I suspect that since you can move between Gnome and OSX that *you* have a huge lead on everyone. You probably are not an average computer user...you're above average at least.
That said, shouldn't those two machines be on roughly the same level as far as processing power goes? Then, to get myself in big trouble, is Gnome really supposed to be at the 'it just works' level? (Really, that's not a bash, just a question. Notice how I've left out my platform of choice?)
Huh? What does that mean, "Studying for a masters degree"? If you are working on your masters there isn't any studying to do. You might be doing research but that's different. Then "the format connot be considered stable for more than 10 years". What is that supposed to mean? You imply that the media is what is meant by 'format' but I can't be sure. If you are really refering to format then sure the format might not be widely used in 10 years...but my CD drive still works... what's your point?
Sorry to rant, but my wife is working on her masters and she doesn't have any study time. What she does have is teaching time and research/analysis time. Any jackass that talks about studying for their masters is just that, a jackass.
I feel the same way about falling from very tall objects (e.g., skyscrapers). I would prefer gradual resistance with little or no 'hitting a wall' effect at the end. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that...in fact, often the weak resistance offered by air is nullified by a strong downdraft.
It doesn't matter what you do...some part of your security solution is going be broken by some hackers at some point. Get used to it, deal with it.
Me, I spend the money my boss gives me for security on beer and better video cards for my office mates that like unreal tournament.
Oh, I should also mention that in addition to not providing any type of network secuity you must also not supply any type of network monitoring. Can you imagine...you're two frags from godlike and some system monitor (that you don't understand anyway) starts paging your beeper like a crazy x-girlfriend.
Count yourself lucky that you aren't ALSO moving physical locations. Since you are only changeing providers you will *have* to bite the bullet and pay for duel service until you cut everything over. Since you have that much address space you must have some decent equipment and some good knowledge and experience.
Like some other posters have said, you are going to need to forward/NAT, etc whatever you move from one service to another until DNS catches up. But you will need to watch out for the idiot coder that used an IP instead of a domain. *THAT* will be the hardest part of this whole move for you.
I haven't read the article but one guess would be that if each machine had a specific and equal time limit in which to decide on its next move, the machine with better performance would be able to think more about the next move in the given time period and thus make better choices about which piece to move next.
I realize it must be almost impossible to resist opening it to see exactly what's inside but wouldn't it be really cool for a future generation to find something someday?
How about instead of opening it they bury it deeper? I suppose there is always the threat of plunderers and what not, but at some level, is an archeologist any better?
I guess I see it like a future race opening every casket in a graveyard simply because it's there and there might be another gold ring inside. I'd rather we didn't destroy everything until something like a holodeck can be built to preserve these sites in at least one sense.
Not to be negative, but the front end doesn't look like it offers much in the way of shock absorbtion. Perhaps that's just a matter of the way I drive.
I'll have to agree with you. While my UID is almost double yours (or it is, too lazy too actually look), I've been around long enough to know that a convention would not be the same fun as say a BBS get together in the old days. It was possible back then to actually know everybody on the board.
Plus, I recall sitting in the spare bedroom of many a sysop looking at the boxes of 5 1/4 floppy disks of games and more games. Unless CmdrTaco is going to let me in his house AND take me to the hosting location, I'm really not interested.
I'm totally with you. I tried to want one of the games they ported (becuase the quality was good and the install of the demos was fine) but I just couldn't pick a game that I wanted to play. I'm not the target market I guess...I probably would have purchased something like Ultima V or a really cool version of nethack or any game along those lines. But Solitaire? Did the original for Windows even sell? (That's not flamebait, btw).
What strikes me is that they ported so many games but still didn't cover all the basics. Perhaps they had trouble getting companies to agree to the deal. No matter what, they really only served a certain portion of the game market...a market that appears to not have been big enough.

