I busted out my laptop and sat down and started port-scanning some friendly IPs in front of the screen, only to be disappointed that I'd have to wait something like 10 minutes to see my spray coming out.
It was still pretty cool, and I'm sure half of the traffic on it was people like who kicked off port scans just to see themselves on the screen;p

Best bang for (euro)buck? For 10K you can probably build a 4 way Opteron system w/ 8 GB of RAM, especially if you are getting any kind of educational discount. I would definitely suggest Opteron, as from experience w/ vendors, they seem to be priced about the same as Xeons ( which are the current cheapest ), and do 64 bit and are also a bit faster for some apps. I would probably look at a 2-way Opteron system w/ 8GB of main memory, and then after that begin looking at either a 2nd workstation/server, or 4-way, if you have any money left.
the difference is, matches burn hotter than tobacco. They have chemicals ( can't remember what off the top of my head, I think sulfur and some other stuff ) on their heads, which means they burn really hot at first, and then sustain a flame due to the fact that cardboard burns when hot.
Do you pay attention to all those signs at the gas pump
shit, I still smoke at the gas pump.
It's pretty funny to watch the yuppies hopping around. They want to say something, desperately, but there I am, covered in tattoos, shaved head, knives, and pumping gas into a truck that has more dents that Tyson's face. They get this look on their faces, like a man w/ chronic diaraghea (sp?) waiting in line for the bathroom, then get the hell out of there.
and, before some smartass starts telling me the facts about gas vapors and hot coals - let me tell you this : Hollywood aside, you can't light gasoline w/ a cigarette, nor have I ever run across a case where you could light vapors w/ them either. Tobacco just doesn't burn hot enough.
Of course people care about price-performance. But there are a good deal of problems that cheaper architectures can't solve. Opteron has changed that a good deal, but nonetheless, until Cray comes out w/ Red Storm or whatever they are calling it, there's noone selling > 8-way Opteron machines, and IIRC none of those have > 16 GB of main memory.
Bear in mind that some problems scale well on a cluster. Some sorts of signal processing ( such as the kind done in seismic processing ) are embarassingly parallel, as the saying goes. Other things, like crash simulations, whether simulations, etc., require either a very expensive interconnect ( what, you think Quadrics, Infiniband, Myrinet, SCI, all of those are cheap? ) w/ shared memory, or a large SMP machine. Those are the architectures that Itanium is aimed at. They weren't aimed at competing w/ Xeon, Athlon, Opteron clusters. They were aimed at competing w/ the POWER architecture, SGI, PA-RISC, Alphaservers, large Sparc machines, etc. Monsters that have 64-512 GB of main memory, 64 CPUs, etc.
So, if given the choice between a 5 million USD machine that can't solve the problem as quickly as it needs to be done, and a 15 million USD machine that can, which do you think a lot of people will pick? Not that this deployment is one of those situations ( it's a 4-way cluster environment ), but you can also bet your ass that Intel gave them one sweet deal.
And for the person that commented about not hand-tuning applications, bite me. Find out where your app spends most of it's time, which will generally be a loop somewhere, compile down to assembler, look at the code, and figure out how to optimize it. More likely than not, you can optimize it w/ 50 lines of assembler, if even that much.
yes, they're hot as hell and eat power the way oprah eats twinkies, and yes Intel has made a poor handling of the Itanium line, but the Itanium architecture is very interesting, and is actually very appropriate for a HPC environment. Not the part of the HPC market that clusters dominate, but the segment that Cray, SGI, HP Alphaservers, etc. have traditionally dominated. The segment that doesn't give a shit about cooling, power consumption, or price-performance, but who just need to get the job done as quickly as possible.
Some of the coolest features of the Itanium are also some of the reasons why a lot of people don't want to use it. The EPIC ISA, for example. It was designed ( along w/ the physical hardware ) to expose a lot of the internal workings of the processor to the user. But rather than recompile and re-optimize their code, people would rather bitch about migration. That's fine for workstations and servers, but in an HPC environment, you want the nifty features, you want to occasionally hand-tune code segments in assembler, etc.
Anyways, I'm not a fanboy ( well, maybe an AMD and MIPS fanboy ), just wanted to get in a few honest points before everyone started shooting holes in the Itanic.
