Each PCI-Express 1.1 lane is capable of up to 2.5 billion transfers per second - 2.5 Gbps. At 16 lanes, a PCI-Express 1.1 x16 slot is therefore good for up to 40 Gbps, or 5 GBps. If we're talking PCI-Express 2.0, double that.
I'm a student at WVU, and we recently implemented a similar system for emergency alerts here. There's a website you check for detailed information (http://emergency.wvu.edu/) and they send out texts and emails if there is an on-campus emergency, major off-campus criminal activity, or severe weather.
Interestingly enough, a few days after this system was implemented, there was a major shooting at a local apartment complex (botched robbery, 1 dead, another injured) and the text system functioned well for short notice, although a few people who signed up didn't get notices.
I suppose this new system could work well if properly run, but if something happens at government level most every other news outlet (TV, Web, etc.) is going to be saturated with info anyway, so it seems kind of redundant.
I can't take anyone seriously who uses terms like "Open-Sores," "Micro$oft/M$," "Windoze," "Linuzzz," etc. It makes a person sound like a 13-year old script kiddie.
The most common reason I've ever heard people state for rejecting evolution is simple hubris - "I didn't come from no ape. Humans ain't animals. We're SPESCHUL."
Some people don't want to believe that they might have a lot in common with the poo chucking monkeys at the local zoo. It's horribly arrogant, especially given the nature of the people making the claims.
Cider works by directly loading a Windows program into memory on an Intel-Mac and linking it to an optimized version of the Win32 APIs. Games are "wrapped" with the Cider engine and they simply run on the Mac.
Cider is no more virtualization than GTK or Mesa are "virtualization".
FTA: Xerox expects that over time, the technology will be used in personalized checks that will have the account holder's signature printed in a fluorescent stripe.
"A merchant could easily compare the fluorescent signature with the actual one to validate the check," said Eschbach.
That's even worse, cause normally someone doesn't have the signature of the account holder if they were to steal/find a check. This will actually give them that, and make the check appear that much more authentic when used ("What do you mean, check fraud? That's your signature, isn't it?").
y'know, we can keep doing this until they archive this thread.
but i don't wanna. so i'm going to bed.
also, it can be safely assumed that a slashdot user name is not directly associated with a location anyway, as random pieces of land don't often rise up out of the bowels of the earth and post on slashdot. therefore, saying that i am 'any location nowhere near "funny'" is kinda awkward.
it would be much better to say "adam.dorsey : located at any location nowhere near funny" or something like that.
or whatever. the full bottle of cheap wine in me is telling me to go to bed now.

Maybe this scenario you describe could jump-start the move to ipv6. Of course, then there would be so much IP space for them to grab all over again.
To participate in the Microsoft Linux Management beta, simply boot to Linux and type "rm -rf /" at a root console.
Not really.

1. terrorism (boogedy-boogedy!)
2. kiddie pr0n (think of the children!)
3. fraud (oh no, my precious inbox is filled with spam!)
What's number four? Software/music/video piracy.
Wow, that was fantastic. I needed a laugh.

En garde, sir!

The corollary to this is that TransGaming/Cider is actually virtualization as well.
No. Cider is an implementation of the Win32 API, just like Wine.
From the Cider page:

Gentlemen! You're missing the most important question:
What kind of pie?
Do they even understand the concept of bad publicity any more, or did they just stop caring?
Fuckers hit close to home, this time; Autopatcher was great for keeping relatives on dialup up-to-date.
Linux mail directors/servers/etc. often run AV to scan mail for their more vulnerable cousins from Redmond.

Sir, that was beautiful. True poetic genius.

Yeah, so someone gets one of these, what then?

Ooooh, I like that one too.
Imagine if we could make silicon breast implants. A set of jugs that could hold the Library of Congress!
Of course, the lovely ladies blessed with such extensions would need to wear water-cooled brassieres.
Dude, you do realize you forgot the one element that is most critical to computing applications?
:)
Yeah, that's right.
Silicon.
Good job. Your geek license is hereby revoked.
