yeah, i guess that is why they don't use it.
i just can't figure out why it's not running my stuff. nor is it logging.
but that's nuthing bad about slack.
slackware was the first distro i used as well and in my prolific distro trying out faze i got very used to the standards used in most other distros for things like/etc/rc.d/init.d symbolic links.
now i have it (slack) running on my router because i wanted it to be simple and "bare knuckle" as one user expressed it. and it is. everything seems like a huge deal to get it going over there.
cron is not working properly, and has no default logging. (they don't use vixie).
but most other problems i have worked out.
it's just not as shiney, but as a DIY kinda guy i gotta say i like it that way. for all the power and ease of the big distros they have stuff that is big and just gets in the way sometimes.
i was going to say, just fix the CVS as it would be a snap and you could get a new vacuum on the "cheap". But if it is poorly installed anyway, and you can get the cable install done super cheap and easy then i say go for it. That way you have some operable cable and jacks, rather than barely usable vacuum. But remember throwing money into a house right before it's sold will NOT up the resale value proportionately. just like a car.
now that i think about it, the prospective buyers prolly won't notice that the CVS sucks (not very well) so i return to my advise to fix the vacuum system.
best of luck!
yeah, sure! just anyone at the airport or underneath...
i don't trust those robots
we all saw what happened in "AI" (aside from a waste of my $8). and i heard those things are made from stem cells!
ok, seriously... this is cool, forest fires are scary and really suck when some careless boob flicked his butt out the window or worse.
"only YOU can help stop forest fires, oh, and robots..."
yeild problems can almost purely be addressed by the wafer size.
i don't know when you were a "hardware guy" but GaAs technology is quite mature and this will help the yeild as well.
one big problem i still see is the power consumption which is what makes them hot. no cmos = power sucking monsters. can't build CMOS with out a good oxide/body interface.
this has nothing to do with GaAs tech.
the wire delay is all above the device layer in the interconnects. it's because the devices are so dense we need more and more metalization layers and chip real estate balloons so the manhattan delay skyrockets. this is why it's important to go to 3d.:-)
GaAs has a higher carrier mobility than Si, so they are able to switch faster. it says nothing of the circuit being able to switch with it (due to capacitance, resistance, etc).
but as to wiring delay, IBM switched to copper, which helps. they also are using low-K dielectric(s) which lowers the parasitic cap.
and they have even gone to using metal gates rather than poly-silicon.
the carrier mobility is much much greater in GaAs than in Si.
however CMOS process is not economically feasible because GaAs has no good clean native oxide to isolate the gate. thus GaAs is usually used in bipolar circuits. maybe the IBM technology has something to do with this?
silicon epi on a GaAs trench or somesuch?
i haven't read the article... i'm guessing

here at rpi all the frosh had to buy a t22 (or an equivalent). i think they got them for $2400. you can bet your sweet booties that lots of the dorks around here are running linux on them, as i would:-)
i'm not an underclassman so i never was forced into buying a laptop (so i'm chained to my office)
they've had them for at least a week now. aren't we special?

