or some other UNIX or even Microsoftie server.
when somebody tells me about how cool their new Dell is and how well it can crunch that Excel, I just smile, I can have screensavers that are actual Fractals in real time. Wine sessions that out run the latest P4
Ok, so the one you saw has got a little Grey Flannel Suit look to it, but you have to remember it's a company system. Sorry to be L33tist but if the bulk of your contact with a computer is 9-5 your going to have fish as your screensaver and a picture of your kids as your background.
As we progress with the routine technical advancement your going to see a things like SUN 450 Enterprise w/Quad 480Mhz processors showing up on Ebay for $500, Likely in about 18 months
Schools and small businesses are going to start wondering why they are being nibbled to death by Microsoft and Apple and the various shadowy and dodgy hardware vendors (Compaq, Dell, Packard Bell) and switch into where this setup is more common it will look more like the NAVI from Lain
Well maybe you can interfer with Gasoline's burn rate, This would have engines that clogged up quickly. That would be a mess to deal with in an battlefield. Screwing with the oil would require a bacteria that could withstand high tempatures. But run the engine once and it's semi disenfected.
As far as ammo is concerned, only a fool would imagine that a microbe could get into the shell casings. The same methods that keep the powder dry will prevent this, besides you would still need water to grow the microbes. This might work if your dealing with Muskets.
Indeed, I am stroking it hard when I say five years but then I know something you may not. Still, you need to dream it first. There really is a hell of a lot of Dark Fiber.
I wonder if Sen. Hollings will have a heart attack when he hears about this? Likely not, his bosses at Disney will, but he can be assured of funding from the media industry in it's useless fight against progress.
Since the state bought them, they are theirs. I wonder if Oracles EULA would permit resale of the excess. I would be willing to pay Cali 10 cents on the dollar or less for a Oracle license. They could put them up on Ebay....
Imagine, how instead of just flaming AOLers for stupidity we can just reprogram all their Buffy and Angel schedules with the Discovery Channel or CSPAN. Come back from a week on vacation and you got a full disk of ranting from Sen Hollings, or endless house debates over that House Bill 602P (internet email taxes).
I was wondering if they would be willing to pay a fee for used/uninteresting CDs like they do with pop cans.
I would require that the maker pay the refund fees.
We could do Data mining with a shovel and dig up the landfills. Just think we could at last bring down AOL by a forced return of all those CDs they send out.

Ah, stupid tricks with Google. BTW, CNN doesn't have anything on it so it's just a troll.
And yes quatloos is how you spell it in The Gamesters of Triskelion

I can do that on my P3-600. What's your point? "Fractals" is such a broad category, it doesn't make a good benchmark.
Yes of course, but that was a embedded troll (trademark pending), and it was noted as a troll, unless they caught the Packard Bell Referance.

If we would use them as Nails? Nine Inch Nails are very popular.
Beyond that there isn't much of a case to be made.

[This isn't a fantasy the dark fiber capacity is presently enough to do this it's just the last mile issues that are preventing it.]

Thanks in advance.
This stifles competition from other OEM shells when Bourne is the root shell.
Also Sun Micro is practically notifying Crackers and Cyber criminals about security issues in bug notices and regular updates.
Security bugs should be kept private until the Company deems it necessary to take action.
Thankfully the current political administration is sufficiently Luddite and will step in a correct these inequities.
Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? I seriously don't know who I would root for.

If this isn't a case for Prior Art I don't know what is.

Once more my friends at /. have brought me to another fine visual place I need never have gone. They have brought new meaning to the word Muck....
Now Mommy can retire. I don't need her to tie my shoes. I am wondering if they will make them in Plaid....
Truly this is a troll.
and has to the three shells any good UNIX hacker will tell you it's not seashells it's C, Korn and Bash.
