You can read the details at The Tech Report. Here's a snip : The upcoming VT8235 south bridge won't suffer of the infamous bug and VIA's engineers said that its performances are quite good.

Active matrix are a type of (modern) liquid crystal displays. It's a term mainly used for laptop's screens and since most modern LCD screen use that technology, manufacturers bother less and less to write it in their spec. sheet. Prior to active matrix LCDs, there were DSTN LCDs, who were...

Are you planning to do like them?

A sock puppet is an additional nickname for a single member. For instance, Tannin, Tea, CNN Sports and The Grammar Police are all sock puppets of Tony Wilson. Corvair, GIANT, Splash, Platform, Onomatopoeic are all sock puppets of Gary Hendershot. Bartender is the sock puppet of Buck, so is...

Which team and which menu are you refering to? There's a link to our team's statsman page on the front page of the web site.

The problems related to the 905x are the lockups these NICs provoke when there's too much traffic on the line. What JoJo is experiencing has nothing to do with this.

This morning you mean (it was 10:51am). Morning (North America) is often the most busy period because it's the moment everyone is up and in front of their computer. The Aussies browse before going to bed, the Europeans browse before leaving work and we browse before going to diner.

I know I can communicate with my DSL router and manually assign IP to all its ports (I have an USR8000). Also, a stupid question : is your networks cable (on the system that cannot connect) a cross-type or a regular?

Hmmm...I just lost 45 minutes because the stupid client wasn't able to connect to the port 8080 of their server. :-? I hope the client 3.0 final will be released soon and that it will fix these kind of bugs if bug it is.

I hope no SF F@h team member is considering to switch camp for SR's UD team. We need you as much as they do (even more, because of our relatively small number). Probably a vain thread, but I felt I had to write a reminder to make sure no one loses the focus. We don't always tell you, but we...

Nice translation indeed ;-)

And I thought everyone was as sick as I am of all those company mergers... Now even our team will be plaggued.

We would still cope fine Tannin, although I admit it needs extra decoding time to understand.

And with all our recently-added crunching power, only three teams are more productive than us up to the 40th position so the up coming month should be an easy ride in the park for us. We are now the 32nd most productive team overall, a nice improvement over our 39th rank of last week. I would...

Please gentlemen. My german is kinda rusty. I would rather not have to copy / paste a bunch of posts on babelfish in order to follow the discussion. If I start to post in French, PeeWee in Greek/Italian, Buck & Dr. Willie in German and others in different languages, nobody will understand...

P.S. I found out that I'm not a very good editor while trying to lay something about the OptoRite. The numbers were fine, but it's the text between the graphs that caused me problems. Don't worry about my competition. It's too bad that we don't share the same testbed or I could have sent you...

So James, you'll be Tim Zak's replacement then? (and compete with me for the reviews here?)

I read here and there that Microsoft could buy AMD (actually, they might be able to buy both AMD and Worldcom) and that's why they are more prone to support x86-64 than Intel's IA64. The next Xbox is supposed to feature an AMD CPU too BTW, not a Pentium whatever. If that would happen, I think...

The reports of those who tried it are positive. Even with the firmware hack, the C1 and C2 errors remain low, with no C3 error at all (unrecoverable errors). The only problems reported regard the medias compatibility as not every media can be writen at up to 48x. You'll have to try it...

I think I posted something about that a while ago on the front page, when it was not yet set in concrete. I hope Hitachi will do a better job on the customer support side than IBM did recently. There was many complains about the exagerate amount of time IBM took to proceed RMAs. While I think...

Bartender, Remember what I told you about the germanic humility?

In fact Mark, we are even more productive than that. It hasn't been a full week since some of us significantly increased their pace by adding more systems. Our current beat is about 1000+ points per week so we do not outclass them by 50%, we outclass them by 100%.

The news comes from an article about Computex 2002 at Anandtech. They even have a picture of the inside of the Shuttle XPC : I hope Shuttle will consider to make a shoe-box Athlon-based system too (P4 are poor anything@home crunchers), as it could be a great solution for people needing a lot...

Based on the few experiences I had with Germans, anything's worth bragging for them. I don't know what's the origin of the word "humble", but one thing's sure, it's not german.

Can someone explain me why I put an "a" in bleeding above? Damn stupid finger, I'll have to punish it once again. (going to his tool kit for the hammer...)

Oh, that's a cheap shot Doug. Don't forget that 50 usual users don't always have bleading edge computers and they don't let their machines run 24/7 like we do. Besides, although we are only 11 active members, we probably have more active CPUs than they have too.

Apparently, the VS01 firmware is less problematic than the VS02, so that's the one I suggest you to try. You'll have to download mktflash.exe to flash the firmware. Both files were available on the CDR-Info link above BTW (you are forcing me to do extra-work ;-)).

