Linux XP 2005 - Is Real

Ever since Linux has become a viable option to use on desktop computers, all sorts of attempts have been made to emulate the look and feel of the ubiquitous Windows desktop. One of the more recent efforts in this respect comes from a Russian project called Linux XP.

Look ma' i'm on Mtv.ro
Money for nothing
Chicks for free ...

Tonight, 5th of december, from 11 PM (romanian time) MTV Romania will broadcast inside LENTI CHIRIAC's show "ROCKZONE", some LIVE shots from "MONSTERS OF TRANSYLVANIA ROCKFEST 2005". Don't MISS it, if U can catch it on your satelite! SPECIAL THANX to LENTI & the cameraman - HENN ATTILA

Linux z XP 2006
On an russian linux site

Monsterz of Transylvania
atika got some pictures from this rock festival
Yah the first one is me :P

Impressions:
Taine sang very well (artis looks a little like Jim Morrison) , I was impressed also by the hungarians (Tuzmadar) , ehh Northen Lights were so-so (I didn't expected much from turkish band) but they have a funny name (for an Euro-Asian country )
What i liked : before they actually started playing the man at keyboard sang intro from "Imperial March" -Star Wars that was really cool
Yah they looked strange for us , yah and the voice ...well artist sang like me when i'm good of nothing :average (and i do know when i stink at singing) . Guitarist looked good ,didn't impressed me .
Iron Mask - had the best guitarist from bands that performed in that night .
Incredible (Yah i liked how fast and good it was ) I liked the solo and some neo-classic style of him, Minus-es the vocalist it looked
bald like me :P and fat (at least i'm slim)
I liked the idea to be on stage with gloves
(Maybe is the kid in me)
The turkish vocalist was near me when guitarist from Iron Mask performed his
solo , Maybe they learn-ed something :)
Let's go to the Lame rock:Phantom-X : If I ever reach on stage i don't wan't to look
like them (blonde hair and silk ...etc) I wan't to be rough plain and simple
Tough i liked the idea of metal claws :P and guitarist's red ligt on the chest
(X-mass tree)
Intro was good , and i liked when guitarist went off stage , Maybe in future i will
buy one with radio transmitter (You are quite free with it).
And the Last band Anvil -They were impressive and did an great show - I liked the
vocalist (He was really funny and that matters in an show) Bass guitar player was very good (he made a little show) He looks like me when i cut my hair (zero).
Vocalist is a little crazy but is good and when he went with his guitar in the
back of stage and performed "Jimi-Hendrix" effect that kicked a-s-s , What was missing was to burn his guitar :)
Over all: even if they were 2-300 ppl , artist did their job very well and at
least it was like an private party for us :P
My revelation :Taine and I think Gothic + hungarians were very very good
and yes the guitarist from Iron Mask (10+)
Northen lights gave me an CD (Girl that filmed them) and i think we should applaude
them - Yah they do have a lot to learn - But in an age when every one listen
to crapp music (turkish + romanian mahnele) they try to wake up us and they did it for us
Thank You All
ps:Maybe they should move the rock festival in summer and with
more sponsors (free entry) and more media noise (not only MTV.ro)

Gingle Bells, Gingle Bells Drink a beer while it (me) don't smells

microsoft is dead
Cringely said so
"Microsoft's core businesses are slowing down. Google could become a major threat to Microsoft. What harm could Google cause Microsoft? Microsoft's greatest business vulnerability is Office. If a competitive product (or service) hit the market it could further dilute Microsoft's earnings since they'd have to lower Office prices to compete. Another great threat is Google could become an organizing influence in the Open Source world. They could guide the Open Source community and it could become a greater threat to Microsoft."

reading guitar tabs

They have some good tabs there (metallica, black sabbath)
guide from mxtabs

One day one colleague told me about mixing
"get on top" and "fade to black" from metallica (seems that both had same rhythm)
Don't know who sang "get on top" , Just google it :)
I think is Red Hot Chili Peppers but not so sure about it.
Sound of both melodies was good (run them in the same time)

VMX,or cell coprocessor for AMD cpus ?
It could be something like that (make sense from one point of view)

Source arstechica

"Ultimately, a new set of ISA extensions with a flashy name and a special logo program are going to be just one marketing weapon among many in the next phase of the war with Intel. AMD has established itself as the current CPU vendor of choice for tech savvy gamers, and a set of 3D-oriented ISA extensions that have some level of game studio support will help them reinforce that image in the face of Conroe."

