9v won't last long enough I want it to run a 12v car battery, but still be able to fit in my shirt pocket!!!
Actaully I got a 20GB iPod and a single charge can last all day at work, unless I mount plug it in the USB port on the machine at work to transfer files. Then it may not last the walk home. If my desktop at work only had a firewire port then I could have it charge all day, or better yet, have iTunes play the songs on my iPod. Eventhough iTunes won't let you copy the songs off your iPod you can play them. It's not just an MP3 player it's a portable music library!
The writer may have mistyped, since they mentioned $150k for a similar size Exchange environment, which seems large to me. Second, considering that the mainframe environment only cost them $24k I would think that it was for an existing mainframe environment, which is probably running other business application. They probably used some free MIPS for the mail server and setup a VM guest for mail. They may not be mentioning the other applications because they may be running in OS/390 or some other type of VM guest. Also if the mainframe was existing, they would already have a support structure in place.
Amen, brother. I would rather we switched to metric than go IPv6. After that we could create a standard mobile phone network. Is it just me or does it seem that we (USA) are not keeping up? Perhaps we are too busy trying lead the parade to realize that the party has gone elsewhere.

I guess my "problem" is that in college I didn't take any computer classes, instead I got my BS in biological research, minor in chemistry. Yet I'm a professional computer geek, i.e. IT consultant, and a damn good one if you ask my bosses. If you think about it too much blood will come shooting out your ears.
As Lewis Black has said, "If it weren't for my horse, I would not have spent that year in college."
I believe this would work similar to the sterilization programs used with screwworms, a fly which likes to deposit it's larva in living tissue rather than decaying matter (e.g. housefly). In the screw worms the adult stage has only one purpose, reproduce, and they only do it once. So once a female fly has mated with a male fly it will deposit it's eggs and die. If it mated with a sterile male fly the eggs are not viable. So in order to control the population, release sterile male flies that would mate with the females, which would lay infertile eggs. Thereby reducing the number of larvae.

I don't know about you, but they taught us both, metric and english, in school. Of course they spent more time on the english system, probably because it's so confusing. 8 fluid ounces in a cup, 2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon. 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile. 16 oz. in a pound, 2000 lb. in a ton. And don't forget that water freezes at 32 F and boils at 212 F.
And if that wasn't enough, the teachers would torture us with problems like, how many inches in 1/3 mile. Or how many fluid ounces in 10 gallons. Or how many pounds is 125 oz. And no calculators were allowed. Maybe that is why there are so many lunatics out there. Their brains have been fried by the British Engineering System.

I sail a Star boat(www.starclass.org) and this one-design class has used a flexible rig since the 1930s. The mast is extremly long and thin and tapers at the tip. The running backstays have both an upper and lower attachment and each is a adjustable so that one can change the shape of the mast changing the tension of the stays. There is also a rammer which allows one to move the mast fore/aft in the step.
Another thing is the sail needs to be cut correctly because in a situation in which one increases the bend of the mast during a heavy air condition could lead to increased fullness, which is the opposite of what one wants in heavy air. The Star main is shaped such that when the mast is bent back, most/all tension on the upper backstay. the main is "flat". As one shifts the tension from the upper to the lower, the sail is pulled in a way that increase the fullness of the main, which is better in light wind conditions. But I'm sure Mr. Dryden has thought of this.

The PowerPC series of processors is a descendent of the POWER series. A big distinguishing charateristic of the PowerPC vs. POWER series is that the PowerPC is always a single core on chip implementation. However the POWER series, esp. the POWER4, can be/is a multi core implementation on a single chip. Which makes the POWER series better but more expensive, thus great for servers. For more information I would check out Motorola & IBM's site. Here is a piece of info from IBM on the history of the PowerPC project.
As of July 2001 IIS only represented ~25% of the web servers on the Internet. So even if Code Red achieved 100% infection (highly unlikely), about 3/4 of the web would be untouched. Explain to me how this would cause the Internet to cease to exist.
Besides, don't think of it as a virus, but rather "natural selection" in the digital world:)
Actually it wouldn't come out that way since fecal matter is only the waste from the digestive process. Anything in your blood would be filtered out by your kidneys. Just be sure to drink plenty of fluids and call me in the morning:)
There already is a LVM in Linux (built in 2.4 or higher, patch for other versions). But if you are looking for IBM's LVM then I believe this is what you would be looking for...
Next thing to do is merge all the blades into a single machine, so that you can dynamically delgate resources to users. Then you have... dare I say... a mainframe. But Mr. Gates said the mainframe was dead.
Well he's wrong, the 'frame is coming back...
No if they could just build an OS that has mainframe uptime, just imagine what a wonderful world that would be.
"This new manufacturing technique will be used to produce future generations of the IBM POWER4"
The POWER4 is not a PowerPC processor, but they are related. The best way to define the two, POWER and PowerPC, is...
POWER - A RISC Architecture developed by IBM.
PowerPC - A single chip implementation of the POWER architecture developed jointly by IBM, Motorola, and Apple.
The POWER4 will be a 4 chips on a single die. Each chip in the POWER4 will consist of 2 processing cores with a shared L2 cache. Speed between cores in a chip will be >100 GB/s. Speed between chips will be >500 MHz (>35 GB/s).
Heck I eat carbon everytime I cook;P Seriously though about the supply of fuel for hydrogen engines. I do remember reading an article once (ca. 1990) about storing fuel for a rotary hydrogen engine in a metal hydride form (MHx) which, if I remember from chemistry, is not flammable. However if you mixed it with water you produce MOH and H2(g). I think in the particular article the hydride of choice was MgH2. So there was this container about the size of a regular gas tank, and since the fuel is solid (denser than liquid gasoline or pressurized gas) you could store alot of fuel and I think they mentioned that a full tank could last months - years (??) of "average" driving. That seems to be a very long time, but I thought that's what the article said. Also the engine was not a fuel cell but rather a hydrogen rotary engine (internal combustion).
One of the major philisophies behind Linx/OSM is giving the people a choice. I have tried both KDE and GNOME. As of now, GNOME impresses me more (I like the versatilitiy of GNOME), but that doesn't mean I hate KDE. On the contrary, I think it's an excellent desktop environment, I just like GNOME more, that's all. So to each his/her own and best of luck to GNOME and KDE.
