One of the best things about Gentoo for me (the performance difference was negligble) besides portage, was the bootstrapping process. I know it took forever, but you actually are learning more about linux. Redhat (my first *nix) hid everything, and slackware (my second love) gave me a little more access. Only gentoo allowed me to see (and attempt to understand) a true view of the install.
Polygraphs attempt to measure a physiological response to lying. This line of research is attempting to measure brain activity, which is a whole level "above" a physical reaction. Right now their are a plethora of flaws with measuring physiological reactions (I really enjoyed the book http://antipolygraph.org/lie-behind-the-lie-detect or.pdf)
Alhtough this research is still in its earliest stages, it is definetly promising. Although, this eventually (in a very long time) evolving into near mind reading does scare me.
Why are they building a phone w/ a three megapixel digital camera, when I still can't get a decent basic cell, that's small and has a weeks worth of battery per charge.
Just to clarify, this is a project for my High School. They are upgrading the network infrastructure, and I work with the tech-ed department through an internship class. I just wanted to make sure this was reasnoble, before I suggested it to my own bosses.
All though this seems lke a good idea on paper, I know that starbucks uses wifi networks. I was wondering if anyone a lot smarter than me could comment on the security of this. A hacker could pay for a song, and sniff it being transmitted on the network simaltaneusly. He would then have a clear copy of the data when it was given to him, and an encrypted, letting him use some cryptoanalysis tools to figure out how the songs are encrypted. Any idea on the plausibility of this?
Seriously, when was the last time anyone really used realplayer? Its almost impossible to find the free version of their software on the website, so there market share dropped tremondously. Furthermore, their software is so bloated and resource hungry, that their software is all but useless. Admittadly, 5 years ago it was cool, but now there are several better alternatives, especially with the advent of winamp 5.
I wonder if a 64 bit OS will make any performance difference for the average desktop user. Since its not like any normal people have more than a gig of ram anyways. Is it possible that it could even slow down 32 bit apps?
not only does my ISP block port 135, it also blocks all ICMP packets, making monitoring my connection, and diagnosing problems difficult. Furthermore, I called and asked to opt-out, but the tech guy I got said he couldn't. (My ISP is wide open west)

It's 6gigs of RAM per each of the 500+ blades. that's over 3 terabytes of RAM total