UbuntuBugHuntingDay

"Breezy is now out and everybody has celebrated its release. You have, haven't you? Before we all start our now journey to an unknown destination, we need to clean up a bit all the dust everywhere. And the place with the most dust is probably our bug tracking systems. So we shall have a Bug Day.

The Hug Day. This is a very special Bug Day: on Hug Day, when someone closes a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution."

I like it :Hug Day

"How many is a brazillion?"

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He
concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff sits
stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the
President sits, head in hands. Finally, the President looks up and
asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Get the facrts ! now

chapter 10: Name Control

Yah i read that now (Thinking in C++, 2nd ed. Volume 1)

Removing in situ (in place) functions

"All definitions should be placed outside the class to keep the interface clean. If you want to optimize, use the inline keyword." What should i say ?: i agree with his POV , You can look at class and see in one shot it's functions - simple for eye

Feeling like thouse dogs who run after tail in circle.

I renew a ssl certificate and is the 10-th time i do it to get it right (organization field , unit) ,In a way i understand to identify with organization docs otherwise some phishers could buy trusted ssl certs and create some fake shops(See thouse ebay scams/spam) in another way i'm sick loosing time and even now i'm not shure

"Verifying the identity of your organization... If Starfield is unable to authenticate your organization based on the currently submitted information you will receive an e-mail notification prompting you to provide the necessary documentation via e-mail or fax."

Inlines & the compiler

"To understand when inlining is effective, it’s helpful to know what the compiler does when it encounters an inline."

almost at the end of chapter 9 ;)

"But for desktop software, or applications shared with other [DARK] forces, it makes sense for us to use Microsoft"

Yah Police story , or ms pr

I wonder if someone counts the beans spent on ms tax ...

you've now successfully flashed your new firmware your Microsoft device is now running Linux

Check this out : microsoft's router ! (done by asus in china) flashed with linux

"You've all heard of hacking the Linksys WRT54G routers.But what about some other routers. I thought I'd try my luck with a router some consider to be one of the worst on the market the Microsoft MN-700. This router runs a version of Windows CE by default but we'll see if we can change that."

And he did it

flat tyre on my mountain-bike

this morning i tried to jump over an sharp concrete edge and it worked only to hear "fsssssss" from front tyre, now need to get another one

The Stack class makes even better use of inlines

Agree , me out ;)

i'm at stash with inline functions

over 50% of this chapter , I will finish to test

Funny comment from this blog

_ Joi Ito installs Ubuntu on a ThinkPad:

"I bought a discounted IBM T42 ThinkPad and installed Ubuntu on it. I decided that I would try to get switched over to Linux (for now) before I headed off to OSCON later this week. It was amazingly easy to install and wifi, suspend and various hardware goodies seem to work. I still haven’t gotten my printer set up or my DVDs to play… Anyway, we’ll see if I’ll be able to make this trip without bringing my PowerBook."

Yes is true

That means i have to add the other applications under "root"

Now www.example.com/application1/index.aspx is already mounted in apache configuration

but www.example.com/application2/index.aspx is not so that was the error

Here is the error trace

The Lexra story is an interesting one
They cloned MIPS instruction set and worked well untill MIPS Inc. sued them

"I worked for Lexra, a scrappy CPU company, now out of business. The Lexra story is an interesting one, filled with lessons about the business of selling microprocessors and semiconductor intellectual property. I have recently searched the web and found many incorrect statements about Lexra. With this document, I hope to set the record straight."

