WinSCP for Synchronizing Directories

if you are using both Windows and Linux computers and are not familiar with WinSCP you may want to check this out. WinSCP is a powerful, yet intuitive and easy to use utility to copy files between a local Windows computer and a remote Linux server. In particular it can be useful for backing up files to a remote server.

It provides a graphical user interface that makes connecting to the remove server a breeze. The standard layout shows two panels. A directory of the local machine on the left and a directory of the remote server on the right.

You can use it like a regular file manager for the local or remote directories to copy and delete files and directories. And you can open and view the content of files.

You can manually move files between the two computers, or you can use the synchronize or keep-up-to-date functions to automate the synchronization.

The program provides reasonable safeguards and confirmation queries so that you don't accidentally delete or overwrite the wrong files.

Finally, WinSCP also has command line and scripting capabilities for more complex operations.

WinSCP can be downloaded free of charge from winscp.net.

IBM's Watson Supercomputer to Compete on Jeopardy

After the success with supercomputer Deep Blue in beating the world chess champion Garry Kasparov, IBM engineers are taking on Jeopardy champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Their new creation "Watson" is a machine consisting of 10 racks of IBM POWER 750 servers with a total of 15 Terabytes of memory (RAM). With 2,880 processor cores this device can produce 80 Teraflops. It is powered by the operating system Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to be precise, and uses IBM's DeepQA software.
The main challenge of this project is not so much the vast amount knowledge that is required to cover the wide range of topics that may come up, since even standard computers now can have several terabytes of memory space and even more hard disk space to store information. The hard part is processing and understanding natural language as it is used in the game, and retrieving the information requested within a few seconds.
Watson's game is scheduled for February 14th. For more information see the project page on the IBM web site.
