Microsoft has a history of cheating on benchmarks and
rigging software to prevent competitive products from
functioning. Could they do that in the Mindcraft retest
that's now taking place?
(If you are thinking that MS would not possibly do such a
thing, browse the URLs near the end of this article.)
It's likely that the high-end disk controllers, network
interface cards, and perhaps other system components in
the quad-Xeon server have flash-programmable microcode.
(Maybe there is even provision for loadable microcode in
the Xeon CPUs?)
Microsoft has had months to figure out ways to rig those
components to distinguish between NT/IIS and Linux/Apache
data or instruction sequences and slow down the latter.
They could also mess with the various segments of the
benchmark software, and the hardware and software of the
client machines, as well as the routers, etc., in the
network that interconnects them.
Even if the Mindcraft rules say that Linux/Apache can be
tested first, and will get a "clean machine", microcode
changes could have been put in beforehand (e.g., during
the previous day's testing) and would not be detectable.
Additionally, since the source code of NT and IIS is
secret, and Microsoft is allowed to apply any patches they
wish to it for the test, they could create a dedicated
version that is hand coded and optimized to score high on
the benchmark even though the changes render it incapable
of normal functioning. Or, if nobody checks the size
of the programs, the special code, which would run only
when the benchmark was detected, could be *added* to the
regular software, so it *could* perform normal tasks as
well. In either case, no one outside the Microsoft team
will have any idea what their "patches" are actually doing.
According to Mindcraft's rules the Linux team would have
only a few hours to detect any such cheating, which might
have taken months to design and disguise. They wouldn't
even be able to get copies of the actual patched NT/IIS
programs that Microsoft ran.
The Linux side wouldn't stand a chance of figuring out
how Microsoft rigged the test. (Read in the second URL
below the description of the encrypted code that MS put
into Windows 3.1 to detect and kill DR-DOS.)
Gates could afford to spend $1,000,000 per day for two
months on this project; that's probably less than a tenth
of his daily income. He could have bought several complete
copies of the entire benchmark system -- server, network,
and client machines -- two months ago, out of petty cash,
or through front companies that MS controls, or out of his
own personal fortune, and hired teams of hackers paid
$1,000/hr each to work on them. He could have bribed em-
ployees of the companies that make the network cards, etc.,
to get copies of their microcode sources and compilers.
A few weeks ago, the high volume Microsoft propagandists in
comp.os.linux.advocacy had as their first priority baiting
Linuxers into participating in this third Mindcraft bench-
mark. Most of them use false names and are untraceable.
If Microsoft planned to rig the test, and if they are paying
people to post propaganda to Usenet, they would order them
to goad the Linux folk into the trap. In fact, dozens of
articles of that nature were posted by the high-volume
Microsoft shills in c.o.l.a.
Would Microsoft stoop to such dishonest tactics? They
certainly did in the first Mindcraft benchmark. And
they have not hesitated in the past to rig their software
to kill the competition:

In his obvious haste, Mike Somerville <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled thusly:
: what is the difference between zImage and bzImage?
Apparently, due to certain hardware restrictions, the maximum size for a
kernel image is 512K. LILO has this limit too.
When you make a bzimage however, it tells LILO to use a different method
that allows the kernel to be larger...
b-z-image= big (compressed) image.

If you install the win98 drive in the linux machine all you have to do is
mount it and make sure that win98 crap is built into the kernel.
Can't tell you about the win98 crap cause I never had to use it, but I know
it's there cause I see lots O people talking about it on this here news

Subject: automatic loading of sound modules - how?
From: Johan Kullstam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 14 Jun 1999 23:19:56 -0400
how do you rig up kmod to autoload sound modules?
under 2.0.* kernels, kerneld would load up the sound modules whenever
i accessed sound. for example
$ cat /etc/passwd > /dev/audio
would cause the sound modules to load (if they weren't already) and
some static to emanate from my speakers.
now, under 2.[12].* with kmod, i get
$ cat /etc/passwd > /dev/audio
bash: /dev/audio: No such device
if i modprobe or inmod the sb driver by hand or in a script, then i do
get sounds and all seems well. however, the force loaded modules are
not marked autoclean and they always clutter memory.
how do i get the former 2.0.* behavior out of the newer kernels and
kmod? why this regression from something that used to work?

Subject: what's the meaning of "date +10/12/98M%S" ?
Date: 13 Jun 1999 20:36:00 -0400
Hello,
I've been going lately through a lot of shell scripts written on
various Unix platforms, and several times I've seen a mysterious
date formatting string, like "+10/12/98M". I can't find anywhere
what's the meaning of this. On linux it prints out plainly
" 10/12/98M ", but from the context in the scripts it was obviously
intended to do something more. I think it could have been a System V
system (perhaps from AT&T) on which there scripts were running.
Can anybody tell me what would be the meaning of this +10/12/98M
format ?
Thanx,
John

}

By all means add that functionality. However, those of us who need to
maintain source code portability will still have to come up with a
flag-setting routine, at least until all our compilers support the new
features. And the dropping of __setfpucw from glibc 2.1 is one of the
reasons users of NAGWare f95 have to go through hoops to link with the
_old_ libraries rather than the current ones.
One of the problems here is that the available functionality varies
according to the hardware. For example, on POWER architectures gcc
and g77 really ought to support the same options as the XL compilers'
-qflttrap (including the "imprecise" setting, which is vital for good
performance and yet occasionally needs to be turned off for debugging).
Even on the x86, the flag-setting routine may be easy to implement but
it only does half the job. What would really be nice is if the code
generator could issue either trapping or non-trapping FP instructions
according to the user's preference. I'm afraid that on the list of
priorities for g77 this will have to be somewhere below the -C
compiler option, though.

I am working on a little project that deals with mail files just like
the ones that sendmail stores under /var/spool/mail or so.
Now, I have come across the situation where the context of a mail is
MIME quoted-printable encoded. That leaves me with a message containing
various '=' - signs followed by a two-digit code. Now, I need to get
these hexadecimal codes converted back into the original letters, the
characters that were typed when the person composed the mail in the
first place.
I have, after hours of searching, not come across anything that would do
the job. So, does anyone know good pointers for this particular problem?
I am sure there _must_ be a solution to this, I just haven't come across
it. A *simple* shell script would be just the thing I am looking for.

Notice that the date of boot.b and chain.b is not the same as that of
