  1. NASA spends millions of dollars on space pen... on Russian E2k CPU at 135 SPECint95 / 350 SPECfp95 ??? · · Score: 1

    Fountain pen.

    Capillary action. No need for gravity. Ne pas?

  2. Media Manipulation on Russian E2k CPU at 135 SPECint95 / 350 SPECfp95 ??? · · Score: 1

    Strikes me that it's very probable that all us North American folk have been fed a line of bullshit by the media and governments all these years.

  5. OS/9 on it -- cool! on Tiny PPC Motherboards · · Score: 1

    OS/9 is a wicked little OS. Fully re-entrant, ROMmable, multitasking, multiuser, real-time interrupt handling, etcetera. Plenty o' power for many tasks. Popular machine controller OS, I understand. Runs nuke power sites and the like...
