Less can be better in the kernel because it can be scrutinized better.
But your right also. If every 30 million lines or more linux kernel can be eyeballed for overflows then that would work i suppose. It's just hard to do.
Heat and poor efficiency is caused by 'serial' slow general processors. Amd is no different. Scientists are now moving to parallel/streaming processing GPU's. This kind of chip while hard to program for is still superior. The compiler tech is only getting better. Itanium is an excellent chip that you just dogged. Dump the legacy Intel ISA.
Credence is a robust and decentralized system for evaluating the reputation of files in a peer-to-peer filesharing system. Our goal is to enable peers to confidently gauge file authenticity, the degree to which a file's contents matches its advertised description.
At the most basic level, Credence employs a simple, network-wide voting scheme where users can contribute positive and negative evaluations of files. On top of this, a client uses statistical tests to weight the importance of votes from their peers. And finally, Credence allows clients to extend the horizon of information by selectively sharing information with their peers. Authenticity and Pollution
We define pollution broadly as any file with content that does not match its description. An authentic file, by contrast, has content that is accurately described by its metadata. We find in practice that pollution in current networks can be easily identified by users without any special knowledge or expertise. As pollution becomes more sophisticated, more advanced detection techniques will need to be developed to help users safely identify malicious content. Voting
The Credence system relies on individual users as the first line of defense against pollution. After a user downloads and uses a file, she is given a chance to submit a single vote to the Credence system: a positive (thumbs-up) vote for authentic files, and a negative (thumbs-down) vote for a polluted file. Each vote is cryptographically signed and entered into the system. Vote Gathering
Credence uses these votes collected in the network to determine the authenticity of content. Credence displays a rating for each file that appears in response to a user query.
First, the client software executes a search for votes, and downloads a number of votes randomly selected from the network. These votes are then aggregated into a single estimate of the authenticity of the file in question.
Each vote collected from the network is not used directly, however, since some peers in the network may accidentally vote incorrectly, or even lie intentionally about the file's authenticity. Therefore we assign to each peer a correlation coefficient, or weight, reflecting the historical usefulness of the peer's votes. In effect, this helps remove the incentive for an attacker to lie about the authenticity of files. A consistent liar is, after all, just as useful as an honest peer when it comes to distinguishing authentic files and pollutions. And an inconsistent voter will come to be be ignored by others in the network. Information Sharing and Transitive Correlation
Peer-to-peer networks can grow quite large, and many clients might participate rarely, sharing and voting on only a few files. This means that alone, a client may have trouble quickly discovering peer correlations and other historical data. To alleviate this problem, Credence uses a technique called transitive correlation to quickly spread information among small groups of peers and help clients expand their horizon.
In Credence, a client periodically requests historical data from selected peers in the network. This data contains information on how the peer voted in the past (cryptographically signed, as before), and information about how the peer is related to other peers in the network. The client can then validate this information for authenticity, then integrate it into its local databases. In this way, not only does the client take advantage of the work other peers do in evaluating files for authenticity, but also gains insight into the behavior of peers in the network. All this is done without need for user interaction, or any peer trust values, which can be difficult for a user to accurately determine. Changes to the LimeWire Client and Gnutella Network
Credence is integrated into the LimeWire client, and works on top of the Gnutella network. The implementation is built entirely on top of existing primitives in the Gnutella protocol. It opens up no additional ports
If anybody has hacked windows api then you know what these guys have done. Good stuff.

Sleep coincides with darkness. There is also activity happening in the brain .
Sleep is mainly energy conservation. All animals do it.
That sounds nice but you know the saying ........

That wasn't his point.
The more code you throw in an OS kernel then you have more exploitable code.
He's talking microkernel.

More efficient. More powerful. Great for games too !
If they sold one at the store that had 2 of these chips in them and ran XP/game and linus I would never look back at serial General purpose chips.

I liked the article until the part of incorporating the technology into fricking cellphones. That makes no sense to me.
We need a public movement to start an cheap,'open' xmax/wimax network for low cost rate($5) portable phones.
Like what Slash does.

-Most of the files on P2p are loaded with TROJAN Horses and Viruses ! Beware.
-You usually have to hold on to a 'bad' program just to review it for others in Kazaa . Kind of stupid.
-Usually have to look at size of file to determine if it's even worth downloading. Kazaa tried to use a metric like that for video.
-I thought of something like a Slashdot review system with creditable arbitrators . Damnit where are my props ?
-Emule does have good content but emule is ridiculously slow even with broadband.
Microsoft locks you into their software.
Apple locks you into both software and hardware.
Do you really believe this is an upgrade over a regular 'cheap' mouse ?
Think about it.
Websites are now using these instead of regular popups to get by the popup blockers.
thanks
It's time. We don't need spacecraft with foam layered on it. We need something different or build some new 'tanks' without the need of thick foam.
It's laughable that foam was used in the first place on the exterior.

Superconducting supercomputer. Too expensive but maybe need to build one to see how they work.m .htm

Using 'general' processors is cheap but the wrong direction according to the best supercomputer expert from Stanford. He designed some cray computers.

Exactly. IBM knows that linux has a fanbase so they advertise their servers to them.
OpenBsd rivals OpenVms in security.
Any kernel like linux that includes drivers is going to cause stability problems.
Anyways.
Has anyone wondered about the public utilities not encouraging energy conservation ? Yeah , they seem to want people to consume more energy.
This is where private enterprise fails. We need to SLOW down consumption and use more clean resources like SOLAR.
We all need to put solar cells on our houses but you see the 'public utilities' who are now 'private' may not want that.
It will take big lobby money to change ways.
That was a total scam. I doubt it was up to them.
Silverman was probably behind it.
We need something other than harddrives. They are the slowest part of computers and they crash.
A laser/magneto drive would be more reliable and have more density ?
Dont think so. try the link first. I have adblock.
