This is a nice idea, but it seems lacking. No DVI port? That one is pretty important to me. Also is highly priced, although maybe not for being mini ITX.
I would have been a lot more impressed if the specifications page was more in depth and it actually came with Coreboot and a DVI port. I've heard lots of bad things about Atom processors, too.
This is just dumb. Obviously, different headphones have different impedance levels and different dB to power ratio, so your tinny and tiny Ipod junkphones may be around 90dB when your cans are around 70dB.
The thing is, why can't governments let people think for themselves anymore? At most, make a public disclaimer, just always let people do what they want since it isn't their responsibility.
Isn't Google Translator amazing? The translation was *very* readable. I don't know about accuracy since I don't know Portuguese, but the English output was incredible. I'm really impressed.
Mod me down, but seriously, SSL, DNSSEC, and so many things for "security" are just junkware, introducing their own bugs and problems while making things excessively bloaty. Noticed how many vulnerabilities there have been in SSL alone lately? It's scary and this really needs to be rethought.
He sounded like more of a reasonable, humanitarian cop than being involved in any corruption. Cop doesn't always mean you are part of murdering the controversialists or what not, it's often just the "stop the crimes" type.
Yes, calorie restriction *works*, but everyone who promotes it is putting a million issues into the bubble of dietary restriction. Why are some competitive eaters so darn thin?
I'd reference more, but I won't spend too much time on this. Yes, overeating in many cases will cause you to gain weight. Ever noticed why some people can eat 1k Calories per day and never have their weight change, even with lots of exercise? It's because their metabolism slows down to that rate. Diabetics of a certain kind (I think type 1, but I don't recall exactly) can't gain weight no matter what, strictly because they've got little ability with insulin.
You can lose weight restricting calories, but all you do in the long run is put up hormonal and physiological red flags saying that the body is in starvation mode. There have been studies with prison subjects being force fed 10,000 Calories a day of I think mostly fructose. They gained weight, (no wonder, since it was mostly fructose) but many peaked around 4 pounds, even after weeks! This should be a weight gain of 2lbs a day, even if their basal rate burns 3k Calories. Something's up.
Some people can eat themselves over and lose weight without exercise, while feeling a huge desire to exercise but fighting it. Some people gain weight with a few green peas. Why? It's far more complex than I can answer here, or even know myself. I will say that the body, when eating good healthy food, will have it's metabolism "unlocked" at a certain point. For some people, it takes eating a lot. They gain weight initially, have a number of health problems taken away, plateau, and then lose weight super easily. Some need thyroid supplementation. Some people don't gain weight at all. In the end, you feel better, you have tons of energy, and can eat as much butter and mashed potatoes as you've ever seen, without gaining weight. Now, that doesn't work for everyone. Some people will have gluten intolerance, hiatal hernia, and so much in the way. Just, Calories in - Calories out = Weight change is a nice formula for you/.'ers, but it's downright stupid. It may work 70% of the time, but it's not meant to be that way, and it's missing 99.99% of the picture.
The best answers I've seen to this are on http://180degreehealth.blogspot.com/ , where I learned about most of this. I had suspected it for a while myself, but this guy really puts it into perspective.
Global Warming is caused by humans, and if it does harm in the first place. I'm not saying that it's not caused by humans and isn't harmful, but please think for yourself and read rather than taking the mainstream, approved view. This is a good read; just try to find the truth rather than assuming what you've been taught (or what that site says).
Either way, Toyota is a bad measure of cost. Is that my $800 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S, or a newer luxury sedan?
You are right, I missed that part. Either way, 813 r/s is kind of useless until you stumble upon the basic hardware information, unless it is compared to other data. It also (maybe I'm wrong about this, too) does not say the operating system used, which could be the sole reason the caching is working well.
In my opinion, the article is a bit much over excitement combined with too little exposed technical knowledge on behalf of the author. I'm sure Opera Unite has some use potential in many areas, but the article is simply not Slashdot quality.
as worstofslashdot? This article is only mildly interesting because I had never heard of Opera Unite before. But what is with such a low quality article getting on Slashdot? Slashdot is for people with half a brain. I don't care about "813 r/s"; saying that figure means nothing. And what hardware exactly? Reminds me of this post on reiserfs-devel (just the first two posts). At least he gives some comparisions later on, but a Slashdot article pointing to a witty comment in another article would probably make for a better read.
Seriously though, what is happening to Slashdot? Digg sometimes is more consistent with good articles, and that is just sad. Slashdot is a great site overall and has its own unique taste, but it needs to stop pushing articles like this.
Cheers!
Yeah, I debated posting this as anonymous. Troll me down if you disagree.
I have my screenless (screen was *working*, but the hinges were broken and it was a pain), keyboardless, laptop as a router, webserver, SMTP, POP3, DNS primary and slave. P3 650Mhz Coppermine running at 500Mhz with 128MB RAM is very adequate for most basic server usage, just don't throw too much PHP/SQL at it. Assuming the battery still works, you get a built in UPS. You'll need to find another NIC assuming it doesn't have two already if you want it to be your router.
Good luck!
Sounds like Microsoft has a new recommended requirements list for Vista. I could buy one reasonably Vista/Server 2008 box or get 20 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S's. I think I'll take those lovely Celicas. Or get 17 of them and one nice box that can run reasonably written software faster than that beast would run Windows 2008.
Projects with multiple languages are harder to maintain and typically make the application more bloated. I can understand a programming language, some inline assembler, and a scripting language, but mixing C, C++, Ruby, and Perl is a nasty mess. C/C++ isn't too bad, but I highly recommend keeping the languages count to a minimum.
Knowing Microsoft, it will probably be 36 bug fixes and one new, useful feature for Windows 7.
The new feature is bound to have at least 36 bugs though.
Anyone know what x86 instructions don't need a license?
I would be suprised if the 80486 instructions were still patented, but I could understand if SSE was still under patent. IMO: they really should be free to use, but most of the newer instruction sets aren't terribly needed for most tasks. I wouldn't mind a (more efficent) 486 equivalent with 512KB L2 cache running at 2Ghz:-). Of course, there are also patented technologies that don't affect instructions at all, which could not be implemented.
2.4.x might be a tad bit lighter, but 2.6.x can be very small with proper tweaking. 2.6.x should be noticably faster too. 2.6.27.x runs great on my 486 (16MB RAM), even with a stock kernel for my Arch Linux fork. Be sure to enable CONFIG_EMBEDED and take a look in kernel hacking:-).
Cheers!
If you haven't been following every commit's short log, you may find http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_28 useful. I for one, would like 2.6.28 for Christmas.
MBps != Mbps
MBps = 8*Mbps
Go back over a decade and get 100Mbit all at the cost of plugging in some CAT-5. Most WiFi setups won't even give you 100M range:-).

Incredibly, hardware manages to get faster as coders find new ways to make their software even slower. Why do we even let this battle wage on, and not just code stuff properly the first time?
Sure, some new features are essential and may occasionally deprecate old hardware, even when written properly. But if a 486 can handle Slashdot, can't a Pentium 3 provide a decent office and browsing experience?

This is a nice idea, but it seems lacking. No DVI port? That one is pretty important to me. Also is highly priced, although maybe not for being mini ITX.
I would have been a lot more impressed if the specifications page was more in depth and it actually came with Coreboot and a DVI port. I've heard lots of bad things about Atom processors, too.
Nice job to them though.
