turthalion writes: This is my journal following the trials and tribulations of a senior technician, from the early days after the Great Resynchronization to the end of the Empire (GrS 0 — GrS 39) [35 BBY to 4 ABY].
We've finally reached the stage where our intrepid technician is helping review plans for the DS-1 Mobile Enforcement Dome or "Death Star"--no one liked his suggested name of "I can't believe it's not a moon."

JimLynch writes: Full-featured desktop Linux distributions like PCLinuxOS and Linux Mint are quite useful, but there are times when a smaller and lighter distro can also be desirable. CDlinux is petite mini-distro that can be installed on a USB device or on a Windows C: partition.

Submission + - AMD Phenom II X6, 6-Cores On A Budget (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: "AMD is officially launching two six-core processors today, the Phenom II X6 1090T and the Phenom II X6 1055T. Although the new Phenom II X6 has two more cores than previous Phenom II X4 processors, the executions cores themselves are largely unchanged. However, with this new generation of processors, AMD is introducing a new feature dubbed Turbo Core. AMD's Turbo Core technology automatically increases the frequency of three active CPU cores by up to 500MHz, while inactive cores remained idle. Tests show the Phenom II X6 1090T performing in roughly on par with the Core i7 870 and Core i7 975, depending on the app, but the chip will retail for hundreds less."

Comment 12 showing... and they're all ours (Score 1) 394

Got 12 here at work for various purposes. Two on one SSID on the corporate network for roaming, and a bunch of others for different departments to run their own isolated test environments.

It gets a bit hairy at times when you want to do testing that requires a noise-free spectrum.

It's normally only 11, but we've got an extra one set up at the moment. Our "show guy" is setting up the environment he's taking to Bingoworld in May.

We also have a number of 900MHz transmitters, but those don't broadcast in a way that can be seen by anything but one of our own handsets.

Comment Max Payne and flying saucers (Score 1) 65

My world was a spinning jumble of images, burned into the core of my mind. Valkyr was bad news, sending you sky-high for a psychedelic ride on flying saucers.

Aesir was the darling of the stock market, but I knew the saucer stink would stick to those at the top. I'd pay them a visit, and bring their flying saucer crashing back to earth.
