You can boost the signal strength on routers once they're flashed with DDWRT. Do that (up to like 80mW) and use the least used channel and you should be good.
I had one of these things. It was a pocket calculator. I needed to be in a bright room or it didn't work. I don't think it was as fast as this though...:-p
I'm pretty sure the X.org 7.2 merge is pretty close to complete. It borked a bunch of stuff, beryl, compiz, 3d stuffs, when they only half merged it with the repos last week. From what I see right now all the X.org drivers (except fglrx, ATI's proprietary driver) are at 7.2 as are the xorg server bins. I'm sure there are some modules still to be upgraded especially since Compiz hasn't worked for me since last week. There are plenty of threads about this on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/.
It really depends upon how barcelona performs. It's been a long time since AMD spit out a new architecture and it will be interesting to see if they blew all their creative juices on the A64 arch 3 years ago.
AMD would have to change their "x86 everywhere" rhetoric if they were to be bought out by IBM, that's for sure.
Looks like this guy lives in the "Chambana" area and probably attends/works at UIUC. I should find him and ask him!
Yeah, the 2k3 (pro pthreads article) is exactly the same as the 2k6 (pro win32 threads) except the cons in the first are the strengths in the second and visa versa. He doesn't really back any of this up with benchmarks, which would be impossible given he likes them both:-p.
Yes. I'm for one less payment of the Microsoft Tax. Generally when I see the stuff they preinstall on their Windows machines (hell, this goes for pretty much all OEMs) I really wonder if they want them to preform well at all.
Yeah, seriously. My DDWRT hacked router runs linux, and it's pretty super, especially along those criteria. The real bottleneck is the hardware it runs on. DDWRT is being ported to run on x86... that's just as relevant as this article, IMHO.

Clearly you understood the humor. If you care to hear my opinion on the announcement, I'm more than happy to share:
The massive parallelism offered by this will be hard to exploit for anything other than scientific applications. The only thing I can think of that uses so many "threads" is something like SETI, Protein Folding, etc. For example, the Geforce 8800 can do about 300GFLOPS and is made of regular ol' silicon but it doesn't mean that I can run Linux on it any faster than I can on my Core2Duo. The question the article fails to address is how the data for these 64,000 parallel calculations is going to get to the processor fast enough to fully utilize this thing. I think it's great but it still doesn't address the question of getting the data to the right place at the right time.
But you wouldn't care what I have to say... I'm just another retard....
I just checked out those pictures and all I have to say is wow. Unfortunately, from the given images, it's really impossible to follow any of those lines. It's amazing IIS even works....
The short answer to your question: yes. There are talks of porting DX10 to Windows2k/XP http://www.winehq.org/?issue=320 Given the wine libraries are used in ReactOS, this shouldn't be too difficult. Who knows, maybe more people will take an interest in WINE or maybe move to Linux for gaming.... Unfortunately WINE still has a while to go before it's a complete alternative.
First of all, what is Lunix? Second of all, there are plenty of games which run natively on Linux (Doom 3, one of the UTs, blabla). Fifth of all, many games run on Wine and, if not on Cedega, both of which are free to some extent (Cedega CVS is installable via a sh script). I'm not going to go on... unless you're actually talking about Lunix... which I know nothing about.
Gentoo has it and it certainly will compile on my system. The real issue which I didn't have time to type out is that a lot of software can be made available for a 64bit system by either running a compatibility layer or simply running the 32 bit version. I cannot, for example, on Ubuntu 64bit adjust the brightness for my LCD because the sonypi module "just doesn't show up" when I search for it using Synaptec. That shouldn't be the case.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the NVIDIA Linux driver (which is closed source, written by NVIDIA) recently had a buffer overflow exploit. Good thing it only took them 2 years from the point of introducing the bug to fixing it.

we're sorry you've lost your memory.

In fact it was the first game for CDROM and correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Riven the first game for PCs on DVD?
Aaah, remember the days when you bought "Multimedia PCs?"
Anyone up for some Jezzball? Sam & Max Hit the Road? Day of the Tentacle?

I've seen many, many presentations by lead architects at AMD and the "x86 everywhere" is a direct quote from them.

Hey, every school should have a good role model like this.

Wrong movie. Corbin Dallas and Ruby Rod are on this one.

Built for quadratic equations eh? So was the program I wrote for my TI-83 in high school.

Solve time travel so I can be the first poster. Anyone have a DeLorean? Plutonium, or maybe pinball machine parts to get some plutonium with?
My experience with Edgy (since late betas) and Feisty have been that it was not required to sudo to burn anything.
I thought this was going to give me the 100 million victims' data. Guess not :(

I haven't had the same wonderful experience with 64bits and Ubuntu. I'm acutally about to download Feisty 32bit since the 64 bit still lacks Wine.
