The VW Microbus Is Coming Back – As An EV!
The VW Microbus Is Coming Back – As An EV! product 2017-08-20 06:52:15 https://uk.motor1.com/news/177329/new-vw-microbus-ev-confirmed/ Volkswagen Official, Volkswagen I.D. BUZZ
Share on Facebook15
By: Richard Aucock
Will be based on I.D. Buzz concept.
It's official – the iconic VW Microbus is coming back… as a future-proofed EV! It's still some way off (Volkswagen is talking of an on-sale date after 2022) but the announcement is still headline news – especially as Volkswagen also confirmed ahead of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance that it's to be derived from the amazing I.D. Buzz concept car.
Pictured next to the 70-year-old original and the I.D. Buzz concept, Volkswagen CEO Dr Herbert Diess claimed the new vehicle 'unites past and future as well as Pebble Beach and the Silicon Valley'. It will be 'an important pillar in Volkswagen's electric drive initiative and carries the Microbus driving feeling into the future'.
Volkswagen has it all planned out: the new EV Microbus will use the electric drivetrain of its upcoming I.D. electric car, which itself is set to arrive in 2022. The I.D. Buzz-derived model will follow after that, and be sold in Europe, North America and China.
It's all thanks to pressure from customers too, claimed Dr. Diess. 'After the presentations at the global motor shows in Detroit (pictured below) and Geneva, we received a large number of letters and emails from customers who said, "please build this car"' said Dr. Diess.

Not only will it be an EV, it will also offer Level 3 self-driving autonomy – and there will be a CV version too, which Volkswagen hopes will be the perfect inner city van. Both will be around 4.9 metres long, 1.9 metres wide and almost two metres tall, for 'extraordinary space dimensions'.
Batteries will be mounted in the floor, so the front and rear wheels can be positioned far apart, maximising interior space. 'The vehicle therefore looks like a short compact van on the outside, even as it offers the generous interior space of a large van', said Dr. Diess. Both models will be part of Volkswagen's plans to offer more than 30 all-electric production cars by 2025.

Skyscrapers and giant yachts are so passé. These days a tech billionaire who wants to assert his wealth, power and, er, manhood needs a rocket to play with – and the bigger the better. Two billionaires in particular have been tussling lately over who has the more impressive equipment: Jeff Bezos (above), the boss of Amazon, and Elon Musk (below), the boss of SpaceX and Tesla. As childish as their public sparring appears, the consequences are tangible – and deserve to be widely celebrated.
Bezos made his fortune through Amazon, the retailer whose spookily accurate algorithms know what you will buy next even before you do, and whose cloud-computing systems quietly power much of the internet. With his vast but hidden power and characteristic laugh, it's surely only a matter of time before Bezos is used as the model for a Bond villain. In his spare time he has been playing with his rocket on his ranch in Texas – a ranch so big that it includes a spaceport. He is also building a giant, indestructible clock inside a nearby mountain that will chime once a millennium (it's supposed to encourage long-term thinking).
Which brings us to the specific nature of the two men's rivalry. When it comes to rockets, the hard part is not getting it up – quite the opposite, in fact. Bezos and Musk are pushing the frontiers in reusable rockets, in which the booster section at the bottom returns to Earth after lift off, rather than being discarded in the sea. Rockets are expensive, so throwing them away like that is, if you think about, bonkers: Musk compares it to building a new 747 every time you want to cross the Atlantic. In December last year his company successfully landed the first stage of one of its Falcon 9 rockets on a landing pad in Florida, after it had launched a handful of satellites into orbit. But this triumph was undercut by the fact that just a few days earlier Bezos's rocket company, Blue Origin, had flown its own unmanned rocket to the edge of space and then landed it back on the launch pad.
Bezos joined Twitter, which he had previously shunned but where Musk has a huge following, in order to announce his triumph with his first tweet. Much passive-aggressive tweeting followed, as the two men outwardly congratulated each other on their accomplishments, while quietly insisting on the superiority of their own rockets. Yes, Bezos may have landed his rocket first, but Musk's is much bigger and can carry payloads into orbit. Then again, Bezos re-flew his rocket, proving that it was genuinely reusable. That put the ball back in Musk's court. Which is why he's so pleased to have pulled off a sea landing of a rocket on one of those giant barges. Next he plans to demonstrate his new, even bigger rocket. Top that, Jeff.
Why should anyone care about this posturing? Because in their one-upmanship, the duelling billionaires are bringing down the cost of access to space. A Falcon 9 rocket costs about $60m, and the booster section at the bottom, called the first stage, accounts for about 70% of that sum. Recovering the first stage and reusing it, say, nine times could therefore cut the cost of a launch by two-thirds. Landing rockets on sea-going platforms helps too: you can devote more fuel to launching heavier payloads if you don't have to fly all the way back to a terrestrial launch pad afterwards.
Bezos is eyeing the space-tourism market. Musk's rockets already carry cargo to the International Space Station and launch commercial satellites, but he is looking beyond that to his real goal: the colonisation of Mars, a crazy-sounding plan that he has been going on about for more than a decade. "I want to die on Mars," he likes to say, "just not on impact." He believes a Mars colony is a vital insurance policy for mankind, which might otherwise be wiped out by an asteroid, nuclear war or malevolent killer robots. His new Falcon Heavy rocket is due to make its first flight this autumn, and he says he will unveil the plans for a ship called the Mars Colony Transporter in September.
Even if he doesn't get to the red planet (though my bet is that he will), Musk is advancing rocket technology at unprecedented speed, repeatedly doing things that were previously thought to be impossible. If his rivalry with Bezos accelerates the process, so much the better. If rich men want to compete to make space travel cheaper, that's great. It's a productive and useful form of egotism, unlike building skyscrapers or acquiring yachts. And you don't need to be a rocket scientist to appreciate that.

