  1. Re:This does seem a bit restrictive. on Australia's Largest ISP Redefines Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting
    A lot of virii and worms send email directly; therefore not using Telstra's mail servers. Therefore Telstra wouldn't even see the messages leaving the machine.

    Telstra are the ISP. They can see anything they want.

    # tcpdump -i eth0 dst port 25

  2. Gigantor on CMU Unveils Robot Hall Of Fame · · Score: 1

    Hundreds of posts already and no mention of Gigantor. That and the Robot from Lost in Space (Danger, Will Robinson!) are the top two from my 60s childhood. And, if they're going to class HAL as a robot, then what about the Daleks?

  3. Re:So...what books DO you all recommend? on Linux Clustering · · Score: 1
    For somebody who wants to learn about Linux clusters. I've played with Mosix and was impressed. What are good books and sources to learn about Linux Clusters?

    I built a trial cluster of 5 PIIs back in 2001 using the 1.0 release of OSCAR from the Open Cluster Group. Their documentation (and software) was pretty good back then. I followed up the trial with a for-real-use 20-node cluster of Athlons (since expanded to 32 nodes) using OSCAR 1.1, which is still going strong. I haven't looked at the latest OSCAR packages but they're now at 2.2.1 and the docs may be better yet.

  4. Re:Buncha horsepower... on Weta Prepares to Render LOTR: ROTK · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps they'll add some more work units to their setiathome stats?
