“For a long time, choosing hardware for a Windows server was an easy job. Everything was 32-bit, and the choices were Compaq, Dell, HP or IBM. If a company had a single vendor policy, all IT had to pick was the number of processors, the amount of memory and whether to go with a rack or tower model. Choices are getting more complicated. The industry faces an uncertain transition to 64-bit technologies with several routes…

Netopia to Certify VoWLAN Phones

Netopia to Certify VoWLAN Phones 01/23/2004 04:14 PM
Netopia said it has created a voice over Wi-Fi phone certification program: The program will certify that voice over Wi-Fi phones interoperate with Netopia's VoIP gateways. This is fine for Netopia, but doesn't guarantee that such phones will interoperate with gateways from any VoIP gateway. The CNET reporter who wrote this article could afford to think a bit more critically rather than buying hook, line, and sinker everything companies tell her. The story reads like an advertisement for voice over Wi-Fi. She says here: "Some experts predict that cordless Wi-Fi phones could eventually replace cellular phones." I'd love to know who those experts are. Wi-Fi is a local area networking technology and it's ridiculous to imagine that it would ever cover the same amount of area as a cell phone network....

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

(KB825116) 11/04/2003 11:37 PM
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw. 11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow patching of all language installations supported by the affected Operating Systems.

I like my iBook. Its name is Snowy. Here’s what it’s missing:

• A way to easily disable the caps lock key, for those of us whose large clumsy hands keep hitting it by mistake.
• Better yet, no caps lock at all: for such a rarely-used key it takes up inordinate space on the keyboard. You could lock and unlock caps by hitting Shift twice, no?
• A low-wattage FM transmitter, so audio can be played through a home stereo without mucking with jacks and cables.
• Somewhere else for the CPU. Even with ample circulation the heat buildup under the heel of my left hand is annoying.
• Better access to the function keys. I’m roughly four times more interested in using f-keys than I am in Exposé or adjusting volume or screen brightness, yet I have to use a combination of keys to get to them.
• A full stop/period/dot/whatever that doesn’t require the shift key (particular to AZERTY keyboards but a pain nonetheless).
• The ability to close the screen without it going to sleep, so it can operate as an unobtrusive stereo component, server, downloader, whatever.
• It should sense whenever I enter the room and immediately begin playing Back in Black by AC/DC.

Just wanted to get that out.

I have this morning failed to install a new motherboard (an Asus P4P800-E) on my machine. The little internal LED is on indicating that 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 they they have the decency not to laugh at me until I've left....

Wikimedia servers - Wikimedia's Meta wiki: Ever wanted to know exactly what 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 et for hardware — they're about to spend another $20,000 and that leaves them flat broke from the w ave of generosity from a year ago.

I swear, if I won the lottery, I'd give my first million to Wikipedia. For now, $25 will have to do.

Hardware Redux

Hardware Redux 12/27/2003 01:38 PM

I’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.

Evolutionary Hardware

Evolutionary Hardware 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
Taking 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.
