I can't say enough positive things about the Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition. It regularly dips below $50 and motherboards are nearly as cheap. It has two cores that share a huge 3 MB of L3 cache and 1.5 MB of dedicated L2 cache per core. But, it does not have hyperthreading, but even in heavy workloads or multiple VMs, my observation is that hyperthreading is a paper tiger. I use these processors for both Linux and Windows workloads.
If you need graphic performance you should consider an external graphics card. This reduces the memory bus load. Any cheap "mid-range" graphics cards from three years ago are faster than any of today's built-in graphics.
This just isn't correct. Solaris on x86 still has the most complete and robust implementation of pthreads and the best symmetric multiprocessing support.
However, now that the kids are moving projects to Nodejs, there's not much need for pthreads in the open-source community, so nobody cares.
Blowfish is a solid cipher. I'm disappointed that I have to compile my own OpenSSH builds now with it re-enabled. What a silly joke this 7.0 release is going to be.
We seriously need to update Dropbear or some other SSH implementation to make this world better than it currently is.
While blowfish-cbc is going away, which uses Cipher Block Chaining mode, I find it a little strange that OpenSSH does not offer the more secure blowfish-cfb, blowfish-ecb, or blowfish-ofb ciphers. They're certainly in OpenSSL, though blowfish in CTR mode is curiously not present in OpenSSL.
Frankly, why not offer CFB, ECB, OFB, and CTR modes for all ciphers that support it?
OpenSSL does have a permissive license, but several of the algorithms are inappropriately and probably illegally included in that "license" because they aren't legitimate implementations, like IDEA, RC4 (arcfour), and RC6.
We have a viable alternative. It's called NSS from Mozilla, and it's free of all patent encumberments that have plagued LibreSSL/OpenSSL/SSLeay to this day. It also offers FIPS compliance.
1) All income is taxed at some point. 401(k) is taxed later at a lower rate. 2) 401k is based on investment earnings 3) If you have a well diversified selection, what goes down, must come back up
Another predictable answer from a holier-than-thou, American-bashing Slashdot reader. Seriously, retirement plans really aren't that hard to understand.
Wow. I have colleagues who routinely borrow from their 401(k) accounts to buy exotic performance cars and things like that. Their 401(k) retirement accounts are doing just fine, thank you, thanks to financial literacy.
Anyone who doesn't bother to understand how a 401(k) works deserves the penalties they get. The US education system needs to teach this as a part of their required curriculum NOW.
I don't think Fujitsu, Texas Instruments, Atmel, or Cypress Semi would agree with you on the opulence of the SPARC architecture. It has had a very vibrant community of licensors for a long time. The hyperSPARC, TurboSPARC, and SPARC64 VI aren't even Sun products, to name a few.
I'm perplexed by your problem. Every toner cartridge I have ever bought, both OEM and off-brand clones, have been shipped with prepaid return labels to ship the spent cartridge back to be recycled. The off-brand clones really want them since they're going to refurbish and refill them, anyway.
These stories always happen during the adolescence of the development lifecycle of expensive airframes. It happened with the Osprey, the F-15, and even the F-16, arguably the most successful of the affordable fighters.
The F-35 will evolve into a competent fighter as they always do. We really don't want different fighters for each branch of the military anymore.
Even though the Volt degraded into a disappointing electromotive hybrid with engine assistance while still being far in advance of the Toyota HSG, it took least one billion dollars of research before GM went bankrupt. Hopefully, GM can recoup some of those lost dollars with the Bolt and give us the electric vehicle we were promised with the Volt, but this time, it will have no petroleum engine.
There's this rumor that when Yahoo expanded its Lockport "chicken coop" data centers in upstate NY they vacated at least two large data centers in Northern VA and because the lease isn't up for another two years they have been mostly empty ever since.

I'll just offer this fully-supported, Windows 64-bit build here:

Acer owns the brand for the past several years and the computers are actually pretty good.
The laptops are very affordable, it's their value brand, with Acer the high value brand.
Not great, but not terrible, either.
I'm surprised such a non-story about a misconfigured email server makes it to the front page of /.
You're just doing it incorrectly.

This is nice, but what we need is the industry to fix, once and for all, the dead pixel/stuck pixel problem first.
With an attitude like this, there wouldn't even be electricity in rural America.

It's called Cryptography.
There's nothing really new here.
Cryptography.
Yup. EBC or CTR mode (which OpenSSH doesn't bother to enable) eliminate most of those security worries.

Paraphrasing a downvoted-to-oblivion comment:
You don't need to know much more:
1) All income is taxed at some point. 401(k) is taxed later at a lower rate.
2) 401k is based on investment earnings
3) If you have a well diversified selection, what goes down, must come back up

The solution? Find a better toner supplier.

This is basically what the Volt should have been.

The Yarrow algorithm, or its progeny Fortuna, are not yet a thing?

Sorry, but on the AOL and Lotus Notes platforms, the deletion was compulsory. You cannot read an unsent message on AOL or Lotus Notes.
AOL had the "unsend" feature decades ago, which actually "unsended" emails after they were sent.
So did Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Exchange.
This "feature" is a 30-second delay on outbound messages, a clever hack, but how is this news to anyone?
It's the "beer goggles" extension re-warmed for clueless Gmail users as it graduates out of Gmail Labs.
Feh.
Try harder, Google. Try harder.

Yet, Yahoo is saving lots of money by doing this.
