So, the cpus have an ID. How does that make Internet commerce more secure? Can't you make your browser just lie about the number when it sends in your request?
I see how this identifys computers in case of theft, the police just run a program on your computer that checks the number.
But I don't see how this makes internet commerce more secure, unless some sort of crypto is built into the chip too.
If our testing of GFS, we have created ~108 GB filesystems (12 9GB disks software striped together). The only limit in the file system size is 1TB (which all Linux filesystem share).
GFS is a 64-bit filesystem. It supports files up to 2^64 bytes in size (on the alpha). It is much faster than ext2 for moving around big files.
If Firewire gets as cheap as they say it will, they will compliment each other.
Firewire on the low end, Parallel SCSI in the mid range, and Fibre Channel on the high end.
The best part is all three interfaces use the same protocol. The same SCSI midlayer and higher level drivers can be used for all three. You just need to write the low level driver for your particular interface card.

It's probably in idle because that's the only way they could justify that horrible picture of Sean Connery in his panties.
I must be missing something here.

GFS will support journaling by the fall.

I would actualy go out and buy a modem for my pilot if there was a version of ssh for it.
Fibre Channel isn't parallel. It's serial in both its copper and fiber implemetations.
It's just a lot faster than firewire.
