Yes they are. Logic gates run slower as temperature increases. The max clock rate you can run a chip at all else being ideal would be the the amount of time it takes the circuit path with the most gates to "stablize", that is produce a constant and correct output for its input. So if you have overclocked, or even possibly if you havent, that longest path may work fine at first but as the chip heats up due to running time or load cause it to fail. The gates all get slower, being the longest path has the most gates and is impacted most takes to long to stabilize and when its output is "read" as imput to the next logic circuit it has the wrong value and well from there anything could happen really.
Not to mention they pay him to do something usefull not wonder around takeing pictures and writing a web blog. I don't work on Wendsday afternoon, which is why I am posting on slashdot, if I were at the office I would be working, probably writing some mantainance script or screeming at a SQL server but not posting to slashdot, not wondering the grounds taking pictures. When I am at work I am WORKING, I would fire him too.
"Even if these numbers are too large, this still makes you think about how inefficient our cars are."
I say its the prehistoric plants that were inefficent, afterall many of them are extinct meaning they were unfit for life on earth and it takes for friggin tons of them just to produce the energy to move a car one mile. 4 tons, if something has to be that big(and or dense) to power one car for one mile its really inefficent weight wise.
Wait, this is just XP with some probably broken new control panel applets, some crazy bitmaps wraped around the IE window and a gray/slate version of thier baby's first computer desktop theme. They can't possibly have the new features of longhorn in this build like the fancy new file system or anything like that, no way its not done yet if it was even close the RTM date on longhorn would be Q1 2004 not 3 years from now.
upgrade gnome to 2.4 (I have 1.4)- Nah 1.4 is better new kde (I still have 2.2) -- why use KDE? new XFree (I have 4.2.0) new xfce -Yes sweet as all hell do this today!! new kernel -you could upgrade gtk -you need to
yea see the intersting thing there is Mandrake as they often do was using a patched kernel with some less then total tested packet writing patch that had never been in the Linus kernel, so think about sueing them, instead. MDK sux0rs
Yea, every been to a hospital there skippy. See all that monitoring equipment must have a know worst case packet delivery frequency, while there are other methods like token over ethernet, token-ring/FDDI is by far the best way. No token is not often used for lans where 90% of the users just want to access the Exchange server anymore but its not gone in the time critical world of monitoring and manufacturing control at all. Sounds like you need to revisit your telecommunications corse.
One of my best firends is female and a body builder and I say with no shame she could slap me to the ground and most guys I know. I am sure in fact she could slap you to the ground as you must have to be quite a small man to post as an A/C and feel the need to boast how he can slap around girls. Seccond why in the Hell would you make fun of someone because of their name? Its not like they in most cases chose it, and its not like it really says anything about them. Its also makes no sense for her to turn down a successful guy she also likes, because its going to make her full name sound silly, geez what does it matter any way, even if your name was Hairy Dick, its not like you ever use the two together except when siging things. Who care for crying out loud there are plenty of better things to make fun of people for besides irrelevent crap like names. I imagine you could find reasons to make fun of Linus or Tove that are much more creative and valid if you were the least bit intelligent.
Well, I have seen tar crash but that was a hardware problem and an entirely different story. We need to MOD PARENT UP here on this one guys. Developing Microsofts cross platform.net support for them is a waste of our communities time. If.net is to be a total success it will have to be cross platform. It will need to work on embeded devices many of which already run Linux or *BSD, those that don't often run some other preprietary OS that is still not WINCE. A large part of the eventual market for.net will be ubiquitous(SP?) computing and that means small embeded devices. The other markets like apple/big *NIX need to be met as well. There is no reason to do this for them. Especially when the MUST eventually do it. Do you Mono developers really think M$ is gonna let you distribute fully compatible development tools(where the money is to be made) for there next big cash cow? HELL NO, they will let Mono hang around to encorage people to use.net because it will work cross platform when they have the time to develop their own ports they will and at that same moment break compatibility with Mono so they can charge for the ports. Even if they don't outright break compatibility you will see an embrace and extend situation where the best you can ever do is play catch up. Take.net and develop a free answer to it not an implementation of it. All the Free[insert favorite commercial product here] stuff is what gives OSS a bad name, and leads to legal trouble. The most successful projects have been those that found a market nich and filled it. Take GIMP its a really great image processing tool, yet its not "Free Photo Shop" it sure compeets feature for feature with Adobe products thought but it is its own animal. So develop Mono but make it totally incompatible with.net but still cross platform. That is the smart thing to do.
