Two million does sound impressive. Congratulations, Wikipedia. But how does this compare to other encyclopedias? Does anyone have numbers for Britannica or World Book?
I just hate it when I find out the "Internet Service" I was paying for doesn't actually include everything the Internet can offer. If companies want to sell "Internet Service" they shouldn't be allowed to block servers. Call it "Web Service" or something that shows you can't do anything with your Internet connection.
Take a look at ATA over Ethernet. You can use your existing Ethernet (or the secondary ports if you have them) and get what is essentially SAN storage. I would recommend getting an external box like a Coraid, but you could build your own with the vblade software. I would just recommend using as many physical disks as possible and stripe them so you can get some acceptable performance. You can even use a clustered file system like Red Hat GFS on them.
It took me about six hours a few weeks ago. I bought a new Dell Optiplex 320n to replace an old homebrew P3 box. Most of the time was trying to get in initial install on the box. After that, I just dumped/restored my old environment onto the new hardware.
Try booting with a USB drive for a network install. Doesn't work because the b44 driver isn't available.
Pull optical drive from old computer and try CD install.
Restart install with pci=nomsi option so SATA works.
Restart install to use LILO because GRUB doesn't work
Install hard drive from previous system and start dumping and restoring to the new disk.
Install i686 kernel so I can boot to my old environment.
Boot to my old environment running on new hardware.
One of the things that bothered me about the NBC report is that the college told reporters about the errors, but the report said nothing about the college trying to fix the errors.
Your TiVo Series 1 will work just fine as long as you're using the guide data to record everything. Sure, the time it displays will be wrong for three weeks, but it will record everything just like it did. All of the guide data is in GMT so your season passes don't need to be updated. Did you even RTFA?
In fact, the best compromise is probably simply not to write code in XML, but pick one of the better alternative formats and convert to XML after editing. So what do you suggest for "better alternative formats?"
If innovators work on a project alone, they have to work really hard to get people to pay attention to their work. If there is a contest at which the organizers are already taking care of the publicity, they have a better chance at turning their work onto better opportunities. All they have to do is make a good showing at the contest.
It would be pretty cool to run a laptop for hours on a gas engine, but will I be allowed to take it with me when I fly? I can't imagine that TSA is going to allow me a small quantity of flamible liquid so I can run my laptop on the plane. What about the emissions in a closed environment?
I was reading the Puzzle Palace by James Bamford a few weeks ago when I read about Project Shamrock. Coincidentally, it was just after G.W. Bush said they weren't spying on civilians and the country should trust them. The book quotes part of the ruling that ended Project Shamrock. It sounded very familiar to what the President was being accused of. Now with this filing, I'm quite sure the second generation of Project Shamrock happened.
I haven't seen a hit from this in a while, perhaps that effort didn't gain much traction. Who knows if this one will... I never saw Shrook mentioned on Slashdot.
I remember the party at Linux World when AMD announced their intent to design 64-bit extentions to the x86 architecture. I was working for SGI at the time. Only a few months after that we had prototype hardware with Itanium chips and were testing the heck out of it.
That's "Piece of History" pricing right there. It sounds like they need the cash in order to make it through to production of the full keyboard. So they took a prototype, sized it down to something they could afford to manufacture and finished the software they need to make it work. They can use this piece to test the market and work out any problems in their manufacturing process. Sounds like a really good move to me.
I've always watched NBC Nightly news at 6:30. When I moved from Maine to Minnesota, I started missing it because it's on at 5:30 Central time and I usually wouldn't get home in time. My solution was to go out and get a TiVo. I haven't missed the news since. Waiting three hours to download it off the Internet doesn't sound like a good alternative to me when I already have it on my TiVo when I get home.
I always hear about copy prevention. The media companies want to force technology on everyone to prevent copying. How about looking at this from another angle? Improve tracking technology. If Alice gives her digital copy of a movie to Bob who gives it to Charles, which eventually ends up with Zack, we should be able to see from Zack's copy that it started with Alice. They can add something to a P2P download client to watermark each movie download so when they do bust someone for illegal copying, they can track down where it started. Fair use copying wouldn't be interferred with and they can track down the real problem, the pirates.
Since the NYT already has everyone register they could try this model:
1. Allow everyone to read the headlines and first paragraph of all articles for free. 2. Sell "subscriptions" as they normally do for paper distribution, but for n days worth of news. 3. Allow the user to select the days that they will pay for the paper. Once they look over the headlines they can either go away or add that day's news to their subscription. Then they can go back and read that day's news as long as their account remains open.
I also saw the stray blue line while doing directions. I filed a problem report. Hopefully with enough data points they can figure it out. I noticed that it only appeared in two zoom factors.
First, we call it 512p. "p" as in Processor. X-way is an IBM term. We know they aren't SMP system, they are NUMA systems. SGI's NUMA isn't Non-Uniform, it's Near-Uniform.
Now, if you ever log into one of our Altix or Origin systems, you'll see all 512p available to you when you cat/proc/cpuinfo. You'll see them all in the boot messages. You can't address all of the nodes as separatesystems because they aren't separate systems. It's ONE system with 512 processors and direct access to ALL of the memory.
I'm really looking forward to getting and LCD for one reason and one reason alone. I won't have to try to get the screen square with all of the different geometry adjustments. I've never been able to get the sides of the screen straight on my CRT screens. I won't have to, heck I can't, mess with that on a LCD. (right?) If these new "thin CRTs" still require fiddling with the trapezoid and rhombus settings, count me out.

That's excellent news. If you want to learn more about OpenNMS and it's background, I highly recommend listening to FLOSS Weekly #15.

What else did you expect to hear out of a business school?
I was hoping to download just the audio so I could listen to it on the way to work today.
If anyone has just the audio track, please post it.

I know you guys can't spell, but if you could you would have been able to link to the right school. Clarkson University, www.clarkson.edu.

It's interesting to see that wikipedia already updated their entry.

This was the only book I bought and read in the last year. I think it was a great book and I wish I had it for a text book in college.
