A Beowulf cluster of exercise bikes. Duh.

On top of which, the guy who made the card also happens to be the guy who wrote the bauble app (only 59p).

Nice way to promote the app (but shame on the /. editors).

But you are right, I can't find any app called keystone.

Here's a real world example which came up yesterday:

% man getpagesize

... The function getpagesize() returns the number of bytes in a page, where a "page" is the thing used where it says in the description of mmap(2) that files are mapped in page-sized units. ...

I guess you can decipher this, but perhaps they should use a weaker cipher for writing docs.

A little Python program to help you out:

gb = 1024**3
tb = 1024**4
mem = int(raw_input("Enter your machine's RAM in GB: ")) * gb
cat = 114*tb
print 'The cat has %d times more RAM than you' % (cat/mem)

Yes, I've only seen the problems under the VM (I haven't had the opportunity to install on real hardware yet). It could be that the VM graphics drivers aren't playing nice with KK (or vice versa).

I have run Jaunty, Hardy, Dapper, FC, and other distributions without any issues on the same VM, so my suspicions are that it might be something with KK. But I don't know for certain.

I have faith that the final release of KK will work swimmingly and I look forward to it.

My experience with 32-bit Karmic (running in a VM) wasn't that great.

The changes to xorg weren't picked up in my VM properly and so I ended up with a small monitor resolution which I couldn't change. There was also a lot of instability with X (I think). After copying an xorg.conf file from Jaunty, the VM wouldn't start X properly and I had to toss the VM. I probably could have fixed it, but there was nothing special on the VM so it was easier to restart.

This is running the VMs under a 64 bit version of Jaunty - with multiple procs assigned to the VM.

Windows? I've had better results running it in a VM. But, I only run Windows a couple of times a year.

From the FA, the longest password hacked was: "lafaroleratropezoooooooooooooo" (30 characters).

This was a phishing attack. The strength of the password didn't matter.

The article talks about analysis of password data and doesn't really point out anything we didn't know already.

I was thinking about this the other day as I was on a plane jammed into a seat with a laptop. I'd love to see this hooked up to something like:

The wall wart

This would make netbooks seem bulky by comparison.

What would be extra cool would be to put a touch screen there. Then you can have a user interface to a music player, ability to check mail, etc. without opening your laptop.

It might save on battery life when you don't have to look at the full screen. That's assuming that the smaller screen draws less power.

Much harder mod though.

I had to drop back to FF2.0 on my work machine because of this. However, a little bird told me that Mozilla doesn't officially support 64-bit Linux. It's my distribution which has compiled and released it for 64-bit.

On my 32-bit laptop, FF3.0 runs just fine - same distribution, just different architecture.

I take it you don't have vimperator installed.
