  7. Linux on Sparc? on Researchers Find Way To Zap RSA Algorithm · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Gee, does anyone run Linux on Sparc in production, or know anyone who knows anyone who does or did? Heh.
    Yeah I know these distros exist and work well. It's just an odd choice of platform, IMHO.

  8. Re:Exactly what you're doing on Long-Term Storage of Moderately Large Datasets? · · Score: 1

    Why is tape storage better? Cheaper than drives per GB? Certainly tapes are more rugged when it comes to gforce shock but aside from that why are they superior?

    "How can you expect a jury not to be influenced by what they is in the media before they sit for the trial." Is this a statement or a question? I think it's a question, but I'm not sure.

  17. Good points. It's a shame. on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA Over the Next 10 Years · · Score: 1

    It boils down to the ascendence/dominance/supremacy of the financial sector. Finance ubber alles. Companies had nothing new to offer so they borrowed money (billions in some cases) to buy out their competitors. When the mergers failed to result in the massively greater efficiencies, they started selling off divisions and the shareholders got screwed. (What good did buying Saab do GM, for instance?) None of this mattered to the finance guys. They got paid on the front end. I need to get Paul Krugman's book. Damn, it's expensive.

    I've met professional people (two doctors and one lawyer) who believe that new software is often written by existing software programs. I guess they watch too much sci-fi. So yeah, your approach could work.
