I'm not going to have a pissing contest because we could probably go back and forth all day...but just one thing.
Du you just want to repeat some FUD about Sun, you heard somewhere? This was _not_ a bug I heard somewhere. I was one of the first people to ever get this bug. I ran 14 netra t105s, 25 ultraIIs and 4 220rs. All of them had the UltraIIi processor. Most of them were incredibly stable, until a cache error crept in. Then I'd find them at an OK prompt with nothing to say for themselves. I'd go digging and find something like "Transient Error CPU x" (that's not what it said, but those were some of the words) in messages. After explaing to the boss why the oracle/web/nfs server died in the middle of the night, I'd have to make a support call to sun (You know, those guys you pay an extraordinary amount of money to). Sun would give me the run around on the phone, then after a couple hours and talking to every "engineer" there, I was told it was a transient error, and it would only realistically happen once in a server's lifetime. Only later did I run across more people having the problems, and none of them were given a straight answer from sun. This, of course, shattered any confidence I had in Sun. Later, when McNealy actually acknowledged the problem, Sun earned some of my respect back. More: http://www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/hardwa re/story/0,10801,66102,00.html
BTW, regarding your BTW: BTW: There is so much broken with x86 hardware I paid for Sun hardware expecting the best out of either class. When I buy cheap x86 hardware, I'm prepared for the worst. However, when I buy a 3com905b, I know I'm getting a good qualitity card. When I buy a Cyrix, I'm prepared for the worst, I'm ready for a bug. When I buy a Sun, I assume the hardware has been tested and some engineers have poured their heart and soul into the designs of the unit. Now, I just purchase AMD and in the future I will probably try to get some IBM P720s to test.
Isn't UltraSPARC II Sun hardware, too?;-) I don't really know, sounds like you do. I know that the last sun I owned had it, and I loved it.
p.s. Sorry if it's all garbled, I haven't had any coffee yet.
Linux doesn't have a buggy awk, sed or tar. Solaris 8 does. Most x86 hardware doesn't suffer from the transient error bug that the non-ECC cache of the ultrasparcII processor. Linux works on parking meters. Solaris doesn't work out of the box with an A1000. Most quality nics work out of the box with linux. Most netras and ultras have to either be hardset or vice versa, and won't work the other way.
Don't get me wrong, I like sun hardware (Love LOM), but it and it's software are not perfect.
I used Azureus for about 28 seconds, then it started (1.7Ghz PentiumM 1024MB running minimal X/Gentoo) and I uninstalled it. Switched to apollon and never looked back.
The CPU is a specialized parser. They usually do a good job, and they are fast. Java's interpreter is slow, and is not optimized for speed, more like garbage collection or something else to help a programmer save 10% of their time.
When you code in java you trade speed of the app for the speed of the apps development.
If you don't want to distribute the source, use the BSD license.
I don't think there is enough ram in the current PS2. SA slows down enough when I got a lot of action going on, can't imagine what it'd be like if I was streaming audio.
Well I would have been 9. Anyway, I'm confident it was on PBS. We didn't have cable. I guess it's possible I could have been seeing the twin cities broadcasting, but we lived 240 miles from there.
It was on pbs. I grew up in the country, 30 miles from the nearest town. Cable was not available. We had an antenna, and we had to turn it in the direction of the station we wanted to watch, seriously.
Uhh, cause/dev/ROOT is an example, but the real name of your disk drive (hda, hdb, etc) there, followed by the partition that is root (1,2,3, etc). Your end result should be something like:/dev/hda2
Rhino owns it, right? BTW, saw the movie two weeks ago, laughed my a** off (This island earth). I bought volume 6 recently, nowhere near as entertaining. Anyone have a list of the good volumes and/or episodes? I remember watching it when I was little and it was on PBS on sunday mornings, but then it wasn't near as funny.
They'd have to filter TCP/IP. That's a _tremendous_ amount of resources for the upstream providers. Think of the boxes they will need to have on *every single* oc-3 (or whatever) they run.
(This is of course assuming you meant upstream bandwidth providers.)
IRL, blacklists operate by checking to see if the incoming smtp server is on a blacklist, and 90% of the time (pulled that out of my ass), this will be on the downstream providers caching server (if they are smart enough to have one).
Because mini-isps generally have their own legit cidr blocks. It also implies some type of permanence. These are the two things that keep spammers out of our hands: #1. They hide behind real isps cidrs, meaning we'd have to block that isps ip range to stop them, and most of the time they have legit users and this is bad. #2. Their ability to pick up and move about. They can move as soon as they are blocked, and are constantly pulling up roots and moving to the next provider that they can suck on for the next 60 days until they are kicked off.
This horse has been beaten to death, I hope the logic starts to kick in soon.
PS2 was released before XBOX. PS2 sold to people who had a PS. Xbox came out, some ps2 owners bought it, most did not because they already owned a good console. Most PS2 owners will not purchase an xbox. Halo2 is not available on ps2, and SA is not available on PS2. Most people will not purchase an Xbox and Halo2 ($200 additional dollars) if they already own a PS2.
I own both SA and Halo2, they are apples and oranges. SA is for those times when you want to play alone, Halo2 was primarily intended for multiplayer.
Obviously, Halo2 kicks the living snot out of SA in graphics and AI, but SA gets the crown for game longetivity and amount sold.

Oh yeah, guess all those security vulnerabilites listed on securityfocus are just bogus, eh? How about unpublished exploits? All those take care of too?
I've been meaning to read up on Tesla, I've read some, but nothing major. Forgive me for the newb question, but are there things that he did or use that we to this day still cannot replicate and/or explain? I've seen mentions of this, but nothing specific.
I would have attended this, if I would have known about it. Does anyone know of a place that has a list (not just spam, but short, sweet and to the point IT-related) of these types of conferences coming up?
Yes, the drivers are open source, outside of some firmware you need to download from intel after agreeing to the license. I will say too, these drivers rock. I've had amazing stability after.66 (They're on 1.02 or something now). Even in the case you don't use these, the ndiswrapper one was kinda stable.
Call one of us, if it were me, I'd gladdy spend time trying to get it on there. I'm not only one of those guys who is gratified by getting linux on some obscure pieces of hardware, I'm also one of those guys who'd be happy just to see someone else using linux. I've ran across a few guys, and we start chatting and all of a sudden I'm helping them get the mandrake they installed 1 year ago to to run right on their laptop.
I'm not trying to argue whether or not they can make money off the data, or even if they need the data in real time. Though I'm a my yahoo user (flights, etc), I don't use the finance area. I don't know what those people (people who do use finance.yahoo.com) expect, but I can tell you one thing:
There are people using finance.yahoo.com, and those people would be upset if their service/data was not there, corrupt, wrong or shutdown.
