power is getting to it somewhere somehow, but nothing else comes on.
Yes, I've checked that the internal power connectors are connected.
Tomorrow I will bring it to the friendly local computer store where

hardware powers Wikipedia? Here's a detailed list of their servers,
their CPU stats, and the OS they're running (all RedHat 9 or Fedora,
it looks like).
To see how these servers handle the load, check out the Ganglia Cluster Stats.
Here's the budg

that leaves them flat broke from the w

12/27/2003 01:38 PMI’d be remiss not to pass on more of the helpful information
people have sent in response to the recent whine about the iBook’s
shortcomings:
- As posted before, uControl makes
remapping troublesome analphabetic keys easy, e.g., putting fn keys
back into usefulness and killing the caps lock, though it does require
you to be utterly up to date, Panther-wise.
- Regarding FM transmitters, Jonathan Woolson recommends this C Crane
device.
- Jonathan also mentions the importer of some industrial
design porn from Japan: titanium/aluminium Powerbook and iBook
stands that solve heat buildup problems and which echo the seemingly
unkillable trend of vertically-oriented food in restaurants.
- The heat under the left handrest can be reduced by NOT unchecking, as I had done, the option to
‘put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible’ when the
power adaptor is plugged in (thanks to Marshall Sokoloff for pointing out that
the disk, not the processor, is in that spot).
- The glowing sleep light can of course be covered with white
electrician’s tape, much in the same way that the television
screen can be painted black whenever a Jude Law movie comes on.

On Hardware Failures
On Hardware Failures
01/01/2004 02:15 AMOne of the computer industry's dirty little secrets is hardware
failure. The few of us who work in, near, or otherwise around large
computer installations take this for granted. Companies like Yahoo
have people on staff that spend a lot of their time dealing with
failing memory, buggy motherboards, smoked power supplies, bad disks,
and overheating CPUs. Google, from what I read, doesn't even bother
anymore. But the larger world probably doesn't see this very often.
Many are likely just...

Evolutionary Hardware
Evolutionary Hardware
08/12/2004 04:31 AMTaking evolutionary concepts and applying them to artificial
intelligence software is nothing new, but suddenly, it's
getting a lot more interest in the hardware field as
well (Salon stuff required). There's just one problem: even when
the evolutionary means come up with the necessary solution, it's not
always to figure out how or why. For some, this doesn't matter. If
they need the hardware to do something, and it does, they're perfectly
happy -- even if they can't explain it. For others, though, this is
troublesome. One other interesting aspect of this work is that,
apparently, some of the "evolved" hardware runs into patent problems.
This is particularly amusing, since patent protection should be
designed to stop humans from "stealing" ideas from others. However,
can you patent evolutionary ideas that a machine comes up with on its
own? It would be difficult to suggest that ideas where somehow
stolen.

