It's good to see that SGI didn't dump the MIPS processor, and there remains that diversity in the market. If everyone abandoned their own processors it would be a bit of a nightmare.
Heaven help us if we ever end up faced with one (or two) choice(s) of CPU... .. the Intel Lada 1.2 or the Intel Lada 1.3....
Wasn't that just a question of economics rather than technology? Given that they couldn't afford to feed themselves, how do you suppose they were going to afford all that kerosene?
It's good to see that the BBC is not completely clueless and oblivious to everything's that's going on in the world, even if the have to steal other agencies' news.
Well, maybe one day I'll save up and buy an TV, and get a TV licence after all...
I work for a company that for "nuclear safety issues" would rather use OS/2 and Lan Server or Win NT than anything else...
We have a SPARC workstation for certain jobs, and upgraded to Slolaris 2.6 a while back. We needed a new key for some graph-plotting software that we had (bear in mind they will not use Free Software because "it's Shareware and all Shareware has viruses") since we'd chaned the OS version, and they wanted to charge us 600 UKP!
NT software doesn't have such restrictions, does it?
Non-invasive brain input has been about for years...
The BBC triumphs again. It's a wonder we even have electricity in Britain. Perhaps soon, the BBC will announce that someone has "invented" the alternator or something...
As a humble British person (where we don't have TV Bible-bashers), who doesn't even own a TV set (becasue they're obsolete and one must pay a license fee to fund public TV+radio if you own a TV, but not a radio (-go figure, I can't))
can someone point me to a website where I can experience this "Pat Robertson" I keep hearing about at first hand?

I thought the only way you could get a Celeron to SMP was by souldering on some extra wires and stuff?

So, the Free Church of Scotland has made it on to the internet!
The moths might be getting let out of the old sporran one of these days!

I just voted for MIPS...

my 2p's worth:

Just a thought.
PPP doesn't work for me on this release but it does on 2.0.36
My setup *blush*:
P100, triton II, 512KB cache, 64MB
+ 1.2GB disk +V90 modem on "com 2"
My 2p's worth
Poor wee Pluto.
*blush* I'm running Slackware at the moment. It's what I started on back in '95 and I like it because the packages are nice and simple .tgz files :)
I've got Debian, Redhat and Caldera CDs (amongst others) but only for the extra apps.
I don't like that RPM thing having too much control. Being hard of thinking, I never could figure out what it was doing. pkgtool seems to do the biz.
*yawn*

Do those guys still exist?
What century are they from?

I enjoy a good bit of comedy.
Thanks.
