Using tools from inside an infected system is pointless. How can you tell that your system is not a zombie right now, if you havent used any tools from a known-good system?
280MB/s transfer speed? Sounds like the link speed, not the actual read performance. Consumer level harddrives reach maybe 80MB/s.
And speeding up SSD transfer speeds is just a matter of striping, thanks to the non existing seek time.
There are still accelerators in the server market.
But for a typical desktop they're pretty pointless. My amd x2 3800 can scp with about 45MB/s to an equally fast machine. Though netcat is still faster with approx. 57MB/s, those 45MB/s are enough to make me happy.
If you would have bothered to read the article, the author did spend some time making sure that no server components like apache or mysql were installed. Although there probably were more programs on the linux installs anyway.
Actually the new firewire stack is optional, it does not break anything. In addition to that, multi-lun devices are supported in the firewire git repository already (which I'm currently running). I get a huge performance boost from the new stack too.
I've tried the new stack with my devices. I must say I'm very impressed: pro - transfer speed went from about 19MB/s to 31MB/s - initialization time (time from loading the module until all/dev/sd? entries are visible went down considerably (from a few seconds/device to almost instant)
con - no multi-lun support: my ide controller (2 hds on one ide controller - one fw node) will only show one hd
It will be built in france and they are trying to make it self-sustaining (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER):
"ITER is designed to produce approximately 500 MW (500,000,000 watts) of fusion power sustained for up to 500 seconds (compared to JET's peak of 16 MW for less than a second) by burning of about 0.5 g of D + T mixture in its ~840 m3 reactor chamber. A future fusion power plant would generate about 3000-4000 MW of thermal power. Although ITER will produce net power in the form of heat, the generated heat will not be used to generate any electricity."
And that's exactly what the article is about. Just inside the EU, not world wide.
Try it this way: should a customer from one side of the USA be forced to pay a higher price than a customer from the other side, just because he lives in a different state?
Threads may not be the end all, but they might help performing several tasks at once better. I've seen firefox stop responding for a few seconds more than once because one tab was loading something. Of course my other tabs, though rendered completely, were left unusable because of the single threaded nature of firefox.
He said the cpu fan, no the cpu. And the cpu surely pumps out enough heat to power something like a fan. Though this is unrelated to the article, which is about getting the heat away from the cpu in the first place, not using it afterwards.
And OpenWRT runs on quite a few other routers other than Linksys. I'm running OpenWRT on my WL-500g Premium (8mb flash, 32mb ram) for example and I love it.
For some reason on Linux, with 32bit Firefox and flash, the video/audio desyncs when watching videos on YouTube. Try upgrading to the newest version of flash (9.0.31 or something). No more a/v desync for me:)
I wish that was the case. I really don't want to set up my linux root partition on fuse.

They are actually measuring the output in solar panels not in MW. They can produce enough solar panels in one year, to get a power of 100MW from them. Nothing wrong with that at all.

On the other hand, an asteroid impact of this order might take care of the problem of overpopulation for a while.

I'd guess that was intentional. The same reason they add 555 to phone numbers maybe?
