Did you just read the headline on the slashdot home-page, then post? Its seems that way, because there was no game of ping-pong in any of the screen shots. Unless you consider placing ping-pong balls on mouse traps and having them trigger each other, a game.
I'm really getting sick of that Nasa guy spamming me with his e-mail address every time I bring up my 3c509 3com NIC card. Where will we draw the line?
IIRC you can be under 18 years of age and still use napster. What about all those people who are 18 that like to download public domain music? There is a lot of great stuff that I wouldn't have been able to get if a CC# was needed, since I caved in 4 months ago and got a Visa (just for EverQuest).
We know the data is safe because they are using the Super Secure(tm) Windows NT 4.0 operating system. Oh yeah, it is also in its prime state for high security, being it not connected to a network and all.
We would need some type of distributed computing client to do the defrag. It would take the time of the universes existence to defrag that thing with a 7th generation x86 CISC CPU.
No, when running a process on a Windows 2000 box such as Quake II that doesn't do SMP, Windows 2000 will put the non-SMP program on its own processor. "Load Balancing"
So this is basically saying that a kid can download an exploit that will let him see porn.
Well, we have to shutdown rootshell.com and censor 2600 when they post code for exploits.
This is insane. If you write crap code and people crack your software (I don't mean warez), you should get better programmers. This is nonsense. How many little kids would know how to do this? If the parents really cared they would be in the room with the kids while they were browsing the net.
What I did was get a niche cert. I am a proud owner of an HP-UX certification. I also have my CNE, and I'm working on my CCIE (cisco). I get great jobs doing HP-UX administration (which isn't so bad if you bring a gameboy).
What took you all so long ? SMP on a single chip is an obvious advance
1 terahertz is an obvious advance too. Just because its obvious doesn't make it easier. I'm sure that IBM has had prototypes of dual chips on one die before. They wanted the 7000 series(G4) of the Power PC chips to have a high end model that was 4 processors in the processors core. It is just hard to do. Just like it is hard to write an operating system that will make Non-SMP programs utilize SMP. Windows 2000 has "load-balancing" where it will run processes that are processor intensive on the chip that isn't running the OS.
"...will operate at upward of 2 gigahertz. It will be called the Power4, will use a.18 micron fab process, and feature on-chip L2 cache (supposedly quite large, though no numbers mentioned), and bus speeds of 500Mhz..."
Power 4::
2+ gigahertz Dual processor on one dies 500mhz bus LARGE L2 cache (I would imagine 2-4mB 64 bit
-------------------------------
x86 CPU's::
1+ gigahertz One processor on die 200mhz bus (I don't recall the bus of the willamette) 512kB-2mB L2 cache 32 bit
This not something you will see on Toms Hardware. Clockspeed isn't everything. A 500mhz 21264 DEC Alpha is MUCH faster than a 500mhz PIII. The Power4 is not a desktop processor. Compaq will not ship computers with the Power4 processor in them. People need to understand this! When was the last time you saw a benchmark that was PIII vs. RS/6000? I have only seen it once, and that was the PIII Xeon compared to other server hardware namely from Sun and DEC. That was on Intels site.
How would you overclock a "production (by production I mean RS/6000 AS/400 type proprietary machines)" type server? This isn't some BX motherboard with clock speed jumpers. You could "Kryotech" it, but I think there would be vast amounts of cooling already being it 2 chips on one die running at 2 gigahertz even with a.18 micron fabrication.
Second of all, good luck on coming up with the cash to buy one. Even if where you worked got one they would still keep it under lock and key tighter than Fort Knox (to all you non-US people, Fort Knox is a place owned by the Treasury department where lots of precious metals are stored. It is locked up pretty tight.). I'm a super user for my network at work, and I'm not even allowed near some of the boxes we have.
I understand where they are coming from, but they don't even look at any other problems first. They get dumbfounded by it not working after the reboot.
MCSE Reflexes ------------------- Client:: Help help! I can't access my directory on the server
MCSE man:: Uh... Keep rebooting... are you sure you selected Start->Shutdown? Because you know if you didn't do that you messed up and windows won't work.
[CNE man enters]
CNE man:: Did you type in your Windows 98 password correctly?
Client:: Yes. [2 seconds]
CNE man:: I will BRB!
[CNE man checks to see if the user has been deleted from the NT server. 2 mintues (gotta let the monitor warm up (NO termial server HERE!))]
[CNE man adds the users rights to his folder. 3 minutes]
[CNE man curses the MCSE people who don't know how to roll over servers correctly. 100 years]
DISCLAIMER:: This is an acutal occurence. I went on vacation and the boss wanted to put the data from the file server into a faster machine. So MCSE men didn't give the users the correct access rights. I currently do not run Novell Netware on any of my servers. I have to deal with NT and Win98. Yes... I know 98 and NT are like oil and water, but I have a budget.
I moderated this one up because everyone should read what this guy has to say. I have my CNE. I am working on my CCIE.
When I would go for an interview people would look at my resume and ask why I have my CNE, and not my MCSE. I snap right back at them, "Knowing what is needed to know to have a CNE gives me an unparallel understanding of Engineering Network Systems. Being an MCSE would give me an unparallel understanding of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination." They understood.
I work with 3 MCSE's. They are tools. They might as well have been the models for the MCP dolls. I'll reviece a call about a server going down, or a workstation being kicked off the network, and their first reaction is to just reboot the system. Nevermind the fact that it is a production server. A server that people are accessing important E-Mail, or data from.
I don't blame them. Thats just what they were taught.
More sorrow than love?

