I just updated my server which was an AMD 133 with somewhere around 56Mb. This past weekend I did an updgrade to a 400Mhz box. The AMD133 ran RH 7.3 as a windows file share on a different port. I used it to get around the block port and it ran ok. Good enoungh for one user. I still have a few 266s laying around, but they arent currently running. O, my fastest box is a PII450.
I had received a Zaurus SL5600 this past year. After awhile of searching for a wirelss card, I found the AmbiCom WL1100C-CF. The specs show about 1700 feet of outdoor range at 1mbps. I haven't tried kismet or other software of that sort, but its an excellent card. I have to figure out how to decrease the bitrate without iwconfig being installed.....
I've looked but couldn't find if they have fixed a problem with the nvidia chipset for the AMD platform. I've tried to boot from the previous version of Knoppix, and it died. Does anyone know if this has been fixed? I think this is a major bug and needs to get fixed.
I go to a decent size university (about 3000 students) they recently got hit by all the worms. Working for the computer services department, we were busy with the back to school issues and also with the worm. In creating our images, we have set the virus software to update daily around 9am (I think) with a randomization of about 3 hours. This was one defense against the worm.
Another defence was through the problem reports, since the campus provides computers for every dorm room. Upon submission of the problem, sometimes we would go reimage the system with the fix. Other times we would run some virus software to remove it and then the fix. After a few days, after we had figured out the fix, we sent out an email to the entire student body with the fix and with a removal program.
On the network end, port 139 is still currently blocked since that was one way that it spread. We have yet to totally get rid of the worms, but we are almost there.
With the other viruses, the server team quickly blocked all attachments with the pif extension, and a few others. This worm was pretty much stopped before it had a chance to grow on the network.
My university never shut down dorms or the network of any sort to stop the worm. We have maintained a active roll with virus software with our own ftp server for the definitions. Our server is also update twice a day to help prevent any more outbreaks.
Even though the worms were all acrossed campus, having many people work on the stopping and blocking the transmission of the worm, I think help keep my universitys network up.
The via board hinders the opteron. Instead of utilizing both on-chip memory controllers, it only uses one. You can see better results if you added a second set of memory banks for the second opteron to use.
There are more dual boards also including Tyans Thuder K8W. Rumor has it that nvidia will be coming out with a nforce chipset that will support dual opterons also.

So if this company can make mass chips out of diamonds, would the cost be higher than current silicon chips? Would the chips also come down in price, or would they stay highly expensive? They mentioned about mass production, but who would write the opcodes/operands for this chip? Would it be x86 compatible or PPC or would it be tottally different? They should also be thinking along those lines.
Why spent $170 for 256 megs of space? I can spent less than double and get a faster transfer (firewire compared with USB 1.1) and 10 gigs of space with an iPod. That just doesn't make cents. An iPod is a much better deal.
Since this is a pre-aplha machine, AMD does not want people to talk about specs. But, on the other hand they can talk about pi (3.14). To guard himself, this guy looks like he has put pi as the value of the MHz speed.
That can make a difference. If a company is monitoring and blocks certain web sites, say p0rn, they are rightly to do so. I can not see how that can have a negative impact on a workplace. I can also understand if a company wants to block activity of music share programs, I believe, they are rightly to do so. You are not paying for the bandwidth, they are.
I can also see that if a technology company (for example) blocks sites like slashdot (for example), that could possible be harmful. There seems to be a fine line of the control that is put into place and the up-keep of morale.
There is also a thing call respect and honesty. Yes, somethings can be done faster while at work without net monitoring, but is the company really getting what they are paying for? (that is the worker, and the product s/he produces)
The question is, "Is what I am doing honest towards the company or not?"
Being a CS student at a university, almost every semester we have to write a program or more on a linux server (I believe they are running RH 7.2 or 7.3). Thats for the first few CS classes, then in the upperclassmen classes, the servers are handled more for a few classes. Namely Network Security. Just think, if the students who took network security, also were RedHat certified, that would have a big impact on resumes. Looking at the description, I can see where this certification could come in handy for me or other CS students. I would take the class, if my university offered it. I could see that if CS took this certification, a job would almost be guarrenteed.
