I must see again ep IV (on dvd or another way)

pc didn't booted with partition corrupted (after a cd write)
windows recovery didn't worked (as usual)
the only path was reinstall !
loaded the ubuntu cd into tray (live version)
rebooted then i run the ntfsfix /dev/hda
voila windows rescued.
While there installed thunderbird (better for security)
ps: please ms send some cash to ntfstools or ubuntu
they have saved you from curses

nice tool :google in cmdline
Now where is the ruby wsdl ?
/usr/bin/google:78:in `require': No such file to load -- soap/wsdlDriver (LoadError) from /usr/bin/google:78
In case you want to install it
you need soap4ruby
sudo apt-get install soap4r
and the ruby script ;)

What intella will do with non-working wimax business ?
I mean who reads the email while going in the park with the bike or running , When going to eat somewhere do you download pr0n ? Nahh . Wireless network is useless
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/22/2227255&tid=193&tid=126
Only for one thing : music , movies ,
I could listen to an internet radio while biking ( swimming ??)
or running .
I could watch some movies while going with train (12 hours or something)
So apple is good on selling thouse gizmos called ipods ,add Intel's wimax and some music = fun (remeber thouse mmx dancing monkeys...err intel employees? I think they will be back ;))
ps: intella is working with nokie for wimax enabled phones/gizmos
No one wants an 2.4Kg brick in his bag/back ,I just want some gizmos : ipod, iphone ,zaurus+wimax , nokie +ogg player ... That is my whish list ;)
Yay i like Over The Rhine and then i saw this comment
"boring derivative drowsy roots music for guys who miss ally mcbeal"

Not breathing with life support machines yet .
This morning i reached to a small shop , and asked:
"I need some hrrrr milk and hrrr coffee and ihhhhrr..."
Lady response was
"What did you say you want?"
Yah my voice is Dramatic baritone after passing to the
dark side (Just kidding :)) , noo after going trough flu sickness.
Mitika didn't understood me either ,
I could just said to him : "Join the hrrrr dark side hrrr "

This paper provides a background and rationale for some of the architecture and design decisions in the Cell processor, a processor optimized for compute-intensive and broadband rich media applications, jointly developed by Sony Group, Toshiba, and IBM.
The above titled paper and others (related to power cpu) will be presented
on 9-th June in Barcelona
http://www.power.org/news/events/barcelona/
Update : a good soul took screenshots of the presentation movie so now
i can see something
Now Dell have an evil brother (called apple)
and both of them compete on the high end area
"We are competing for those customers along with companies like HP, Sony, Apple, Alienware and those customers that basically build their own systems."
Don't know how this will end for DELL , i assume AMD
will embrace them with hands open , 50x15 is near
(amd want's 50% of market in 2015)
Amd is building fabs like mad: FishKill (with ibm) , Dresden (2 fabs in one)
What kept dell from using opterons, altlon64 is called Intell and something
green (not the aliens) , got nothing to do with production.
I laugh at apple when they speak like: ibm can't do cpu's
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.
Update:oh wait now they have another testing/research fab in Dresden
at computex it was spoted an dual core amd64 portable
Upadate:amd/ibm does have another fab in singapore with Chartered
An vague impression that many Cells /DC athlons will be born there in '06
If you use APT, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to access the latest security updates:
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
After that, run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/errata
hmm , so seems to be
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. "

sony shiped 90 millions of ps2 consoles as of June 2005
Spell with me again : 90 Millions , 90 Millions vs ...2 Millions 2Millions
I will estimate the numbers of xbox2 or revolution
~100-200 millions will be target numbers in next years
for power based cpu's (cell, xenon ...)
On cell developers will have compiler optimizations like autovectorisation and other ...
http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/tree-ssa/vectorization.html
I think it's easier for me to think cell
as mini cluster
powerpc as master (conductor) and spu's as slaves (orchestra) with crunching jobs submited to them
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)
Do search for yourself
http://www.google.com/search?q=G
"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 ...
spoted the quote on planet apache
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."

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."

I have installed ubuntu hoary (based on debian amd64) and works quite well (minus the flash plugin)
Simulators are developed for mips or alpha , can be a way to test debian.
Is true pearpc didn't quite worked with booting
ubuntu powerpc on my machine
I like to play with various machines (power, alpha ,mips) . There is always something to learn from porting software on them .
Heck there are vax simulators (ultimate CISC) - don't know how linux is working on that ;)
VAX Assembly looks interesting almost like C
