So in other words, this is just an experimental research facility with possible long-term finds that may impact the future direction of interneworking.
To rebuild the internet is insane. To slowly change the direction we are building it is more likely.
You forget that most of the world are geek-wanabees and not IT/technical folk. They are geared towards the 85% majority of the folk who like tech who are not non-technical vs. the 15% of us who "walk-the-walk", so to speak..
Slashdot: Rumors for nerds, something to impress your friends with!
Seriously though, remember the original Google Talk rumors and how they were debunked? Now this? What about the Google Earth rumors? What about a Google Browser (which hasn't happened, but the newest Google Desktop is mighty close...)
Also - the previous story had to do with viral marketing and Serenity - now this comes along. Perhaps Google is doing a bit of viral marketing of their own? I wonder how many "Google Rumors" have been posted here, debunked here, and then later, after release, had an article here saying "It's true!!!!"
It should be relatively easy to predict - this is a niche market. Always has been, even when Macintosh was PPC. Now that the major marketer for these chips is gone, the remaining market will still be what it was - a niche segment. Add into that the relatively low market share of Linux and I think we are all literate enough to read the writing on the wall.
AMD/Intel are too cheap, too powerful, and too prevelant.
OK, gdb and kdb are the only debuggers I know of - not to say there aren't more but these are the old standards. Take a gander here for more information. There is too much to go over in a post.
Well,/var/log/messages is a good place to start. Check your nfs/smb logs, and if all else fails, use a kernel debugger.
I think this is what you are asking, if not please clarify.
I'm waxing nostalgic for the good 'ol days of 1984, when cartoons were Japanese, cheap, and inventive, when toys were mass-marketed towards those clicks that like them.....
I was in a click in my elementary school - we were the Voltron Kids. We were enemies with the GI Joe guys, and I eventually became a traitor because I liked Thundercats and became friends with the Thundercats.
In reality, I could use less nostalgia and less crap in Hollywood. Transformers, Voltron - what's next, My Little Pony Strikes Back???
In other news, a new device called a "cellphone" was recently used in the bust of three columbian druglords. Apparently they were using the address book feature to store phone numbers of other drug lords and were using the "voice" features to network and make deals.
How does one go about "wiretapping" and busting such a multi-lingual and diverse group of folk who use "cellphones?"
Perhaps Sweden had better things to do with their police force, like arrest murderes, rapists, and real criminals. Not to say Movie Piracy is legal (morals aside), but the amount of manpower and resources this takes is absolutely ludicrous for the overall payoff.
It would be interesting to see how much money this saved the movie industry - errr, I mean cost the rest of us (i.e. taxpayers) to fund this joint venture.
Err, this is FUD I believe.
The network file system they use? Which filesystem would this be - nfs? smb? or are you talking about the older netware stuff? Modern Netware and SLES are as flexible network-wise as any other OS I've used.
NDS as an LDAP server - integrated eDirectory configuration tools (i.e. ConsoleOne) that allow you to enumerate your authentication server out as an LDAP tree for legacy programs. Not every OS has support for eDirectory - or ActiveDirectory - but eDirectory is damn near standards compliant for LDAP. Good luck acheiving this with ADS.
Pre-written GUI tools? I don't have words for the lunacy of this statement. EVERY OS IN THE WORLD SHIPS WITH PRE-WRITTEN GUI TOOLS.
Novell's own scripting language does suck. But since Netware 6 (at least) they've been shipping Perl. Now I know perl is not flexible or easy to use.. wait.. I'll just shutup now.
So it's OK to blacklist a little guy that has a misconfigured/hacked email server that is spitting out spam, but if a big fish does this, we should justify and make excuses for them??
This should be the rude awakening to AOL - clean up your act. Stop allowing spam to be sent, or your users might start getting peeved that their emails aren't getting through. Most rookies have been through this - how embarrassing for AOL to have to go through it to!;-)
Does it matter? You could come out with a new-fangled widget and say "How long until the stoners figure out a way to smoke pot out of this?"
Who cares??? It's primary use is, and probably will be for the forseeable future, sharing of indy music. Besides, since when has the RIAA shut down anything? Their M.O. is lawsuits, and you can't sue if there is no traffic going.
