Linux is good on the embeded system. It is a pain to get started but once you got it, it really makes a difference. Now then the BSD folk are like why isn't BDS on the embeded system why linux. I really don't know when, when we were designing the system I work on, we all said we will use Linux on it. Management said ok and 3 years later we are getting it ready to ship.
Is linux good, sure it does the job. Is there anytihng out there that is better? I really don't care cause no matter what I do choose linux, or Operating System XXXX I won't make any more money. End result, if you want people to hack you equipment put linux. If not put something wierd and ship it and most probably not too many wil touch it.

This guy is full of himself. He found a cow and is milking it. He has no new ideas, and in the end wants to make money. All his ideas lacked some sort of technical / interesting point. As said before he is nothing new. So he made a shit load of money, but that doesn't make him interesting. He is selling a concept that people are willing to buy. That is great but another interesting is that this guys is full of hot air. But if he has an idea I think all of you slashdot readers should start taking this idea up and check it out. Man hard drives vs. optical discs.... what is he thinking. -A0
Wow that is really cool I think I will need to do that. I have used verizon and I keep calling them up and keep telling them that they keep overcharging me with the phone calls and dropped calls. And they keep trying to fix things up.
thanks for the info.

All these new ways of encrypting data over wireless is great. Security of data is a good service. But how much will it cost, do you need more expensive hardware to create such encryption, will there be a loss of performance and other related factors. These are important and must be tested before we start saying that wap2 is the world's greatest thing for wireless encryption.
Rutgers University has many proffessors and all of them usually when they are at the Busch Campus center eating lunch talk about a lot of interesting things. Like all things interesting, there is an assumption made and that is if the message is time independent then it is ok for it to take so long to send such a message. But I am sure this whole thing was based on an idea somebody had during lunch.
But most of all if there was life out there they are most probably laughing at us becasue we seem to have a tendency to keep killing our own kind and destry the planet we live on. In short the guys at SETI are _looking_ for life, not communicating with it. Supposedly they sent out a message on the frequecy of the vibration of a hydrogen nucleus, so if the inhabitants on a certain planet knew and saw such a wierd spike they may think there maybe life out there. So then we have two people looking in the dark and not one. Also one more thing what would we do with all our unused CPU cycles on our overclocked, broadband connected computers when we are out....
Why does this happen I have noticed it, this is a journaling FS ( ext3). Ext3 was derived from SGI's XFS. I have seen this many times on ext3 and it reads the journal and yet it still after a year of usual server usage it goes out of sync and needs an fsck. What is going on ?
thanks take care

Yo man that is the best
This is good... you should right a book
"Come on, your country is run by a man who probably uses "12345" as the combination on his luggage (encrypted of course, with his Cap'n Crunch decoder ring)"
Walmart is more evil tham Microsoft. Be grateful that you are not living in the land of shoppers of Satan.:)
But yes there has to be a good distribution model for releasing these Linux boxes to the masses. I think there will be a day when people will not have real computers at home but some dumb client or... piece of hardware like a sun ray box at home where they log on and watch movies go on the interent, read email. All this through very fast networks, and so you don't have to buy a computer every 3 years..... And the server you log into run Linux... maybe that is the future..
Funny how Linux from Walmart which itself is a large corporation may help fight the software giant Microsoft is. How ironic where the revolution comes from.
I think what they want is to license digital broadcasts, and your set top cannot record it. Then if your set top can record it you can share it with other people.

ummm you should read the pdf each chip has 2 processors.
There is a nice figure on Page 17 ( of the document not the file )
So you know BG/L has 128*1024 Processors.
That is a lot, I don't think the Altix will keep up. PS There is too much overhead with the Itanium chips they have instruction sets for things that these guys will never use when they use the Altix.

i agree, wait for the patch that allows snort to crack this

This is not even news worthy, but good he is in good condition.
