I think you're viewing this from the point of an individual.
For a large company, that is one months salary for their lowest employee. Won't take long for a decent product to pay itself off at that price.
Wouldn't it just be easier to move to a country that uses DVB?
The reason for this being that DVB cards are well supported under linux and there is also no "broadcast flag" crap. With DVB all you have to do is decide whether you need -T (terrestrial), -S (satellite) or -C (cable).
So, why not move to europe or australia...it'd be easier (and probably cheaper, how much does a fab cost these days?) than getting a digital reciever that does what you want for QAM.
About the only similarity between i860 and i960 is that they both start with i and end with 60. Also, they come from intel. Other then that, they are extremely different.
Sparc uses register windows. Sparc was a fairly direct descendent of the Stanford RISC project (early 80's?), which is where register windows came from. Of course they might date back further, but they've definately been there a while.
I seem to remember that sun allowed people to buy cheap solaris source licenses a few years ago. I think there were a lot of restrictions on what you could do with it, but this won't be the first time for opened solaris source.
Ummm, well, how about the fact that there are still area's that you can't get 56k of bandwidth. I think with applications like communications with deep space probes you're lucky if you get >100 baud.
There are also places where you don't need huge globs of bandwidth. I run serial consoles at 9600 baud just because it's all that's needed for the application.
Also, just because you have a lot of bandwidth doesn't mean it's time to start wasting it. Remember, in some communications, every bit counts. So stop being sloppy.
I mean, here in.au, a lot of broadband isp's are still trying to charge around 18c/MB on business plans. If you're wasing 9600 bits per second, that's approximately 1KB/s (assuming 2 stop bits per byte) of wastage, or about 3MB per hour. Now, if you're a business and you're running this around 20 times (that's not many instances even for a small company), thats a cost of $10.80 per hour, or ~$250 per day. It adds up.
I'm not too sure if it's going to happen to anyone else or it was just my bad luck. But if if bitches about not having a license when trying to compile it under OSX, try "touch LICENSE.GPL" before running "./configure".
Go out and get a firewire controller.
Right there you have almost 3 times the bandwidth of a SCSI controller, and 4 times the bandwidth of an ata100 IDE controller.
Dude, lay off the crack smoking. Firewire-400 is 400Mbit/s (50MB/s). SCSI is up to 320MB/s. In reality, firewire is just scsi over a serial medium.

You're off by quite a bit there.
1 cubic meter is 1000 litres. 1 litre is 1 kilogram (of water @ 0 degrees C?). 2.5 megatons sounds more likely.
4MB? You're off by a bit. Try 128KB.

That used an R4000 derivative (R4300 I think).

TCP != IP...They are 2 seperate layers, TCP sits on top of IP.
There never was a "solaris 4.4". There was sunos 4.1.4.

If you can stand just having elisp, then viper-mode is for you.

Slashdot...reputable...oxymoron
How about a bomb?
That way the parts will be distributed and Darl will be denied of service.
Actually, the third state in a tristate device is a high impedance state.
until someone comes out with a code morphing solution that turns the crusoe into a sparc/alpha/(insert favourite processor here).
So what if the rest of the hardware will be peecee, it'd still be some fun.

Well, if all you wanted was DVD's in ascii art, mplayer is your friend.
mplayer -vo aa
Just make sure you compile mplayer with aalib support.

So f@!king what. IBM had G[1-5] S/390's.
It's not going to come up 23000 seconds later, more like approx 23 seconds. The javascript settimeout does about 1000 ticks per second.
Grrr, should have used preview..... Just read it with a new line before each '$'.
Why not just: $ cd /usr/src/linux
$ find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs cat | wc -l
Any book by Knuth seems to remain useful for a long time as well. When was volume 1 of "The Art of Computer Programming" first published?
