its nice and I played with it for a while but went back to netscape(mozilla 1.0)
why ? because I use that on all platforms and its nice to have the same gui everywhere win32 mac and unix
what would be the killer feature ?
well for me being able to use the command line to read emails via ssh (yes I know it can do portf/X11 forwarding but I dont want that e.g. i'm on another box and useing putty I just want to check my mails haveing seperate pine install and config is a pain a simple program that picked up evo's prefs would be good )
fonts for fsck's are simple find a nice postscript font and stick with it
you proberly thinking about websites that are stupid
X is slow : its not you have not changed the defaults that are made to work with all possible and not speed
people cant use and editor : the stupid rant about people who cant follow instructions about editing a file
try giveing intructions on what you have to do to change config in windows e.g. right click on network neibourhood properties........ compared to open the text file/etc/fstab and add the following text.....
this is so off base its amazing
then he goes and uses mozilla but fails to protect his machine with any sort of firewall when he connects with Microsoft Windows XP
just code it in C and then use gcc targeted at mmix to see the assembly and compare them with what he wrote(some of the time it wont be the same if ever because of register alocation but you get the point)

yes google is your friend but please people just use unicode for everything
you just have to have an editor that will do unicode and have your fonts set up right (since their is no free unicode set that would be hard) I use xemacs so what do I know
I would like to see one of these give a specFp result
I bet that it could cane IA64 in the specInt but the real test would be floating point and to do IEEE754 properly you need 64 bit otherwise you end up emulating it
of the ports linux to 64bit for linux HPPA and the oldie but goodie linux Alpha and linux sprac64 of course not forgeting linux for IA64 but unfortunately the linux for MIPS is not 64bit so if ever their was a challenge as linux is mostly 64bit clean its to do a MIPS64 port
oh and intel wont like to say linux for hammer which is not real 64bit just has some 64bit registers tacked on (but hey you can do fp right;-)
yeah great they did an installer and learnt how to compile src rpm's to what they like but I have yet to see them actually upgrade anything before redhat has put its fix's in
e.g. lets see them actually use gcc3.1 before redhat
Opencores provides some of the effort BUT my favorate is
LEON-1 VHDL model
- Functional SPARC compatible processor core integer unit. Runs on Altera, Mietec, Temic MG2, Xilinx. Developed for space missions. Implemented as a highly configurable, synthesisable GPL VHDL model.
but the real deal is
SyncML that works on phones and soon palms that is a nice stable platform for doing this the only problem would be patents but since they dont have any filed in taiwan it does not really matter
maybe this will be actually useful but I dont see what they are useing as the windowing system
also they use the Toshiba TX3911 a MIPS but they clock it real low
(the tx39XX was the part done for sony EE was it not ?)
and anyone who has actually tried to use a sharp zarus when away from the office knows its not much use as the power dies because of the LCD the same is true of fancy CE machines (when will people learn that haveing your contacts in colour is pointless if you cant see it better to go with greyscale and have a couple of extra hours of use)
they claim USB & networking is this built in ? (I dont remember tosh doing a mips part with eth MAC on chip)
my hopes are high that this will work I am curious to how they get input and what they use to display CJK chars
Intel have the worst design in terms of cost but this is offset by their buckload's of money and moveing production lines to a.13 process (also getting SA1110 so that they can run that on the old ones and keep them profitable)
AMD has got out of the game partnering with UMC
SUN used TI and fujitsu and fujitsu are out of the game now
HPaq use Intel and are out of the game
SGI use TSMC now......
IBM are so ahead of the game it's scary just as well they only intrested in Power (-;
Moto are long since dead and are useing TSMC
so it comes down to....
Intel vs IBM and maybe SGI & AMD depending on how things work out
so in terms of what counts its the northbridge and CA seems to have done well custermising Intels referance IA64 northbridge to handle 128 procs HP has done its own and thats whats going into that big Linux machine they sold
oh yeah
Redhat layed of a bunch of people today dont see that in the news
Slashdot Mirror
not really I suspect that they have a few tricks up their sleaves
what would really be fun would be to know what version of the compiler they are useing
win2k it was Visual C 6 I wonder if they changed for XP

