Network Performance Daily: Nobody's Fault: Taking the "F" Out of FCAPS
"This model fails to give full weight to the impact of performance. Performance drives perception, which means that, from a user's standpoint, the source of poor performance doesn't matter as much as the fact that performance is, in fact, poor."

Information Week: 100 Gigabit Ethernet--Impractical and Unnecessary, But Coming Anyway
For one thing, the potential usage scenario of a 100 Gb/s link is extremely small, since it's nearly impossible for normal systems to generate that much TCP/IP traffic. For example, the latest revisions of the PCI-X specification have a theoretical ceiling of 4.3 GB/s (or approximately 34.4 Gb/s), while 16x PCI-E has a theoretical ceiling of about 4 GB/s (or approximately 32 Gb/s).

Joel on Software: Using Source Control Tools on Large Projects
When you're working with source control on a huge team, the best way to organize things is to create branches and sub-branches that correspond to your individual feature teams, down to a high level of granularity. If your tools support it, you can even have private branches for every developer.

LKML.org: Linux 2.6.19 has been released
Linus Torvalds: "It's one of those rare "perfect" kernels. So if it doesn't happen to compile with your config (or it does compile, but then does unspeakable acts of perversion with your pet dachshund), you can rest easy knowing that it's all your own d*mn fault, and you should just fix your evil ways."
