  1. Re:If its ANYTHING like their XP mobiles, Sign me on AMD's New Venice Core Shows Overclocking Potential · · Score: 1

    Leaving them with an old antiquated nearly extinct instruction set :P

    The day I'm waiting for is when Intel finally admits defeat and releases an A64 compatible chip...

    Though I dont think its going to be anytime soon.

  3. If its ANYTHING like their XP mobiles, Sign me up on AMD's New Venice Core Shows Overclocking Potential · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I love the overclock I've got on my 2600+ XP-M running at 12.5 * 200 with nothing but a nice heatsink and fan.

    The Barton core is awesome, and AMD is just refining their game here, working with the same basic silicon for the A64 and the XP. Intel's brains are divided up among way too many incompatible irrelevent architectures.

    Just my 2 cents.

  4. This Just Proves it! on Google Launches Google Print · · Score: 1
    Google is on their way to being the holder of all the information making up the modern world.

    First it was the web, then usenet, then everyones email, and now the sum of our written words as well.

    My God, how long until it is sentient?

    I personally welcome our google overlords.

    (I use my Gmail account exclusively now, and my domain mail is blind forwarded to it, I just LOVE the interface).

  5. Re:Yay, feed the sheep! on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 1

    An article in Spin said Avril's latest album, despite selling very well from day one, wasn't getting any radio play.

    Obviously they figured a bunch of late-night spins would fix this... yea right.

    I love my Riteks. I burn them at 8x in my Pioneer 107D

    8:26 for a full 4.38 gigs is nice.

  7. Re:Mirror with PDF on Practical File System Design with the Be File System · · Score: 1

    I disabled SOME ads because it said you had to in order to see stories early, but I'm certainly seeing many ads anyway, is that a good thing or bad thing for /. considering I've never in my life so much as glanced/clicked or even as such considered one?

    The file is just over a meg, and I've got tons of extra bandwidth to burn, I think :)

    I can have 9 gig files on NTFS in Windows XP routinely. All the linuxs and BSD are easily capable of this as well.

  11. Re:Can we get a Uhaul trailer? on NetBSD Sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record · · Score: 1

    With my Pioneer 107D and Ritek G04 media, I can burn a 4.38 gig DVD-R in about 8:30. So obviously the number of burners necessary is astronomical. Anyone read the article in wired about the researcher just sending full PCs with OSes as data transfers? The things had huge raid fives, and he just shipped them UPS back and forth all over the country. Isn't magnetic media denser than optical right now in terms of gigabyte per cubic meter? Even counting the physical space a cab full of 12 drives would take ?

    I wrote an article about this on my website, AskaDick.com. Dick's Holiday Gift Guide The list includes such gems as Xbox+Modchip and GBASP+Flashcart. More of a practical guide in my opinion than this one, with some humor thrown in. Check it out.

    Until they are fighting ACTUAL wars by sitting on their ass playing what seems like a video game. How many decades until we can get the hook up on that.

    Apparently if you are looking for spare parts to keep them up and running, they weren't built to last..... You just undermined your own point with the anecdote, so unless you were trying to be ironic, you suck at the internet.

    1) 1999 - Buffer Overflow causes Half-Life to crash while I'm in an important clan match (counter-strike) we lose the match, and I lose many friends.

    I love these calls, the moment "DNS serv..." comes out of their mouth I start spouting the dotted quads. I know at least 5 of our DNS IPs by heart, but only give out two on a regular basis. Whats truly sad though, is about 75% of the "I just need the DNS servers" people call back and ask me why their connection isn't working. BAH.
