do you want PS/2 or USB? for PS/2 you can get a dell at101 (search for 227KN) on ebay for pretty low prices, it's not too loud although yeah louder than a membrane keyboard would be. For USB and a membrane (rubber dome) the SGI usb ones are pretty good, they're like $15 on ebay but are all ISO layout (105 key) if I remember. For a USB non-membrane keyboard the ABS M1 keyboard is pretty cheap on newegg.

I mod a site with vBulliten and upgrading between versions definitely causes weird issues. I like how the forum is now :)

Aside from the name of the site, picture at the top and about half the avatars there's not much really here about anime. I know there is an anime forum but it's never active.

Sorry, if this is out topic, but: -can a Qube2 boot/run IRIX? This is new to me, and I'm curious. All the best,

No it can't but you can download vmware player from vmware's site for free.

Oh, well, I see. Sorry if it was a silly question; it already seemed to me very weird, since despite the fact that both were MIPS platforms, IRIX is very tied to the adjacent hardware. But good to know it anyway. Thanks!

Yes they are both MIPS however the implementations are different so it is not compatible.

If I were to put a number on it, probably around $2000 per year. The SDSL package I use allows self hosted servers and is pretty expensive at $280 per month, but I do use it for other things too. Power costs are fairly significant for the O350s as well.

If you're just looking to start a web site and aren't as hardcore about running your own hardware at home, I'm sure you can do it for much less at a hosting facility.


Holy smokes, a decent ISP seems expensive in the states. I guess it goes up a bit when you want a fixed IP and run a lot of traffic, but still.

Yeah if you want unblocked ports ISPs charge ridiculous money here, it's such a scam really. The ISPs do this under the guise of "helping customers" by "blocking possible spam senders" and "blocking trojans" but really it's just to make more money.

Bugatti Veyron is a devolution of the EB110 which was a great car into a trophy car. Ferraris are nice but their maintenance is ridiculously more expensive than other supercars.

I think libel and defamation mainly only hold up in places where there is still some sort of honour that families or places carry, US has none of that obviously.

Wrote on the subject of New HP 712/60 day! 60MHz & 96MB at March 17, 2010, 6:38 p.m...
Picked up a 712/60 cheap off ebay and it's pretty cool (and very very quiet). Maximum ram is 128MB so I might try to swap 2x16MB sticks to 2x32MB ones in the future but I haven't loaded anything on it yet. It does have the video ram installed which is awesome but I don't know how much it expands the capabilities.

Anyway I took 2 internal shots and have some external ones from the auction

I got new ram sticks so it's at the maximum 128MB and I found a 2GB drive randomly so I was able to install NextStep 3.3 on it.

I'll take it if you don't want it lol. I think those were mainly sold for computational computing (is that even a word) aka data processing, etc. I think there was some Itanium 3D software when they were first out (ZX2000,ZX6000) but died off when those were killed.

Nvidia's last IA64 driver is ancient and requires a quite old kernel (I think 2.4) so you might be able to use it.
