Even a 30MHz ARM feels significantly faster than a 300MHz Pentium when comparing RiscOS to Windows.
Well, that's probably beacuse windows is a bloated chunk of crap:P. It needs to be, beacuse if M$ makes your old computer seem slow, then 90% of the people out there will buy a new computer... and a new windows licens with it.
No one who would buy one of these boards would do it for the UI speed, witch dosn't really have much to do with the CPU.
I thought the whole point of ARM was for making low-power devices. Doesn't slapping one on an ATX board kind of defeat the purpose? I mean, people don't usually worry about power consumption in desktops, and the CPU fan isn't what makes that much noise.
And as far as 'low cost', if this board+chip is more then $60, it still won't beat out a AMD k6/Celeron or even a 'duron' solution in terms of price. And if the chips aren't faster then about 400mhz (well, or way faster in terms of ops/clock), Then they still loose to a k6/Celeron. How fast can these chips go, anyway? The fastest I've ever heard was 200mhz, has that changed?
Anyway, this might sound interesting to hardware geeks, but as far as a general purpose, cheap-ass server x86 still sounds like a better solution to me.

I KNOW THIS, THATS WHY IT'S FUNNY. Or at least its supposed to be. When I heard that I laughed out loud, since it was such a stupid thing to say. No one gets it, though.

Wake me up when you have a product please. I'm sure all of this would be interesting if I was a computer engineering researcher of physics, or if I wasn't expecting exponential improvement for the foreseeable future anyway. But nether I'm not.

Really, normaly I would take this occasion to bash him, since I am definetly in the Anti-ESR camp. But this time I'll just ask why. Why ESR, and not someone like Tim O'Relly who's actually taken a stand on the issues of patents directly? Is ESR even against patents? ESR's said time and time again that the only reason that open source should be used is because it produces better software, not because it's a 'good' thing, or whatever. Has ESR ever taken a stand against patents?
And secondly, what exactly has ESR done to even deserve this anyway? What has he done to deserve any of this? I mean, other then open his big yap, spit some obvious platitudes, and of course try to push is libertarian ideals onto the 'open source' movement.

Mad crazy high? um, before slashdot stopped allowing you to see other peoples Karma (a few weeks after it was instituted) Signal 11 had 249 Karma points. 49 is a very small number, and I'd bet that its probably in the bottom 10% - 20% of the regular slashdot posters karma.

Buy the domains off auctions, and then transfer control to another company. Transfer any domains you have right now, to. Bleed them of everything they have, they certanly deserve it.
The U.S. Gov never ran it. It was always contracted out to a corporate 3rd party.
Um, no. It used to be run by the national science institute or something like (Who's initials are also NSI). Domains used to cost $0, as well. They changed over in '93 or '94 or something.

Why would they have to pay rambus royalties if they are using SDRAM? Rambus is RDRAM.
Anyway, the board+chip is like $500 or so, so it wasn't cheap to begin with (a good x86 board+chip could be had for double digits)

Did you just pass CS100 or equivalent?
My CS101 class was just talking about how to you check your email and the history of the univecity and shit. Not that that matters at all...

Yuk. What a gross way to code. The best part of Java is that it doesn't allow those disgustapated techniques.
As opposed to extending like 20 interfaces? MI kicks ass. and every array in java is dynamic.

Really quick development of Server-side technology. You can make regular programs in Java, Applets are just gravy :)
Nice Microsoft = Evil Empire reference,
:P
Shouldn't that be Microsoft == Evil Empire? I mean, if you want to use code in sentances instaid of grammar, you should make sure your code is right
A frend of mine, who's a really hardcore programmer, Loves C++, I mean he paid for the C++ and enjoys reading it.
he read the spec, and he said it basicaly was java, with diffrent standard package names.
