  1. I've seen these before by ObviousGuy · · Score: 1 · on Take a Peek Inside the Dane-Elec Memory Plant

    They had one at the local Pizza Hut!

    I love how space age technologies trickly down into everyday use.

  2. Re:Why can't i386 assembler be used? by juggleme · · Score: 1 · on Porting Linux Software to the IA64 Platform

    Here's some benchmarks of a 666 MHz Itanium on x86 code. About as good as a Pentium 100. Not exactly a compelling reason to buy a thousand dollar chip...

  3. Re:I'd like to know by RC514 · · Score: 5, Informative · on ISP Forced Out of Business by DoS

    The slashdot effect has been analyzed:

    Traffic increase from slashdot effect
    Increase in hits and bandwith requirements of a Linux related story being featured on Slashdot
    Analysis of several stories making it to the frontpage of Slashdot and other newslogs.

    Especially the second link shows that the Slashdot effect can look very much like a DDoS attack. The severance depends on the story, probably on the time of day and of course on the link and hardware powering the /.ed site.

    If you pay by the gigabyte for your webtraffic (who doesn't), the /. effect can be a financial DoS attack much more than a technical DoS.

  4. some other machine. better in my opinion. by leuk_he · · Score: 2 · on Cappuccino PC Round 2
    Some similar pc with cd (in dutch)
    this ,atoz-ezgo PC seems more to the job because it has integrated ethernet and a integrated cd.

    Some other people wrote a concern about heat. This thing has a (patented) special head spreader, very much like how a F1 race car.

    I know is already for sale in the netherlands. It is not cheap.... .

  5. A Porsche ? by mirko · · Score: 2 · on Itanium Preview And 32-bit Benchmarks

    While folowing the link to the Tahoe Arch. I found this.
    don't worry, no goat here, but just some holiday pictures that I don't understand.
    Is it a hack or what ?
    Update:while checking my link I found what I expected at first.

  6. Duron locked, but workaround already found! by arnoroefs2000 · · Score: 3 · on AMD Ends Overclocking On Durons


    The multiplier pins may be gone on your new Duron, but the multiplier can be unlocked anyway!

    Read about it here: http://www.tweakers.net/reviews.ds p?Document=150

    Woohooo 900Mhz, here I come!

  7. AMD is locking CPUs by safar · · Score: 1 · on Asus A7V Overclocking Confirmed

    I bought a Duron here in the Netherlands which is indeed locked (I believe one of the first actually sighted). We've also figured out a way to remove the lock, so after doing that you can use the thing on an A7V with dipswitches again. We didn't have an A7V, so we modified our Gigabyte micro-ATX to be able to set the multiplier. A full account can be found here. Removing the lock in this way will almost certainly make you unable to turn it in for warranty servicing, so you anti-overclocking zealots can rest easy as well. Jasper Janssen
