  1. Re:Yeah, breaking news indeed. on Pentium-M In Mini-ITX Format · · Score: 1

    That's a Micro-ATX board (9.6" x 9.6"). This Thunderbird board is a Mini-ITX board (6.75" x 6.75").

    If you would have known the difference between the Pentium 4-M and the Pentium M, you'd have realized that the Pentium M is the Pentium 3 Plus, whereas the Pentium 4-M is a low-power Pentium 4.

    A 1Ghz Nehemiah is a lot slower that an 1Ghz Duron or Celeron.

    Whoa, there. I'd check VIA's page on the C3 being cool before you say it's slower than a 1GHz Celeron. It's at http://www.via.com.tw/en/viac3/pcb.jsp. Scroll to the performance per watt graph (just above the fanless heat rendering)

    How about a touchscreen LCD or something? You'd be MUCH closer to no moving parts. Windows has an OSK (on-screen keyboard) for people who can't type but are able to use a pointing device (anyone who can move their eyes in case you were wondering).

  7. Re:Performance on Pentium-M In Mini-ITX Format · · Score: 1

    They didn't compare it to either the Pentium 3 (it was originally designed to be a Celeron clone) or the Pentium M, but the Nehemia-core VIA C3 (1.0 GHz) is faster MHz per MHz than a Celery 3 1.0 GHz.

    Ugh, Intel embedded graphics. And no AGP slot (it was PCI or AGP, which would you choose? Keep in mind this is for industrial embedded systems).

    Just do a DOOM .wad. Then it'll work on a 486, too. After all, with LOTS of fighting, you can pay your $699 fee for Linux 2.4+ on a 486.

  10. Re:This was against a P4 on AMD64 Preview · · Score: 1

    To be specific, it was an Opteron (1-way - same as Athlon FX, but not Athlon 64 - Opteron is for servers, FX is for enthusiasts/gamers, 64 is for home users) overclocked to 2.0 GHz (from 1.8 GHz), a dual P4 (3.06 GHz), a single P4 (3.06 GHz), an Athlon XP (forget the speed).

    Thumb drives can also have scripts to throw their data on as your settings soon after you plug it in. (Unfortunately, I don't know how to automate it on Windows - autorun.inf is ignored by Windows on my JumpDrive)

    But this guy is looking at VMware ESX Server 2 and MS Virtual Server. You're using the price for Workstation, which is probably much less than ESX (anyone got a quote?). Virtual PC 5 (for Windows) was approximately $130.

  16. Re:Transport a bull for stud services? Yeah, right on Need Milk? Get Yourself A Supercow. · · Score: 1

    Actually, semen is stored in sealed straws, and they're frozen solid, so they wouldn't leak out anyway. First, they shove the semen into the tubes, and put stabilizers in, let it cool down in a dry nitrogen tank, then put more stablizers in, and throw it in a liquid tank. A week later, you pick it up and transfer the straws into your tank. Besides, washing it is a VERY bad idea. Rust is something you DEFINITELY don't want on one of these.

    Typo Command was a version for the Cybiko handheld computer (forget touch typing on the sub-sub-chiclet keyboard on it).

    http://exp.tukids.tucows.com/win95nt/9-12/previe w/ 45945.html is a program a lot like that. Since it's 95/98/NT4 code, it might run on WINE.

    Same way here, except I just gave up on Mavis Beacon. I was typing a report on my old beat-up Apple //c (no small feat without hunting and pecking - even for a touch typer - the keyboard was fux0red), and I realized that I wasn't looking at the keyboard at all. I'm now up to 50 wpm, and I get a couple more wpm out of an IBM Model M. Audible feedback rules! Type hard or go home! (modelm.org reference)
