Except Carmack, as much as I hate to say it, was simply wrong. If you run the GPU at full throttle then you get the power draw that he reported. However, if you run the CPU AND the…

In my tests of a Supermicro ARS-111GL-NHR with a Nvidia GH200 chipset, I found that my benchmarks performed far better with the RHEL 9 aarch64+64k kernel versus the standard aarch6…

Prime95 is my gold standard for CPU and memory testing. Everything from desktops to HPC and clustered filesystems get a 24 hour “blend” of tests. If that passes without any instabi…

I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago to find Supermicro sells a 3U chassis that runs 8x Ryzen 7000 series CPUs supporting ECC. If one doesn’t need more than 128GB of RAM per s…

This would be very useful to me in helping to source CPUs for a +40PB Ceph cluster that I’m building at a University. Could this be extended to include server grade AMD SP3 CPUs? I…

It will be interesting to see what Valve _recommends_ as their preferred Linux distribution and even more so if they roll their own.

I find this news interesting in light of Dell's February acquisition of backup and recovery startup Appassure software which competes directly with Quest Software's NetVault Backup…

I think we should really take a moment to thank RIM for what they've done for the market place. If it weren't for them, where would mobile instant messaging be? Think down the road…

Forgive me if I've heard wrong or if this is just wishful thinking, but doesn't Google do this with Navigation? I believe there's an option to view a traffic layer and from what I'…

This is the best 'feature' to come along for quite some time. Reading through the comments turned up the "Samygo Project" aimed towards rooting Samsung televisions. I can't be the …

I agree with the assumption of this projects application though I find it maddening that they're choosing to look 'up' instead of _down_. I believe more practical value can be obta…

Need some good feedback here. The site was kicked off a few months ago, but traffic has been a trickle. We're new at this and some advice would be profoundly appreciated!

This could be a good way to stretch the life of an old laptop especially for gaming or number crunching though it's probably not for LAN parties.

I'm working out of PSU on a humanitarian engineering and social entrepreneurship venture based in India. I have to say that Moodle is light years ahead of the competition. I'm spea…

The first productive applications that will utilize these speeds will be grid-based computing projects. Initial iterations of artificial intelligence will require large computing r…

The latest comment as of this writing indicates that removing iStat fixes the problem. Great news guys, in my case the problem has been solved completely, just uninstall iStat menu…

Bitcoiner was just released on the Android market though I haven't had the chance to dive into it yet. Can anyone comment on it's merits?

When does money start to become "real currency"? Numbers on an ATM machine are only representative of the physical currency that I can extract from a bank. A message on an IM windo…

Trying to release a Bitcoin app on Apple's app store may preclude cautionary tales of how not to get noticed. Bringing something like this into the mainstream could otherwise be ha…

The headline reminded me of a video of Larry Ellison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UYa6gQC14o
