indeed! in my job (I work at a small OEM in the Netherlands), I already sold several dual quad-core systems the last couple of months, build to order. This week I sold a similar system (with this exact same motherboard) but with 16GB of memory instead of 4. Luckily it's not going to run Vista;-)
That's exactly the comment I was looking for. Not only this time, but on several occassions (that steampunk keyboard for instance) lately I noticed slashdot closes the line instead of opening it. This has been all over in the blogosphere for weeks and now gets 'scooped' from CNN? I'd say that firehose isn't working like it should or what else is wrong?... If it has been on engadget for instance, overhere you can better act as if you have never seen it at all;-)
Me too, for me it also was the first UNIX I installed (on a SparcStation2) and got to learn the command-line in a proper way (imho) and I could only recommend anyone willing to learn UNIX to start with NetBSD.
At this moment I still have one machine running NetBSD, a 33MHz Mac LC475 (yes, I'm aware it's 2006). The server can be found here: http://mark.is-a-geek.org/
Hmmmz, my SGI Indy didn't need 256MB of videomemory to have vectorized icons... somehow I get the feeling Vista isn't the most efficiently programmed software/OS we've seen...;-)
(and the Indy *did* ship with a journaling filesystem... XFS...)
I tried windows for 10 days and boy, did I discover how much day-to-day operations on windows made me love *nix even more...
But a little more serious, 10 days? I mean like, what do you expect? Give it 10 months and you don't want anything else, but 10 days? What are these windows-users, shallow?
(They spent years and years trying to control this fuzzy-logic called windows and give something else 10 days... tsssss...)
for instance, I installed Tiger on my non-DVD ibook by hooking up my iPod as a firewire bootdisk... works like a charm but eh... it's fun but is it news?
Well, the point I tried to make is that there's more than just games that benefit from the source of the Q3-engine getting released.
These 2 projects I already blogged on my own page and I have been looking into direct-links with a proper explanation, but especially in the case of DEVMAP that's very hard.
but that's a flash-interface which is kind of impossible to deep-link
The thing is that it's an installation on festivals which uses live-input & streams and such...
"The concept is based around the interactive use of live media feeds and constant changing media manipulations triggered by visitors. Webcam footage, video output and dedicated sensors will be captured, transformed, and manipulated. Collected textures, sounds, images, and flows of information will be reworked and reprocessed, then mapped into and onto a virtual landscape, creating a constantly updated database that reflects and refracts physical reality."
this DEVMAP won a prize in Toronto lately:
"DEVMAP has been selected as a winner for the New Voices Toronto Digifest 2005. The project will be exhibited from May 27th untill July 1st, 2005. The exhibition will open with a panel discussion between selected artists. More information will be available on the http://www.dx.org/digifest website." (if you scroll down for episode 5, you can watch a streaming video about DEVMAP)
Since it's still hard to explain in 2 words what these projects are about, I posted the links to my blogposts about them, so that people have something to start with if they're interested... not to pimp my blog as you put it, although I don't mind the traffic.
"and I felt that digital audio devices were not living up to their potential, especially for classical music lovers and other audiophiles."
Since when does your taste of music make you an audiophile?
Something tells me it isn't too smart to market something as 'classical music only', I think it's this same genius that designed the thing in the first place (there's no digital out for instance)
Imho this thing is a a serious contender for/dev/null
It's in Dutch but it has some nice benchmarkresults which should be clear to anybody, benchmarked next to an AMD dual-core 4200+ and a AMD 3800+ (and I know for a fact those results are correct cause it's all been benchmarked on my own desk:-))
First, these so called internet-entrepeneurs(which, imho, means you can settle about anywhere you want) choose to sit in the most expensive places and now, this one chooses to sit in an RV? I mean, to me that is just plain stupid... I mean, why do these guys have to go places if they're *internet* entrepeneurs?
I agree, there are dozens of suitcase-mods out there... Only difference is that they call this a server... An AMD 2200+ on a motherboard with a VIA chipset... geez...
Now if it was a 4-way server with SCSI-disks/ECC-memory and stuff, but no... it's some lame hardware in a very lame casemod
Well, I couldn't either (and/or wouldn't), so I got myself a EUR 50(about $55) Sony Projection System, and that included the screen. So, no DIY-ing (except the tuning)... what on earth can beat that?
I have the feeling you're on the wrong site... If you have a girl and no hardware in your livingroom, what are you doing here? Maybe you should just dump her and again get all the equipment *you* want (cause that's what you actually want ain't it?):-)
Well... I've been busy finding such cases for the company I work for to build Media Center PCs... but personally, after seen, touched, feeled and used a lot of these cases, I can come only to one conclusion...
Nothing beats my black 19" case

just my two cents...
>I still have a soft spot for NetBSD
:D

Well, don't look any further than OpenBSD

Cool! this also means projects like DEVMAP and QQQ can be released to a bigger audience

These guys showed this on WhatTheHack - conference in The Netherlands last friday.
;-)
I made some pics of the demo, starting with this one:

Does this mean Theo gets to speech? I can't wait to hear him rant on a stage :-)

Then my iNO is just the thing for you, Apple-logo, no MP3-circuitry and no cost
Just leave the mp3 player circuit board...
and you can have those iPod-looks for no cost!
