  1. There's minivend on Open Source E-Business Solutions? · · Score: 1

    http://www.minivend.com/ Is an open source shopping cart system that seems to be in use, Their page has links to all the other pieces that are needed (mostly free, but some not)

  2. Duh. If you seen I,VI,V, and IV you should know on Major Star Wars Character To Die in Next Books · · Score: 1

    If you have seen all the starwars movies than you know who is going to die. DUH! The only question is that of timing, is it in II or III, and this just confirms that it must be in II.

    There is one nano-leap you need to make to figure it out [ that wasn't given away in any movie, but is SOOOO obvious to anyone that payed attention to episode I]

    P.S. I wish it was Jar-Jar, but it isn't.

  3. Re:Nope(?) on Linux on a SIMM · · Score: 1

    If I am not mistaken decoding an MP3 uses floating point, and I recall something like a '50Mhz pentium' needed to decode an mp3 in real time, faster if you want to do anything else besides. [from imperfect memory cells]

    A dragonball (68349) is a CPU32+ core and does no floating poing [in hardware].

  4. number of chips. on Ask Slashdot: Finding Quad Pentium II Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    That's BS. I have here next to me a quad pentium Pro ALR box, and although at the moment it only has 2 CPUs (PPro 166 512K oc'd to 200) I have run it with 1, 2, 3, and 4 processors. Works Great. My only complaint is that it must have (for performance better than EDO) memory added 8 simms at a time, and FPM parity simms (the only thing it takes) are about 2x SDRAM prices.
    It is cool, it has 7 PCI slots (2 independant PCI buses) 5 EISA, Two (2) 550watt power supplies [works fine if one fails, other than an annoying beeper] 6 slot SCA (hot swap [almost] SCSI slots).
    The whole thing is a rack mount and has 9 big fans.
    An interesting thing is the CPU clock jumpers, it allows you to clock a pentium pro at anything up to 366Mhz. I have had no trouble running 4 ppro 166's at 266 Mhz, but I normally run at 200. (800 bogomips) I would love to try 4 PentiumPro Overdrive chips in it (333Mhz Xeon that fits socket 8)