Notes from NotCon: Hardware
Notes from NotCon: Hardware
06/08/2004 02:37 AMWell, anyway, since I'm up I may as well finish off my coverage of
Sunday's NotCon. After the
Geolocation panel (my notes), I joined the Hardware panel. Over the
entire day I self-consciously avoided all the political panels because
they just looked like they'd be incredibly frustrating,
confrontational. Ironically I decided that I wouldn't find the
Blogging panel quite as annoying, but more on that later in the day...
The Hardware panel comprised of talks by James Larrson, Steven
Goodwin, Matt Westcott, George Wright and Anil Madhavapeddy and was a
really mixed bag of the sublime and ridiculous.
There's something uniquely nostalgic about British geeks - their
fetishes for the computers of their youth (the BBC Micro and the
Sinclair Spectrum in particular) seem to overwhelm their
future-thinking impulses time and time again. I can't say that I'm
convinced that this is a good thing - it makes me wonder about how
British geekhood views its own chances of creating new technologies
that actually can push things forward. Maybe they feel it's just not
possible any more? Maybe they think no one will take them
seriously...?
That's not to say that Matt Westcott's illustration of new hard and
software trends on the Spectrum isn't impressive or entertaining. He
illustrates connecting the tiny computer to hard disks and compact
flash, talks about the demo scene and the "only project on sourceforge
for the Sinclair Spectrum". He ends up with a streaming video version
of the Chemical Brother's Let
Forever Be video (directed by Michel Gondry). All good fun - I
just can't help but feel that it's a little bit of a waste of a
talented man's time.
James Larrson's piece was similarly random - but here at least the
whole thing was clearly a bit tongue in cheek, and his presentational
skills were so good that someone should really give him a TV-series of
short introductions to crackpot inventors. He'd be awesome. The
project he was talking about was based around using a BBC Model B from
1982 to measure the changes in state of the mayonnaise, bread and
prawn components of a Marks and Spencer prawn sandwich - and using
that to tell the time. I'm not going to go into too much detail except
to say that he's managed to get the accuracy so good that now the
clock only loses/gains up to four hours in any given day.
I didn't get the name of the next guy - I think it was the Reverend
Rat - but he was showing how you could radically extend the range of
Bluetooth devices. Apparently by soldering it together with an antenna
he's extended the range from ten metres to the rather more
satisfyingly non-personal 35 miles (and more). His main planned use
for this particular piece of tech seemed to be to stand on top of Centrepoint
jacking into passer-by's phones. Or that could have been a joke. Funny
chap. Cool though...
Then we got to the three talks that were actually about the way
technology might evolve: Steven Goodwin's piece was on
hacking around with your house and TV to allow you to control things
long-distance (including recording TV on demand and stream it back to
your computer via - I think - e-mail), which wasn't really
particularly new in principle but nice to actually hear from someone
who's doing it throughout their home. [If you're interested in this
stuff, then the O'Reilly book Home Hacking
Projects for Geeks could be a good read.]
Then George
Wright talked about Interactive TV, why it wasn't the web and why
that's a good thing (in his words). The language he used about the
platform's restrictions (no return path in many cases, exhaustive
centralised testing on the platform required before it any product can
be rolled out, no literature to support development, completely
limited to broadcast companies etc) doesn't fill me with hope for the
future of iTV - particularly when compared to the possibilities of the
future ever-present fat-piped non-broadcast-limited, massively
flexible and responsive web - but he did make a good case for
convergence not being the point. We're still talking around
this stuff behind the scenes and I'll let you know if we come up with
anything interesting.
And finally - and my particular favourite of the session - Anil Madhavapeddy talked about
using camera phones as ubiquitous remote controls / mice. There were
some lovely aspects to this - the 'ooh / aah' bit coming when he
demoed applications with 'robust visual tags' that look a bit like the
2d bar codes that
the camera phone could recognise and manipulate. So you'd come up to a
some kind of public terminal, turn on the camera phone, arrange it so
that you could see the control you wished to manipulate on the phone's
screen, and then press the equivalent of a mouse button - at which
point the control on screen could be moved around just as if your
camera phone was a mouse (via Bluetooth or Wifi, I assume). It sounds
over-complex from this introduction, but some of the immediate
benefits were clear - the same tags could be used as static encoders
of commands in paper interfaces that you just printed out, there's a
built-in mechanism for manipulating money via a mobile phone that
opens up lots of possibilities for exchanging or buying things, etc.
etc. I'm going to be keeping an eye on this stuff, it was
fascinating...
And that's pretty much all I have to say about the Hardware panel
at the moment. I have to head off to a thing at the RAB on the "21st
Century Radio Listener" for work. I'll talk about the next session on
MP3s and Mash-Ups later in the day...

Dr. Hardware 2004 Build 5.5.0e
Dr. Hardware 2004 Build 5.5.0e
08/02/2004 01:57 PMDr. Hardwares tradition of precise computer analysis is going to be
continued under Windows 95, 98, NT4 and 2000 now. Against other system
information tools that are operating under Windows Dr. Hardware gets
its results not only by inquiring registry settings but also partially
through BIOS calls, I/O port accesses and register manipulation what
is sometimes a difficult job under Windows. As a result of that you
get what can be detected independent of the operating system. The
major advantage of this concept is that Dr. Hardware provides very
good analyzing results in cases where - for example - a component has
not been correctly installed or when Windows is running in safe mode.
Another true strength of this program is its high relevance. We
implement detection algorithms for new processors or chipsets one day
before releasing it - if necessary. Furthermore the detailed
description of all components and the in-depth-analysis of more
sophisticated stuff make Dr. Hardware to one of the most remarkable
programs of its sort. Last but not least we have made great efforts to
keep this program as compact and easy-to-use as possible. You will
find that its a real power tool and a good friend of your machine.

06/17/2004 05:02 AMThe other day, I got a note from a longtime reader (I won't reveal
their name as it might be embarrassing for them) about a hardware
upgrade to a NetWare server. In a large network, with many servers,
this is a fairly straightforward task. But in a single-server network,
such as a small business network, the process can be fraught with
danger.