A smarter startup process would be good, perhaps a binary one could really save some time over shell scrips(I doubt this, Most boxen these days are so fast even the most complicated bash scripts for init you can imagine take no time to parse and execute). He plans to use python which is still an interperated languge and not much faster then bash for simple stuff. Still why reqire X and GDM and python and app of the month. Why not wirte a nice little C program with a GUI interface to configure it if you must but make sure it can be configured from the command line or config file as well. I don't see what real advantage in going graphical and therfore more fragile in the init process offers. I don't care if your grandmom or Sysadmin if the console messages had like two modes friendly and verbose everone could be happy. Imagine if it was just like, Friendly mode:
Starting Priniting support Starting Sound support Printing is ready Starting Webserver Webserver Ready Sound support Ready
you get the idea. If init needs replaceing there are lots of ways to do it and make something everyone can use, for all types of systems heavy server through desktop. I usually don't advocate one size fits all solutions but if your going to start writing custom extensions to deamons that call "services"/init to do stuff I want those apps to work on my desktop so I can experiment with them as well as the server in the back room, that means init needs to be compatible. A separte system for desktops is a BAD idea IMHO.
It is, however, nice to know that IBM's fire-breathing legion of IP lawyers is on the side of the GPL." --They are on the side of the GPL THIS TIME.
IBM and every other company for the most part does what ever is best for them at the time. If in a later case it is useful and reasonably possible for them to overturn the precedent set in this case they will in a heart beat and take the GPL down with it. Don't get to cocky and happy here folks IP law and IP law suits are *bad* for *everyone*

SCO's Plan Examined
·
· Score: 1
"SCO convinced Ren that SCO owned the root of the entire UNIX tree, and that Linux was just one branch of that tree."
How was SCO able to do that? I mean there is documentation that proves Linux started out more the 10 years ago with one guy Linus, who has NO ACCESS to the CLOSED SOURCE UNIX tree. How could anyone be convinced it's possible that Linux could be a fork of the existing tree?
One copy protected Compact Disk, no CDDA spec $14.95 One Forgiving CD player or resonable quality $105.99 One Stero RCA to mini stero patch cord $2.95 Not haveing to listen to shitty 128kbps WMA rips priceless.
I went to school there for a semester you can walk right up and touch it. Actually they shine light through it at night which is the "Projector" effect and it casts the characters on the surrounding class room buildings.
His concern is that people are wedded to thier architecture by the fact they can't run the software they have on anything else. Linux users could switch easily to any archietecure they can compile and update the kernel to support. There is already a wide variety of non-intel platforms supported. It takes away intels ability to leverage the upgrade cycle to make profits, if I don't like intels new pricing I can but PPC chips from IBM.
I have talked allot with the guy who manages the pipes and the big cool HPUX boxen at school. There is a good reason. P2P would soak the bankwidth right up, slowing down the MORE IMPORTANT traffic like web, telnet, news, etc. The idea is to provide everyone with a good experience on the network. Someone doing reseach should have a highly responsive web, you downloading the mp3z are gonna be waiting anyway so you may as well wait longer. That is how traffic shaping should be used. ISPs should do the same espicially if the other option is download caps. Now they should do what our network admin Greg does as well, and turn off the traffic shapeing between say 12:30AM-3:30AM where there are few web users and let everyone else who left the machine on over night to get a download get it, so its ready waiting for them in the morning. It's really a great system that is fair to everyone.
Yep great plan. Lets see I have a well trusted and for the most part well respected brand name. Perfect business plan is then: 1. Change product name to something few have head about.
Slashdot Mirror
Add according to the article so does IE, or were you speaking of a differnet Plato?
"Are overclocked CPUs more sensitive to heat"
Yes they are. Logic gates run slower as temperature increases.
