This is the calm before the storm people. Something big is brewing, but in the meantime it looks like news is going to be scarce. If you find any interesting links today, post them in the comments thread.

Hopefully we'll have some more help for news posting soon. I've gotten a pretty good response to my "help wanted" post, and we'll be talking to a few people this weekend about helping out around here. If you sent me an email and I haven't replied, I'll get to you. I promise ;-)

#19471 Posted on: 10/31/2002 07:16 PM Not really a surprise from Microsoft: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-963777.html "The next version of Microsoft's Office software will run only on the latest versions of the company's operating systems, Microsoft confirmed Tuesday." ************************************************** Intel Appels Judge's Ruling http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1106-964009.html "A U.S. District Court judge issued an injunction Wednesday that bars Intel from making and selling its Itanium processor, but immediately suspended that order to allow the chipmaker to appeal the ruling." *************************************************** Can AMD bounce back? http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-963806.html "Intel took a substantial amount of market share from rival Advanced Micro Devices during the third quarter, but analysts say AMD will likely bounce back as chip inventories return to normal." *************************************************** And one tidbit: I have read that Wal-Mart will start selling Linux based systems in the near future That is all for now I haven't lost my mind; It's backed up on disk somewhere.

#19472 Posted on: 10/31/2002 09:27 PM A U.S. District Court judge issued an injunction Wednesday that bars Intel from making and selling its Itanium processor I don't see how that'll make any change to the Itanic's sales. RMN ~~~

#19474 Posted on: 10/31/2002 09:45 PM Originally posted by Bateman81 And one tidbit: I have read that Wal-Mart will start selling Linux based systems in the near future Ths OS is called Lindows. It's based on Linux, has a Windows-like OS and I think can run a few windows apps. The other apps you get from [URL=http://www.lindows.com]Lindows's Website[/URL] (I think it uses Open Office or something like that). I think the PC's w/ Lindows from walmart are $200 or so ($320 if you want such luxuries as a monitor...), but I could be wrong on that. It's kinda interesting to check out. ->Computers ->Folding for team 3074

I've only done just over a measly 5k units for the project, but this news has rubbed me up the wrong way big time. Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant

#19477 Posted on: 10/31/2002 10:26 PM yeah, i saw that heads-up over at ars earlier... i also saw 'Computer stuff-ups hobble US ICBM arsenal over at the register!! spikegifted.net "At the very beginning of the 19th century chemists generally thought that compounds from living organisms were too complicated in structure to be capable of artificial synthesis from non-living things, and that a 'vital force' or vitalism conferred the characteristics of living beings on this form of matter." Well, how wrong were they? So much for dogma...

#19485 Posted on: 11/01/2002 03:20 AM Wal-Mart recently added Lycoris offerings to their previous Lindows offerings - I don't have the URL, but /. mentioned that today or late yesterday. Any way I figure it, that's "real" LINIX. 9-) 2xCel500 (oc600) on a BP6 and 2xCel533 (oc600) on another BP6 | 2xXP1800+ on a s2460 and 1xXP1800+ (so far) on a s2462

#19492 Posted on: 11/01/2002 07:38 AM Tyan s2665 maybe? The PDF says it only has 4 memory slots. Is that a mini pci slot for a raid card near the 32bit pci slot? It's either the tyan, msi, or SM. anatolli Life's short and hard, like a body building elf

#19495 Posted on: 11/01/2002 07:49 AM Scsi connectors are in the wrong spot, as well as the number of 64bit pci connectors. hmmm.... the more I stare at it, the more it screams supermicro to me. I can't put my finger on it, but that is what I'm starting to think. /me goes off in search of an old forum post... anatolli edit: SCORE! MSI is the maker of that board. pulled from one of my old posts (about half way down) could fooled me. something was telling me "SuperMicro" on that board.
