    What, do you think they just jumped from 3 to 7? Give me a break. NO ONE refers to it as 3 anymore. Because there was a 3 back on the Nintendo... not popular, but it exists.

  5. Pray Debian doesn't get more popular! on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    All it takes is a determined hacker to poison your DNS, add bogus upgrades to his machine, and you've been r00ted without any indication. Sure it may be as easy as Windows Update, but don't think that it's a "better" solution. Same old, same old. I guess it all comes down to trust - I trust the Deb guys more than Microsoft, that's for sure!

    But do not become complacent!

  6. I know... and my question is on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    when the HELL are people going to start pushing Linus, Alan, and BK to embrace things like the MACL patches in SELinux, and ACL support in ext3? I mean, it's not like the material isn't out there to use, and it could really help in unifying that gap, using Samba as a mediator. Samba on Solaris is actually a better deal for interoperating with Windows or replacing servers because of the POSIX ACL support, and built-in LDAP integration (Linux has it too, but it's not pushed in documentation).

  7. What you are thinking of... on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    is not NIS or NIS+, but a well-designed LDAP architecture.

    Is it no surprise that ActiveDirectory is based directly on LDAP (and still bears many resemblances protocol-wise?).

    ActiveDirectory is LDAP with tight integration into NTLM-style protocols, (useful) management GUIs and tools, and a bit of Microsoft embrance-n-extend.

    It is very powerful, but it's not like the same can't already be done with the alternative. Microsoft has made it more accessible (and guaranteed an upgrade path).

  8. There's plenty to both love and hate... on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    about Windows and Linux. I've used them both enough to finally sort of find a happy medium. It helps when you start collecting computers at work or home.

    BSD is just starting to inch into the picture, as is OSX. Oh boy, I don't think you can solve a 4 body problem with a closed solution.

    damn.

  16. If you have 4GB of RAM on 4Gb CF Card Announced · · Score: 1

    Sure there's some overhead involved in mapping physical pages to virtual pages, but you ALWAYS have that overhead anyway. In fact, having a full 4GB of RAM is probably your best case scenario in terms of user vs. system page availability. The only trouble is that you will lose 1/2GB due to the PCI addressing hole and a few other "wasted" addresses, but your overall memory utility is optimal before switching to PAE.

    This is why you see these systems saying they support 3.5GB of RAM, when really you're plopping in 4x1 GB DDR and saying to hell with it.

  17. Initial format... on 4Gb CF Card Announced · · Score: 1

    If the original image is (virtually) lossless as a HQ JPEG, then you can convert it from JPEG to a lossless format during the editing process off the camera.

    You wouldn't keep it in that format after you dump it off the camera and start making changes; it's just useful to get more shots in the field.

    BTW, you don't want quad opteron with AGP, AGP just wastes a hypertransport and makes it all assymetrical. Maybe once they up the HT clock.

  19. Don't fool yourself into thinking... on Sun Microsystems, SuSE Link Up To Sell Linux · · Score: 1

    your SCSI or FC-AL disks are magically connected to the crossbar. They have to go through the PCI bus, just like the rest of the joes around these parts.

  22. I'm suggesting... on There Is No Single Instant In Time · · Score: 1

    There weren't any instances to begin with. You can record a time to within a degree of certainty.

    This has always been a limitation. Whether anyone really believed you could say "It is exactly 1 o clock right now" is foolish. Simultaneity isn't real either, as time is always effected by your reference frame.

    So there is no "right now", so I don't see how even contemplating an exact instant itself is useful!

    I always consider time of occurance an approximation, and his instance fuzziness work doesn't really specify a scale, and I submit it's pretty damn small (sub-room-temperature-instrument detectable).

    I mean, is he claiming time when used as a physical dimension is subject to same limitation as quantum spatial dimensions when compared to the abstract, rate-based-notion of time? Well congratulations!!!! You're the FIRST person to think of THAT!

    Maybe scientists who don't work in those fields need to be reminded of the inherit uncertainty in all physical parameters (time included), but this guy is not Einstein (because then I'm Bose)

  23. Except, according to quantum physics... on There Is No Single Instant In Time · · Score: 1

    there aren't an infinite number of points between A&B, there's at least as many as there are planck-lengths distant and there's an upper limit involving the number of possible configurations of the object's quantum state within that time. You could enumerate all of them, then figure out how long it takes to pass through a subset, and there you are with a finite rate, in a rough, slipshod, roundabout way.

  24. The act of reading the clock... on There Is No Single Instant In Time · · Score: 1

    when recording the beginning of the event has the lower limit of when your eyes take notice of the readout plus or minus a variation due to reaction-time delay. The act of reading the time also requires both tolerances and has a beginning and end. We can keep regressing, if you like. ^_^

  25. I'm suggesting... on Required Tools for PC Repair? · · Score: 1

    that there exist editions of Office and XP which are "declawed" and only require a specific type of product code. Smart weenies modify the setup.inf files to automate the entry of said volume licensing code on the boot image so you don't have to be present during the install, to run the keygen or type in anything otherwise.

    Wheee!
