A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
EveryDNS is more like the "custom DNS" feature in DynDNS which uses their servers to provide nameservers for your own domain. DynDNS's custom DNS service is $30/year if you aren't hosting with them, while EveryDNS is/was free.
ThatIP only charges $10/year for the same "custom DNS", and now started doing dedicated ipv6 nameservers too!
I've long been immensely frustrated that you can't get kernel-space ZFS (sorry FUSE) compiled into a Linux kernel because of inane licensing issues*....
Well it is a good thing FreeBSD does not have a restrictive license like that. FreeBSD 8.0 will have ZFS with zpool 13, and here is how to use it.
* UID is a prime number. (no wouldn't get it myself, i'm a couple of digits off) * Has been moderated (-1 troll) more than 5 times * " " Flamebait " " etc
Python has the Global Interpreter Lock, which means even though there are threads, they don't execute concurrently. Too bad if your server has several processors / cores.
My fuel cap actually has a locking mechanism built into it. Stick in the key, and spin. I would have to give the robot my keys before we could start this experiment.
I have been watching PGCluster and Postgres-R as well. It shouldn't be too long before there is an open and reliable alternative to the "big features" of the commercial databases.
Actually it is a WARF subsidiary now called WiCell. Nonprofit licenses for research are extremely cheap, a couple hundred dollars. Commercializing the research is another story.
In addition, what current work is being done on Multi-Master replication? Something more reliable/recoverable than a circle/star with the auto_increment_offset?
Large corporation bashing aside, Active Directory and Oracle clusters do this very nicely, with low replication traffic volume. Is there any chance this feature will be added and improved upon in Mysql?
The best students in the world go to the best Universities in the world. The Universities in the United States consistently dominate the top universities in the world.[1] Thus, it isn't surprising that many people from other countries come here to study.

Cisco does own it. You are wrong.

... so it's like a series of tubes, right?
Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) said that, not Bush.
From http://www.mono-project.com/Scripting_With_Mono
The early results of switching showed that there was a 50 to 150 times performance increase in switching from LSL/interpreted to LSL/Mono.
They have decided that the scripting language is far superior to Jav... er, C# and .NET.
The Second Life scripting language compiles to run on the CLR. Second Life has embedded mono in their client.

I was looking forward to seeing Mr. Craig shoot some guns, drive some fast cars, and flirt with some girls.
People could start by documenting their data in standardized formats, like DDI 3.
and in other news, my sister is going to do this? good luck with that.

Actually using it right now to post, doesn't really seem like a dead idea from here!

Any others?
I like it, how about UID can fit in a 16bit uint?
Does anyone know what size features the chip was etched at? um? nm? That might give a clue how close it is to being used in other products.
The memristors made in April were 50 nm wide
Cryptography: Unique in computing in that it is a field where the so-called experts, really are experts
--modified from Jack Handy
We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the security experts. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.
Bring a Brita!! :)
Java is slow?

With this new hardware, will be able to run vim with some colors for syntax highlighting? :)
Yes, there was/is an amnesty. It applies at least to machines that had Windows pre-installed.