Q: load page into a div When page load first time the page contents which are I load on Jquery.ready javascripts work perfect then when I use ajax to do some things and try to load page again javascript are not working on that second page which I try to load. I tried to solve this problem by using live() / on() methods but it didn't work.
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#grupyonetimarea").load("/Panel/MusteriSourcePages/mus_grup_add.aspx");
});

$('#btnekleme').live('click', function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/Panel/MusteriSource/mus_kisiadd.aspx/mus_kisi_kaydet",
        data: "{ad:'" + $.trim($("#txtalt_mus_adi").val()) + "'}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        async: true,
        cache: false,
        before: $("#btnekleme").hide(),
        success: function (msg) {
            if (msg.d == "ok") {
                $("#grupyonetimarea").load("/Panel/MusteriSourcePages/mus_grup_add.aspx");
            } else $("#loaded").html(msg.d).show(500);
        },
        error: function (x, e) {
            alert("The call to the server side failed. " + x.responseText);
        }
    });
}

A: live is deprecated so use on() delegated event.. delegate it to closest static parent.. ( this might not be the issue but its safe to use on() for future if incase you want to update your jquery in near future...)..here is the link if you want to read more about on()
 $(document).on('click','#btnekleme', function () {.. //using closest static parent element is preferred here than the document

and you can send data as object in ajax
var inputValue= $.trim($("#txtalt_mus_adi").val());
data: {ad:inputValue},

A:
Thank u very much for all answers. i did it in that way i just made a function which is  kontrolet() when i run that dunction it works good way which I want.

      $(document).on('click', '#btnekleme', function () {
                    $("#grupyonetimarea").load("/Panel/MusteriSourcePages/mus_grup_add.aspx");
                });

Honor Thy Teacher 2018
Live Your Learning Educational Fund
NAHS Alumni
About NAFE
A teacher takes a Hand,
opens a Mind,
and touches a Heart.
We recognize that strong literacy skills begin in kindergarten and are imperative to building successful readers and learners as students progress through school. Students need to be exposed to different types of books, including those that tell a story, concept books, and nonfiction texts. Repeated practice with numerous books is what builds these skills. Currently, our classrooms do not have the quantity or quality of books necessary to support the reading behavior for our students that we know will bring success.
While we cannot outfit every classroom in the district with the necessary titles at this time, we believe that purchasing a collection of recommended titles for each classroom will help move us toward Dr. Price's goal of a consistent and rigorous curriculum across the district.
Funds raised will be used to support the purchase of these titles for each of classrooms throughout the district, beginning with the kindergarten and first grade classes.
As the school year comes to an end, are you looking for a way to say "Thank You" to the people who make a difference in our school community? Every day, our children benefit from exceptional teachers and staff to motivate, educate and inspire them to be the best they can be.
While the wish to thank teachers with a physical or monetary gift is a natural one, there are state limits to the types and amounts of gifts that teachers may receive. In light of this, NAFE has created a special campaign designed to enable parents to honor teachers and staff by giving a gift in their name - "Honor Thy Teacher". We hope that you will consider making a donation to this campaign in honor of your teachers' efforts and dedication to your children. You may also choose to honor a special education aide, a fine arts or music teacher, or a coach or counselor who has touched your child's life.
NAFE celebrates North Andover Public Schools teachers and staff by:
An e-mail letting them know you have made a donation
A certificate of recognition to display
Inclusion in the published list of Honorees in the North Andover Citizen
Simply complete the form to the right for each honoree.
Complete an "Honor Thy Teacher" request for each person (current or from the past) you wish to honor, then click on "Submit" at the end of the form. You will see the prompt for making another request, should you wish to honor another person:

