ahhh good 'ol @stake.. not to be confused with l0pht heavy industries and their ill tempered sibling the CDC;) i guess this is what happens when old school hackers realize they need to make a living somehow.
I agree with Perens, I'd like to see it in writing as well. Everyone likes riding on the shoulders of IBM as if they're some savior. You can almost here the oss fighters telling themeselves "finally, a big guy in the corner for the little guy fighting for the cause".
clue for the clueless, IBM is in it for IBM, if the tide ever changes and oss's destruction becomes favorable for IBM don't expect any mercy.
but every time I start giving it some real thought someone else gets abducted and murdered. I don't know what the pay rate is, i'm more interested in just the experience but i dunno if i'm confotable with the risks.
..maybe northern Iraq with the Kurds, from what i understand things are pretty stable there.
SCO now thrive on headlines alone. Stop talking about them and they'll go away quicker.
well they're not thriving anymore. It's kind of sad really, SCO use to be contender.Don't they have a spot secured on the UNIX timeline along with ATT and the others somewhere? Too bad mgmnt/greed/stupidity/etc got in the way. oh well, you know what they say, out with the old in with the nucleus.
if they could use this to build a mach 7 cruise missile that has the accuracy of todays cruise missiles it would be an incredibly formidable weopen. Imagine a spy sat. finding a target and then being able to deliver ordnance on that target within a few hours regardless of whether or not there are any deployments in the region.
Out of curosity, have you ever worked with a well-designed, well-engineered, and competently operated Netware network
in this context you could replace the word "Netware" with anything and it would be a joy to work with.They key phrases are "well-designed" "well-engineered" and "copentently operated"
ATM may not have ever reached the desktop but it is a very good backbone protocol. It was designed from the start for fast switching and has QOS features built into the protocol. Things like Gbit eithernet and 10gbit ethernet are available but ethernet was never designed as a WAN protocol and lacks features that ATM has.
I would say over half of the tier1 ISP's are running ATM on their backbones. That would make ATM a very succesful technology in the Internet.
god i'm glad i can't stand computer games. that ranks right up there with the fact that i can't stand to smoke... anything. there's two strokes of luck i have going for me.
I've read about.NET remoting and maybe I just don't know the subtleties enough but it seems to me to just be a wrapper for SOAP and a different transport protocol option ( the binary one ). I've used SOAP in the past and even found it a little over the top. Most of time when I have RPC type stuff to do I just use XML-RPC. It's so simple and small.
I use XML-RPC to bridge programs like getting a C and Java program to communicate across the network and even on the localhost and soon i'll be using it with C# and Java then Java and a Cobol legacy app( i hope anyway.. does Cobol even have TCP socket support?).
I hear there is a group of terrorists in FL holding a plane load of SCO lawyers hostage. They're threatening to release one every hour unless their demands are met.
Running unused services is a mistake. The first thing you should do after an install is turn off all unused services, it lightens the load and increases security substantially.
After you think you got things undercontrol, nmap your box ie.. 'nmap $yourIp' and make sure there aren't any more open ports then should be.
a color display and the ability to play mpg's would be a very cool addition to the ipod. The harddrives have more then enough space for full length movies and the screens are available ( those LCD's on digital camera's would work just fine for me ). I suppose the only real sticky spot is battery life.

I always thought Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas came the closest. Like when Hunter enters the hotel and looks at the floor and the patterns on the floor start to move and "drip up" the boots of the guy in line. I have seen that more then once with intricate patterns on a plane ( walls, floors, ceilings ect.. ). Also, when he is at the bar and things just all of the sudden go crazy ( dinosaurs, bowl of worms ) and it just keeps getting worse and worse then his friend completely snaps him out of it by saying "hey!". yeah that has happened to me before too.
My friend works for what was UUNET in Richardson TX. His datacenter is on two seperate power feeds and has two or three massive generators with 30 days of fuel. When I asked him why 30 days he said that if the datacenter doesn't have power for >30 days then society is crumbling and Internet access/web sites are pretty low on the overall priority list.
I wonder what can be done to reduce delay. Obviously its always going to be a factor. It just takes time for a signal to go from point A to point B its a fact of life. As bandwidth increases maybe routing algorithms could take physical distance into account when picking an ideal route. Two links have the same bandwidth and utilization? well pick the one that is physically closer.
Another thing to consider is physical infratructure layouts. I bet that there is a 10Mbit/sec connection out there that actually has better throughput then a 100Mbit/sec connection to the same destination based soley on a shorter/better physical path.

I remember when transparent terminals came out in E ( called ETerms ). They were the coolest thing i'd ever seen.
Phase 1: Uncritical acceptance.
Phase 2: Wild enthusiasm.
Phase 3: Dejected disillusionment.
Phase 4: Total confusion.
Phase 5: Search for the guilty.
Phase 6: Punishment of the innocent.
Phase 7: Promotion of nonparticipants.
that is now hanging up in my cube. bless you.

The Zen Buddhist in me would love it if the expansionary universe became a cyclical big bang/crunch.
actually the Zen Buddhist in you would love it if you stopped worrying about the universe, but only as much as he hated it.

Good did prevail in the end.

awwwwww crap!!!! I use this chipset almost exclusively cause it has a cool little crab on the chip :P
the japanese take on the club sandwich. I bet it's smaller and more efficient.
it'd be interesting to see ATT get involved.
if IBM is the 800 lb gorilla that you don't pick a fight with then ATT is the demon you hope you never even *see* let alone start poking with a stick.
now the market is starting to turn on them as well...
the end is near SCO
no biggie, cheese is better at room temp. anyway.
