From what I understand, that ethernet adapter can't be plugged to an Apple ][c, which doesn't have extensions ports, if I'm not mistaken.
Too bad that's the model I have, I'll still have to setup serial transfer if I want to upload stuff on this...

Same for me. I let Airsnort run for two days on my girlfriend's box while working on my laptop, and altough Airsnort showed a few thousands of encrypted packets, the number in the "Interesting" column was still 0 (zero). I guess you're safe (apart from bruteforce or to-be-discovered vulnerabilities) with recent firmwares.
Interesting new followup on Tanenbaum's page

Stallman vs Ken Brown

A. Tanenbaum has recently posted an email he received. Interesting stuff, in which you'll discover the way K. Brown does his analysis. stuff here
On the reverse side, it can provide exactly who contributed the code (which can already be done mind you), but this time, they certified it for use, which can possibly cause more legal troubles.
Well, the submitter would certify that he has right to write and submit $patch - (a) or (b) of Linus' certificate example. People touching and applying $patch would certify (c): that the previous hop in the chain certified (a), (b) or (c). They wouldn't verify the original submitter's claims.
"signing off on patches" that would better track which developers had handled source code contributions.
Linus Torvalds' problem is the fact that, as it is currently easy to find out who commited the patch, and often who provided it (which often appears in Bitkeeper's changelog), the whole submission process can be a blackbox - if I send a patch to alsa subsystem's maintainer, he'll probably apply it to alsa's CVS, maybe someone else will modify this patch, and when included in linux' main tree, only the merge information would appear.
Funny:) However Apple has some sort of warranty stating that if they upgrade what you bought, less than 3 (or 1, don't remember) monthes after you bought it, then you'll get a free upgrade.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com> (04/01/23 1.1474.119.7) ia64: Drop copyright notices on header files which are either entirely trivial or ended up being trivial variations of another file. Fix some missing attributions and rephrase existing attributions for specifity.
(this comes from 2.6 tree, it must have been backported to 2.4 a little later).
Which changes a bit the meaning of the shortened log.
Well, we're not required to take the transmission out of gear - at least not in France. When I learnt driving that's what was taught to me, but I think it's just a prevention thing, just in case you slip on the clutch, maybe.
As for automatic transmission, that's really unusual here - about 1% of the cars have such a transmission - I'm personnaly happy about it because that's the most funny part of driving:)
You've got an application that has nearly exclusive access to the disk, and may not be interested in giving it up.
MacOS before OS X worked a bit like that (not for the disk, but for the CPU). It was called "cooperative multitasking" and the applications' developers had to put calls to yield() (approximate, I don't remember) here and there in their code. That's the reason why holding the mouse button down on a menu stopped the rest of the machine (Clock stopped blinking, for example).
Now that would be great. I'm tired of seeing sooo much Visual* and MS* shit in jobs descriptions when I look for one. I'd really like if Europe was 100% Unixes:)
The difference is, would it have been the other way, people could wonder whether Apple has copied code from Rhythmbox. But Rhythmbox came after, and we're quite sure they didn't get some code from iTunes.
Also, clones are very common in the software world, not only from open-source developers. Every good idea has been copied over and over.
I guess it has to happen to everyone spending lots of time starring at the same distance. Ie, looking at a monitor for a few hours a day.
I started with computers at 9, now 24 and it's my job. I usually spend 8-12 hours a day in front of my computer. I can see the square of the pixel on my LCD, but can't read the licence plate of the car 30 meters in front of me.
Just got some glasses and I now see the outer world differently. (no glasses vision still good to avoid seeing ugly people in town;-))
OR you could do RAID 5, have striping and rotating parity, have 300GB of available space and be protected against a single drive failure.
Thanks for the information complement. I don't enough about RAID to be sure about RAID 2-5 configurations:)

Especially if you have old or weird hardware, e.g. an Aureal sound card.
Looks like you're asking for it. While you're at it, why don't you use some sort of Winmodem as the communication channel of your cluster's nodes?
If IBM was REALLY committed to LINUX then they would offer a PowerPC based THINKPAD that came with Linux installed.
They could name it iPad. Sounds great, doesn't it ?
"I" for IBM, of course.

Of course, I meant O(n^3) and O(n).
Please give me a call the day our compilers will be able to transform some poor O(3) algorithm into a nice O(1). I'm very interested.
Compiler can optimise lots of stuff, but certainly not the programmer's logic.
Or at least provide some kind of '#define STOP_VM_SWAPPING_STUPIDITY' so that I can disable it.

Ok, but do they get a blowjob too?

Well, at first Hubble isn't on earth :)
Not even counting the fact that moons do rotate around their planets.

ioperm(2) isn't for disk reads, but rather for accessing memory slots.
And why, oh why, must Anonymous Coward have to act as if it knew about stuff, without even trying to google said stuff?

1. It did not run on cheap hardware.
At the time Windows 3.x and MacOS 6 were around, peecees weren't commodity, "cheap" hardware. They did cost a lot too.
Now that would be great. I'm tired of seeing sooo much Visual* and MS* shit in jobs descriptions when I look for one. I'd really like if Europe was 100% Unixes :)

well, some people have kids quite soon. Simple math, 45 - 20 - 20 > 0, that's quite plausible.
