  2. Some suggestions for the Linux community on Wozniak Unveils WozNet · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hi,

    I've always used Windowz and I consider myself an exceptional Visual
    Basic programmer, so I know computers pretty good. In fact I got an A-
    in my programming class last term. But I'm a little wary of how much
    power Microsoft has in the computer field. Many of my friends use
    RedHat and I've recently installed it on my machine at home. Although
    I haven't had as much chance to play with it as I'd like, I've been
    greatly impressed.

    This weekend I gave some thoughts to the things that are wrong with
    Linux. I hope no one minds having some flaws pointed out. I'd like to
    help make RedHat stronger so it can conquer MS. Hopefully RedHat will
    hear this (crossing fingers) and address these. I think with a little
    effort, RedHat's Linux can defeat Microsoft's Windows! :)

    To begin with, there are too many different flavors of RedHat.
    Browsing a list on Amazon, I saw they made varients under the
    codenames of Mandrake, Debian and Slackware, just to name a few. I
    know that I'm very new to RedHat so maybe this is obvious but it seems
    like RedHat should just sell a few different flavors of its operating
    system. Perhaps one for the desktop and one for a server? Could
    someone explain why RedHat produces dozens of different versions of
    Linux?

    Secondly did you know that anyone can view the source code to Linux! I
    think that RedHat shouldn't make its code available. After all, what
    keeps Microsoft from stealing RedHat's ideas and putting it into
    Windows? My friend says that FreeBSD stole the TCP/IP stack from DOS a
    long time ago and Microsoft is always looking for revenge for that.
    Plus it seems to me like RedHat is just giving away its ideas for
    free. And what keeps hackers or terrorists from tampering with the
    code and putting a virus in every computer?

    On a related note, why doesn't RedHat write Linux in assembly? My
    friend says that's what Microsoft does for Windows, and that's why
    Windows is faster and more stable than Linux.

    Next RedHat definitely should kill -9 (ha, ha!) the command line.
    Microsoft finally gave up DOS when Windows 2000 came out. I'm suprised
    that RedHat hasn't migrated away from...whatever its version of DOS is
    called (Bash, I think?) But maybe this is planned for a future
    release?

    Finally Linux needs games! RedHat will never be successful in the home
    without games. They should also tell M$ to release a version of Office
    for Linux too. And Internet Explorer!

    Have a nice day! Go Linux!!

  3. Disappointed with McIntosh :(( on Ars Technica Interviews 970 Designers · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've heard many good things about the McIntosh recently, and my family
    and I decided we needed to buy a new computer to replace our old
    Windows machine. Having heard of its ease of use, we decided to go the
    McIntosh route. We recently purchased an 800 mHz G4, with OSX. We
    thought we were getting a good deal. But unfortunately things turned
    out quite different.

    Upon putting together the system we discovered that our mouse appeared
    the be broken. Although it wasn't cracked or shattered, it only had
    one button. When I spoke with our McIntosh dealer, we were told that
    the upgrade to a real two-button mouse would require more money.
    Apparently the mice with one button were only a "trial version" of the
    hardware. I feel that this is a very deceptive practice on Apple's
    part, and have written a letter to the Better Business Bureau to
    protest this. I felt as though I'd bought a car but to make it go past
    35mph we'd have to pay more money!

    Rather than pay the exhorbitant sum of money for a real mouse, I went
    to CompUSA and bought one out of my own pocket.

    Strike one for McIntosh!

    Secondly, one of the reasons that we went with McIntosh is because its
    new OS was based on the Linux kernel. Since my company uses Linux
    heavily (and its an OS I'm highly familiar with) I thought it would be
    nice to be able to run my work applications at home. Imagine my shock
    upon hearing that McIntosh was actually based on an incompatible fork
    of Linux - a fork known as BSD. Since our computers at work ran Linux
    - and not BSD - it was clear that I'd be unable to compile them on my
    Apple! Strike two for McIntosh.

    The final straw came last night. I received an email from a friend
    alerting me to numerous holes in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. When I
    went to MS' home page to download a patch
    (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downlo ads/cri tical/q321232/default.asp),
    I was stunned to see this patch only applies to Windows machines!
    Given the tiny user base of McIntosh, apparently software patches
    aren't made frequently - if at all - for McIntosh. I refuse to use an
    OS that is as ridden with holes as swiss cheese. Thus I'm going to be
    returning my McIntosh and purchasing a Windows XP box.

