The key distinction between clusters and grids mainly lies in the way resources are managed. In case of clusters, the resource allocation is performed by a centralised resource manager and all nodes cooperatively work together as a single unified resource. In case of Grids, each node has its own resource manager and don't aim for providing a single system view.
Pity I don't have any moderator points at the moment, or I will mod up the parent. I've wondered about why wikipedia aren't using Google Adsense before. I wouldn't mind seeing unintrusive ads for such an excellent online resource.
> The article fails to take into account that those EQ platinums aren't conversible. Meaning, you can auction them off in eBay, but only a minority will ever be.
How is that not conversible? How many people holding the US dollar or the Japanese yen are selling their money on the foreign currency market?
>If they were a real currency, not necessarily the US dollar, then they would be convertible and these measurements and comparisions would make sense.
The exchange rate depends on the supply and demand of a currency, not on some arbitrary conversion factor (well unless you are talking about non-floating currency such as China's RMB).
If there are a lot of a particular currency on the market (eg if some big finicial inventment company decides to sell due to falling interest rates), its price will fall against other currencies in the market.
One thing with trademe.co.nz is that you are expected to transfer money between real NZ bank accounts. I don't think a bank account number provides much protection, but it is definitely not as dodgy as paypal.
And I have done over 100 trades on trademe in the last 2 years. Buying and selling games, computer parts, books, small appliances, etc. Never had a bad trade at all. Maybe kiwis are just more honest:)
I just love this comment from the article: "... could cut down unnecessary time wasted wriggling in and out of garments, and prevent impatient finger-tapping of waiting friends and partners".
I don't know about other people, but I spend a lot more time looking at myself with the garments on in front of the mirror, thinking wether I have any clothes or accessories to match, and deciding if this is a waste of money. If you are spending that much time wriggling, maybe you picked clothes that are 4 sizes too small:)
With "nv", you can't have load glx. And that's why you are getting "Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not found)".
With "nvidia", you need load glx, but you have to delete load dri and load glcore. Actually, I played around with it for a while and find that you can actually still load dri, but not glcore.
As for the kernel interface, if you are using a standard kernel from a major distribution, nvidia has precompiled ones. So it shouldn't reached that step unless you really know what you are doing (ie you've compiled your own kernel).
I agree with other poster that you have a weirdly configured XF86Config-4.
I guess I must have lucked out. Reinstall my desktop today with Mandrake 9.2, and since the old one I have required a kernel interface compile (it's way too old), I downloaded the new one (5328), and worked first time I installed it. The only thing is that I can't load the GLcore module. I think sometimes you can't just take these forums as an indication of how wide spread the problem is. People who have problems are also the loudest ones.
I think you missed the point on VoIP. I'm using Skype to make calls from New Zealand to England. Just imagine the phone bill! And you don't need a really high-speed internet connection for it to work reasonably well. I'm on 128kbps only. I've also tested it with Kazaa running concurrently, and though the sound quality drops, it's still acceptable.
As for 100% uptime. This is not to replace normal phone, but for people who need to make lots of long distance calls to a few people. I don't care if it's 100% reliable, as long as it's cheap and sounds ok.
And about the cost on broadband. I'm already paying for it, whether I'm using Skype. So it's basically a non-issue. However, I'll have to fork out mega bucks to make long distance calls even though I've already paid my connection charge for POTS. Basically, Skype = save $$$.
I don't know what she's done, but my logitech wheel mouse works without any problem in my own mandrake 9.0 install.
I think I did scroll my wheel though.
In fact, a number of Mandrake users in the OSNews comment's section agree that this release has been buggy
I read the first page of comments and don't know whtat some of those readers are smoking. Can't burn 700Mb isos on anything? I burned all three of them with the cdrecord on Debian Potato. In short, don't just blindly agree with the comments says, use your own common sense.
The chinese how-to will tell you what most of the software does. It's at the usual place - http://www.tldp.org.
Mandrake comes with 1. chinese input (both big5 and gb) with xcin. 2. cjk latex for editing (if you already know how to use latex, of course) 3. mozilla is big 5 (gb?) aware already 4. there's a chinese shell somewhere on the disk 5. emacs works with big5 input without xcin.
Fonts, locales and even some manpages and howtos also comes with the distribution. The only thing I haven't got working is actually displaying chinese in the title bars and window manager toolbars.
It's very clear that the illegal net cafes are shut down because they're a hazzard to the patrons. Slashdotters are linking it to internet freedom because of the rampant anti communist feelings around.
As for the anonymity of surfing in an internet cafe as opposed to home, there isn't any, since the government could just required all net cafe to keep a log of their patrons. China have universal ID cards so that won't be hard.
Just think about what would happen if this was in the US. Kids die in illegal net cafe/pub/dance party warehouse because there aren't any fire exits. Wouldn't you think the parents will all be in an outrage to close all these unsafe places down?

The idea seems to be to turn the whole network into a cluster.
This is answered in the FAQ at gridcomputing.com:

In case of clusters, the resource allocation is performed by a centralised resource manager and all nodes cooperatively work together as a single unified resource.

NAME
fork - create a child process
SYNOPSIS
#include
#include
pid_t fork(void);
The 731 you get is the pid of the child process.

Being female, I'd say it's more like
A woman will spend $2 on a $1 item because it looks better than the $1 one.
Just look at who's buying all those expensive shoes and clothes.

The Atlanta Journal-constitution also has a story about this. The story reports that it's a 7210. I guess owners of the 7210 beware :)
