It has to heat itself to... cool... itself? Goddamnit, I hate recursion.
Yes because if it wasn't heating it wouldn't need to be cooled. This is great, I wonder why it hadn't been developed earlier. Depending on the CPU and the dissipation created by the heatsink the fan doesn't need to go more than 2500rpm.

nice..way to copy the schick vs gillete analogy regarding the number of blades on your shaver. Originality has completely disappeared on/. Except it's a completely bad analogy because increasing the number of cores has an economic advantage whereas increasing the # of blades to cut your ass hairs does not.

It's only a proof of concept similar to a concept car. We already have quotes from both hpcsystems and microway for the 32 core system since AMD is scheduled to start shipping the 835x cores in April (pricing has been set). You need to think twice before accusing people of hating.

Ethics In IT

"There's no such thing as business ethics. There are only ethics, you either have them or you don't."
Most states in India have no pollution control or "EPA" mandated CFC limits. In major metropolises there is so much smog such that almost all my friends who went to visit came back with temporary bronchitis. One of my friends almost died because she had trouble breathing after a few days (and you don't want to end up in an Indian hospital no matter how expensive, look for "nursing homes"). If you travel about and come back later in the evening your fingers/neck/face other un-covered areas of your body will be covered with soot.
What India and the world needs is better/cheaper/faster public transportation. It really reduces traffic and increases throughput in the long run.
I can't believe I'm reading this. In what field do researchers pay to have their research published? I demand you inform me, as it runs contrary to everything I've ever seen
The culprit journals are in the biomedical sciences and are the top ranked journals: Nature, Cell, Science. Slightly less ranked journals charge less. What I don't understand is why the biomedical science community keeps paying these scumbags.
As Long as Apple has this locked down business model of all hardware and software needing to be Apple, I'll never bite (or afford to be able to bite).
Today one of my users was asking some setup questions about his Lenovo laptop (running Gutsy Gibbon) and wanting to run VMware to run Vista directly off his other partition. I was sold after he ran "sudo..." then swiped his finger across the biometric reader and was granted access. He said that he couldn't even get that to work under Vista but Ubuntu had no problems detecting it! Linux has come a long way and the only thing in it's path are companies like MSFT and AAPL who force hardware vendors to lock down their specs.
Wow, are you ever an elitist prick. I guarantee you almost everyone on Slashdot shops at Wal-Mart,

NFS write failure on Linux 2.4, check your data is gone.
Uhh no. In linux mv's always make sure the data moved then delete the original file (as far back as 2.4). You can test this by dd'ing a large file (use if=/dev/urandom), then run a md5sum on it, then do a mv within the same drive, over nfs, over samba/cifs, to floppy (not sure what happens here because linux caches writes to floppies until umount), to usb drive, whatever. While the mv is in operation just pull the plug on the system (target or source system). Your old file will still be there!
But he knows how much his expenses are. So, he makes a calculation. He needs X. His commission rate is Y. The total budget he needs is Z = X/Y
Z*Y = X. (Y being the a percentage, X being their kickback)
We have budget Z, and we need an offer". The people being called of course know what Y is, so they figure out they got Z-Y.
Replace "Z-Y" with "Z-X". Then your story makes more mathematical sense.
Regardless of all this, the only reason this works is because of the underdevelopment in Nigera. That "corrupt" government official probably has a large family to support. Those people need money, they need to feed their families, buy medicines, give them clothes, a roof over their heads, and possibly an education. The last thing that they care about *right now* is OSS and freedom of source code and open standards and all this other stuff we have time to give a crap about in countries that read/. with gigabit connections. MSFT is just winning short term battles on the desktop but they can't win the internet or control the flow of information.
Then, the government starts to squeeze on the businesses. Then on the home users. And the vendor keeps profiting.
Wrong. When their country gets to a stage in their development where they have laws that give 2cents about software licenses and software piracy, the population will realize, hey wait a minute we actually have great options that are "free". Why should we pay for software when we can get it for "free" and have the same functionality?
The Z-X equation exists in first and third world countries but it's more prevalent in countries where there are no laws to punish such behavior (e.g. nigeria and probably most other African countries). Look into Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
If there are two automount maps that point to the same location but are under two different automount directories then the one that most recently is put into the netinfo fstab is operational, but not both.
auto.root1: foobar server:/foo/bar
auto.root2: foobar server:/foo/bar
if you stick auto.root2 into netinfo after auto.root1 then only the automount for auto.root2 will work, i.e. cd/root1/foobar doens't work but cd/root2/foobar does. This works fine on linux and irix and probably other "posix" OS's. Hope this is fixed in leopard, it was already reported to apple. It's a very annoying bug.
