It would seem like a possible marketing move by Intel. *Maybe* they'll be able to pull this off, but afaik they haven't announced anything official. It would seem that by leaking rumors that they will be shipping these chips by Q1 2000 they might be able to hold onto some customers who might otherwise consider putting Athlons in their systems (OEMs) or buying Athlon-based systems (both corpotate buyers and individuals).
Here's a press release from Linux Mandrake about an agreement with LinuxOne, along with several other companies, to enter the Chinese market.
The release is from September 3. Interestingly, there's a little blurb describing LinuxOne (it seems to embellish the company), but there's no link to a LinuxOne web page. My guess is that these guys didn't even have a web site three weeks ago (the other companies mentioned all got links to their sites). It certainly looks like a site that could have gone up during someone's lunch hour.
* I do not remember how I first came in contact with/. * I do not remember any anectdotes * I do not have any friends here
Am I wortheless, because of that?
Worthless? Maybe, but not because of your Slashdot deficiencies.;)
Seriously, I'd love to hear from someone who has formed friendships through Slashdot. I've looked at the site a few times a day for at least 6 months and I have yet to really meet anyone as a result of Slashdot. I know other people who read Slashdot, but they're all people who I've met in person. So is Slashdot conducive to the forming of friendships? I have made friends on IRC and in some online gaming forums (bungie.net comes to mind), but never here. Maybe not being an active poster has kept me from meeting people.
That said, I also don't remember how I first came in contact with Slashdot either, and I certainly don't have any anecdotes. I have found countless cool web sites by looking at the pages of other posters. Too bad mine is in a rather sad state of semi-completedness.
Would I run a web server on a 7200? No thank you. Not even on one running NetBSD or Linux, the machine just doesn't have the capacity.
I have to disagree with this statement. I have a 7200/90 sitting next to the k6-2 system I'm working on right now and I used to run Apache on it under LinuxPPC R4. For static content it does great. I never load-tested it, but it would have no problem serving a low-volume site.
How about proxy servers. I recently worked for a company of over 50,000, but all of the http traffic was flowing through proxy servers. The individual boxes must have hundreds, if not thousands, of users accessing the web through them.
That said, I still think that it's probably a script.
It's all about having spares. I have yet to get rid of any of my old computers, going back to an Apple IIgs. I think I still have a 286 that belonged to my grandfather in the attic. Right now I have two computers on my desk and a third across the room next to my bed. That's normal right? I try not to leave them on all the time. Ok, my newest system hasn't been off for more than 10 minutes since I built it, but the others are only on when I need them...
