Once again, HP users take it up the ass. Real Networks, Macromedia, Quicktime for Linux, id, etc.. fscking Microsoft at least does IE for HPUX, f'chrissakes. Why the fsck is it accepted "Unix == (Sun || Linux || IRIX)? I'm almost getting used to getting bent over my console[0]. Judas...

I just cant understand that you Amercans can take this 'Big Brother thing' without hitting back in some way! Just dont vote for those stupid politicians that are pushing for these no-crypto-and-total-control-over-the-people stuff!
The problem is you're (we're) preaching to the (mostly) converted. A rather large segment of our country is perfectly willing to let the govt gets its hands in anything and everything it can. A large chunk of our society thinks it deserves whatever it can get from the govt and it perfectly happy (or at least complacent) to hand over its money, support and even individual freedom to attain that support. Tell some welfare luser in the projects about a new way for Uncle Sam to spy on them.. most won't care as long as that support check keeps coming.
I attended a 'HP and IA64' seminar almost 1.5 years ago when IA64 was 'only a year away' from release to initial developers and whatnot (of course which has all slipped horribly). They made a point at the time of their support for IA64 but were still following their own chip development path (the PA8x00) in the event 'something happened.' At the time the 8500 was not released (it was pending in the C360), and the charts used in their little presentation showed a few chips beyond the 8500, 'should they need to be sent to fab if IA64 slips or tanks.' Doing goofy things like adding 2nd FPUs in the chip, restructuring pipelines for better execution, etc... now they have things like the C3000 out, with a 400Mhz 8500, 2Gb/sec bus, etc etc...
It also was a point these steps would narrow the performance gap between the PA8x00 chips & Merced. It makes sense to me (as an HP customer) they make this claim. As to the design infulence issue, I do know Merced was under way when HP joined the fray. It would not suprise me. But I also remember with HP's influence Merced is (was?) supposed to be binary-compatible with PA and they planned major performance boosts with its successor.
Their (stated) primary reason for joining IA64 was because design & fab costs to do all this in-house was just killing them. The 8500 was fabbed by Intel for HP, though HP still did the design. This, of course, is no suprise to anyone.. but it did suprise me how candid the HP rep was about all this. It just screamed 'DOJ probe' all over.
(shit, I wish I still had all the info from that meeting... I think I just tossed it all last week in a fit of weakness and office cleaning. filed under the 'meet what time schedule?' section..)
If this is employment.. I am in the wrong friggin place. Calgon, take me away.

BO2K cracked
·
· Score: 2
Microsoft has only issued only a warning, refusing to admit that there might be security vulnerabilities in WinNT.
To me, this is more serious than the BO2k release itself. Denial of any problems makes it very hard to solve them.
(I'd love to go into the 'you shouldn't even be able to install such tools under a proper or well-protected OS' thread, but then I'm not really feeling like Mr. Unix Snob this particular morning.)

Linux 2.2.10

· Score: 1
ARRRRGH!
From KernelNotes - 09-Jun-99: I'm leaving to drive to Arizona today which will take about a week. Expect some delays for the 2.3.6 and 2.2.10 changelists. Sorry.
I mean, come on now... let's start seeing an option to transfer mp3 files to the bloody things via ethernet, usb, firewire, etc... but for the love of God get away from that pathetic parallel interface!
ppt tape drives, zip drives, camera interfaces, mp3 player interfaces.. let's just go back to skins, fire and rock tools, shall we? "NEW PARALLEL PORT 19000 RPM ULTRA SOOPER DOOPER HARD DISKS!!!! " *heave*

I've been meaning to stroll across the street and genuflect before the Cray sometime.. looks like I may have an even better reason to drop by there.
Maybe I should go back to school... wait, wtf am I saying?!?

I've been job-hunting in the Charolette area and I'd like to know if I'm moving to a hot zone before I actually go there.
.. though if a nearby plant went tragic, I could at least save on night lights and read by the glow of my fingernails.