    I hope this message reaches someone at McIntosh headquarters. Maybe
    their CEO, Steve Ballmer(?) will get this and fix their business
    practices. Until such changes are made, however, I fear that McIntosh
    will continue to be a bit player in the computer world.

    Thank you for your time,

  4. PHP's superiority over Perl on Military DNA Registry Used in Criminal Case · · Score: -1

    Fellow Slashdot readers,

    Recently I've had a chance to do some web design with PHP. Previously
    I'd used Perl because I'd heard from many people that Perl was the end
    all and be all of scripting languages for the web. Imagine my suprise
    to discover that PHP was vastly superior! I know this is a bold
    statement, but I have solid arguements to support it.

    Before I begin, let me just clarify something. I'm not arguing that
    PHP is better than Perl in all cases. There is certainly still a use
    for Perl. Also, PHP isn't perfect but it does manage to fix many of
    the shortcomings I've had with Perl. Here are a few of the things I've
    noticed about PHP. Finally, I'm not the most talented Perl programmer
    out there. I generally prefer to use the vastly superior Python, but
    can use Perl if I have to.

    * Ease of use. After about a day I had an excellent understanding of
    both PHP and SQL. I was able to get a stable, useable and presentable
    website up within 24 hours of reading the basics of PHP. Learning Perl
    took me weeks and I'm still not even as good with it as I am with PHP.
    I would definitely not recommend anyone new to programming begin with
    Perl.

    * The OO of PHP is excellent. In my experience, it rivals Smalltalk.
    We all know that Perl's OO still needs work (whether or not OO is all
    that great is another discussion.) Hopefully Perl will be patched up
    so it supports such must-have OO features like introspection,
    reflection, self-replication and ontological data-points.

    * Outstanding database support. PHP supports virtually every DB under
    the sun (although Berkeley DB is missing, oddly enough.) Perl seems
    limited to MySQL and PostgreSQL, and its really a kludge for the
    later. I've heard that this will be fixed in upcoming versions of Perl
    though.

    * Speed. PHP is one of the fastest languages I've ever used. While it
    won't be replacing assembly or C, its definitely faster than Perl in
    almost every case, particularly in regex which has long been Perl's
    strongest point. I'm sure there are cases where Perl is equal to PHP,
    but I can't think of any at the moment.

    * Portability. I can take PHP code off my Linux box and plop it onto
    an IIS server, or even one of those new Macintosh servers and have it
    run without having to change a single line of code. Try doing this
    with Perl! Its as though it was written in assembly, Perl requires
    that much rewriting.

    * Graphics. PHP comes with a nice little graphics library. While I
    wouldn't use its to code the new Doom (VB would be a better choice)
    its adequate for most web pages, and should be considered as a
    substitute for Flash for certain things. Perl lacks a graphics library
    of any kind.

    * Data Structures. Under PHP you can create any type of datastructure
    you need: Linked lists, binary trees, hash tables, queues, inverse
    Reiser-biased recursion trees, etc. Under Perl you're extremely
    limited in what you can do. This is because Perl isn't OO (so you
    can't create Node classes, for example, usefull in a linked list) and
    because it lacks pointers. Some of you may notice that PHP lacks
    pointers, but look deeper! Behind the scenes, hidden from the user
    pointers are used. Because of this, PHP can support complex data
    structures.

    Again this is just my experience. I don't mean to offend any Perl
    coders because Perl was an excellent language. However, in certain
    cases it may behoove one to write the back end in PHP instead of Perl.

  22. In case it gets slashdotted on P4 3.2GHz Reviews · · Score: -1

    Once again, Intel has decided to turn up the heat on their arch rival, AMD. In a sort of digital ying-yang, the battle for Performance Desktop and Workstation Processor leadership, presses on relentlessly. Like opposite yet mutual compliments, Intel releases the 3GHz P4 with 800MHz system bus and AMD lets fly with the Athlon XP 3200+. It's almost like nature intended it to be, isn't it? As Intel and AMD duke it out, in an effort to out class the competition, the end user community enjoys yet another incremental performance enhancement. Not to mention a nice cost reduction usually comes along, with what was formerly high end product now mainstream, due to these brisk product maturity cycles.

