Maybe this will put to bed all those critics who say that GSM is a "minor" technology in the US compared to CDMA--between Cingular, AT&T, and T-Mobile, GSM makes up the overwhelming majority of cell service in the US.
At first I was hoping that SCO would be quickly wiped from the face of the earth, but now I'm beginning to enjoy watching them slowly hang themselves. Otherwise, what would we have to read on Slashdot and Groklaw? Cheers, SCO, here's wishing you a long slow decline (much like your stock price), as your attorneys suck the money out of your coffers, and the shareholder lawsuits pile up...a quick death is too good for you guys.
I don't know if this scales up properly, but 2.3 Ghz is 15% faster than the 2Ghz machines--x 1100, that increases their 10.3 teraflop system up to 15.45 teras, which should handily beat number 2's HP system at 13.9 teraflops. Even if it doesn't scale, it should get pretty darn close to no. 2.
Reminds me of the way MS pays their billion dollar judgements, by 'paying out' with virtual copies of Office and XP at retail prices. Or by 'paying out' with MS software to educational institutions, as a way to settle their monopoly on the education market. Costs nothing, extends and embraces.
Would have been a lot more impressive if he had fit a G5 mobo in there...not completely impossible, if you recall the iCube. At the very least, he could have run a Ximian GUI on linux, that would have at least a passing resemblance to the Mac OS. Anyone manage to run Darwin on anything, BTW?
The author points out that it is in "the public domain", which I take to be different than a GPL or open source program. Anyone care to clarify the difference here, in terms of the author's intentions? ie. why did he not GPL or otherwise copyright this program?
Given that Novell thinks Unix is their property, thus making SCO's case completely moot, why are they taking such a passive role in all this? If someone claimed ownership over your IP, wouldn't it be reasonable to initiate some kind of legal action against that party? (I know, more lawyers). Yet, the best Novell seems to be coming up with here is "We disagree with SCO's interpretation of the contract". WTF? Or are they waiting for SCO to sue them? Which will never happen, as SCO knows full well that would open up all kinds of questions relating to the first case.

Doh! That should be 11.85 T's. Still pretty fast anyways. That's what you get for being an arts major :-)

who had been caught, you wouldn't have heard a word of this story. Carmine Caridi's a nobody who they can string up and make an example of.
transmission, here it is: "pssssssssssss..."