Mozilla 0.9.3 Released

· Score: 2, Informative
from:
mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.3:
Proxies
Mozilla needs to be configured to work properly with proxies such as Junkbuster that do not support the most recent HTTP specification. By default, Mozilla tries to use HTTP 1.1. To use Mozilla with a proxy that only supports HTTP 1.0, edit the HTTP Version from 1.1 to 1.0 in Edit | Preferences | Debug | Networking. (Bug 38488)
it didn't cause any probs in the linux builds i was making from daily tarballs until july.
then, at work in NT starting in july in every build i have tried (nightlies, and releases) i get these problems with history, and sometimes pages rendered as blank, or "ho hum"
i have been consistantly getting a strange problem in NT 4.0 (work, no choice)
where if i go to google. and then click on a choice after searching, sometimes it'll try to access that page in the google.com domain. IOW: it'll just tack the path on the end of the present domain name.
it's uber weird and no one else seems to be having this trouble. i'm wondering if it's something weird with out firewall. but netscrape 4.7x works just fine.
i also get a strange "ho hum" on the front of the source sometimes (all the source is there, but ho hum only shows up rendered as it is before the html start tag).
anyone know anything about these occurances?
i reported them but heard no followups and can't even find the bugs i reported.
you can show me statistics all day. it doesn't make them ACCURATE.
i understand your catering to IE as it makes your job easier IF YOU USE MS tools.
code toward W3C standards and then you don't have to worry. because you don't exclude ANYone unless they are using SUBstandard products.
the web community (of which we are all members) needs to learn to embrace standards to promote the industry. Not just cater to those in power, whoever they may be. If those in power chose to embrace standards then the choice is easy. IBM (just one example) taught us long ago that trying to use market clout to force "standards" is BAD for business and the industry in general.
i'd call you an amatuer developer based on your very ignorant comments.
one of the most important goals of mozilla is to be 100% standards compliant. read: NOT ie broken compliant.
i'm not an MS hater. but i hate what ie has done to web development and i can't stand using it. i frankly just do not patronize sites that are broken in a standards compliant browser. If i can't see the page in mozilla in windows at least it's just not worth my time or money.
i think mozilla is still very broken, but i'll still use it over IE anyday. Opera on the other hand is the uber-browser right now i think (for win32)
it's not geared to that. if you want to do that. just turn off javascript. although it's not always an option.
i use junkbuster and then at least the ad doesn't come up. the window still does, but only when javascript is on (which i leave off unless i'm talking to my bank or ordering stuff)
must be a quantum effect. that whole half of the spinning rotor must go to another dimension where it is going backwards. thus the rotor doesn't move.
hmmmm infinite MPG. no! it's a fuel PRODUCER!
:-)
that is EXACTLY how simple it is...
if you don't mind possibly not getting the rest of your stuff back, being charged with assault, and possibly assaulting someone who bought (unknowingly) stolen goods.
i say, track the bastard. then contact the cops. if they can't get your stuff back, and you are sure they are the culprit. THEN send in your 6 foot friend to go midievel....
the poor bastards who go to RPI now all have to buy laptops, and you always hear about them getting stolen. i always wonder how easy it would be for RPI or others to track hardware addy and find out where and if someone was using a stolen machine. This could even be automated and log all packets so you could see what they were doing, and who they were. Maybe even take a picture of them in the act with sec. cameras when available.
but that would put the burden on RPI and not the ever reducing intelligence of the incoming students. (don't leave your laptop lying around!!!)
so for all the people that think the reporter just went out and blew his $7k without a thought are probably not giving him enough credit.
how interesting would the article have been if it said "i spent 2 months investigating and educating myself on HDTV and availibility
...
now i have a huge old antenna and an ATSC tuner card and it all works!" ?
the reporter is no idiot, i'd assume. the reporter just knows how to sell a good dramatization. For all we know he has a black and white zenith box with rabbit ears.
i took the fan out of my power supply altogether.
that's about as quiet as it gets. if i could get my hard drives to shut up maybe i could here the electrons charging up the capacitors.
seriously thought. took out the fan, inverted the power supply with no cover on it. i drilled some holes in the top of the case and now all the heat just convects itself out. it can also go out the huge hole in the back of the case wher the fan used to be. I had to drill some new holes to mount the power supply upside down.
i also have a panaflow (23 dBA) blowing into the case.
the crappy PIII fan is the loudest now, i have a golden orb on the way that i'll voltage down ~(21dBa) and i should be good except for the damn 7200 RPM IBM ATA100 drives which must have the world's crappiest bearings.
the next step is rubber grommets for the drives and the fan in the front.
quiet PC stuff has been super popular recently.
i'm going to mount my drives on rubber grommets (adding a ground strap) to isolate the noise. but i need a non drive-rail case.
drives are easily the loudest, in a non-oclocked machine. i have three fans including the processor fan, and my drives eclipse the noise of all of them.
TOC is not blocked. OSCAR seems to be.
OSCAR was never opened so they can do whatever they please.
TOC was opened and i'm on aim and yahoo and msn and jabber with gaim right now.:-)
... and if you are interested purely in the hardware go with EE.
don't give me any of that bulls&%t about not wanting to study analog stuff either. High speed signals are ALL analog and SI is very important.
i made the mistake of doing computer eng. thinking i would learn how to build computers. i was wrong, and was bogged down in too much CS crap. I am better off knowing it... but now i'm playing catchup for my EE MS.
good luck
did you read the article? did you even look?
productive work for their bosses means getting people to read their articles. it's been/.ed already, i'd say people are reading it.
they clearly state on the front page that it's beyond the reach of most readers. just like a porsche, etc.
This was done for the same reason that most hackers do stuff... to see if it can be done. It's all about fun. The work machine should just chill and do stuff i want it to... agreed. for them this means, crank out more MIPS than any other PC.
even with that aside, processors are designed around margins based on reliability, and presumably lifetime, while balancing performance.
just like the guy who puts an eaton blower in his 72 rabbit to get 400 horsepower, some people are more interested in performance than reliability.