    Our last look at AMD's latest product left us questioning AMD's performance rating somewhat. Although AMD's new Athlon XP 3200+ branding logically claims to have significantly better performance than the 3.0GHz P4, our testing showed that it was about on par with Intel's latest 3GHz chip, winning some and losing some, in various rounds of testing of our benchmark suites. This is the risk AMD runs, branding a product relative to performance, rather than an easily understood clock speed figure. Intel's approach however, on this new product release of the 3.2GHz P4 is pretty straight forward. It doesn't take a degree in Quantum Physics to understand that this new Pentium 4 is a full 1GHz faster that AMD's fastest Barton core at 2.2GHz for the Athlon XP 3200+.

    However, the performance picture behind the clock speed, is the story that many of you come here to find out and that's what we'll aim to deliver for you today. At 3.2GHz, the new Pentium 4 is running a full 45% faster clock speed than an Athlon XP 3200+ at 2.2GHz. This is perhaps an impressive data-point and a tribute to Intel's ability to scale the P4 core to amazing new heights. On the other hand, as AMD likes to point out, it's not always about the MHz but how efficient a processor is within each clock cycle. We'll roll up our sleeves for you here and give you the straight scoop on that data-point as well.

    Pentium 4 .13 Micron Die

    With 512K of full speed on chip L2 cache, an 800MHz Quad Pumped Front Side Bus, Hyperthreading, and 1.55V operating voltage, not much has changed for the new 3.2GHz Pentium 4, with the minor exception of an additional 200MHz in clock speed. In the die image on the right, you'll notice a couple of large rectangular dark grid regions on the right hand side of the die. These are the two banks of L2 cache memory. There is also a small block up in the top left quadrant of the shot. This is a block of what Intel calls "Execution Trace Cache", otherwise known as L1 cache.

    As you'll note, the memory structures here take up a sizable portion of the die area. SRAM cache memory is big real-estate hog and you can understand why both Intel and AMD have to drive tighter process geometries, in order to support larger amounts of cache moving forward.

    Parent is clearly not a troll. A troll is made to garner responses from ignorant idiots. Since this is Slashdot, there's no short supply. In this case however, the more appropriate moderation would have been to moderate to (-1, Offtopic) since it's a crapflood.

    This reply isn't a troll either, it's offtopic as well. Moderators, quit hitting the pipe on that cheap ether-based 3 dollar crack and hit the good clean crack for an extra 2 dollars a hit.

    That is all.

    Lol Dudes!11!1!! mE am brazil!11! well after twelve years on the emuscene my dream is making real here is the first screen shot of REAS the KILL OF ALL EMULATORS ,WELL I HAVE TO CONGRATULATE THE GREAT BRAZILIAN CODER REGIS REZENDE TO AGREE JOINING THIS HARD PROJECT , he is the most experient coder in brazil, ONCE I WANT TO TELL ALL PEOPLE THAT HELP ME ABOUT THE REAS A GREAT HUGE,ACTUALLY THE EMU IS RUNNING ONLY FEW SYTEMS BUT WAIT VERY SOON GREAT PROGRESS ,IF U ARE A CODER AND WANT TO COLOBORATE WITH REGIS CONTACT ME BECAUSE HE IS VERY BUSY . THE SOURCE DONT WILL BE PUBLIC. THE EMU IS RUNNING UNDER ASM WITH SOME THINGS IN ALEGRO ,IS FOR WINDOWS , AND IS OPTIMIZED FOR A PENTIUM OR AMD 900 WITH 128 RAM AND GEOFORCE 2,BUT THIS SPEC IS ONLY TO RUN ALL SYSTEMS I WILL PUT HERE SOME ROMS TOO,I WANT DONATORS TO KEEP THE REAS ALIVE I SPENT MANY TIME AND REGIS TOO,IF U ARE AN EMULOVER DONATION SOME MONEY OR HOST THIS SITE AND GIVE BANNERS TO IT. PUT IN YOUR MINDS THAT THIS EMU ISNT FAKE,DONT BELIEVE IN SOME EMULATION SITE,TRUST ME AND WE WILL GET THE BEST EMU EVER. IF U HAVE ANY IDEA TO I MAKE CASH WITH THIS SITE TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING REAS TELL ME THE EMU LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH BUT I TOLD TO REGIS PUT A TRANSTALOR OUTPUT.THE REAS SUPPORT ZIP AND FUTURE NETPLAY VIA MODEM IP.
