dude, think about it before you post and give darl and chris more ideas... think about it... samba is used all over the place.. on sun systems, aix, hp-ux , you name it... just wait.. SCO is trying to take as much as they can get... or at least they are saying they deserve it;P
The article does NOT mention the age of these airplanes.... which does make a big difference since Boeing and Airbus have started shielding their equipment better in their recent airplanes
based on the same technology?? like these products are?? Here and if so.. what does this mean for the market that is flooded w/ these products... oh wait.. people will still buy them
well if those condo's are all on the same grid you can use powerline technology to connect all of em up to 14mbps... thats all you would need for everyone to share a T1...
Man, I can attest to this... patches... especially ones that screw up systems not only cost time/money/bandwidth but they cost HAIR.. yes thats right... admins lose their hair b/c of the stress this makes them go through.....::looks in the mirror::
arrhhggghh..
Yeah, I've looked through the LFS and BLFS online documentation, and I was curious... are there any directions out there on how to make it a usable/deployable distrobution?? I guess I could use g4u to copy the harddrive image to iso.. but i would rather not.
ok, but most people only split that bandwidth two ways and the fact is that both of those people are usually home at the same time... so what you are getting is that instead of one person using all the available bw at one time you have two people splitting it... i used to work for an ISP and the only time our bandwidth maxed was during peak hours.. 6-9pm... when people are home
the system looked nice... but the institution i work for probably wouldnt use it... they use blackboard. I did however find something similar and opensource...
it was moodle. it works nice and even has some extra cool features
I work in IT at UM, and we have gotten several angry emails from the RIAA about certain students sharing a lot. Of course the university tucks tail and blocks their network access and we have to sit them down in front of a committee and make sure they don't still have copyrighted works still on their machine
We also have to point them to the appropriate use policy... with the one line very far down in it that says "YOU MAY NOT copy, install or use any equipment, service, information, data, image, recording, or other work in violation of applicable copyrights or license agreements."
This is probably what other Universities are doing... setting a general policy to CYA.
UM appropriate use policy
Remember... with some software companies.. you don't even "own" the software.. example in MS's EULA it specifies that the software is non-transferable... just as we saw in the BlueLight buyout... you cant sell your copy of windows or office just like any other asset;)..
heck, if these people are so bound and determined to track down cheaters and keep them out, they just need to have firmer rules on their user account creation... eg. maybe have users sign up with a non-anonymous email account (non-yahoo, hotmail, etc) and have the user respond from their "real" email... its not totally effective, but... most people wouldnt go to the trouble of having more than 3 real email accounts... and that way they can ban users and not mac addys... but in my opinion.. people stay away from cheaters anyway
Well, the other difference is the cost.. the cluster w/ linux on it costs $200k AND ran faster.. if only so slightly
I think the combination of those factors should've been taken into account.. i know i would like to keep 200k if i could;)
I wonder how many times you would have to reboot nodes on a win cluster:P
If you made Halo for computers, no one would by Xbox's, and much fewer people would be buying the game (for the computer). Consoles simply are not computers, and I don't think we should treat them as such. PDA's are much closer to computers then game consoles.
Check out this... Halo is going to be released for PC.. this argument is moot then.
And for the xbox being meant as only a console.. well.. the line has really really blurred since you can check out the very computer-like specifications here... geez
I know most of you guys are thinking that apple's PR machine is just cranking out the crap. Which could possibly be true... but after the post/article about apple maintaining an x86 version of OS X
(http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/31/195208&mode=thread&tid=179)
it makes me wonder why they are only comparing the UI of the two OSes. It's like.. wow.. the windows behave differently... which really doesn't matter to too many people. And their target audience(developers) don't care too much about the minor differences in UI.. just as long as someone pays them to develop applications. What I was surprised about was that Apple's article did not mention supposedly key differences in hardware that made Apple "so much faster"... which has been their key selling point before.
And honestly, I wish OS X would be released for x86 platforms.. i would buy it.

Civ and Civ2... infact... i still play those games
the advance menu and the wonders were cool... also made me look up stuff about them on the net

12000 - 17000 songs they could have downloaded from apple's site ;)

that last line "vowed appeal" mustve gotten someone mad enough to hack their website but wait... i think this has been happening already
true.. i probably should learn more about game dev before i make such a comment ;)
ACK! There is even a plugin for VB.net in OpenGL oh cruel world
and use OpenGL

The bbspot released an article about Microsoft's CDS initiative (cant do sh*t)... which i thought was pretty funny.. but seems to be coming true ;)
MS CDS initiative from BBspot
yup... i cant see that happening... this is more likely from MS CDS Link ;)
