Dunno how well I trust that benchmark. Ran it on my TiBook and got 2813/2888. Ran it on my dual 800 Mhz P3 running Linux and Mozilla and got 6127/6066. Then I ran it on the same machine with Netscape 4.7 and got 809/818, slower by a factor of 8. …

The XP user switching thing seems like it has the potenitial for being a huge security hole. If I'm surfing through some private files and then switch users to someone else, does all the browser's memory and disk cache get flushed? If so, you migh…

I've wasted huge amounts of my life playing D2, although not as much recently. I just tend to follow the map hackers around. I'd heard talk of Blizzard locking accounts of the maphackers occasionally, but I guess it didn't have much of an effect. …

To be slightly more accurate, to invoke the C++ compiler, the command is "c++" or "g++". "cc" or "gcc" gets you the C compiler. If you use the C compiler on C++ code, the code will compile, but it will be linked with the wrong libraries.

Eeeew. Don't get Bose speakers. For the money you can do much better. My current speakers are JM Labs Electras, which are terrific. More affordable brands include Paradigm, PSB, Energy and NHT. If you don't want a full stereo system, the best…

They're definitely in a bind, but all the recent MIPS processors that SGI uses have been designed by SGI. Like you say, MIPS is concentrating on the embedded and console markets. Therefor SGI has had to design there own chips, I think since the R1…

To use the Altivec unit, you have to program it directly. The compiler won't just take regular C or C++ code and generate Altivec. Instead they add vector types, e.g. "vector float" or "vector int" and routines like vec_add or vec_madd (multiply t…