how many people do actually die while driving to the airport. that's what I want to know. I mean, when I'm sitting there and an extra ticket becomes available, is that because someone just died?
The Star Wars we all remember was mostly about telling the story. It was captivating and definently interesting. Sure, there was a bit of 'side story', but the movies were always about the end theme. (If you don't know, well, too bad).
The new movies don't seem focused on the story line. I mean, what have pod racers to do with Vaders character developement? Anyone see him race pods later in life? No? No duh.
Including the droids was a mistake. Later in life, did the just forget to mention what they knew about Vader? Duh. Lame.
It should come as no surprise that the next movie is a rental. If you go to the theater, don't complain here. IT WILL SUCK!
I don't see how this could be a good idea. The heater cycles just like the temp of my cpu cycles but the heater is tied to a thermometer and my cpu is tied to either Unreal Tournament or virtual idle.
The only way this could work is if maximum cpu usage would NOT overheat the water. You could then still use a regular tank heater to make up the difference. Wow...the more I think of this it just might work. Someone needs to run some tests and let us all know!
...which is get high speed access (RR in Milw., WI is super)
for a low price. It's not my fault that they pay too much for
bandwidth but yet advertise to me how my connection might be
up to 100 times faster than dialup. I hope they didn't mean
my old 300 baud modem on my C64.
So, really, maybe the problem is with the prices THEY pay.
I only use bz2 for the kernel. Seems to me that processing power is cheaper than bandwidth (lucky for me I have plenty of both.)
If the extra time to decompress a bz2 over a gz is that great a factor, why would you even want to compile a kernel on that particular machine? Compile it on your fast box and just copy it over. That's what I do.
Slashdotted before I could read the whole thing.:( But, as a sysadmin for a smallish web devolopment/hosting company I could REALLY use some separation between certain clients. Sure, this isn't ready for production systems but one day it may be.
The patcher is right...modern CPUs (for my industry) have PLENTY of power. What I hate is having to run some third party app for a client (even in a Linux environment) that *might* affect the whole machine. This patch holds the promise that I won't have as much to worry about.
I *swear* I just hit the reply button! If you have the patience to read through this little thread you will see that each of my posts makes sense for at least one of someone elses posts.
I won't argue with your there. Somewhere else is a post with the only two 'departments' I consider worth reading in the whole magazine. It didn't used to be like that though. In the old days, Discover what really great. Made me think. Now all I think is, 'When will my sister, grateful that I am, stop renewing my subscription?'
The answer is that she didn't resubscribe me for my recently past birthday so I should be safe now.
I hear you. I'm not sure how long you've been reading slashdot, but I gather you don't much care for old magazine articles either. What we really need is a "Slashdot from the past". I would *LOVE* to see the headlines from three years ago or two years even.
Plus, as a current subscriber to Discover Magazine (where this whole thread comes from), Discover Magazine has totally gone down hill! The best parts are 'Vital Signs' and 'Brain Bogglers'. The rest is glamour.
Sure, I'm a troll. Whatever. But I'm right. This *IS* old news.
If you actually read the post, what I'm asking for is a new category that I can filter. Remember the moderator guidelines? Try to mod stuff UP not down. Sad.
I realize you are looking for a nice removable backup medium but you can't have it. Not with today's cheap harddrives. It'll be much much cheaper for you to build a backup machine with enough GBs to hold your data. The risk is what are the odds that two disks fail at the same time? (Hey! That's the gamble with RAID too!)
The other alternative is to only have data that is crap, like this post, which isn't worth backing up.:)

Does no one care or is everyone reading the article first?

Leave *my* mouse out of this!

Good thing! I hate to see you get it up and running and then it still not work.

You might just lose concentration.

Are you planning to build your own chip by buying raw materials from Motorola's suppliers? That's awsome! Put a website up about it (with pictures!)
I haven't read the article but one guess would be that if each machine had a specific and equal time limit in which to decide on its next move, the machine with better performance would be able to think more about the next move in the given time period and thus make better choices about which piece to move next.
