I am still familiar with the PATA or IDE configuration. You physically connect the irritating and gigantic ribbon cables and set the jumper settings accordingly. Now its so high tech and all. Last time maximum of 4 devices, sure cannot go wrong one.

 

Don't forget, you've got those irritating power connectors beside those gigantic cables too.

 

If I'm not nursing a skin-scratch injury or bruise trying to get these connectors out, I'm slowly wasting 1 to 2 minutes trying to wiggle it free.

 

So irritating!

ddate = discordian date

 

And what is Discordianism y'all say?

 

Discordianism is a modern religion centered on the idea that chaos is all that there is, and that disorder and order, the former considered a concept distinct from chaos, are both illusions (referred to, respectively, as the "Eristic" and "Aneristic" illusions) that are imposed on chaos. It was founded circa 1958–1959 by Malaclypse the Younger with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia. There is some division as to whether it should be regarded as a parody religion, and if so to what degree.[1] It has been called "Zen for roundeyes", based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school. Discordianism recognizes chaos, discord, and dissent as valid and desirable qualities, in contrast with most religions, which idealize harmony and order. Eris, the Greek mythological goddess of discord, has also become the matron deity of the religion Discordianism.[2]

 

Aka, it's wa pu tong hwa :lol:

Not HP, but Linux... From the wiki (link above)

ddate, a program that prints the current date in the Discordian calendar, is part of the util-linux package of basic system utilities. As such, it is included in nearly all Linux distributions, despite some resistance. There are many other programs with similar functionality.

Military purchases 2,200 PS3s

Posted: 11:14 AM ET

 

It seems generous grandmothers aren't the only ones purchasing PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles this holiday season. The U.S. Dept. of Defense has announced plans to buy an additional 2,200 PS3s to complement a military supercomputer cluster running on 336 PS3 systems.

 

The military purchase was likely encouraged by Sony's recent PS3 price cut, which brought the price of a single console down to $299.

 

A military justification of review document explains the decision:

 

Though a single 3.2 GHz cell processor can deliver over 200 GFLOPS, whereas the Sony PS3 configuration delivers approximately 150 GFLOPS, the approximately tenfold cost difference per GFLOP makes the Sony PS3 the only viable technology for HPC applications.

 

According to Ars Technica, Sony sells the PS3 at a loss and hopes to make back the difference by selling games and accessories.

 

The reason that the PS3 is a more cost-effective way to buy Cell-powered GFLOPS than, say, the Cell blades that IBM actually makes specifically for supercomputing applications, is that the consoles come with a big, fat subsidy from Sony.

 

However, the military isn't likely to purchase any games for these PlayStations. The justification review states the systems will run a proprietary Linux-based operating system, which probably won't be able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Try changing channels, and play around with the signal type (auto, N, G, B).

 

Lastly can always grab SMC support.
