Yeah, it's pretty much the behavior I get out of/etc/init.d/net.ethX stop|start|restart...
Except that cardmgr automatically stops and starts eth1 (Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA) when it's removed/inserted. Without breaking eth0.
Gentoo doesn't have major versions beyond system profile releases (2004.1, 2004.2, etc).
And uh, if a user wants his own version of Perl he can damn well unpack a source.tgz and build it himself with the PREFIX setting available in pretty much every autoconfigure/automake system around these days.
BlueGene/L has some neat solutions to those problems. The interconnects are done in a 3-dimensional torus where each processor communicates (over a custom bus) with those around it in 6 directions. Memory is on the same card as the processors. 16 processor cards (with 4 processors on each one) make up one board. The boards are mounted sixteen to a frame, two frames to a rack (2048 CPUs per rack) and talk to each other and the storage system over GigE.
Only for now. BlueGene/L has 70 teraflops while still under construction. When finished, as TFA said, it'll do 360.
I know one of the guys working on this, he said the architecture can scale to 4 million processors before it becomes inefficient.
No, it only takes up a room. I've seen the earlier model at IBM's TJ Watson lab in Yorktown, NY (dad works there). They have a few racks with processors and then a few more racks for storage (tape robots!). But each of the processor racks holds 2048 CPUs.
Well, that's assuming there's someone actually shooting at you. When our troops don't have people shooting at them they start shooting the Canadians and elementary schools in New Jersey.
Or try driving in New York. The city itself is pretty manageable, only problem is traffic.
The suburbs are horrid. Way too many cars going way too fast on roads that were never designed for the amount of traffic that's going on them due to the population boom here.
Try negotiating an on-ramp to US-9 that has a STOP sign instead of yield, and then a 50-yard merge lane into 65+ MPH heavy traffic.
You're joking, right?
I have an IBM P3 box downstairs that's been chugging along (with the help of various upgrades) since the late 90s. It's a solid piece of work.
Yeah, you kind of write all your configuration yourself to tell it what compile options you want and what features you want built in and what you don't want.
What about people using RC versions? Or kernel sources patched by distribution vendors that have a dozen things in the extra version (linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r11, etc.)
Tornado sirens, sounds interesting.
If you figure it out, let me know, so I can activate the alert sirens for our local nuke plant. Now THAT would scare people.
I think AT&T figured out that going from TDMA 850 to GSM 1900 was a mistake and is now changing over to GSM 850 because I've noticed improved coverage in a couple spots over the last few months.
And I know T-Mobile doesn't use 850.. I used to have a T-Mobile account and the reception was crap. Dunno if that's because they use 1900 and have some of the towers spaced wrong or if it's because of the funky situation in the NY market, but I was surprised by the difference when I went to AWE from T-Mobile.

...like iMacs?
They make CowboyNeal dolls?
One really pissed off telecom industry. Oops.

I thought Li-Ion batteries weren't affected by the so-called "memory effect".
If I had mod points I'd put you at +5 funny for that.
Troll??? The mods must be smoking crack again...

Icons? I don't have any icons on my desktop.
It's because the passive fiber splitters they're using are capable of 622Mbit downstream and 155Mbit upstream on a given wavelength.

Oh great, you just said it. Now they're going to shut /. down for being terrorists.
Not really, because GBP is worth around 1.5USD these days.
In New York, we call that a "move to the suburbs".
I wouldn't call six years an old box.

This is why you don't use KDE or GNOME. They're massive compiles and hog resources. Fluxbox for all!
