Now what would be funny would be: "You there! You're running Microsoft Word, aren't you? You have two weeks to convert this to SSH, or we're shutting you down!"
I think we all know it's a ridiculously HUGE mistake to underestimate the importance of cypersecurity. Whoever is responsible for "not paying enough attention" to it needs to be outright fired... We're talking about every classified document in existence being at risk. Frankly i don't blame him a bit for quitting. I think it's ridiculous to blame the problem on the bush administration because i think we all know that's not the case, but obviously someone needs to get their act together....
The worst part about this is that it's hard to know what to comment. It really sucks and there's nothing anyone can do about it... It's always sad when stuff like this happens...esp for no reason. It was foggy and a truck changed lanes into them....
uhm....they said right in the article that the soviet was aerodynamically designed to look just like the US shuttle. The Soviets didn't even want the US to look like they were any better....
Not really... Supply and demand say that the price will go down... That's the way it works for EVERYTHING. LCD's aren't going to be some special case... and dropping the price will not make them lose anything. Those things are so stinkin overpriced compared to what they cost to produce that even a 50% price cut would still turn a pretty high profit...
You're looking at huge upsides also though. THink about the fact that when a security hole is found...there is usually a fix/patch for it within a two days....or less. Not to mention with the vast amounts of people working on the code...security holes and bugs usually get found and fixed on the code side of things before anyone from the outside finds them.
When you compare the two markets, there is honestly very little difference in the security of general open source software and general closed source software. Honestly it seems like holes are found more often in software that is closed...
Well, mine failed less when i DIDNT shut down. i had it up for a month once and it was fine. mine started acting like an idiot when i started shutting down nightly. (i move into my own apt and had to pay the electric bill. 400w P/S != good electric bill...)
Since SP2, the driver support has gone kapoot or something and about 30% of the time i have to reboot now because my vid card goes nuts and gets the refresh rate all wrong or something of that nature... I'm in that "should i just drop it altogether" stage....
oh, and as far as patriotic goes...you're an idiot. people like you are the reason there are so many anti-american americans. If people don't like the country they need to deal with it or shut the heck up and get out. No one is forcing anyone to live in the US. I'd like to personally 2x4 slap everyone who is anti-american who lives in the US. I say inject patriotism into everything students do in school. Show them how amazing this country really is, and they'll love it.
lol, it's funny you should say that... Parts of California have recently instituted muslim week. Students come to school dressed in muslim garb and practice islam for a week. Funny how if it was "Christian week" or Judaist week, or heck, morman week, the people in california would riot in the streets.... *slaps the ACLU*
the key isn't really removing them from the schools, the idea is that if there is one, ALL should be equally recognized... Same goes for political views. The thing that makes people hate is that they get one view shoved down their throat and no chance to view the alternative side. It's going to make you love or hate something...
The point is that by making it more complex and adding capabilities to it such as audio or physics processing which has been discussed before, you're going to have to add a lot of things to the chips... A CPU is incapable of such "speed" because it has to do so many different things and the development is MUCH more tedious.
If you add all these capabilities to a GPU, you're going to slow down the development in a large way and slow progress as a whole...
sure it can be done, but the game developers looking for something really fast will be left waiting for the stuff to come out that can run their software...
Of course when you're playing and get hit in the back you'll have to be careful to when you whip around so you don't get whiplash...;-) Of course at least some gamers will be getting SOME exercise while playing games.:-P
...It almost looks like someone spent an hour making a website and 20 minutes in photoshop and went live with it. Sorta neat lookin' but hardly decent/. material...(IMHO of course)
The difference is that linux clusters aren't really designed for supercomputing... more of distributed computing. Cray specializes in it. Of course they're going to come out on top....

touche' you may be right...but you may be wrong. He wouldn't have quit if things like that were as secure as you think they are...
ssh is not a bad thing :)

Not really sure. I've tried about 15 different driver versions and even some 3rd party productions (ie. omega) to no avail. I've got a Ti4800SE...

This is one of the funniest things i've ever read on slashdot
...Afterwards it took me over an hour to unscrew the side of my case to get my nose out...
lol i guess so :-P

Sure it's 40 gflops...but it's 40gflops of instructions that do very few much simpler tasks. 6gflops by a CPU is a completely different story...
What laws exactly is this breaking?
you obviously took this post WAY too seriously ;-)

This is reminding me of those SCO funded "independant studies" on the source code that was "stolen".... pathetic
This get's modded insightful? Sounds more like a sarcasting whip from an intellectually and socially inept chimpanzee
lol, you prove my point. we could debate this all, all day. but it's kinda....pointless
