  1. Won't boot with empty IDE-Zip (non-Atapi!!) on Linux Kernel 2.2.14 · · Score: 1

    Okay, first of all I have to admit that I did not yet try out either 2.2.14pre18 nor the final one but somewhere between 2.2.14pre12 and 2.2.14pre16 the kernel lost the ability to boot my PC if I do not insert a medium into my IDE-Zip!! I get lots of "Lost interrupt" messages during probing of that device. It's not a show-stopper but unnerving. Any ideas what caused this change in behaviour?

    Cheers

    What version of Windows? w95 has some known
    problems with K6 > 300MHz. A patch only exists
    for W95B.

  4. Re:Anyone heard of Zope? on Code Fusion for Linux: Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess you are messing up "Code Fusion" with "Cold Fusion". "Code Fusion" is an integrated development environment (IDE) while "Cold Fusion" like "Zope" is an web application server/platform.

    Yep, that was SWAN.

    Try it out again... This project has developed a breathtaking development speed!

    G400 (the dual-head ones) have TV-Out

    Funny... I own one since January.

  11. "Buses considered harmful" on Linux Kernel 2.4 out by this Fall? · · Score: 1

    This reminds of "the PSA, the Python Software Activity, which was originally formed in response to a thread on the Python newsgroup, which posed the semiserious question: "What would happen if Guidowas hit by a bus?" Guido van Rossum still manages most new developments in Python, but the PSA and Python's user-base help support the language, work on extensions, etc. Given Python's popularity, and the PSA infrastructure, bus attacks seem less threatening now; of course I can't speak for Guido..."

    So what about a "Linux Software Activity Group"?

  12. Re:Is the K7 slower then the K6-III in int on K7 Benchmarking · · Score: 1

    Okay, I'm only guessing, but this could be caused
    by the difference between the full speed level-2
    cache of K6-III vs the 1/2 speed one of K7.

  14. Re:where's the beef ? on K7 Benchmarking · · Score: 1

    On paper K7's FPU looks VERY promising, and
    the first benchmarks seem to indicate the same.
    Let's hope it will not suffer too much when
    running code optimized for Intel's range of
    processor.