64 bit mips cpu's from china - godson is back

I saw on linuxdevices that blxcpu firm works with AMD on some MIPS boards

In-Stat studied the Godson architecture and the Godson-2 processor and concluded that China is capable of designing world-class microprocessors !

The Godson architecture closely resembles the MIPS architecture from MIPS Technologies Inc. and is about 95 percent MIPS-compatible. In particular the Godson-2 processor is similar to the MIPS R10000, introduced in 1995

InteLLi crap (hardware error)

Wondering why you get "APIC error on CPU0" ?
Wonder no more here is the answer

>What does this kernel message mean?
>
>Apr  5 23:16:20 lfs kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 60(60)
>Apr  5 23:16:31 lfs kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 60(60)
>
>kernel is 2.6.5 with reiser4 patch.

Send Illegal Vector and Receive Illegal Vector at the same time.
This is more interesting than the usual 40(40) errors
(just Receive Illegal Vector), since 60 implies that the
CPU itself is the source of the bogus vector, whereas 40
usually implies a crap mainboard.

My guess is that either your hardware (whatever it is,
you didn't leave any clues) has problems with a noisy
APIC bus, broken chipset, or something like that, or
you enabled ACPI and the ACPI tables are crap.

using nmsformmailer script part II

download phpmailer from this address

wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/phpmailer/phpmailer-1.73.tar.gz

tar -zxvf phpmailer-1.73.tar.gz

copy and paste code from the previous Part I

and name it nmsformmail.php

Now you have to write the front-end (html page)

First create an file bad_referer.php with only these lines
<?php
echo "Bad referer";
?>

cp -r phpmailer/language .
cp phpmailer/class.* .

Unobtanium mistake no.1 :Poor Assembly language design

it's an black box (proprietary design) only for compiler "elite",
One day or another you have too see the assembly source code,
Real man do know assembly language ,even if they don't program
in it .

"IA64 assembly was never meant to be written by a human. It is a processor design driven by compiler research."

If you don't believe me , read intella's itanic manuals

intel..<<..amd..~..powerpc

need to know three things about the Itanium to pretty much automatically rule it out

1) Heat (and the related, power consumption). Not a joke, not a rumor. The Itanium makes the Prescott core look cool and energy-efficient by comparison.

2) Not designed to run the software in use by 99.5% of the PC market. Great for a custom supercomputer, okay for some servers, complete shit for normal desktop use.

3) Price. They hope to make it competitive by 2007? How long has it existed now, at 3-10x the price of the highest end x86 CPU? And someone actually needs to ask why it hasn't hit mainstream use yet?

This was post-ed on slahshdot

sis76x is slow - netcraft confirms it
well i knew something is wrong with this chipset (video and ide controller)
When playing movies , the stream is not real time and smooth as it should
and here is why :
"76x - if used with shared memory only - is not really usable in dual head configurations; even in single-head operation, some features are limited. This especially affects video overlay support (Xv): Although the SiS76x supports two video overlays, these are in most cases not usable: Heavy flicker in the video and the graphics may occure as a result of exceeding the available memory bandwidth."

Update: I added 512M of ram and now system is way faster, I will try some benchmarks soon

firebird on power status

Database: /home/mariuz/firebird20/firebird2/gen/empty.fdb

Crypto leaks across HyperThreaded CPUs (i386, P4, HTT+SMP only)

Abstract
========

The Pentium CPU shares caches between HyperThreads. This permits a local
process to gain a side-channel against cryptographic processes running
on the other HyperThread. Testing for cached data can be accomplished by
timing reads. Under some circumstances, this permits the spying process
to extract bits of the key. This has been demonstrated against OpenSSL.


Technical Details
=================

The full explanation of the issue can be found here:

http://www.daemonology.net/papers/htt.pdf


This issue affects only a subset of i386 systems.

Your system is not affected if you are running a CPU without HyperThreading.

Your system is not affected if you are running a non-SMP kernel.

Your system is not affected if you have disabled HyperThreading in your
BIOS, and confirmed that the virtual CPUs are not detected by the kernel
during boot.

