    You and me know that the PIV is slower than a PIII, but the average Joe Doe doesnt know this.
    /me can't wait till we finally drop all the old legacy stuff on the x86.

    I haven't been able to successfully download files > 2 megs for over 3 months.

  4. Re:We need a net Pat Buchanan on Registrations Now Accepted For Asian Domain Names · · Score: 1

    The web was not invented by americans, even if you like to belive that :p
    It has been invented at the CERN in Swizzerland .. you know thats in Europa

  5. Why asian character sets? on Registrations Now Accepted For Asian Domain Names · · Score: 3

    Wouldnt it make more sense to implement umlauts like ö/ü/ä first?
    Easier to test etc..

  6. Do they pay for the work? on Intellectual Property Issues In College? · · Score: 3

    I'm not from the US, so please pardon me asking =)..
    Do students get cash for writing this programs, or do they have to pay less for the school if they code for the school ?
    I think everything written in schools, should either be public domain, or under some Open Content License.

    Is anyone working on an OSS Napster like service?

  9. Re:Could Someone "Become You"? on Hong Kong Smart Identity Cards In 2003 · · Score: 1

    Well, the chip on the card could require some sort of authentication ...
    so you'd have to copy the chips gate by gate too

  10. Nice, but .. on The Ultimate Monitor · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for affordable Laser Projectors with VGA input, so I can project my Natalie Portman porn collection on the clouds ;)

  11. I dont think this is going to work very well on Capcom To Use Emulation In Upcoming Products · · Score: 1

    Everytime a new console comes out, the games look good, but aren't that great..
    It takes a long while till the dev's figure out how to get the best out of a machine.
    You can't really do this with a virtual machine (without making the VM really bloated, and investing a lot of time tweaking it for every platform).

  12. Re:3Dfx v. nVidia: A moot point on 3dfx/NVidia Lawsuit Continues · · Score: 1

    the VSA 100 is pretty scaleable.
    I've seen a sheet with all kind of worksations with the VSA 100 chip.
    I think the workstation with the most chips had 32
    and as far as I know, its possible to put in up to 128 chips =)

  16. Human Translation of the german article. on A Transmeta Couplet · · Score: 4

    Well, my english is not perfect, so please bear with me =).
    I hope this translation is better than what the fish blurps.

    <Translation>
    The TM5600-Processor of Transmeta (used in the Sony Vaio) has to prove itself in the c't-Test-Facality right now.
    First Benchmark results show that the performance of 600-MHz-TM5600 is between the
    performance of a PIII 400 (while using the Appleman-testprogram, with about 15 Million iterations / sec)
    and a PIII 600.

    The Memory performance is pretty good for such a small Notebook,
    it starts with 60 MByte/s (MemCopy) , and goes up with Cache-Hits in the Translation buffer (to 170 MByte/s).
    Writing to the Memory (using Memset) is at about 280 MByte/s.
    To compare:
    Pentium III 500 (Via-Apollo-II-Chipsatz) writes with 70 Mbyte/s and 150 Mbyte/s.
    Pentium-III-Coppermine-800 (Solano-i815-Board) is about as good, with 190 MByte/s and 255 MByte/s.

    An interesting thing is, that the Crusoe-Processor responds to the CPUID command. (Cannot be disabled in the Vaio.
    But the Serial-Number seems to be calculated by the Code-Morphing-Software.
    The "real" CPUID command, (compatible to the AMD-Athlon) returns no Serial-Number back.

    There is no correct working CMPXCH8 command in the official specs,
    because Windows NT depends on the wierd behavior of a non correct CMPXCH8 if it detects a Pentium-Family CPU (Family -ID 5)
    (my note: AFAIK Intel first implemented a non RCF CMPXCH8 command)
    </Translation>

  17. How long will the change last? on Time Warner To Change DVD Region Coding System? · · Score: 1

    Everything can be cracked, given enough time & effort.
    With such a high profile hack, as breaking the new region things would be, someone will surly take a look at it, and it will be broken eventually.

  18. To be 3l33t try this on X86-64 Simulator - now available (Linux only) · · Score: 1

    Run a x86 64bit emulator on a 32 bit system, to install a 32 bit operating system ;)

  19. Emulating on X86-64 Simulator - now available (Linux only) · · Score: 5

    I gotta try this one out.
    run a x86-64 emu, install linux on it
    run VMWare, install windows
    and start a gameboy emulator ;)
    this way i get the exact gameboy speed =)

  20. Re:what's the hardware? on Apache vs IIS in Performance? · · Score: 1

    Compare that to a 486 with 4 MB of RAM, Apache will run like a dream and NT won't even boot
    wow, you mean we should continue to support 486 with 4 MB rams, and ignore high end servers?
    Yeah, slashdot is running on 4 clustered 486 :p

  25. Are the MATROX drivers open source as well? on Review of the Matrox G450 For Linux · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if they'd start to open source their drivers..
    sure people would figure out what little tricks they've used, but they'd save ALOT of money by letting some opensource coders doing the work.
