    Only if I could get a beowulf cluster of X43-A's.

  2. Re:Device Manager on Pitfalls and Options For Business-Desktop Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is sysfs and libsysfs with namedev parts of the udev/hotplug system. Desktops are (or should be) building in support for HAL and D-BUS. libsysfs provides a generic interface querying library for sysfs, which has information on devices. Namedev allows you to independently name devices in correlation to a unique serial id, and base device file creation off that with udev. Hotplug acts as a metigator for event notification with the kernel allowing for device detection. HAL and D-BUS are freedesktop projects, HAL a backend for allowing a more uniform presentation of hardware to graphical enviroments, and D-BUS for interprocess communication. The udev system is already real technology, integration of HAL and D-BUS into your favorite Window Manager/DE, assuming you use one should take several months or longer.

  4. When will these be merged? on RT Linux Patches · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do you all think these will be merged and ready before 2.6.9 is released?

  5. Re:What If.... on Telecom Outages Now a State Secret · · Score: 1

    This is not even possible in the "what if" world. If Bush were a democrat, in his nature he would not consider doing this; assuming 9/11 even would even occur.

  6. Re:Honest Opinion? on FreeBSD 5.3-BETA5 Available · · Score: 1

    I do not know how a FreeBSD BETA 4 release became into, "everyone point out the merits of FreeBSD over Linux systems, regardless if they are true" fest. It should be stated that netcrafts uptime benchmarks are unsubstantiated, there are many Linux systems that are up that are not on the Internet. Until 2.5 and above vanilla kernels Linux's uptime could not exceed 497 days; even still later 2.5 kernels according to Netcraft can not be judged correctly. Uptimes values can be faked, and benchmarks such as this are not very relevent and do not judge availibility. (the ability for the site to serve) It even says on Netcrafts website... http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/accuracy.html According to netcrafts site, it can not find valid uptimes for. Quoting... Linux before kernel version 2.1 Linux on Alpha and IA64 processors Linux on Intel x86 processor from kernel version 2.5.25

  7. Re:Encryption Circumvention Devices? on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    Recently in an article in Scientific American (can't remember what month, though its there), there was an article talking about DRM and how IBM is trying to integrate it, with Linux. Mod's this is not "funny" and should be modded "insightful"

  8. Good, though already outdated on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It should be stated that the gcc c++ abi for 3.4 series is incompatible with later versions.
