Gotta love that 70's nightclub scene ;)
ZDnet reports "An Australian security firm is about to launch a clustered Linux
distribution that aims to utilize the unused nightly processing power
of desktop PCs. Dubbed CHAOS,
the software is able to remotely boot a computer and run it on Linux
without affecting the local hard disk. With enough PCs, this has the
potential of creating a
distributed supercomputer."
Now, I like to know how it does that. Does it use bootip or is it a
CD-rom based filesystem ? The reason I want to know is, if you read
that paragraph again, it sure sounds like one hell of a virus.
Last night I wrote a rather length report on the Apple WWDC Preview
that was held in Brisbane. Unfortunately, when I clicked the submit
button ... at the same time, I lost my net connection (good ole
Telstra) and then couldn't go back without losing what I'd just typed.
Well I decided to make the site live this morning - so here it is. This
is the new site switched from Nucleus (Kubrick Theme) to Mambo
(Kubrick-ported Theme with Sikosis customizations). Whilst, I'm finding
Mambo pretty strange to get around, I'm still finding it pretty
customizable. It's just PHP and MySQL after all, but I find the loading
of components to be a complete pain in the ass.
As you'll see there is currently no News Archive, as there is no
component to do this in Mambo, pretty slack eh ? I found quite a few
people asking for the feature, with no responses, so I'll be working on
something that does the job soon. I'm also working on a component
maker, so that it make things easier when creating components, as I'll know doubt have to
create lots of them over the course of this year.
ColorWare has announced that starting March 14 it will sell colored Mac minis
as well as offer to add color to customers' existing computers. The
service will be US$99 whether it's added to a computer purchased from
ColorWare or performed on a computer sent to the company.
ColorWare will offer 20 shades to choose from and will service both the
1.25GHz and 1.42GHz versions of the Mac mini. The company already sells
colored iPods, iMac G5s, PowerBooks and iBooks and can add pigments to
existing MP3 players and computers. It describes its process as "a
hybrid between the manufacturing and automotive painting industry."
