Linux may be cutting-edge software, but it runs just fine on hardware that would make Microsoft's current operating systems beg for relief. I took four different distros and installed them on a five-year-old rebuilt IBM ThinkPad 600E supplied by LinuxCertifed. They proved that Linux on older hardware can be a cost-effective combination.

Why I should not be let near hardware

Why I should not be let near hardware 06/05/2005 11:10 PM
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....

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.

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.

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.

On Hardware Failures 01/01/2004 02:15 AM
One 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...

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.

Just as it looked as though Microsoft's antitrust wrangles were almost settled, the company is facing yet another probe in Europe over its hardware licensing policies. Earlier this week, the software giant managed to settle six of its US cases – brought by five states and the District of Columbia on behalf of consumers – which were based on antitrust and pricing complaints, lightening the Gates company wallet to the tune of around $200m.
