Most Go software research has been focusing on neural nets. Neural nets use floating point in most implementations, so I'd guess the P4 would come out on top.
It's interesting to note that Go seems to be a much harder game for a computer to be good at.
I think you're right. With this device, you'ld wind up pointing at a lot of things that don't have web services. With GPS, you just pull up a map and see all the available services in the area.
GPS still is the next big thing, IMHO. The applications of location based services are huge.
lol, I just clicked on the link to your site to see that you've run out of bandwidth. Do us all a favour and report back how many hits whining on slashdot gets you!
Well, this is exactly what this thread is about, the fact that this has now been fixed. I was as pissed of as the AC parent when I bought my A7N8X.
I've been a longtime nvidia fan, but after the 3dMark fiasco (aplication specific optimization my ass), and then this, I'll be spending my $$ elsewhere. You reading this nvidia???
Some of us are doing 'serious' 3D work. The combo of linux and OTS hardware is very powerful. Medical imaging, GIS, CAD, etc. It doesn't hurt that you can stick in the Gentoo UT2003 boot disk after work, either.
As someone who has been struggling with this issue for a while now, maybe others will find this helpfull. I have a Radeon9700 Pro, and a A7N8X mobo. Other combos might or might not have the same probs, although it seems that many similar combos do.
First you need to compile it against 2.4.20. The agpgart patch (as written) will not patch 2.4.21. If you manually apply it, the compile will fail. If you remove the line 'agp_bridge.num_of_masks = 1' from the diff, it will compile, but DRI still wouldn't work for me.
Unpack 2.4.20, apply the agpgart patch, compile, boot. Now 'make clean' in each individual directory in the nforce driver dir, make clean at top level leaves object files lying around. Then make,install. All should be good. ~6000fps in glxgears.
Don't bother applying the ac patches against 2.4.20 to get native nforce IDE support, this will break the DRI. Instead put 'hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1/dev/hda' in your startup somewhere. The end result is the same.
I'm finally happy on the bleeding edge. I didn't have to set 4x AGP, but others have to.
Who said it was 'artsy fartsy'? Yes, we've learn't the math, and the data structures, and the algorithims, so what? I write code. I write code to solve specific problems.That does not make me a scientist. Why do CS folks get so defensive about this? I never meant to imply that science has no relation to computers, of course it does, just that people who code are much closer to carpenters or civil engineers than scientists.
I agree. Any field that needs to put the word 'science' in it's name, probably isn't. We all know that writing code is about experience, and knowing the tricks of the trade, not research and brilliance. I think coding should be taught as a trade, with apprentiship programs and the like.
Not only is this a dupe, as many people have already pointed out, it's a really boring story. Worlds largest scale model. Wow. Of the solar system. Cool.
Ummm...How exactly does a 'major rewrite' of the kernel happen without us (read kernel devs/hackers) knowing about it? It's not like anything to do with linux is 'secret' or under NDA's. Is Linus going to find the free time to rewrite several million lines of code?
Linux is _not_ever_ going to undergo a major change. Kernel development is a one way street, and you simply can't throw it all out and start again, as then it wouldn't be linux. That's not to say that we won't see changes, just that we'll see them coming from a long way away.
IIRC, when solving the travelling salesperson problem the number of DNA molucules needed is an exponent of the number of points in the graph, so even a few hundred points would require a universe of DNA.p?
Still, it's a great proof of concept.
Nowhere else on the web will someone pipe up with an authoritive opinion on a subject, and the experience to back it up. "I worked in watermelon shipping warehouse in Japan for a while"Christ.
For those of you with nforce chipsets who have non-nvidia graphics cards, this link will give you agpart support. It's the new release of the linux drivers. It's not linked to from the nvidia.com main page, for some reason, but it works.
I think, Mr. AC, that pythons 'constrained syntax' is exactly what makes it a great first language. There might be 'more than one way to do it' in many other languages, but when your learning to code, you don't need all that confusion.
If all you do is read/. on your dial up connection, then fine, you don't need broadband. The rest of us are chewing up 3+ gigs a day doing a hell of a lot more. I am;
Running web servers, game servers, swapping files, downloading video from work, doing CVS checkouts, downloading ISOs, uploading ISOs, looking at porn, streaming audio, oh, and reading/. All while chatting on the phone. What's the big deal with broadband!? I'd sell my firstborn before going back.

No, we didn't have to use the PCI bus, we just couldn't get acelerated graphics (read;3D) on our cards.
Yes, but violators better be aware of the DMCA if they ever plan to visit the U.S, remember Dmitry Sklyarov?
IIRC, you could do that with Doom (the original) also.
Fuck linking to NYT. Why the hell are so many /. articles from NYT anyway, when it causes grief to so many of us?

Well, if I could lick my own genitals, I'd be my own best friend, too.
Are you suggesting that the 'internet' as we know it is the best of all possible 'internets'?

And you sir, are blessed beyond all others. Python is the perfect first language.

This isn't flamebait, stupid moderator. There are 20 good arguments as to why a kid would be better of learning Python than Perl.
