  1. Re:Flash Based Sites vs Search Engines, etc on Macromedia Pushes Flash For All Things Web · · Score: 1
    So you can still use meta tags on flash web pages and I think flash works best in combanation with HTML. Notice that Macromedia.com is both flash AND HTML?

    "Sites that are truly accessible should be usuable and navigable via lynx+a text reader."

    Did you post this from your 486?

  2. Re:This article is a perfect example... on Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II · · Score: 1

    The Reg usually makes for an interesting read
    The Inquirer is a good source for AMD/Intel roadmaps and bleeding edge tech news.
    Anandtech is not updated that often but the often have the best coverag and reviews of new products and technologies.
    I don't visit Toms Hardware often but it is another good source for benchmarks and reviews.

  6. Re:Dual channel DDR has the same bandwidth as Ramb on Glimpses of the Future from the Intel Developer Forum · · Score: 1

    And RDRAM is good for bandwidth and it clocks well but it has a more latent read time then SDRAM. Intel is moving to a quad pumped 133 FSB (533 MHz) and I don't think they have will be pushing RDRAM in the near future. AMD however does own a RAMBUS licence and may use it for it's Hammer. Rambus is now working on a dual channel 4.2GB "RIMM 4200" module and I don't know what the current max throughput is for the current DDR 333. AMD's 266 FSB will not currently take full advantage of DDR 333 but the addional bandwidth can be used be devices with DMA (direct memory access) as well, the downside is that there is some performance loss having the ram run out of sync with the CPU. AMD hs the capibility to up the FSB but is holding off for marketing reasons.
    There are some fragmented thoughts, anyone have a link to a well written article detailing the current state of the technology?

  11. The Discovery channel.. on Lots of Ice On Mars · · Score: 1

    I watched a special on the Discovery channel abut meteors, it had some insightful information on meteors and some near-misses in the past, if you get a topographical map of the earth and remove all the trees, water, and man made stuff, what's left makes the moon look like glass. The Earth has been hit my multiple meteors and even since the presence of the human race we have had some near devastating close calls, we don't currently have enough centers/people to monitor the entire sky for meteors, but it is a likely case that a one could cause the destruction of the human race unless we populate another planet as well to ensure the survival of the species.

    There are actually a few ideas in progress to melt the ice and Terriform Mars so that the climate is sufficient to support human life.

    Anyone hear about Micsosofts plans with XP SP1?
    I just thought you all would like to know but what are the odd of getting Taco to post such info to the main page? What about Morpheus being down meaning it's not actually even real p2p debunking nearly their entire defence strategy? I guess it's only posted if it's good news for the open source linux hippies in the world. /. is yellow journalism for unrealistic open source hippies.
