In all reports of this I have seen not one, not one, has said anything about the false positive and false negative rates of the test. Nor any report on the number of repeat tests.
Agreed. I too find AA unhelpful. It's fine to *look* at, but if I try to *read* more than half a screenful, it hurts. My eyesight is somewhat less than acute, even with glasses - I don't know if that has any bearing on the matter.
I have an Athlon + K7m (1.04) with Km1009 BIOS and it's/very/ nearly stable. I test by repeated re-builds of the GNU compiler suite. 95% are consistent, some show glitches - some benign.
Now what worries me is that I get the same sort of thing on P II - 266, Ultra-Sparc/Solaris 2.5.1 and Sparc SunOS 4.1.3_U1 2.
I was planning to ask Slashdot about this, but it takes time to collect the evidence with a fail rate this low.
IIRC, the authors of the first report on the Algol language explitly said is was for communicating Alorithms. People to machines *or* people to people.
The key, surely, is that the data and the program are stored in much the same way. Thusly you can compute what/how you want to compute. Whether Colussus did this, I have no idea.

One would hope for better from your rulers!
'Urgent -- employment issue' smells of spam to me. Why did anyone open a mail with a subject like that.
Is well known - it happens with focal plane shutters.
Much less pronounced of course since an FP scans a
little faster.
The dead tree version had on the cover a very Larryish
quote - (roughly) We have 80% of Perl6 done and we are now working on the next 80%.

Out of it from November 'til May. Just what I've
always wanted.
CPUs are evolving towards the ideal toaster controller: the same device will serve as control processer and heating element.
To my eyes, that galaxy has the look of an artists
impression - are there any other sceptics out there?
I was very disappointed by episode 1. They seem to
have forgotten the excellent advice 'leave them wanting more'. It might pick up...
Put aside the bleeding heart prejudice against cruel
and unusual punishments.
Vehiculates? Sweet Jesus!, one can only assume that English is not their first language.
So don't link them. At all. Ever. Leave them
net.dead.
Replaying advertisments? What process is going on in the heads of these people?
It's thought Jim, but not as we know it.
61 cm and not 60? Or did they mean 2ft. At least
the morons did not say 60.96cm.
Says Gartner.

Q: Why are there so many lawyers in California and
so many whores in Nevada?
A: Nevada had first choice.
The second test may have been getting its
sources from the I/O cache. Did the guy
clean up before running the second test?
How long is it going to take for people to learn
that 'steep learning curve' means easy (or quick
if you want to be really pedantic).

We got our own domain folks! We must be important! Perhaps the Euro will stop heading for the basement now.
You mean some people opened this thing? With such
a title its clearly advertising at best.
