Does the high cache size of Sparc processors outweigh their slower clockspeeds? Do the instruction sets?
I'll soon be getting a server that does involved calculations for for members of Math Addicts Anonymous. These will involve things like prime factorizations of insanely large numbers and calculating pi to more digits than anyone could ever care about. Assuming a budget of $500(the server will have other duties) for the motherboard/ram/processor, what would be the best architecture for the job?
Just to point out the stupidity of English class after elementary school:
I'm currently taking advanced sophomore English. We spent 5 damn weeks learning that an oxymoron is a contradiction combined withing two words that when combined contain truth. 5 damn weeks! Now if you head on over to the dictionary you see no mention of any hidden truth.
Granted, I'm biased against English because of its lack of definitive structure, and that it has no universal truth. A grammar rule exists because it is in a textbook. It is in the textbook because it was common usage a century or two ago. So rather than than teach us what's true nowadays, English class is designed to hold language back against change.

That's complete bullcrap. The rest of my generation doesn't know shit about computers beyond basic web browsing and email.
As for you being a racist; the primary advantage of the internet is that people like you don't realize that the person talking to you is of another nationality or race. A drawback is that people can't punch you in the face for basing your life on such a moronic principal.
The zaurus has the best keyboard I've yet seen in a palmtop. Their new model has a "laptop style" folding k/b, but with only 32 mb of ram it isn't worth buying. Anyways, text entry for single words is fine, or even short memos, but try coding on it and you see the design flaws. Many special characters require the use of the on-screen k/b, and your thumb start to hurt after extended use.
I wanted one of those things until you showed me what it looks like!
What I'd really like is a "graphing calculator keyboard" addon for my Zaurus. Maybe I could use a terminal program for my 82 or my 85; they wouldn't be much of a loss....
Assuming they use a 64bit key, so that Sun could legally export it from America, that's only 2^64 possible combinations, roughly 1.845E19. While that may be more than enough for the billions inhabiting the Earth; it's also rather easy to break if you have a few computers and prime number lookup table on DVD given enough time.
I'm not saying that it's absolutely useless; time and computing power are still issues. How long would it take to break this if you "borrowed" your universities labs for processing it? How long if you got such a distributed computing project on slashdot?
I have irrefutable proof that Iinvented the log itself in the year 1900. My working model is a DOS box that made Zork available over a token ring net I forgot about in the basement.
I demand half of whatever you win in your infringement case. If not I will sue; half a semester of high school business law should be enough for me to win without hiring real lawyers.
An oscilliscope can show a waveform, and through that the user can derive the frequency of modulation.
What keeps this from being done to find the frequency just "hopped" to? Why can't the whole waveform be recorded for future demodulation once the frequencies and times have been determined?
BTW, once we get reliable quantum entanglement, this will be irrelevant as we could do perfect encryption. Well, perfect until the commies figure out how to latch onto and/or predict entanglement values.
and it may have high-speed action for the first half, but does it have stoned hippies like FlameBoarding?
I'm thinking of adding Corporate Drones that can be run over for cool points in the next version. Then they could learn that corporations suck and must be runover with snowboards.
A friend of mine recently switched to Linux and was confused at why a normal user couldn't open/etc/passwd with kedit. After I explained UNIX security to him, he understood the advantages.
NT's security is still balanced upon "the user is root" as a philosiphy, more so with 5.1 than ever before. This is a primary reason for why windows sucks.
The end result is that if I want to port VIM to Palladium Windows, I have to get it keysigned because it messes with files. Unsigned files have less freedom than an unsigned Java Applet, right? If so then screw palladium, I'll never buy a PC again!
(I should probably wait until after they release the chip to blurt this out, but Sun offers a PCI card that contians a PC processor and doodads. The Sun box uses that card to run PC software in realtime. Something similar could be made and then used as a "key generator" by bochs to fake what it hasn't reverse engineered.)

1. Is palladium optional for the SO? Could Linux or Winshit98 be installed on a Palladium box w/ no ill effects?
2. Is palladium optional for developers? Can "Joe Shareware" still release his software w/out paying an evil corporation for the right to sell it?
3. Is there any way whatsoever in which this would help Joe User or Joe Hacker(not to be confused with Joe Cracker)?
4. Will this be integrated on Sparc and PowerPC or just PCs? Is AMD accepting this BS or just Intel?
5. Who will be in charge of licensing keys for palladium software?
"Denial of Service", is the flooding of a server so that it stops functioning.
"Disk Operating System", is an OS like Windows that bases its structure upon drives rather than directories like UNIX/Linux or Mac OS do. Windows NT is still a DOS even if it (supposedly) doesn't contain MS-DOS derived code.
On a side note, DOSes seem to contribute more to server malfunctions than DoSes.
for in-class use you might wanna try ghostzilla. We switched to it in my high school computer programming class (a joke, I wanted to vomit when I saw the teachers code formatting.) and not a single person was ever caught using it.
It will do cool things like open inside existing windows in greyscale with images only shown on mouseover, and it will disappear when you mouse leaves its area on to come back with a flick of the wrist. If you don't need precautions that serious, it has lesser settings of paranoia.
Start with one mailserver, exim(my favorite).
If the authors of Exim add a feature to encrypt mail being transfered from one mailserver to another, while keeping it an optional extension, then they retain compatibility while adding a neat feature.
A mail server could be configured to change "joe hacker " to "joe hacker (real) " or "joe hacker (spoofed) " depending upon whether the originating smtp server's authorization is found and properly identified in the headers of the message, just like a pgp key but for the server rather than the user.
Is there any form of server-side pgp or gpg that automatically adds key sigs to user messages and checks incoming sigs? Nearly all of my mail servers users use squirrel mail, and it would be a nice feature to offer.

copying is not theft.
The recording industry has never made as much as the figures they are citing for "stolen" music.
Imagine Torvalds charging $100/license for the Linux kernel. Would he be filthy rich, or would we all migrate to *BSD?

How long can subterranian structures hold up under the weight of our garbage?
I'm thinking more 5 minutes ago; one process determines the frequencies and send them to another process that demodulates that portion of the signal.
Is the earth's orbit also slowing? Perhaps at some time the Earth orbitted the sun once ever 365.0000 days instead of once every 365.2425 days.
