    The rumors are true; there is a linux project for the PS2. By the looks of it this site is an independent project since the rumors pointed to Sony actually building the destro but I could be wrong.

    Personally I think this is the best IDF info thus far, We have not only Serial ATA but Serial ATA II, Fiber LCD monitor connections, and a pretty red ServerWorks dually board on page 4.

    It would appear that Briteny Spears is in the spotlight again this time with an e-mail worm named after her.
    "The bug, labeled variously as "VBS/Britney-A" and "VBS_BRITNEYPIC.A," is considered low risk because it has infected a small number of computer users in Europe since it was initially detected on Thursday morning, computer experts said."

  • Anand Impressed wth the "Hammer"

    Published: Thursday, February 28, 2002 | By: Dennis

    When I saw the processor package the first thing I thought of was the P4. AMD is using a similar heat spreader on the "Hammers" to help dissipate heat and reduce the chance of cracked cores. They also have quite a few more pins, 754 on the ClawHammer and 940 pins on the SledgeHammer. shock smile

  • Rambus Finally Kicked to the Curb

    Published: Thursday, February 28, 2002 | By: Dennis

    IMO Rambus was introduced to early at a premium cost with poor performance. The Pentium 4 was released, performance increased, the price came down slightly but DDR was still better in some regards. Now that I think about it there was really no significant technology increased in the Rambus platform since its release back in the early P3 days, what a way to stay on top of things.

  • Denied A Computer By Dell

    Published: Thursday, February 28, 2002 | By: Dennis

    The owner of Weigand Combat Handguns Inc. went online and ordered a new Dell laptop. A few days later he received an email from Dell saying the order was canceled without a reason given. "They told me they were afraid I would use the computer for illegal purposes. Somehow I was singled out". In a way this sux but I also commend Dell on paying attention to who orders their products.
