Seems like we're trending towards multiple everything recently.. multicore CPUs, SLI.. how long before this propagates to everything?
As a sys admin, I love the prospect of redundancy, but are there any benefits to bringing this multiplicity to anything else from a consumers perspective? Or does it stop here?
Forget WiFi, you could have quite a bit of fun with something like this over a WiMAX connection..
I know I would enjoy sending my robot out around town with a video camera and two way voice communications allowing me to talk through it to people and respond and everything;)
Another factor, the study says 88% said windows was equal or better - but how many said it was better versus equal? And were they given an option between the two?
More importantly, how many people said linux was better versus people that said windows was better...
This post seems suspiciously void of those kind of common-sense numbers.
Pay 4 bucks to park 24 hours, sit in your comfortable car with a laptop, and game it up on a free network... if only wireless didnt completely and totally suck for gaming:D
I would wager that 58% of users know someone who is a "computer person" who, in their routine of cleaning all their friends' and family's boxes from spyware/adware, also deleted tracking cookies.
Running cool during use?
It seems to me they'll need the power management to keep it from melting itself, judging from the heat output of just one of those beasts...
The odd thing is... it will be quite impossible to prove or disprove this either way for... quite a long time.
At least until a space cruise ship christened the "Titanic" gets too close to that blackish.. hole-ish thing while taking a shortcut, in about a thousand years.
Troll?! How exactly? While i know its fashionable to bash our capitalist economy on slashdot, the vast majority of people well educated in economics agree that this *is* the most efficient way of "doing things". Free market is what we base a lot of our principles on, and companies *should* be able to offer whatever they want to offer.
Most of us have our choice of DSL providers: Vote with your wallet, if you want naked dsl, go with Speakeasy's One service, which caters to that need.
The only crime here is that CABLE (not dsl) is allowed to monopolize geographical reasons, which effectively locks consumers in to one choice. That is completely and totally against free market principles.
I'm sorry if i didnt go along with the mainstream and bash all that is business, but use your brain for a second... troll?
Except of course, the opportunity cost of your time.
I am working on two different business plans at this moment that have NO startup costs because of open source software.
Granted, they are both development projects, however they are both quite viable businesses, and all they require is the spare time of a few dedicated developers after they get home from their "Real" jobs.
This is a legitimate application of free market principles. They should be able to offer us whatever they want to offer us.
Since you can get DSL by any provider, there is no issue here.
The issue is with cable, and only being able to recieve that from one provider (in most areas).
That is where the law needs to change.
Thats funny... doesnt excitement usually occur because of vibrating, not the other way around? And if this is true, could be devise some sort of perpetual excitement/vibration motion device involving women and 'nanoelectromechanical resonators'? Or perhaps a beowulf cluster of the aforementioned....

More than likely it will just end up with me getting ganked at 135.3 Teraflops:/

At least corpse runs should be faster....

It's unfortunate that this probably wont make up for (in the general public's eyes) the previous mars rover's failures.
If only the rest of the public held the majority view of slashdot (but only in this case... in general that would be SCARY).
A month or up front? If up front, what is the monthly cost? With numbers like that, it almost seems like they could make money off of offering it...
What is surprising is that such a l33t cr3w used powerpoint for their presentation :/

How on EARTH could you forget the 400 "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!"?

That's not something you see very often, usually its a landslide one direction or the other, depending on who did (or didn't) pay for the study.
From my experience, this seems to be fairly accurate (as far as company's interpretations). Can anyone else back that up?
I would too, in fact, I can definitely see making moving decisions in the future based on whether or not wifi is freely available in the municipality.
I just hope this isnt something we look back on and say, "I really wish that ended up working."
Lets all do a parking lot lan party!

...Ruby is getting a new optimized bytecode compiler for its upcoming 2.0 release. Will Ruby on Rails become even faster as a result?
I would assume so, doesn't optimized usually mean faster?
They should have just used photoshop! (haha)

There's a good idea.

1. Post unfinished thesis on slashdot for us to review
2. Incorporate feedback from users who read it
3. Profit!!!
Only problem is.... I dont think anyone is going to want to read it, especially not on a monday morning
Not if you want support from Red Hat, it's not.
That to me sums it up. The *only* reason i can think of to go with Red Hat is if you need the support. Other than that.. what are the benefits?

Has anyone ever encountered any pleasant forking action? This google image search is leading nowhere... perhaps safesearch needs to be off?
Oh man, I *so* wanna put Windows HPC on this thing!

No worries, i just figured i should make my first slashdot post a flame, to keep with tradition or something... Good post btw, very informative :)