1) on our cluster, because every redhat kernel we've run had some problem, either w/ performance or stability. I'm sure if I took the time to compile it w/ all the correct.config options, stripped out a lot of the crap we don't need, etc., it would probably run just fine - but w/out the functionality that redhat's patches give you. So I take vanilla kernels, patch in what I need ( it's a lot easier to add patches and figure out what breaks, than to remove patches and then figure out what may or may not be causing the problem ), twist it up w/ whatever compiler is currently recommended, and we're good to go.
2) on our desktops and servers, the redhat kernel is almost always the way to go, and the only thing we ever add is the Nvidia drivers.
for my personal use, it depends. One workstation is running Fedora Core 2 test2 w/ a kernel.org 2.6.5 kernel, since I had issues w/ the out-of-box kernel + Nvidia drivers, other workstations are running Redhat 9 w/ the stock kernels, etc. It just all depends.
As far as back-porting features making a mongrel or a "dead-end" out of the kernel, the first thing I thought when I heard the SUSE head spouting that off, was "blow me". That's so much hot air it ain't even funny. Like the world will end if you ship a custom kernel to your customers w/ features that wouldn't be available `til later. Do you think development will end because Redhat backports NPTL? Oh shit, in that case I better stop patching drivers, adding the perfctr patches, etc. or else I'll be killing Linux. Linus, forgive me.
Actually, I've done this before. And who said anything about going for a gun? If I'm close enough to make a move, I'm just going to whip your ass and get your free gun.
And for reducing crime, it all comes back to being aware. I'm not going to have to go for my concealed gun, because if I'm carrying a handgun, and there's anything going down, it's already in my hand.
While the poster you're responding to is being a sarcastic jackass, there's a few things everyone should know :
1) Guns do deter crime.
2) Depending on the state, you do have a right to carry gun(s).
3) To get the drop on someone ( like you mention in your comment ), that person has to be unobservant. Watch your surroundings, and noone will get the drop on you. And even if someone does have the drop on you, how quickly can they react? If you want an interesting test, have someone put a gun to your back. Spin ( moving out of the line of fire as you do ) and throw a blow ( or grab the gun, kick, etc. ). Unless you're really slow, you should at the very least be able to get out of the line of fire before they react. Cool trick, courtesy of some survivalist nut I used to know.
I'm a resident of Harris County (Houston ), and they've been doing this for at least 7 years ( which is how long I've been getting arrested as an adult;) I'm 24. ).
Every damn time I get out of jail I end up w/ my mail box stuffed for at least a week w/ lawyers' ads. Even if I sat out my time and thus the case is closed.
And as far as calling his parents, unless his medical paperwork mentioned contact w/ a legal guardian, an adult's relatives are never contacted. Shit, you're lucky if you get your phone call until you make it to the main detention center ( which is a big help if you can make bail ).
I'll give them a sober one, which is a very strange blend of a deep South Texas accent, Nawlins ( New Orleans to all yall ), and a bit of Australian picked up off of one of my best friends and some co-workers who happen to be from there. Accent, syntax, etc. is a total muddle of the three ( shit, trying saying Zed for Z in the US, noone knows what the fsck you're talking about ).
Of course, get me drunk and I'm a prime candidate for a remake of Hee-Haw. If you're not a Southerner, and I'm drunk, good luck understanding a fucking word I'm saying.
Their research is listed as 7 billion, I'd be interested to know what their advertising budget is.
Probably an order of magnitude higher.
And before someone shits on me for being a typical/. anti-MS poster, think about it : if they spent 1/10 of their advertising budget on a code audit, you and I wouldn't have to spend 10-30 minutes a day deleting viruses from our inbox, courtesy of some window-licking tard in sales.
But, on the other hand, the words Broken By Design(tm) come to mind.
the real killer is that there's quite a few industries that can't rent time on their cluster because the gigabit interconnect ( IBM blade chassis have a switch module internal to each chassis, and I don't think you can get any HSLL - high-speed, low-latency - network interconnect modules ( Myrinet, SCI, Quadrics, etc. ) for them ) has too high of a latency for their applications.
