I'm wondering which would be faster at Linux uses - the Tyan Thunder K7 listed with 2 Athlon 1200s, or a Tyan Thunder HLse-t S2688 with 2 Tulatin PentiumIII/1.26Ghz (512K cache)?
The double-banked SDRAM has a lower latency and otherwise the same speed as DDR. Plus, the S2688 would take twice as much RAM - 6GB instead of 3GB.
Well, at $99/month they can probably just about manage to make money doing it. Especially if they're sharing the infrastructure (one connection? you don't say). The providers that are dying are the ones that discounted themselves to death.
No. They won't stop hating us just because we try to be reasonable.
You don't see Bin Laden saying "Supporting Israel would be okay with me if they just withdrew to their pre-1967 borders" or "I have no problem with the United States as long as it wouldn't have such a high profile politically and culturally in Arab countries". It's not like we have any choice in the matter, short of making islamic law mandatory in our own country and impoverishing ourselves to their level - if even that - nothing would satisfy the terrorists.
We don't particularly care if they call us a "Great Satan" (which is probably part of what they hate about us). They could call us syphiletic rodents and we wouldn't really give a damn.
Since the only option they leave us is to kill those who would kill us, we have to take that option. Not to do so, or to oppose doing so, isn't being neutral. In the circumstances, it is actually supporting the terrorists and their goals.
Taliban: We have Bin Laden under such tight control since before the WTC attack that he couldn't use a cellphone, and he doesn't have the resources to have possibly mounted such an attack!
US: Bullshit. We've monitored his communications, and he has a quarter-billion dollar personal fortune and contributions from supporters throughout the arab world. We see his training camps on satellite.
Taliban: Uhh... Oops! We lost him! We have no idea where he is!
US: Bullshit.
Taliban: Gosh, we suddenly have him under our complete control again... uh, no, we won't turn him over to you for killing thousands of your citizens... We'll... uh... We'll try him in an Islamic court if you'll just reveal everything about how you're gathering your intelligence against him - that is, an Islamic court as the Taliban defines Islam, of course, and agree to recognize us as the legit givernment of Afghanistan, which we stole fair and square, yeah, that's the ticket....
Actually, that was a case of "A man in Texas shoots dead a drunken thug of a tourist who tried to kick down the door of the man who tried to take refuge in his house when accosted late at night". Said man defending his family also in the house, in a neighborhood where a style of robbery involving kicking down a family's door and beating the occupants into submission was all too common.
Perhaps in the United Kingdom the man indeed would have been imprisoned for 10-15 years for that. Like you said, people are different; most places in the US you are allowed to defend your family using deadly force, once having retreated to what refuge is available.
Nah, go down a few feet you hit rock, most places. I'm sure there's a played-out iron mine or three you could get there though.
Down in lower Michigan though, there are the old Minuteman silos at the Grosse Ile airport, but I think those are all sealed up. And probably full of water seeped in from Lake Erie/Detroit River.
That sort of means they make money off every transaction, doesn't it?
Obviously double-dipping would make them more per transaction. but people wouldn't want to use them to pay quite as much, and usually the person buying gets to choose the method of payment.
Besides as of right now there has been any major patches for about a month and you just need to do Win2k SP2 plus the August hotfix rollup.
Tried that.
Nimda ate the server two weeks later.
Evidently someone had installed a new Microsoft software component and not run through the reinstall SP2+August Hotfix cycle again afterwards. They didn't have an extra hour or so to do it and couldn't get permission to take the site down that often when the site was being changed; a demo was scheduled! Oops! Better not let anyone but the Security Administrator install anything!
Installing the preliminary version of any of the following Windows 2000 hotfixes on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) causes the loss of some of the fixes that are included in SP2. This occurs regardless of the order of installation.
Following this is a list of 91 hotfixes you had better not mix up with the "final" SP2 version of.
What more is there to say about a U.S. Attorney General who is more concerned about web pages being defaced than people being blown away by firearms, in the hands of convicted criminals and others who've been judged a danger by the courts?
He's conflating vandalism ("willful or malicious destruction or defacement of public or private property") with major violent crime by using the term "assault" in other than its normal legal sense - a threat or attempt to inflict offensive physical contact or bodily harm on a person (as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner) that puts the person in immediate danger of or in apprehension of such harm or contact.
In effect he's raising the status of a collection of hardware and software to the legal status of a person, if not trying to imbue it with human emotions.
In other words, he's making a total ass of himself. Let us strive to prevent him from doing the same to the legal code, shall we?
"I don't believe that our definition of terrorism is so broad," said Ashcroft. "It is broad enough to include things like assaults on computers, and assaults designed to change the purpose of government."
My brain is an organic computer.
Where do I file charges against John Ashcroft for assaulting my intelligence?
Umm. Nah. I have no idea if he owns a MIG-29 or not (and it'd probably improve my opinion of him if I knew he did), but the all the local legal shenanigans were over his business jet IIRC. Sorry, but I live in the SJC airport flight path, and I don't recall a MIG buzzing around...
San Jose International Airport, actually, the hours having to do with noise ordinances. Last i heard, his lawyers had managed to use the courts to carve out an exception for his royal self.
Actually, I suspect that's what ticked him off. If everyone in the United States has to carry an ID card to prevent Larry's precious jet from being grounded again, I'm sure he sees that as a small price for us to pay.
having had to wade through 100+ web pages to examine the effects and side-effects and warnings and caveats associated with Microsoft's post-service-pack 2 patches while collecting them to install a "up-to-date" MS Win2000/IIS system, I can only assume this is a troll. Sendmail releases a new version that can be installed, not a three-year-old version you have to patch the bejeezus out of.
- MS confuses things by issuing multiple "service packs" with identical numbers, requiring measurement of actual file creation dates and sizes to establish if you've really installed;
- MS's malfunctions force you to reload components that then require you to reload the patches;
- MS makes you wade through about 4 pages to actually find and get to each of dozens of post-service-pack hotfixes (for Win2000 SP2 at least);
- Multiple hotfixes try to make you reboot the box after they are applied, making the process long and tedious;
- Most of the hotfixes force you to analyze if you really need them because of the components that are affected, and warn not to install them if they aren't "really necessary".
The replacement policy does seem to obtain, though. They seemed eager to send out a pre-replacement for an Atlas 73G drive that died (Quantum, who they acquired). It's taking a few days to ship, but that's understandable given the airlines have been grounded after the WTC atrocity-thing.
But what happens when an adult wants to research extremist hate sites (or something else nonpornographic that isn't covered by the agreement) and someone complains about the local church minister's viewing of ihatefags.com (easily viewable by anyone else in the library, thanks to your publically positioning the monitors)? Wouldn't you start getting into first amendment controversies there?
I can also imagine a comical situation as someone tries to block from the rest of the library's censorous view the sea of you-can't-close-them pornographic popups resulting from clicking on an apparently innocious link, say from a search engine. "No! Don't look! I'm not reading those! Nobody look!"
No... but in not too long, you'll submit a response to Slashdot, and when you reload the article you'll find out it has been replaced by someone's ad generated by a program installed without your knowledge, and very similar to Gator...
Of the Volvo (or was it a Saab)? car with such low exhaust emissions that the car would effectively clean the air on the average big-city highway? They demoed it by hooking the exhaust of a badly smoky, elderly vehicle and showed that the steadily running new car's measured emissions barely budged.
Of course, back in the 1960's Al Capp's Lil' Abner comic introduced the concept originally.

