I checked my incoming logs and am already seeing quite a few more tickles at port 135 than usual. Where from, you ask? Somewhere in china mostly.. ips in the range 218.15.192.xxx coming from somewhere beyond blahblah.gd.cn.net. Here's one of the ips (its a phony drug sales place) 218.15.192.84... nice little e-com site:)
Though dual processor benchmarks are not presented in detail here, it is worth noting that the G5 system benchmarked at 498 MFLOPS and 0.125 MFLOPS/MHz for scalar Jet3D performance when two processors were used.
That was the above poster's point. Mkay? </karma burn>
At the risk of sounding like I've missed the clue-train. Can someone please remind me of why I want to use a smart-phone (whatever that is) to move my mp3s around? I pretty much use my cell phone for, you know, calling people.
The ISC supports four principles: software should be procured on its merits, the promotion of government funded research, the promotion of interoperability through platform-neutral standards and the maintenance of strong intellectual property protections.
Whew they really had me going 'huh?' until that last part.
Seeing as my total life savings when a senior in college was deep in the negative digits, I should have been so creative as to get the RIAA to assume my debt.
Better: Infinity, not being a number, cannot divide any other number, so "one divided by infinity" is a meaningless statement.
Since we're all getting picky, I'll contribute.
Better Still: The division, in the reals, of an integer by Infinity (here defined as an ordinal sharing the cardinality of the set of integers, or for simplicity, we'll pick the ordinal commonly referred to in set thery as 'omega' or w), is not defined. So "one divided by infinity" is a meaningless statement.
(Depending on which infinity you're talking about, infinity may be, indeed most likely is, a number, albeit a cardinal number, or an ordinal number.)
I've always enjoyed Blackbox myself on the old Pentium 200. It doesn't eat up alot of processor time or have a large memory footprint, but it still looks nice and lets you do some basic X goodness. Of course, different strokes... Having this kind of variety available is what makes Linux so lovely.
I read the whole article and didnt see a single benchmark score! Where were all the charts showing the different FPS achieved on Quake III?
Seriously though, I'm a bit bored with the linux on the desktop discussion. My grandmother doesn't even have a computer. But I do, and I do things just fine on my Red Hat 8 box. Transgaming's WineX lets me run Warcraft III, Counter Strike, and Diablo II just as well as they run in windows, and I get all my development done without much trouble. I can understand how a non-technical user could run into snags, but saying your not interested in seeking help because your busy or griping about having to type is just lame.
How many of us remember the days of getting DOS to play nicely with a soundcard, lan card, and a modem? I certainly remember the textfile editing I had to do to get QEMM to eek out enough memory to get all those TSR's and drivers loaded. And I remember dealing with Windows.ini files. The BS about linux being hard to install is imho due to the fact that none of these folks have tried to install Windows lately. Windows NT installation? Hahaha, man that will make you weep.
Enough bitching about having to type in a root password. I want some 3dMark scores, damnit!!
Agreed... but I like looking at my Gnome desktop. I pretty much felt like this was a half-ass review written over an evening in some guys basement. "See I can boot BeOS, and I have WinXP on my new game machine, and my mom just got this cool new iMac from work, and, oh yeah, I got a linux box over here too... Hey let's compare the DE's!"
That said, I'm a Gnome user, I mostly love it, I sometimes hate it, but I cant stand to develop on anything else. I suppose the fact that Gnome got the lowest overall score may have colored my opinion somewhat.
Whatever the case, use what ya like. But this article was pretty uninformative.
I had an old MFM 20Meg HD that I'd formatted as RLL to 30 or so megs. Nothing uncommon about that, and it ran in an old 386sx/16 for about a year storing downloads for the BBS I ran. One day, it quit working, so I got a screwdriver out, opened it up and tried to manually turn the platter. It was stuck for some reason, so i gave it a good twist and *pop* it started spinning, but it sounded like it was scraping a bit. So I played around with the head adjustment screw until it seemed to be fairly smooth, closed it back up, popped it in the computer, and voila! It worked again. In fact it continued to work for about another 8 Months before it died for good.
I dont think I'd do that to any of the drives in my machine now.
Sadly the ASUS GeForce4 Ti4400 that earned this score passed away on Monday evening, due to a burned out cooling fan. It spent its last moments on this world doing what it loved best, running my druid through the Plane of Tranquility in EverQuest. Services are postponed until the ASUS Technical Support Dept. gets their computer system back up and can issue me an RMA.

But I fail to see any mention of the fact that Lindows is a (inferior?) Linux distribution. Surely we all know this, but I couldn't find so much as the word linux on that page. That coupled with the already mentioned questionable product comparison chart has me a bit peeved.
That said, I think I'll stick with my Dell Latitude/ Redhat 8 combo. It's like joy and love all bundled together in the nicest little package.
This may have been pointed out already, but Microsoft Word 10.0 (the version stamped in the ShowOffYourSkills.doc file), is the Mac OS X version. So, apparently, she wrote this piece on a Mac.
The NX handhelds have a built-in microphone which turns the NX series in a digital ATRAC3/MP3/ADPCM format voice recorder to store your memos.
Am I the only one who thinks that one of these PDA makers needs to include a line-in jack? It doesn't seem like much to ask, and given this simple feature and some accompanying software, I can effectively do away with my mini-disk recorder for most tasks...

As much as I am lothe to waste space with another score, I'll do it all the same, as a form of eulogy for the video card that helped earn it.
Score: 1493

275 MHz / 554 MHz
Memory: 512MB 333Mhz DDR
Sadly the ASUS GeForce4 Ti4400 that earned this score passed away on Monday evening, due to a burned out cooling fan.
