I am 100% serious. Sun would have to pay ME $20 to even make a partition for it.
Solaris is only worth running on SPARCs (mostly because no other OS supports all the hardware). For the student to procure one, he has to be motivated to find on one ebay (where they command fair prices), but to be motivated to search out a decent box, they have to already had experience with one.
Where? At work, or in graduate studies if they're lucky.
But not the other way around. Until you can buy SPARCbooks or the low-end workstations for competative prices at CompUSA or NewEgg, it's NOT going to happen.
dual channel DDR in their workstations and small servers, they are NOT going to a good platform for CAD/CAM. Their hardware, while nice, is geared towards running Oracle and that's about it. (okay exaggeration, but you get the idea)
web server, ftp, database backend... so what else?
Signals processing, yeah, we got that. Works just fine. I mean seriously, what else is there that anyone cares about involving "uptime" besides web or app servers? Educate me.
Why did you ever agree to have a Times article done on you, especially when it ain't going in the A section.
Everything else might as well have been in the Post, if you know what I mean.
Sorry, chap, I hope you win your lawsuit. But don't you come around here flaming this forum. You should listen to yourself, you sound like a raving idiot who has very little self-esteem. I don't need to see your list of expenses and how you can pay for them, I honestly could care less.
Jesus fucking christ do they let any asswipe post to slashdot these days?
I have half a mind to ram an anal plug into your nostrils for spouting that shit. What the fuck is wrong with legal uses for p2p?!!! DO YOU WANT TO GO TO ASS-RAPE PRISON?
I can just see it now:
Hey pretty little one, what are you in here fo'?
Um, well::trembling:: I VIOLATED THE DMCA!!!

I think rotten.com got trolled. They got trolled to post an amusing email message that was written to get their attention, and probably wasn't sincere.
I don't know which situation is funnier... well, you know what I mean.
More specifically, Neo, through defeating and inadverting freeing Smith, took away his "purpose". He gives a quick speech about this to Neo before attempting to gang rape him. Smith is trying to return the favor, that is, he is attempting to make Neo irrelevant. Either he will 1) kill him, which was his original purpose he still holds on to, or 2) destroy the Matrix by converting all of its inhabitants into him, leaving Neo no one to free. He's taking this frustration that comes with his new freedom and directing it back on his liberator. How pathetic: he so desperately wanted out of the Matrix, and now that he's free he sees no other option but to remain there and make Neo suffer even moreso.
Poor thing. He's not coping very well without dogma, is he? And I like Smith... (well, I like Hugo Weaving, I think he's the best cast member).
When Smith and Neo got touchy-feely in the first movie, supposedly some part of Neo got into Smith, which removed his obedience programming (although if you remember in the first movie, he was already a bit of a loose cannon, think Morpheus prisoner scene).
It makes perfect sense that Neo, in return, gets some part of Smith (the machines), perhaps the ability to speak their "lanuage/protocol". It's manifesting itself in his ability to disrupt "real" machines.
He sounds legit. IE, he got this asset from a dot-com liquidation (won't say who, not allowed), and it has a HIGH reserve. Also said he didn't think anything would come of it, as he's never seen that sort of thing on ebay before, but he'd give it a shot.
you should use vorbis with advanced-options lowpass=#largenumber#, with 24-bit or 32-bit IEEE @ 48kKz input.
Set the lowpass to a number that represents your limit of human hearing (people bitch about that, so its configurable). Otherwise make it absurdly large.
Vorbis has gotten better too, that's why it's time to run that test again to see how the state of the art has advanced.
So many tech people get layed-off that there are people willing to work on projects for no compensation (or to secure a future position when the market turns around) just so they don't lose their edge.
More importantly recent versions of MATLAB JIT-compiles all the functions you run into a VM-bytecode-like thing, whereas Octave is a straight interpreter (AFAIK), so if you use a lot of recursive function calls or iterations and stuff.... heheh, you'll notice the difference right there.
Well, the author of the article is an idiot anyway, as PDL is basically a Perl interface to LAPACK. PDL is not a CAL, DE-solver, or anything like that.
that's something that might be better suited to implement through a QoS package. The code would be a nightmare to maintain (and consider that the primary implementations are written in python).
The crash command was not added so that people wouldn't have to figure out how to crash it. Rather, it was so that a system administrator or developer could get a chance to debug the system by working with the core dump of the OS (!). It crashed the system in a very specific way.
Why not allow a random person to futz with the system? Because the hackers will already know that any "anomolies" will be detected and the system rolled back. Plus, how will one determine who is hacking and who isn't? Moreover, if the effects of the hack are far reaching, it may also be prohibitively difficult to roll back the damage and not roll back the entire game and all players (who may not have even been involved, and thus get pissed when their time is wasted).

(well, I like Hugo Weaving, I think he's the best cast member).
...why exactly is Smith trying to kill Neo?
(this is an important plot point that I found most people didn't catch; it will be important in the final act)
When Smith and Neo got touchy-feely in the first movie, supposedly some part of Neo got into Smith, which removed his obedience programming (although if you remember in the first movie, he was already a bit of a loose cannon, think Morpheus prisoner scene).

somebody else besides my brother and I got it!

If you want it, be prepared to spend 6 figures.
I've got about 9 plushie penguins sitting on my desk (hint, that's how many Altus's we have running our nasty compute jobs)
I am QUITE CERTAIN this merger will mean even more gnarly Penguin configurations!
Sun better watch the hell out. (go ahead fanboys, flame away)
Call it what it is, moron. Not much else is better than MPEG4 right now, but they (meaning lots of groups) are trying.
They almost always do, especially when posted by ACs.
It's the new-type troll. Welcome to 2003.

is not a sandbox for new features, it's really just 8.2 (if you examine version numbers of the component software).
There aren't any big jumps, like gcc 2.96 to gcc 3.x.
I've been running it (on a laptop!) and it's dandy. Much better than 7 or 8, IMO.
Yeah, right here. The USA. I'm not kidding.

1) You get reminded that Radio Shack was once Tandy; more than a front for selling overpriced Compaqs and cables.