Wonder what the fourth test will show?
The double-banked SDRAM has a lower latency and otherwise the same speed as DDR. Plus, the S2688 would take twice as much RAM - 6GB instead of 3GB.
Plus, the SDRAM is a lot cheaper...
I'd rather build a nice, fast 3Ware Escalade RAID array with 4 or so fast, big, and cheap IDE drives... and still save the CPU cycles.
Well, at $99/month they can probably just about manage to make money doing it. Especially if they're sharing the infrastructure (one connection? you don't say). The providers that are dying are the ones that discounted themselves to death.
this proterrorist horseshit, that is[re evidence Bin Laden might have been involved]:
Thought mine was a pretty fair paraphrase of the Taliban's arguments by comparison..
You don't see Bin Laden saying "Supporting Israel would be okay with me if they just withdrew to their pre-1967 borders" or "I have no problem with the United States as long as it wouldn't have such a high profile politically and culturally in Arab countries". It's not like we have any choice in the matter, short of making islamic law mandatory in our own country and impoverishing ourselves to their level - if even that - nothing would satisfy the terrorists.

Since the only option they leave us is to kill those who would kill us, we have to take that option. Not to do so, or to oppose doing so, isn't being neutral. In the circumstances, it is actually supporting the terrorists and their goals.
Um, last I checked, the US did that too.
Not for shaving, we don't.
As I remember it:
Taliban: We have Bin Laden under such tight control since before the WTC attack that he couldn't use a cellphone, and he doesn't have the resources to have possibly mounted such an attack!
US: Bullshit. We've monitored his communications, and he has a quarter-billion dollar personal fortune and contributions from supporters throughout the arab world. We see his training camps on satellite.

US: Bullshit. Sorry, you had your chance...

Seriously, "assault" is an absurd concept to apply to a machine. Vandalism, certainly.
Tried that.

Largely Microsoft's fault that they don't:
- MS's service packs undo previous fixes;
- MS confuses things by issuing multiple "service packs" with identical numbers, requiring measurement of actual file creation dates and sizes to establish if you've really installed;
- MS's malfunctions force you to reload components that then require you to reload the patches;
- MS makes you wade through about 4 pages to actually find and get to each of dozens of post-service-pack hotfixes (for Win2000 SP2 at least);

So? It doesn't have anything to do with wire fraud either, and the prosecutor is grasping at that straw as an excuse too.