We may disclose personally identifiable information as provided for in the Cable Act when it is necessary to render, or conduct a legitimate business activity related to, the cable service or other services we provide to you. These kinds of disclosures typically involve billing and collections, administration, surveys, marketing, service delivery and customization, maintenance and operations, and fraud prevention, for example.
Is theft a kind of fraud? Fraudulent use of stolen goods??? I don't know, but I bet the court lands on the side of the RIAA and Comcast.
RAID 0 is not the most reliable thing in the world. Couple that with the unreliability of SATA (yes, I work in a Validation Lab and we go through dozens of these a day) you would *NEVER NEVER* want SATA in RAID 0 storing anything valuable. Swap, sure, but never data!
That said, we test dozens of SATA raid controllers as well. The best performer in my experience has been the 3Ware 9500-8. Does it have many advanced features? How many people who will be using SATA raid really NEED those advanced features?
When you are dealing with Red Tape, you cannot just say "We want a new telescope" because the answer is "What is wrong with your current telescope? It sees the universe just fine, right?"
So, you say your current telescope is old and you need a budget for something new and bigger and better, technology progresses, right?
What we can infer is that NASA has something else they want to put up that, if they "rescued" the Hubble, would cut into the budget for their new thing they want to put up.
Their relay might be different than what is used internally as well.
One additional point of interest from TFA - "The bureau is in the process of switching its e-mail accounts, officials said."
Does this mean that they are converting their systems over to something new or just those compromised email servers? They probably had help on the inside (of the hosting company)...
It already has. I once worked for Measurecast (now owned by Arbitron, the folks who bring you metrics of how many listeners are tuned into a specific terrestrial station or online stream). Back in 2000, there were online streams that easily equaled popular terrestrial stations in metro areas.
Fast forward to 2005 where broadband penetration into homes has quadrupled and EVERYONE listens to streaming radio at work. Then again, I'll bet that during the commute, double those numbers listen to the radio. Which is longer, the work day or drive-time?
Overall I'd say that ALL terrestrial radio stations combine out-do internet stations. Take the most popular stream metrics and compare those to your local favorite radio station. I'd bet the intenet destroys it (unless you live in a large metro area with more than a couple million people.)
Check out http://www.emerging.com/research/measurecast_index.shtml and see the numbers for yourself for online streams.
Short answer : yes.
Long answer : The code is Free means the code is Free. The code is released under the LGPL. If you can't look at the code and figure it out, what does it really matter anyway? On top of this, if you are involved in a large project with many developers chances are your organization will pay for it.
The API is well documented in more places than just their pay-per-book service.
It sounds like Bill Gates may be infested with SpyWare, a typical memetic programming that took place in the 1950's in which everyone who was not a right-wing-christian-gun-loving-American was a communist.
It sounds like it's causing his PR ability to crash. Should we help him out and format him and put linux on him? (Wait.. Put linux on him, linux is Tux, the mental image that is coming to mind is... DISTURBING!!!! ACK REBOOT REBOOT!)
Were you using a pre-release or beta? These things can happen. I have been using Gentoo exclusively on both my server and main system. I have not had one broken package or dependancy - ever. (Unless I added something outside of portage and did not remember I had done this, user error NOT gentoo error). This makes me wonder whether in your case portage had incorrect deps listed or whether the user forced an install without allowing the correct deps to be resolved?
No, but you must give them a little credit for at least trying. Maybe they will use these chips in vehicles to help them mine the moon.:-)
Let's say we are both in business. I steal a product from you, and though it is a bit behind yours technologically, it is still a viable product. Now, let's fast-forward 3 years. I'm still trying to clone your latest-and-greatest chip while you have in R&D a new design that I will, yet again, have to clone.
It *may* reduce the profits of local MIPS chips, but it will always be a step-behind the "real" designs. (At least it says they are trying to follow the patent laws, which we know many Chinese companies really haven't cared much about in the past..)

I'm sorry, but I seriously doubt your claim that there are more PowerPC's than x86 chips. x86 has been around since the 8086 days.
Do you have any proof to back up this claim?
It should be relatively easy to predict - this is a niche market. Always has been, even when Macintosh was PPC. Now that the major marketer for these chips is gone, the remaining market will still be what it was - a niche segment.

Now THAT'S a dream i wish I hadn't woken up from..!!
No, I'm using the Freedom definition.. That's... (shudder) FRENCH!!! :-p