Your system is affected, but probably not at risk, if you do not permit
shell access by untrusted users.


Additional resources:

http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt.asc


Solutions and Workarounds
=========================

This issue is fundamental to the design and implementation of
HyperThreading in Intel processors. Avoiding the problem is possible,
and two workarounds are available now. Others which may appear later are
also discussed.

Option 1. Disable HyperThreading in the BIOS.

 Disabling HyperThreading is a complete workaround for the issue.

Option 2. Run a non-SMP kernel.

 On single physical CPU systems, running a non-SMP kernel
 effectively disables HyperThreading. On a multi-CPU system, this
 option is not the best solution, since it will disable
 additional physical CPUs as well.

Maybe i should try to sing more and more - that's my happiness.
Let people see what is inside of me : sometimes rage , somedays furry and

I did it once , i did it twice (before i went to high scool)

Sorry apple if ibm can't do cpus (sony , microsoft, toshiba, nvidia , amd , via can confirm this) then who does ?
Name one firm that is selling 64 bit mobile cpus Now and is helped by
ibm . Hint: acer is selling some of thouse laptops with ferrari logo.

intel needed an design house for their [ coh coh ...mcrappy] phones , apple left desktop/home space for others (linux,ms) , they need to sell DRM-ed music/movies on the phone/ipod/media center (control your crappy iLife)

They meet and ...i can only speculate

"The company can count some high-volume customers for its applications chip. But its baseband chip--the core communications center of a cell phone--had been a flop.

Intel, which did not disclose the maker of the new phone, also said its new baseband chip code-named Hermon--which operates on third-generation cellular networks--is still on track to be introduced in the second half of the year. "

Vectorial code (simd) aka symphony is arranged by compiler (composer) at another time

Don't forget that memory is closer to cpu (integrated controller) and doesn't need to much of cache and OOo prediction for brached code (low latency)

time to change source.list on my debian server

from sarge - > stable

yeah debian sarge now is stable

welcome to dark side apple

"I tend to lend toward thinking the reason Apple switched is that the [ed: dark force] ...effect around Intel is just too strong "

Apple is irrelevant on desktop/server/home space anyway

so they have joined to Dark side club (aka Wintel): ms-intel-apple

Age of DRM enabled devices has come ...

Itanic - dead like an rusty shipwreck

"If Intel makes a habit of poor performance in the Itanium segment,
it will not be long before the Itanium goes the way of the Alpha."

Why do i delete gmail's emails

I think is my habbit from 1-2Gbytes drives era
when email accounts were under 4-5MBytes

No wonder other people use greasemonkey
for one click delete

Have to wake up and never delete email : drives are over 500Gbytes and webemail
over ~2Gbits and growing

amd vs intel's dual core

QoD:

" you can take a car and put two 4 cylinder engines on it, but it does not make it a V8. intel has slapped two cores together on a bus that does not have enough bandwidth for one CPU."

Apple is switching to Intel processors - confirmed

I think they like to be with performance underdog aka Intella

and quote of the day

"This is hilarious, it’s like Apple has a performance persecution complex. The one time they decide to switch processors, instead of going with the performance king (AMD), they go with intel. Priceless."

The Cell Processor Programming Model

A paper will be presented by Arnd Bergmann in 22-25 June at LinuxTag 2005

"Porting Linux to run on Cells PowerPC core is a relatively easy task because of the similarities to existing platforms like IBM pSeries or Apple Power Macintosh, but does not give access to the enormous computing power of the SPUs.

Only the kernel is able to directly communicate with an SPU and therefore needs to abstract the hardware interface into system calls or device drivers. The most important functions of the user interface including loading a program binary into an SPU, transferring memory between an SPU program and a Linux user space application and synchronizing the execution. Other challenges are the integration of SPU program execution into existing tools like gdb or oprofile.

A model has been proposed to provide an interface that attempts to integrate well into the existing set of Linux system calls and enable software authors to easily integrate the use of SPUs into their own libraries and applications."