Date Pagers
·
· Score: 4
Think about it, you are walking down the street.. your "date pager" goes off... you look around for the other person, only to find that he/she is not exactly what you are looking for in a person "physically" speaking. I tend to go for more of a dark haired 5 feet 8 inches type of woman.
What will happen when you have to say, "We both like Quake, Slashdot, Linux, and GCC. But I'm still not going to date you".
I know what you people are going to say, "It's not the looks that matters, but the personality". You are right, but we as humans are shallow slime. I would be ther first person to admit that I speak to members of the opposite sex b/c they are good looking. I met my current girlfriend that way. It just kind of worked out that we had a lot in common.
Its also nice to have differences too. I would get really bored waking up every morning to coffee and a conversation of the finer points of TCP/IP.
My girlfriend likes to go outside. I like to play on my computer. I have introduced her to the fine art of deathmatching, and she introduced me to a bright shining star that hangs above my house for 10 hours a day (the sun).
All I'm saying is that you will find better relationships with people that don't have the exact same opinions that you do.
The only good thing that I can see out if this is finding more Quake III Arena buddies.
I came to this point one night. Why aren't we using light? Light is faster! Eventually we will be limited to the speed of electricity.
Then I realized that you can't escape electricity. You would have to convert the light beams with optical switching sooner or later in the computers, and that would be an insane performance decrease.
You cannot escape the fact that memory will always run on electricity. It just isn't practical to come up with a type of memory that is based on storing light.
Also you run into the problems with refraction and the fact that if you want to make sure that each light beam doesn't interfere with the other beams during a processor cycle you would have to make the processor very large so you could sheild the indivudual light beams with an opaque material. Also, lasers get very hot. Its just not practical.
It matters which RAID you want to run. I run a RAID V (5) system on my server at work, and I view it as only serving a purpose, not gaining speed. Now if you had multiple hard drives what were exactly the same size, and a RAID controller with 32mb of cache you would get a performance increase. If you are serious about performance get a real nice controller. If you want to hack some hardware try this out.
This is not a JOKE! Did you read the source code for the page? Its a Visual Basic script that reads the information in your swap file and transferes it to the lab at microsoft. This way they can steal your OSS project that you are running. Just do an IFCONFIG and see all those extra packets running through your internet conneciton! I'm SERIOUS!
Oh lord, I cant believe that I woke up this morning going to my router typing 'ifconfig' and seeing that there were a lot more packets transmitted than usual. I'm hopeless. At current count 187293100 packets.
"I" before "E" except after "C", except with an "A (sound)" as in "Neighbor" and "Weigh". Except on thrusdays and all throught May. You will always be wrong no matter what you say.

Judge Dredd would have used C.
every video game franchise has
yet to find a script worth shooting
I'd shoot the Wing Commander script over and over again.... with my Uzi.
We know the data is safe because they are using the Super Secure(tm) Windows NT 4.0 operating system. Oh yeah, it is also in its prime state for high security, being it not connected to a network and all.
Anything formatted with FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS is a dead media... or at least they will be in due time...
400-600TB?
We would need some type of distributed computing client to do the defrag. It would take the time of the universes existence to defrag that thing with a 7th generation x86 CISC CPU.

The Correct HadouKen performed by RYU and Ken from the Street Fighter series is ::
::
:: [Down], [Diagonal Down+forward], [Forward+lowpunch,medpunch,or highpunch]
The speed of your HadouKen is determined by the power you want. Low speed = High Power and vice versa.
