To be fair, as a supplement to the President's memorandum, the U.S. CTO and CIO are leading programs to stop the proliferation of .gov sites and focus on converting all the PDF and static website content into machine-readable data so public/private services can communicate create content via APIs. Your sites won't need updating if the data coming from the government is being streamed into an embedded visualization app. You'd be able to consume whatever report or graph you need in whatever form you need it in, using the scope you want.

To dumb it down it's basically world of warcraft but in space. What I mean by that is you're constantly button mashing while you watch your model ship circle around your target shooting at something. When eve players talk about "skill" they're talking about it in the same sense as WoW players do...

Hardly. In Eve you'll notice a lot of combat involves ships circling around each other in orbits whereas in WOW tournaments the arenas are close combat and involve line-of-sight tactics. Example

Actually, fast is a relative term. Our local LAN workstations work fine with a Drobo as a shared active storage system for 1080p high-definition raw video projects which we all can edit from _simultaneously_. That's the key... there's enough throughput for multiple users to push heavy live data without hiccups, even in a bandwidth-hogging setup like workgroup video editing.

Yep. We have a Drobo connected to one of our workstations via Firewire 800 and share the drive between our local users in this department using a simple gigabit ethernet switch. It's practically a no-brainer expandable, protected data solution that requires no IT assistance. We have ours formatted HFS+ (between macs) using a 16 TB volume size to maximize capacity. In the future if 16 TB isn't enough (LOL?) then we'll just chain another 16 TB Drobo to that from the other Firewire 800 port.

Patch the Linux Kernel Without Reboots 286

evanbro writes "ZDNet is reporting on ksplice, a system for applying patches to the Linux kernel without rebooting. ksplice requires no kernel modifications, just the source, the config files, and a patch. Author Jeff Arnold discusses the system in a technical overview paper (PDF). Ted Ts'o comments, 'Users in the carrier grade linux space have been clamoring for this for a while. If you are a carrier in telephony and don't want downtime, this stuff is pure gold.'" Update: 04/24 10:04 GMT by KD : Tomasz Chmielewsk writes on LKML that the idea seems to be patented by Microsoft.
