They claim that the first bottleneck is actually flow control of buffers, which prevents utilizing full network bandwidth in normal gigabit connections. The threads will help only after this first bottleneck has been cleared. They have patches to fix both problems. The slashdot summary was therefore a bit inaccurate, and reading TFA certainly helps.
This is hilarious!
Try
googling for the phrase "I would recomend checking out PriceRitePhoto.com" and you can see that the same review message has been copied verbatim to many review sites, with the mispelling and all!
No realli! She was karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo
dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
Besides,/dev/random probably uses some good cryptographic hash function (MD5 or SHA-1) internally to distill random bits from less random sources. And as anyone who has RTFA knows, both of them are broken;-)
(I know, I know, even if they are subject to collisions does not mean that they are bad PRNGs... except if someone finds a really clever way to manipulate the entropy sources used by/dev/random...)
Traditional explanations of quantum mechanics have two basic concepts: the "evolution of the wave function" and "collapse of the wave function".
Evolution of the wave function
Can be verified experimentally
Affirms that something that very closely resembles many-worlds interpretation exits at least for a short period of time
Collapse of wave function
Cannot be verified experimentally even in principle (at least, according to current theory)
Is indistinguishable from having the experimenter part of the wave function evolution
Is only needed to limit the number of possible states of the world
In contrast the many-worlds interpretation only has one rule (the first) but produces identical results. In effect, you could replace the second rule with a giant unicorn that controls the collapse, and still get identical results.
Occam's razor, anyone?
Don't bother with the experiment. But I can recommend the book "Fabric of Reality", it was quite an eye-opener for me!
It was also once supposed to be safe. But it has been shown to be linked to cancer, acid rain and soil erosion. But unlike DDT or asbestos, DHMO is still in wide use, even in dairy industry!

Are you sure it is such a good idea to post this on front page of /.?

No language comparison is complete without Intercal.
Exactly. The correct term for this is Sldahost efcfet
