That would be Pineview and Cedar Trail. I am not sure if the CPU portion of these cores have the same power consumption as the N270; their TDP includes the consumption of the on-die GPU as well. As far as computational power goes, they are

How can you produce such a wall of text over a little misnomer? You obviously understood that I am referring to the current incarnation of the ARMv7 ISA, a.k.a the Cortex family.

No I got your point exactly. But Diamondville, Pineview et al. represents the current available state of the art in mobile x86 cores from Intel. Medfield isn't released yet, but when it shows up I would be pleased seeing it pitted against t

by hackermom 15y ago
This isn't just about computational performance. It's just as much about power consumption. Diamondville sits at about 2.5 watts per core, while the A9 sits at under 300 mW per core, totalling to some orders of magnitude better performance

While I am not entirely surprised, this still makes me so happy to see, and makes me even more positive about a more efficient future of computing through the ARM core and its ISA. That Atom chip was even clocked 33% higher, and if my memor

I like the sound of that. While I recognize Xcode's aptness and broad qualities, I'm still really the Makefile'n'text editor kinda developer.

So now I need to fire all of Xcode up just to do some icon editing or profiling some OpenGL code? :/ I hope these are at least still in the form of normal apps located within the Xcode bundle.

Well that was a few amusing misunderstandings about OS X :)

I never liked Edison. He always came off as a simple and lucky hack; just a businessman, while Tesla was the genius and inventor the world still owes all to.

Funny headline allusion error. It was a nice surprise to see that they were 100% funded in just 8 hours. I guess Notch's push made a big difference.

How do you imagine that the copy protection would allow for the software to migrate from its original and intended medium to another medium, while at the same time still being functionally copy protected?

Unnecessarily inflammatory article. Back then, almost every single game released on the Amiga and Atari etc. had some form of copy protection, but the copy protections of that time were never a hassle or in the way for the user of the softw

I learned by typing in BASIC program listings from computer magazines on my VIC-20 in the mid 80s. That slowly transitioned to modifying programs to see what would happen. At some blurry point the trial and error shifted to me actually unde

I would want that to be bootable before even considering it. Give me anything bootable that is faster than Apple's current codebase for HFS+ and I'll buy it.

Yeah I'm aware of that part. I submitted a number of design suggestions, as well as a patch, to the OBSD devs which disregarded the root ownership check if the SFTP subsystem was called by a connecting client, but no one bothered even discu

No, in fact I update every 6 months ever since I started using OpenBSD back in 1999. The problem isn't setting up OpenSSH to offer chrooted sftp access. My gripe is that the sftp subsystem for no solid reason requires that a user directory

I can happily report to you that your 11g wifi link's data throughput is fully saturated. Achievement unlocked!

How do you mean, SFTP is a hack that suffers from all the same problems? SFTP is a new protocol, it's not the same as FTP. It doesn't concern itself with data port nonsense, and while it doesn't offer authentication or secure transfers in i

by hackermom 15y ago
I think SFTP is an excellent alternative to FTP (as well as FTP over SSL/TLS). It's a whole lot safer than FTP and it solves the archaic annoyance of data ports. Sadly the OpenSSH solution is over the top awkward when it comes to setting up

In your specific case, this wouldn't have happened if your SSHd had listened to something else than port 22.

Sheesh! Let your SSHd listen to something else than the standard port already!

For those who never dealt with the server end of the web in the mid-to-late 90s I can tell you that native executables for CGI was at that time not the least rare or uncommon.

My personal view of this is that the internet is no different than access to a telephone landline or a mobile network, a bicycle, a car or public transport. No one denies you access to transport or communication - you have a human right to

THAT is a good point. I could see how that scenario can be abused - almost entirely because of PayPal having the "destroy counterfeit products" clause in the first place. Feels like this should be enough to put the law on their behinds to h

We don't, but the end result for the affected party (the seller) is the same - he lost $2500 worth of goods due to the buyer violating his property and material rights on request of PayPal.