I would like to see one of these give a specFp result

I bet that it could cane IA64 in the specInt but the real test would be floating point and to do IEEE754 properly you need 64 bit otherwise you end up emulating it
now we have of the true 64 bit microproessor's
Sun Microsystems - Processors which are a Sparc
PA-risc which is MIPS like
and MIPS64 which I like alot
of the ports linux to 64bit for linux HPPA and the oldie but goodie linux Alpha and linux sprac64 of course not forgeting linux for IA64 but unfortunately the linux for MIPS is not 64bit so if ever their was a challenge as linux is mostly 64bit clean its to do a MIPS64 port

yeah but what kind of browser does she use I bet its I.E. or netscape 6 if she's really trying to be goofy
try getting her to compile mozilla and I bet she'd shirk it "but I'm not a techy"

anyone who has anything to do with a standards body nowadays know's that people try and hijack standards so their tech/patent gets into it
this way if you implement the standard you have to pay
you can't have an opensource MPEG 4 without paying 3million bucks when you distribute it and they call that a standard
ok real hardware and software
in terms of a kernel their is in My Humble Opinion
Linux
Open BSD
netbsd for every arch under the sun (joke included)
then we have the problem of hardware
Opencores provides some of the effort BUT my favorate is
LEON-1 VHDL model
- Functional SPARC compatible processor core integer unit. Runs on Altera, Mietec, Temic MG2, Xilinx. Developed for space missions. Implemented as a highly configurable, synthesisable GPL VHDL model.
Altera 10K200E FPGA or Xilinx XCV300 enable this you can also get a LCD and keyboard AMBA devices from www.gaisler.com
what I would like is a machine that you could say that the whole thing is opensource
regards
john jones
yes and some more alpha codeD esign.html
http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/arch/ABSyncClient
but the real deal is
SyncML that works on phones and soon palms that is a nice stable platform for doing this the only problem would be patents but since they dont have any filed in taiwan it does not really matter

linux will win
try compileing lmbench and see the results
the whole driver issue in OS X makes it great for hotswap devices such as USB
BUT if you have a decent compiled linux kernel and know your hardware then it will beat it every time
(plus ext2 beats the pant off apples UFS)

I tried the last yellow dog and found that their libm was fscked
doesnt exactly inspire me
anyone tried to compile spec benchmarks on it ?

I know its evil but set up a rshd on all these and then you dont have these problems
unix solved this a long time ago with nfs or rsh
lost of people do rshd and I suspect that you could get a sshd for win32 as well
oh and name your box's well (-;
regards
john jones
I use OS X as my client now
why ?
it has a port of X (windows)
and it has THE best terminal app IMHO
other things are that fonts are far nicer than anything that I could get under X even when using the sgi font server
oh and ssh is in the box (alright then a update )

anyone think about doing a DRI module for the i128 ?

everyone asking about hardware and to be honest its not what makes google good
after all thewayback machine does kind of the same thing
its software
so this is my question
what browser do you use ?

you will need a minature reactor to power the things

p.s. redhat knifed the ecos product(and GPL'd it) and a bunch of employee's dont see that in the news
it's more a case of FAB's
.13 process
Intel have the worst design in terms of cost but this is offset by their buckload's of money and moveing production lines to a

yeah great law
now how long until someone enforces it
and can you ?
hey how do you make a guv dept work inside the law ?
(personally I throw bricks at their windows until they get fed up and comply)

john jones
who cares if you cant actually use the damn thing
.13 or .9
mask costs are about $2million for
so its not the same and relatively few people can afford it
unless you share and then you can only really get engineering samples
AMD made the smart move of UMC and TSMC are just ARM/MIPS prod lines with some custom phillips stuff
IBM, Intel and maybe TI are the only people who can aford to do this anymore....
if you wanted me to put money on it I would bet IBM and the rest wither (yes Intel will outsource eventually)
