    Online IQ test

    8 inches black mountain boots, summer like winter. Re-inforced cap for ass kicking. In general, I like boots like the Terra Defender style. I would be impressed. Never seen a guy without a neck before. We would look like twins, I also always wear jeans and T-shirt. ;-)

    Splash: What are you using for new systems at work?

    There are no more bugs on the Opteron platform than on any Xeon platforms. We're not talking about corean cars here, we're talking about processors designed with servers in mind.

    Searching VIA KM400 chipset review

    Ok, thanks for the short feedback. I have given up to find a decent review on any board sporting that cheapset. Another thing I've decided is to hold off my purchase until I have enough cash to buy something that won't make me vomit everytime I'll look at it. Oh and one last thing Merc...

    Searching VIA KM400 chipset review

    I remember that this chipset stinks, but I don't remember exactly how much. I'm considering it (although not very seriously) for an extremely budget box where the focus will be placed on the CPU and few things else (guess why?). I don't care for the onboard crappy graphic lame performances...

    Wow, that thread makes so ~2001... Can't believe Tony still wonders about the joy of W2K compared to NT4 some 3 years and a half after it's been release. Oh well, the secret of happiness is made of small joys.

    Splash: What are you using for new systems at work?

    No, they run better. And from the benchmarks I saw, the Opteron are more dominant for server stuff than for workstation use compared to Xeon. Even for the workstation market, they are at least equal and often better, but for server applications, their lead over the Xeon is almost...

    White Box Enterprise Linux

    http://www.beau.org/~jmorris/linux/whitebox/index.html I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like a free version of RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0. Don't know how it can be legal, but some of you who were pissed by the vanishing of RedHat vanilla Linux version might be interested.

    [NEWS] - Linux kernel 2.6.0 released.

    Just in time for Christmas. Linus and his assistants seem fairly confident in the stability and maturity of the 2.6 branch at this point, so the scandinavian #1 nerd gave the green flag for the official version to get out. You can download the kernel at Kernel.org. News source

    [NEWS] - Sony unveils new walking and running robot.

    Just saw that on this morning's news. I think the name of the robot is QRIO and it's similar to Honda's Aibo (is it Aibo?, something like that anyway), although it seems about 2/3 the size and is looking more like a finished product than the other (the backpack is hidden within the body of the...

    It looks like a nice little utility, but I already put a tad too much time and efforts for FAH and I know that if I start messing with this, I'll be even more obsessed than I am currently with the FAH stats, which I don't believe would be a good thing for me.

    [NEWS] - Toshiba announces smallest HDD yet

    To be honest, I first spotted the news on Ars, but Hannibal didn't provide any link to the official announcement so I had to look elsewhere. I'm not sure if solid state storage devices would be more appropriate for drives this small. News source

    [news] Student finds largest known prime number

    ''State Of The Art'' CPU Cooling (Circa Dec 2003)

    Many Panaflo fans don't even come with the connector, just the bare wires, so you can chose what type of connector you'll attach them to. Being a "case" fan with a constant velocity doesn't hinder its hability to cool your processor. With the monstrous heatsinks (which are both way heavier...

    Although that now I prefer the foobar2000 player that Doug linked a few weeks ago (much lower resources need), Winamp 5 offers a much nicer interface and should be a better choice for people looking for applications with a nicer look and feel. The memory eating habits have been lessen compared...

    Saddam Hussein captured.

    I thought the pipeline had been built. The talks about it were so frequent ten years ago that I thought it had been done. A few readings on the Net informed me that it was cancelled due to the instability in the country. The project still floats around though and it's probably a major reason...

    VIA Hyperion 4.50 released

    The 4in1 doesn't improve performances much (except for some of the early Hyperion that boosted the AGP performances by some 4-6%), but it adds features that would otherwise be disabled or crippled. You can live without it, but I prefer to put the 4in1 and have access to all the features of my...

    Saddam Hussein captured.

    You've made no point here Bill, you've simply quoted bullshit from the Whitehouse. I don't care about the details the guy (Bush) vomits publicly, I care about the general message he sends and the acts he poses in reality. Both diverge tremendously. For the record, I did write more than a year...

    Guys, it's hopeless. Unlce Bill feeds on the manipulated U.S. press and Bush'S misleasding declarations like a hungry baby on pablum. He's patriotic in the wrong way, supporting every garbage his rotten government throws within a second thought instead of focusing on truth and what should be...

    No first-hand experience. Probably sits between ECS and Shuttle in term of quality. The board you're eyeing should be a decent budget board, although I would get a Shuttle at that price. BTW, at 54$, I wouldn't expect fancy features to work flawlessly. Development must not have been the...

    Saddam Hussein captured.

    If Bush and friends' story about liberating Iraqi from their tyrant would have been right, then they should have invade and replaced a lot of other governments too well before Iraq. But when there's no oil, there's no motivation to send the U.S. army, unless there are a lot of complains...

    Bill, those DNA tests are IMO bullshit to add credibility to the announcement.

    SCO victim of several DoS attacks.

    This news is so sad that it brought me a smile. Me thinks SCO is so close to being totally ruined that it cannot afford to protect itself from upcomming DoS attacks. I'll have a lot of fun to read similar news in the future, since it's likely to happen again quite soon.

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Yep and it will most likely fail way before the Toyota too. Volks have one of the worst reliability track record of the industry and by the ninth year you'll have it, chances are it will have cost you way more than a Prius battery (German cars' parts aren't cheap). It is an interesting car...

    Good value chassis at NewEgg

    This Chieftec case seems like a great deal for only 55$ shipped. Doesn't include a PSU though, but still. Free shipping if you're in the States (well, they only ship in the States :( ). The fan holes are well made and the enclosure surely offers a good enough air flow for any ATX platform.
