Q: How many Pentium designers does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: 1.99904274017, but that's close enough for non-technical people.
Q: What do you get when you cross a Pentium PC with a research grant? A: A mad scientist.
Q: What's another name for the "Intel Inside" sticker they put on Pentiums? A1: Warning label. A2: Truth in advertising.
Q: What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium? A: Successive approximations.
Q: Complete the following word analogy: Add is to Subtract as Multiply is to
1. Divide
2. ROUND
3. RANDOM
4. On a Pentium, all of the above
A: Number 4.
Q: What algorithm did Intel use in the Pentium's floating point divider? A: "Life is like a box of chocolates." (Source: F. Gump of Intel)
Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586? A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.
Q: According to Intel, the Pentium conforms to the IEEE standards 754 and 854 for floating point arithmetic. If you fly in aircraft designed using a Pentium, what is the correct pronunciation of "IEEE"? A: Aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!

THIS FILE SYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
3. 1GB iPod Nano - Don't think so. The shuffle fills this space, but that's not big enough for the Nano's market segment.
If most places had 1GB iPod shuffles instock.
I think shuffles have become an EOL product already, heh, as there is probably more profit to be made from iPod Nanos and shuffles are pretty crap, for a few $'s more I could have a screen and twice the storage space for my digital media files.
The Geode NX is based on old Athlon tech so performance should atleast be above par for low powered devices in the 6-14 watt market, like VIA's C3 or Intel's PII. Obviously, Geodes do not compare to the likes of ULV Pentium M and Turion.
Although finding a Geode NX is another story, but to put some limelight on prices, I have seen a Geode NX + Mobo for the same price of a Sempron here in the UK.

NetBSD on a PowerBlock(TM) 200 Toaster?
Yeah, my thoughts exactly..
Hey, sorry you are wrong.. it is:
GNUv2/Linux-2.6.16-rc1-git4

When I saw another picture of Mitnick, I first thought he looked a lot more like Tom Selleck from Magnum Pi: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/scrapbook/30/Sbk/30/al lanandtomselleck.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Sellec k,%20Tom
alas, I didnt have my glasses at hand.
Man Stroke Women, being another..
Funny.. they are porting it to the itanic if that counts as a Dead Lemming?
anyway, FreeBSD-6.* still works on 386.. check the mailling list archives.
You should work for Apple and sell Apple gear, Steve Jobs could make you Employee of the month, every month :)
go in to /usr/bin and you'll find the ever useful window(1) command. What a gem.. not sure how gnu screen compares :)
all props goes to: FreeBSD Manual Pages

or more precisely, 4.4BSD/Mach VM.
Plenty more info here: http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_xnu.html although not the definitive source, but interesting known the less.
Not that AMD are going to be any better when it comes to DRM, they also have plans to include DRM into their CPU's sometime in the future.
I await the day Intel try to trademark the letter D after failing to get i.
Are you any relation to mister Goatse.cx?
I am buying one just to run minix.
All we need now is a CD-ROM drive that will last as long as the CD's.
I think Parent was referring to the GPL.. then again.. ;)

We all know "640K ought to be enough for anybody."
Bill Gates, Microsoft Corporation.
This is about POWER not PowerPC. There is a difference.
More along the lines of 730 days if you include the dupes..
Nah.. it's either Google, Microsoft or SCO.
