    Let me introduce you to the Narwhal.

  2. Re:SPARC? on SGI Announces MIPS and IRIX End of Production · · Score: 1

    Old Dominion University uses mips. At least, they did 4 years ago...

  3. Re:Not a surprise on Arctic Sea Level Falling? · · Score: 1

    Take a glass and fill it with ice. Then add water until it reaches the brim of the glass. Let the ice melt. What happens?

    Note to naysayers: This is only valid if the only ice that melts is currently in the water. If the ice is on land, then the sea level should rise.

    The 45 minute drive is mainly at cruising speed. I commute about 450-500 miles a week. I live in the southeastern Virginia area (otherwise known as Hampton Roads) in a semi-suburban area on the outskirts of the cities that make up HR.

  5. Re:Funny thing on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When you live a 45 minute drive from where you work because it's the closest place you can afford housing, walking or riding a bike to work is not an option.

  6. Re:Other labs on UC Wins Contract to Run Los Alamos · · Score: 3, Informative

    As an employee of a private contractor who works at a R&D lab for the DOD, I can tell you that all of our work is considered government property. We are allowed to get patents/retain rights to any "intellectual property" we develop, but for the most part our work becomes the government's work.

  7. Re:Misunderstanding of what Trusted means on Red Hat Seeks to Deliver Most Secure Linux · · Score: 1

    If Red Hat are genuinely aiming to provide a platform capable of mixing restricted, secret and TS material on the same system then good luck to them. But I don't see any real users with material genuinely warranting those classifications being ready to trust such a system until a long time and a vast amount of validation work have been done. You could have said the same thing about Solaris years ago. I could see it being useful in our environment, but I work with the government.

  8. Misunderstanding of what Trusted means on Red Hat Seeks to Deliver Most Secure Linux · · Score: 1

    Even though you're trying to be funny, it does show a misunderstanding of what a "trusted" operating system provides. The biggest benefit is the ability to store information at various levels of classification, such as secret and top secret, on the same system and having access controls that are fine grained enough to make this secure. It's not just about keeping people who don't have access out, it's also enforcing need to know through the same system.

    you mean something like this ?

  10. Re:Season 2? on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    The first season of Battlestar started at during the second half of Sci Fi's lineup (at least in the US). SciFi's other original series like SG1 and Atlantis start during the summer, then break for several months, and then restart for a second half around the beginning of the new year.