SUNNYVALE, CA-JANUARY 31, 2003-AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced that the worldwide introduction of its next-generation, 64-bit AMD Opteron(tm) processor for servers and workstations will take place on April 22 in New York City. AMD plans to follow up with the introduction of the AMD Athlon(tm) 64 processor for the desktop and mobile markets in September 2003
Quoting from a wise person...."Rob keep yourself on the bottom" not that way, but cherish your wife and love, esteem her, and look for her needs above your own.
Personally, I don't like alot of the mainstream music that is out today. So if I buy a *cough* gateway *cough* why would I want these music files? The top 2000 hits....Ummmmm I would rather not have that on my computer.
I once had an email that I didn't want. Before I knew it, my mailbox was full The emails were just a bunch of bull. Why or why do I get this spam? I don't even like the canned stuff, Thats just a bunch of fluff. I need to stop handing out my email. Chat rooms are to common of a place, to see my email all in lower case. Please tell my why I receive spam. Is it because I give it out? Or how do the sites get it when I roam about? O why, O why, do I receive so much spam?
Having to blow on the cartridges to get the games to work sometimes. This is a bonus, no cartridge to blow on. Plus you get the excellent games of yesteryear. I wonder if I will get this for Christmas...
When I first started making dynamic web pages, I used access. I used acces for various reasons. 1. It was on a computer at school. 2. I was running win 98 at the time. Not many good databases will run with 98. Even though I wanted a database to keep track of things, I only had one option.
Even though I layed out the database in access, I didn't touch access after the file was created. I then moved to personal web server (an all the security holes that creates) to manipulate the database through ASP.
I know there are many others that because of various reasons are unable to get their hands on other databases, if you get the fundementals of sql through access, you are able to understand the majority of sql statements having to deal with other databases. Even though,things do differ, you have somewhat of a foundation to understand sql.
that the women is always the boss in the Marriage. There are a few sayings that the husband should know and use often.
"I Love you" - Goes good with chocolate and roses
"I'm sorry"
"Your right"
I have found that the best way explaination is given with a Real Life Comic where they say the woman is always right. (sorry couldn't find it,but I know its there somewhere)
With multiple AIM accounts and an MSN account, the search for a program that would let be run all at one time was ended. I tried trillian,but I didn't like that as much as aim. On the other hand, I tried Gaim and enjoy it. Gaim makes it easy to manage accounts,msn, ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, and more.
Gaim is open-source and has some features (automatic logging of conversations) that I have not been able to find elsewhere. Try GAIM, its well worth it.
***OK, well the gui is made with GTK, but the features are rich***
This information is from a Giga Information Group perspective. - This is what they think.
There has been no "official" annoucement from Apple.
Its highly unlikely that Apple will go with two different chips. Story Here.
I think Apple will stick with a company that it knows, IBM, since they have been working together for years. It doesn't seem that Apple will just jump ship to the x86 platform. This would also mean redoing the Mac OS X code and optimization (not like they will have to do some anyway, but they will have to do more). It is highly unlike that Apple will go with a heat producing, energy wasting x86 Intel chip.

I know from carrying around my laptop that weight matters alot. This laptop seems somewhat heavy for its size
Inspirotion 15.4-inch Wide-Aspect SXGA+ and 15.4-inch Wide-Aspect UXGA display
Height: 1.52-inch (38.6 mm)
Width: 14.22-inch (361.2 mm)
Depth: 10.87-inch (276.1 mm)
Weight: 6.9 lbs. (2.96 kg) with travel module, battery and Harddrive. (Specs)
Compared to the PowerBook G4 (17" model)
Height: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)
Width: 15.4 inches (39.2 cm)
Depth: 10.2 inches (25.9 cm)
Weight: 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg) with battery and optical drive installed.
It seems that if Apple can make a laptop with a 17" screen that is 6.8lbs, Dell should be at least be able to get one that is lighter. (Specs)
