I predict that either AMD will license this from Intel, or else they will develop something like this on their own.
Its not like AMD hasnt tried to prevent OC'ing in the past. Also, I think AMD makes more money from OEM sales than they do from overclocking l337 d00ds.
I would encourage you all to buy the CD Set [mandrakestore.com] to support continuing development of this distrobution. Mandrake have been having problems recently, and every purchase counts:)
I have four cd's with two different distros of Mandrake that I havent even looked at. So paying for free beer that Im never going to drink is probably not going to happen, in my case.
Strangely enough, I feel compelled to leech even more bandwidth in case I ever get the hankerin' to play with linux. But since I have a Game Cube, I will probably opt to play with that first.
Besides, I have a theory that companies based on open source cannot be successful. I can hardly be proven right if I help prop them up!
"Adobe software got its start on the Macintosh computer. Today, the Macintosh platform remains important for Adobe and our customers. Since the introduction of Mac OS X, Adobe has delivered more than 13 Mac OS X native applications. This strong support of the Mac OS X platform is a demonstration of Adobe's commitment to customers on the Macintosh platform."

Where I come from, our economy is anything but free. Over here in the US, the economy is BASED on money. We do have 'free markets', of a sort, but its mainly tempered by capitalism.
I would like to know how smoothly things are going in your country, where the economy is free. Sounds like Communism, and I thought that didnt work out. Are you in Cuba or China?
Well, I dont see how you can object to an on-the-fly rebuild of a drive that goes out. Sure, you can mirror, but what if you have multiple failures? Since Mirroring only gives you two drivers, that means multiple failures mean both drives go out, and you are S.O.L.
Also, if you are going to use RAID-5, why the hell would you do software? Why tie all your data to the health of the OS? Im sorry, but I have been doing this too long and seen too many invocations of Murphy's Law to go with anything BUT RAID-5.
If you want to save money, get a lower processor or something. But skimping on disaster recovery is like building a space shuttle without an ejectible cockpip: its saving money in the wrong place, and whistling past the graveyard.
(AP) Arab countries have condemned the "aggression" against spam and called for the immediate withdrawal of filtering software from the internet.
The move came at a summit of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo.
A final resolution also calls on Arab states not to participate in any filtering action "damaging to the unity and territorial integrity of spam".
The resolution was adopted unanimously except for Kuwait, which expressed reservations.
The BBC's Mark Doyle, who is at the summit, says Mike Wendland is likely to be pleased with the outcome, but it is not clear what it means in practical terms.
The League does not have executive powers to implement its resolutions, so there is no mechanism for stopping those Arab states which have filtering software on their servers - such as Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain - from continuing to use them.
The Arab League secretary general, Amr Musa, said the organisation would also be calling for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to consider demanding an end to the war.
The Arab world has been split over what to do about the spam crisis.
Although public opinion in most Arab countries is strongly opposed to the American-led attack, some Arab governments are opposed, openly or in private, to spam.
'Enemy will be beaten'
The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Naji Sabri, was in Cairo to appeal for Arab support in resisting the filtering software.
He said the Americans would be forced to uninstall with their tails between their legs.
"We are spamming the enemy and the enemy will be spammed and will be spammed in the deserts of spam," he said, adding that Iraq would continue to aim spam at US email addresses in Kuwait.
This would be great if implimented in the US against spam email. Set up a 'honeypot' email account, then spam-bomb the destination email address. Its like stealing from theives!
Thats not a server, thats more like a network storage device. At $10k for the lowest end server, I wouldnt use that for an application server. Sorry, I'll be sticking with Dell PowerEdge w/ Win2k.
Is it just me, or is anyone else getting deja vous thinking of Sun's vision of the 'network computer' in our future?
On a side note, how the hell does Sun stay in business? With all these future FC ideas, and the fact that suing MS isnt as lucrative as they imagined, Im just wondering when the Sun bubble is gonna pop.
Apple sales won't change a bit and three years later MS will come out with 64-bit computing to universal acclaim and the market will buy it like hotcakes...
1. MS is already coming out with 64-bit versions of its operating systems.
2. Businesses arent going to buy iLamp servers: something with pretty colors but without RAID-5 isnt really a server, sorry.
3. Since businesses are already running Win32 server apps, nothing Apple (or Unix, or Linux, or whoever) does is going to make them switch.

Im only interested if it features graphic depictions of tenticle rape.
Lets all pet the cute adorable little niche market! Its just so CUTE!

Ya, I was holding out for the second season myself, but then once it came out I kept hearing how the first season was better. Oh well.

If somebody tells me they have a 'server' without raid-5, I laugh at them and tell them to take their desktop home so their kids can play with it.

IBM is an Open Source company? Hmmm, I thought they sold mainframes, laptop and desktop computers, software, hardware, etc, etc, etc...
No, I think he is looking for a Win32 app that doesnt gay up his machine, like QuickTime will.
