  1. Re:NO! on XFree86 News · · Score: 1

    My cheapo Belinea 15" will do 12x10...I use 10x7 because I want at least 85hz

    Most new 17" (esp. Iiyama) will do 16x12

    VMPro 450 19" will do 1800x1440

    And so on...maybe t's time you looked at new monitors

  2. Re:when a black hole finally evaporates... on New Heavy Ion Collider could "destroy the earth" · · Score: 1

    It has to have the mass/energy of a million H bombs to do that. A Hole with the m/e of two gold nuclei will just make a pretty spark.... 4.something Mev per atomic mass x about 170 x 2, about 1.5Tev.... 1.5 x 10^12. 1 eV = 10^-19 joules. 1 watt for a ten-millionth of a second.

    Whoop-de-whoop.

    Unless it's Gev per atomic mass, in which case it'll be 1000x more powerful.

  4. Re:what about Alpha? on Merced Design Completed · · Score: 1

    I understood that the K7 would be released with 512K half-speed cache, with the chip able to support up to *8*MbL2 cache, theoretically able to run at clock speed.

    'Course, that would pull enough watts bake Pizza inna PC, but the idea of an 8-way array of 8mb K7s...

    'Undocumented features', surely?

  6. Re:Linux=Desktop and Small Server, Not Enterprise on Microsoft Janus · · Score: 1

    If Linux borrowed features from the Unices and MS is trying to catch up with those Unices, then MS is also trying to catch up with Linux Q.E.D.

  7. Re:I'll buy that on Microsoft Janus · · Score: 1

    Right. Like there's nothing to learn with NT/Back Office/ SQl Server....I picked everything *I* know from 2 newspaper articles, and my network is running sweet.

    Don't go to Cambridge, it's awful! Come live in West Yorkshire instead: we have a proper IT boom in Leeds and the beer is better.

    hadn't realised the EU was an oppresive govt as (1) it's not a govt and (2) all it's members are social democracies of one flavour or another and (3) the EU per se couldn't oppress a nursery school.

  14. Re:It's a giant game of chicken on Intel Undercuts AMD · · Score: 1

    I suspect AMD will have no problem sellig every K7 they can Fab. People have been waiting for a truly viable non-Intel chip for quite a while; also most of the OEMs are quite aware of the need for an alterative CPU supplier.

  15. Re:I Will not pay the AMD Tax! on Intel Undercuts AMD · · Score: 1

    And when AMD go down I'll be laughing at you paying $800 for a mid-range CPU.
