i let you appreciate...
my own conviction my opinion is that sysmark 2002 is a scam, designed to mislead consumers..
at the very least this benchmark is suspect and shouldn't be used anymore. there is a lot of others benchmarks. in the worst case it would cause no harm at all to not use this one anymore ?
why does tom insist to use sysmark 2002, even in its latest CPU reviews ?
eventually the tomshardware.com article is a translation of one that was wroten for the french tomshardware. the french version was as badly written (it sounds like it was written by young teens..)
what about objectivity:
they like xbox controller
they like munch's odyssey
they have very uncommon tastes indeed
gamecube is a console for young kids : what means ? 3-6 ?
their are factual errors everywhere in the article, a lot in the claims of the developper who seem not to know PS2 and gamecube..
i guess in france will see more and more enthusiastic pro-xbox stuff like that, especially with the xbox launch approaching.. most mainstream magazines being sold to microsoft (like Science et Vie Micro)..
The only thing holding them back is good centralized calendar software. Anyone know anything good? It doesn't have to be free.
We are evaluating Mioga, a GPLed groupware application that runs under GNU/Linux/Apache/mod_perl/mod_dav and includes shared folders, calendar, workflow and other features..
it's was written by Atrid, a french company, and was just translated into english.
i don't think you can speak of refresh rate as
we do with CRT monitor. because of its remanence, this screen doesn't have to be refreshed like the CRT has to be.
A. At today's level of development, electronic ink can change color from 1 to 10 times per second-already good enough for animation. To allow video rates, electronic ink would have to shift at 60 or more times per second. Scientists at E Ink are exploring advances in this area as part of ongoing research and development efforts.
the picture change rate = 1 to 10 Hz...
with such a refresh rate a CRT wouldn't be usable for anything (because of a flashing picture), but the paper LCD would be suitable
for low-framerate applications (not for video) and the picture should be rock-solid..

i saw a demo of this NeXT product in 1996. this was as amazing and advanced as every NeXT product were for their time.
because NeXT was bought by Apple this is now an Apple product. it could make a comeback with Macos X.
it seems to have been forgotten but i'm curious to know how it evolved. apparently hey're going from Objective-C to Java..
does anyone still use this software ?
did anyone evaluate this technology in the context of today ?
i know it's not opensource so no "it's closed software !!" flames please

toms still use sysmark 2002, a benchmark suite suspected to be purposely designed to favorise intel processors, see here:

according to IMDB, spiderman is 35 mm..
the original language of the article was french (and french version is available on tomshardware.fr), and in french the sentence is:
"Pour mémoire, le processeur de la PS2 ne tourne qu'à 250 MHz, même si les deux ne sont pas comparables."
that should roughly translate to:
"As a matter of fact, the PS2 processor is only 250MHz, even if the two are not comparable. "
even the online translator reverso (http://www.reverso.net) gave a better translation.. ("Pour mémoire" => "For the record")..
it's almost as valuable as this popular science article (hint: not worth toilet paper.)