Gary's probably right about follicularly, but I.ll wait for Tony's definition. On another subject, do you guys what makes me happy? No? It's seeing at a F@h team with 50 active members that don't even produce more than 75% of what we do :mrgrn:

You can find the whole "how-to" at CDR-Info. Here a copy/paste of how to do it : LiteOn LTR-32125W, LTR-40125S users can "overclock" their recorders to the latest LTR- 48125W model with a simple firmware upgrade. The exact procedure is posted below for anyone who wish to try it. This can void...

PeeWee, you should find something else, I don't even have a couch. My bench and my weights take too much place in my living room. I don't hate the look of bloathdows XP, I only hate the code running it.

Why do you feel you have to use such complicated vocabulary when you are addressing a reply to me? This word is not even in my dictionary and I bet half the native english speaker don't have a clue what it means..

That damn monkey took advantage of the time I was sleeping to finally pass me once and for all. Oh well, I'll be on Doug in less than a week at my current pace. That's the highest I will climb though, the four other freaks are all crunching faster than I do. BTW, what happened to Cliptin? He...

Indeed, it's looking good too. I guess too much choice is like not enough.

If you want to be really hard on your 75GXP, put it in a sandwitch between two other hard drives (preferably two old 10Krpm SCSI drives like the first generation Cheetah) with no active cooling, then pass a few hours to reboot the system every 30 seconds or so. If the drive still doesn't fail...

I only tried PostNuke today and I admit I like it. Its layout remain more constant than the one of Xoops when you visit it with different browsers (at least with Moz and Opera). But it would be a hell of a job to port everything from Xoops to PostNuke wouldn't it? I don't think everyone wants...

Tannin has editing rights IIRC. Why doesn't he simply edit the current FAQ instead of duplicating the whole thing uselessly?

You too? I thought I was pretty good with my four computers. Now I feel I'm gonna have to buy a whole rackmount full of 1U enclosures, each one of them hosting a dual-Athlon MP setup in order to simply remain competitive. It's not for now, but I know where I'll spend the next 50K$ loose I'll...

There're currently four announcements at the top of this forum, too much IMO. The top is cluttered. Besides, the first thread of this forum should ALWAYS be the one about the rules of conduct. Make it sticky instead of just an announcement. Other announcements about short-lived news (like...

I don't know, but I think it's not as long as both are using the same core (the Fahcore_65.exe). I'm not sure at all though. I think that the client 3 lose less time when doing some tasks like auto-sending data and displaying the graphics of the non-console version of the client - ie, it's...

Thanks Tea. I had no clue that Statsman also monitored F@h stats. I'm sure our current pace is more like 1000 points a week because some of us (raise hand) added more computers in the last few days. However, I don't think we can hope to crunch faster than Redfolder just yet. Still, for a...

It's unfortunate that we don't see teams and users ranking past the 100th spot. I liked it, back in the early Genome@home days, to see us trampling some 30 teams a day. I miss that. Fortunately, I won't miss that for very long, as we should enter the top 100 in less than three weeks, if not...

I came accross a link leading me here. I hope it will end up on something tangible, as division is what's holding Linux back. Apparently, this union is fairly recent as all the news on that web site date from yesterday. Maybe I should have posted it on the front page then. Oh, whatever.

The Athlon XP and Athlon classic are both connected to a cable modem through a firewall cable/DSL router. The Thunderbird uses a DSL internet connection and the P2 333MHz is plugged on a LAN network ultimately connected to an OC-something internet connection. I forget to mentionthat I also use...

Add a P2 333MHz to the list above.

So basicly Tea, I'm up against three Athlon XP and two K6-III computers. It will be hard for me to resist, but I'll try anyway. For now, I have : Thunderbird 1.4GHz Athlon XP 1600+ Athlon "classic" 500MHz So I should lose soon. We'll see. I might have a few more tricks in my bag...

A lot of people don't have a clue about politics. I know a bunch of them. That's especially true for the elders. Back in their time, the priests were the ones who told them how to vote (the sky is blue, the hell is red - these were the colors of the two main political parties before 1960)...

You know what? I don't have any passport. I don't even need one to go to United States either. Here's another insight : U.K. AFAIK refuses to share a common currency with the rest of Europe. U.K. doesn't want to have their currency controlled by anyone else than themselve and especially not...

Did I read you have to? I don't have to do anything for Canada and Canadians. As for cooperation, fine, but they better be very humble and very polite with me when they are on my land. Yeah, you like Microsoft too. Bear with it? Bear Canadians? Bear Canadians telling me how to run MY...

Canadians aren't Frenchies. If you dare to speak French in Canada, people will, most of the time, either ignore you or answer in English, even if they understood what you said. But they expect you to talk to them in English IN Québec though, a behavior that makes me see red, turns my skin to...

Greg is from Italian origin too unless my memory is again trying to access the wrong register. I don't know if he can speaker Tifosi though. The only Italians I have experience with are the whining taxi drivers of Montréal (and they really fall on my nerves, I hope they aren't too representative).
