Normally, I would recommend the Oxygen 2D accelerator card but that seems only to work with EV6 and yours is EV5. There is a Radeon 7000 as well, but I don't know if that works with your processor. I think it is 32MB and has 3D support. The ELSA and PowerStorm apparently have some limitations when i...

HTTPS would be nice, though of course leave HTTP an option... wait, if it's incompatible, does that drive D1 sales? :) I'm not running GET commands. More, the Wiki will eventually have an archive of useful/important threads. If you want, you can email me a list of threads you think deserve archivin...

Sun Ultra 5. They don't seem to be considered worth much these days and some people are selling huge lots of them. But the machine has decent specs for the time.

It's kinda like the Alphaserver DS10 of Sun.

Hopefully you can get more traffic over there. Every time I look at it, there's very little if anything new and that sucks. :( It will have to be able to run without HTTPS, since alot of older computers browsers don't support modern encryption protocols. On the other hand it may end up being inacces...

A VAXstation. Even if it just lives as a museum piece.

Not interested in that cloud computing stuff. I'm not going to pay someone to host my files, or rent computer time. No matter what they do, there will always be a way for people to have their own computers, even if it's just a Raspberry PI, or something like that and I intend to continue to do so, f...

If you do find it, make sure you hold onto it tightly, because you may never find it again.

What you really want for long term archival purposes is M-DISC. It's like carving your data into a stone disk.

Go for it. Just don't complain in 10 years when your only choice is Intel no matter how much you pay.

That's a depressing and bleak dystopian future.

The only thing remotely close to a flight simulator is Certain Impact. It's more of an arcade game than anything, but it is cool anyways. IT's a WWI biplane game, where you have to blow up the train before it gets to it's destination, while avoiding and destroying the enemy planes sent to intercept ...

Just make sure the package isn't intercepted by the tailored operations unit.

Mostly only selling widescreen monitors and not standard definition ones. That really pisses me off. I don't care if joe six pack wants to watch DVD's, sell me a proper sized screen, thanks. Trying to get rid of physical media. What's gonna happen if the internet goes down and everyone is dependent ...

Not real excited at the notion that I should have to replace my Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge machine because of this stupid issue. Though the Sandy Bridge machine is in its twilight years, I just don't feel like spending money to replace it, right now. Atleast the Alpha, MIPS and SPARC aren't affecte...

Has to have 24 bit graphics. A decent amount of working software and preferably a decent sound card. I prefer to be able to use them like a PC. I don't mind doing command line, as long as I'm not stuck with only that. That's why I pretty much only have SGI's. But do have an Alpha configured as a wor...

Not every SGI will survive for forever, but if it's honestly something we care about (and I have every indication that we do), we certainly have the skills, knowledge, and technology to keep a lot of units of a lot of models of SGIs running for a lot of years into the future. Nothing is forever. Es...
