AIX ownz linux. Solaris (NOT x86 SLowLaris) ownz Linux in every aspect. If these two OSs didn't own, Linux would permeate my reality to a point at which I'd actually beforce to develop for it because it can't do anything I want it to.
Unix doesn't belong on the desktop, it wasn't designed for that purpose. It's like racing a hummer against a ferrari.
Why is IBM wasting their time? who knows. I do know IBM is a VERY political company.
Dell computers and other computers have been doing this for some time in an attempt to disallow the 'ultimate' rootkit: a screwdriver and basic knowledge of PC Building.
40 years ago a computer less powerful than your TI-89 was so expensive that ONLY powerful governments could afford them. Everything eventually trickles down...
At frequencies as high as this, the only obstacles that would really stop signals would be mountains. (Or of course, high energy EMPs, such as those from a power station, high tension lines, solar flare, or a nuclear blast, although short of a nuclear blast or solar flare, I doubt you would experience too much interference from other sources).
For once, an issue on/. that's actually worth talking about...
Ok, so the FCC is looking into this technology. They have been for a while now, but it's starting to look like they may allow civilian research on it (finally). It's not like this stuff is brand-spanking-new to science or anything...
Broadbands "last mile" solutions have, until recently, be very pricey, unreliable, and sometimes non-existant. (Sounds like an oxymoron because in many cases, 'rural broadband' is an oxymoron).
So, great! We now have a new promising technology which could bring 'rural' areas massive bandwidth (I mean 12.5 GIGABYTE!), but what can be defined as 'rural'? 12 miles isn't very far from any 'non-rural' area, and in some places (such as New Mexico) 12 miles can mean 6000 ft elevation changes, solid granite mountains, and generally prohibitive terrain. It seems like this technology might have more potential for bringing cheap, easy-to-use broadband to metropolitain areas and their suburbs. (Much as cable, DSL, and microwave wireless currently does). However, in a large metropolitain area, one has to aknowledge the amount of traffic flying around (but that's way off-topic).
12 miles will not change how broadband effects rural areas. Once there is a 100 mile solution, THEN we will have bridged the "last mile" gap. (Lasers anyone?)
I'm all for technologies like this, and contrary to some people's beliefs (*COUGH* CmdrTaco*COUGH*) we might actually see technologies like this take off en masse in the next 10 years.
The way I look at it is 10 years ago I never would have dreamed of having a satellite TV downstream hookedd up to a DVR that automatically removes ads from TV, the can send these recordings around the world via the internet. Hell, 10 years ago no one really realized how the internet would reshape society (and if you think it hasn't, you're an idiot).
The scientists will keep researching. The possiblities are endless and nothing is "impossible".
One day I might even have broadband at home, 15 miles from town, up in the mountains;).
I think AOL paid for this article and you should be modded down if you think otherwise because i'm more important than you and you don't have a brown 'w00t' t-shirt.
It may be an achievement for OSS, but it's garbage for everyone else.
Mozilla is slow, large, and buggy at best. It reminded me of the NS 4.7 beta, except for the fact that netscape was the cool thing to use at the time.
The war of the browsers is over and IE won. Not because it's the better browser, but because everything is now written to be IE compatible rather that standards compliant.
Buy yourself a replaytv and you won't even have to fast-forward through commercials. Now if i could only get the fucking think to work with my satellite reciever...
I can't believe that you actually managed to turn this into a "good for linux" post. This is a sad day for humanity.
Do us all a favor and kill yourself so I don't have to go all the way to where you are to pull your head out of you ass so I can shove my boot up there. Fucking people contaminating an otherwise perfectly chaotic genepool...
Slashdot Mirror
If a compromise can't be made on DEBUGGING, I can't imagine what other problems must be going on.
It's really no wonder that Linux is in the state it is in.
I think IBM is wasting thier time.
AIX ownz linux. Solaris (NOT x86 SLowLaris) ownz Linux in every aspect. If these two OSs didn't own, Linux would permeate my reality to a point at which I'd actually beforce to develop for it because it can't do anything I want it to.

you lose.
tubgirl loves you.

keep copies protected is to not give them out.
Maybe these companies should stop selling the programs entirely. That would stop the piracy.

No, like having Mozilla bundled with the newest AOL. Nothing short of that will ever give mozilla more than 20% of the market.
This is only funny because it's a dream, not a reality.
Mozilla lost.

The coolest thing I have ever seen was a Human ear growing out of a mouse's back
The important thing is, that with this new technology, It will no longer be illegal for me to eat dead baby burritos at a Dying Fetus concert.
Riiiiight... blame the xians....
Oh wait. This is the xtians fault, just like everything else that's happened in the last thousand years.
Gte over yourselves. There is no god. We are god. That is all.
But if you do that, you can't eat what's left of the embryo when you're done.
mmmm... embryo...
this crack.
YOU DARE SPEAK OF CLIT AS AN AC?
You will die a thousand deaths by way of tubgirl
Will that new liver/lungs I wanted for christmas be plug and play compliant?
I hate the post limit things and fucking dumb mods
FOR CLiT!!!
They get the shit kicked out of them regardless.
No, linux is free :P

they would go away if it wasn't for clo0less no0bs who can't figure out what a bootblock is or how to use nero.
I haven't had to use a floppy for anything but a bios flash in years (and that's only because of the laziness of BIOS programmers).
Death to the floppy and all that it stands for!!!