Bandwidth-wise they should be fine, as each chassis has at least four ports that could be trunked to a top-level switch w/ a beefy backplane ( I could tell you the # of ports per chassis if I was at work, as I've been messing w/ some of their blades lately ), giving a peak per-chassis bw of > 400 MB/sec.
Of course, I'm wondering how Weta got around it themselves, as I would think that rendering digital video is fairly heavy on inter-node communication. This would still be aswesome for web-servers or problems that are "embarassingly parallel".
nowhere in the fscking article does it say anything about MS and Sendmail working together.
It tells of Sendmail launching a plugin for sendmail, and then :
"Microsoft is one of several companies who are also working to combat spam with a "caller ID" system."
Does anyone RTFA anymore? Am I alone in this? Is god really a abnormally large crustacean living on the moons of Jupiter?
I had one of these things installed as a condition of probation, about five years ago, and it was horribly inaccurate. I could drink a few beers, and the thing would start most of the time ( even though mine was set to never start if I'd been drinking ). But if I, god forbid, ate some chewing gum, used mouthwash, or smoked a cigarette w/in a half-hour of trying to start the fucking thing, it would fail me as having drank alcohol. Even rinsing your mouth w/ clean bottled water, as the assholes who put this thing in my truck suggested, would not generally be good enough to cover up a cigarette or anything else. The people who had installed it were generally either uncontactible, or unwilling to even look at it, and once threatened to report me to my probation officer for questioning them ( okay, and swearing at them, but it's not against the law to cuss ). The nastiest part of it all is that there is no burden of proof for them. If their little black box says you were drinking, the courts take it as concrete evidence, despite the fact that the unit is faulty/improperly tuned, and you are the one who goes to jail.
After one particularly nasty episode where it failed me five times in a row, when I hadn't touched a drop of alcohol in a week, had gone through an entire large bottle of water rinsing my mouth, and the fucking thing left me stranded at a store, I just flipped out and ripped the head unit out. Which caused an electrical fire. Which did 1000 USD worth of damage to my truck's electrical system. And burnt my hand.
As a final humorous side note, the company later contacted me w/ a large bill for services rendered ( monthly fees ), and cost of unit replacement ( since I hadn't been able to get ahold of anyone at the shop where I had it installed, I had just junked it in a closet somewhere ). I called them back and offered to sue them for my truck's repair bill ( even though it was technically my fault - hey, what they don't know won't hurt them, and I had no reason to care whether I was screwing these assholes over ) if they kept sending me bills, and then shipped their broken, half-burnt unit back to them. Good fucking riddance.
I suppose the only good thing about the consumer units will be that the things won't report them to anyone. I wonder how long it will be before they do, however.
But, regardless of whether breathalyzer's work or not, I am of the opinion that I should have the right to make my own decisions in this matter. There is a law that says I should be driving if my BAC is above some level ( 0.08 right now - bah! ), and if I choose to disobey that law and get caught, that's my business. I suppose it's part of the current cult of irresponsability that we are in. After all, it's only freedom if you're going to obey the law, right? Pretty fucking disgusting, huh? It's something of a slippery slope once you start taking away people's freedom to make a decision between a right and a wrong choice.
I'd be happy if my girlfriend got me a gift certificate from a computer store ( not best buy ), a backrub, and a nice romantic evening ( read : good takeout food and a kinky sex on the living room floor ).
Seriously. I haven't seen anyone suggest a gift certificate. I know them seem somewhat impersonal, but buying "geeky" things for a geek is hard. My girlfriend has great luck when it comes to music, books, and other cool things ( like a skydiving certificate, harley davidson jacket, etc. ), but when it comes to tech, she doesn't have a clue and would more likely than not getting me something that I would have to jump through hoops to return.
So do something else for him, and then get him a gift certificate. Trust me, he'll somehow rationalize a $100 cert into buying something that costs $250 because "hey, it's like it's on sale!"

The definition of a lie . Merriam-Webster has a more detailed definition, but no direct links.
So yes, jackass, you are lying to your listeners. That's all it boils down to.
Of course, some people ( of which I am one ) would argue that almost all media has been lying to us for quite some time.
