andlinux

QUOTE

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed.

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.

THIS IS GOOD-BUYING IN CHINA

binary — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:49:19 +0800

A man went on a business to China and wanted to buy some gifts for his kids. He went to a shop and found a nice looking CD player. Wary of buying inferior goods, he asked the shopkeeper, 'What would happen if this does not work?'

The shopkeeper quietly points to the only sign in English that reads, 'GUARANTEE NO SPOILT'.

Feeling assured, he paid for the CD player and returns to his hotel. He tried to use the CD player after returning to the hotel but it would not even switch on.

He quickly return to the shop and asked for a refund or an exchange for another unit. When the shopkeeper refuse to give either, the man points to the sign assuring him of a guarantee.

The shopkeeper then said, 'Brother, you are in China . We read from the right to the left.'

Turn Yourself Into a Simpsons Character

binary — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 16:36:10 +0800

Go to simpsonizeme.com, upload a photo of yourself and the application analyzes your face, turning you into an honorary Springfield resident.

Here are some tips for you:

1. The site is under a heavy load, so if you keep getting errors, try again.
2. Your picture needs to be at least 640x480, but bigger is better. Go for 800x600 to be safe.
3. 72dpi is OK, but again: bigger is better.
4. Straight-on head shots are all that seem to work. If you get errors, go into Photoshop and pump up the contrast settings. The more, the better.
5. While in Photoshop, removing any random items behind your head will also improve your results, especially if they have a lot of texture. A white wall works, but things like bricks, trees and skylines need to go.

Cancel Your Credit Cards Before You Die

binary — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 13:55:39 +0800

Just got this from my email... quite funny..

Well, I've always called CITIBANK SHITIBANK... So here goes...It's all
about money for CitiBank Credit Cards whenyou die...

This is too funny! It takes all kinds to make the world go round. Be sure and cancel yourcredit
cards before you die.

This is easy to see happening, customer service being what it is...My Aunt died this past January.

Citibank billed her for February and March for their monthly service charge on her credit card, and
then added late feesand interest on the monthly charge... the balance
hadbeen $0.00... Now it was somewhere around $60.00. Iplaced the following
phone call to CitiBank:

Me: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January."

CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the latefees and charges still apply."

Me: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections"
CitiBank: "Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been."

Me: "So, what will they do when they find out she isdead?"

CitiBank: "Either report her account to the frauds division, or report her to the credit bureau maybe both!"

Me: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"

CitiBank: "...excuse me...?"

Me: "Did you just get what I was telling you... the part about her being dead?"

CitiBank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor!"(Supervisor gets on the phone)

Me: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."

CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."

Me: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"

CitiBank: ".....(stammer)" ".... Are you her lawyer?"

Me: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given... )

CitiBank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Me: "Sure."(Fax number is given)(After they get the fax.)

CitiBank: "Our system just isn't setup for death"

Me: "Oh..."

CitiBank: "I don't know what more I can do to help.."

Me: "Well... if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her... I suppose... Don't really think she will care..."

CitiBank: "Well... the late fees and charges do stillapply."

Me: "Would you like her new billing address?"

CitiBank: "That might help." Me: " Nilai Memorial Park Cemetery (North South Highwayand plot number given.)

CitiBank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Me: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"

IBM Unleashes World's Fastest Proc.....

binary — Wed, 23 May 2007 09:04:00 +0800

QUOTE

While Intel and AMD continue to duke it out on the CPU front, the guys at IBM have unveiled a new dual-core processor that can hit 4.7GHz without sucking up so much power. To be more exact, the Power6 has just two cores, but both of them run at a blistering 4.7GHz - 2.5 times faster than the speediest Power5+ processor. The Power6 also has double the bandwidth and over four times as much cache as the Power5+. Because the Power6 is based on 65nm silicon-on-insulator process technology, IBM boasts the new chip "doubles the speed of the previous generation POWER5 while using nearly the same amount of electricity to run and cool it." To accommodate its new hotness, IBM has also introduced a new server: the System p 570. According to IBM, this machine "claims the No.1 spots in the four most widely used performance benchmarks for Unix servers - SPECint2006, SPECfp2006, SPECjbb2005 and TPC-C"-a first for a single system. Perhaps someone at Apple right now is smacking their forehead as they yell out "doh!" :-)

Hmm.. IBM did it again. I wonder if Intel or AMD could do such thing to come out with super proc like this. Solute IBM...

8-Core Intel Xeon 'V8" Sneak Peek

binary — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 20:55:27 +0800

8-Core Intel Xeon 'V8' Sneak Peek - Dual Quads - The Processor Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmark scores are more than double those of a Core 2 Duo QX6800!!

QUOTE

If you flip through the SiSoft SANDRA screenshots above you see just how much raw horsepower is lurking under this rig's hood. The Processor Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmark scores are more than double those of a Core 2 Duo QX6800. And the Memory Bandwidth benchmark reported maximum bandwidth scores in the neighborhood of 4GB/s, which is low by today's standards and about 1GB/s off the mark set by the QX6800.

We also ran a default 3DMark06 test and a multi-threaded Cinebench v9.5 benchmark on this rig and were thoroughly impressed. The overall 3Dmark06 score was 13,002 (SM2.0=5,104 / HDR & SM3.0=4,932); the CPU score was 6,556 - almost 500 points higher than the rig Intel was showing off at CES. And the rig completed the Cinebench rendering pass in only 10 seconds, which is about 4-5 seconds faster then a quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6800.

The Advantage of Being an ARAB

binary — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 14:30:15 +0800

An old Arab lived close to New York City for more than 40 years. One day, he decided that he would love to plant potatoes and herbs in his garden, but he knew he was alone and too old and weak. His son was in college in Paris, so the old man sent him an e-mail explaining the problem:

"Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden.
I am sure, if only you were here, that you would help me and dig up the garden for me. I love you, your father."

The following day, the old man received a response e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, please don't touch the garden. That is where I have hidden the THING.' I love you, too, Ahmed."

At 4pm the FBI and the Rangers visited the house of the old man and took the whole garden apart, searching every inch. But they couldn't find anything. Dissappointed, they left the house. The next day, the old man received another e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes. That is all I could do for you from here. Your loving son, Ahmed".
