That being said, LinuxHA has solved the problem where one NFS server goes down, and another serving the same files to take it's place for several years.
The paid driver for the van is quite a bit more than that, however.

The 3Com Saga
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Are you being sarcastic? Most built-in ethernet controllers use 3com chipsets, and all that's done for me is make my life a LOT easier to deal with, because you only have to really worry about 3 chipsets after that: a builtin 3com, a builtin intel (though they seem to be appearing less and less frequently now) and maybe the tulip driver for netgears for 3-4 year old PCs.
Don't forget the Realtek chips - 90% of the motherboards I've bought have them built in.
There's one used parts listing service that 90% of used parts places use. While some of them are linked together, chances you are actually searching different databases.
No. I'm making a juvenile expansion on the parent comment along the lines of grep|finger|mount|fsck
Heh, that reminds me of a time when I was doing some work on my computer in the terminal, and accidentally typed "mount/booty" instead of "mount/boot." Needless to say, a couple of non-tech-savvy friends (who happened to be looking over my shoulder at the time) were very curious as to what kind of relationship I had with my computer.
This would enable handicap people to control machines, not vice-versa.
Isn't that basicaly what the Matrix is, at least half of it? Humans controlled their virtual beings inside the machines. The only difference is that the machines also presented an alternate view of reality, which this technology would not do (though there is work on that as well, especially for the blind/deaf/etc.).
When the headphone jack on my Fujitsu Lifebook P-2046 wore out, I called regular tech support and they transferred me, with no hassle, to the parts department. The part I needed was about $4, so I decided to order two of them since I use the headphone jack frequently. Though they sent me the wrong part (line out & in jacks instead of headphone jack), they quickly overnighted the correct part to me and told me to keep the incorrect parts since it was their mistake, so now I have extra of those jacks as well. This was on a computer about four months past the end of the warranty.
I can always pick out a website that delivering Java content by the number of times I keep on moving my mouse to ensure my system's still responding.
Do you mean Java applets? They are the bane of anyone trying to promote Java as a good language. Most of that time that you're waiting is for your system to load the Java VM, which only has to happen once per program execution.
If more people would use the SWT libraries (part of the Eclipse project) instead of the crappy AWT/Swing libraries, then this misconception would go away. SWT works by mapping everything to native OS widgets if possible, giving it the look, feel, and speed of a native app. I used Eclipse for quite a while before finding out that it is almost 100% pure Java (other than the JNI code necessary for the native calls).
I think anyone who has done much work with either developing or running large scale java programs knows that speed can definitely be an issue.
I would consider myself part of that "anyone," and I disagree with you. Other than load times (which aren't as bad as they used to be), Java can perform as fast or faster than C code. The main thing is to use a good VM - IBM's J9 VM significantly outperforms Sun's.
I can't get to the article because of the slashdotting, so can anybody tell me which Java VMs were used in this test? A friend of mine did a study for a supercomputing course in which he found that IBM's J9 Java VM significantly outperformed Sun's JVM.

You now know what the next war will be about.
Bacon?
For that matter, when's the last time you bought a 21" CRT?

Wow, that's a long time needed to fix a server.
Uhh... I think you have your terms mixed up. The defendant in this case is Bryant. The plaintiff is the girl.

Could I get one of those nanofactories installed in my flying car?
where missing something would land me in court and not the boss.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather end up landing in court than landing in the boss.
Like, say, the Pentagon? Anywhere you put a gathering of people working on a military project, you create a target.
That's absurd. You could also say that office workers are at a higher risk because of the WTC bombings.
Do I smell another visit to the DoJ?
That depends on the [s]election in November.
Hmm... I'm more a pepsi fan myself. I guess I'll stay with Linux.
Don't you mean nuculur weapons?

Yes, we now have the white massive dudes in our possession.

It's about time someone kicked Sun's arse hard enough...
IBM?