Q: Debian on TI-Nspire I am following this tutorial: https://ivoah.net/blog/2016/03/20/how-to-install-debian-on-a-ti-nspire/ (I have all of the required items.)
I am using an Acer Chromebook C720, which I dual-booted Debian buster onto, using crouton. I have a TI-Nspire CX II CAS, which I am trying to dual-boot Debian onto with the help of the tutorial I mentioned.
Steps 1 through 5 work fine for me, but when I do sudo chroot /mnt in step 6, I get an error:
chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error

I read here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/14280/during-a-chroot-attempt-i-got-this-error-chroot-failed-to-run-command-bin But I have no idea where to go from there.
Should I have dual-booted a 32-bit version of Debian buster, rather than the 64-bit version I am running currently?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Every now and again, I seem to find myself looking at HP's ProLiant range of industry standard servers. The technology moves ahead but it's pretty easy to understand where the various models sit in the range because of HP's product naming system.
1-series servers are entry level servers, targetted at the SMB and High Performance Computing markets, typically with fewer enterprise features (e.g. hot plug components) on board.
3-series servers include HP's 1U DL360 "pizza box" server and the ever-popular DL380 with 2 sockets and a range of storage and connectivity options.
5-series servers are the 4-way machines for high-end appllication workloads, with plenty of internal storage and connectivity capacity.
The 7-series was discontinued for a while (as HP didn't have an 8-way server) but, with increasing demands for powerful servers for consolidation/virtualisation, it was re-introduced with a DL785 that competes with other manufacturers' servers such as the SunFire X4600.
The final digit is either a 0 (for an Intel server) or a 5 (for an AMD server). DL servers are rack-mountable (D for density), with ML for tower/freestanding servers, although some of these can also be converted to rack-mount. Each ML server is numbered 10 lower than its DL equivalent – so an ML370 is equivalent to a DL380.
A couple of years ago, HP launched its c-class blades and each blade server (prefixed with BL) was numbered as for the corresponding DL or ML server, but with 100 added to the model number – so a DL380 equivalent blade is a BL480c (c for c-class).
Finally, there's a generation identifier (e.g. G5, G6). Each generation represents a step forward architecturally (e.g. a move from Ultra 320 to serial-attached SCSI disks, or the adoption of Intel's latest "Nehalem" processors).
Once you know the system, it's all pretty straightforward – and, as HP controls half the market for industry standard x64 servers, hopefully this blog post will be useful to someone who's trying to get their head around it.
Can I fit a PCI expansion card into a different type of slot?
The new server that I bought recently has a huge case with loads of room for expansion and that got me thinking about all which components I already had that I could reuse. DVD±RW dual layer recorder from the old PC, 500GB SATA hard disk from my external drive (swapped for the 250GB disk supplied with the server), couple of extra NICs… "oh, hang on. Those NICs look like PCI cards and I can only see a single PCI slot. Ah!".
I knew that the spare NICs I had were PCI cards but would they fit in a PCI-X slot? Yes, as it happens.
I found a really useful article about avoiding PCI problems that explained to me the differences between various peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card formats and it turned out not to be as big an issue as I first thought. It seems that the PCI specification allows for two signalling voltages (3.3v and 5v) as well as different bus widths (32- or 64-bit). 32-bit cards have 124 pins whilst 64-bit cards have 184 pins; however to indicate which signalling voltage is supported, notches are used at different points on the card – 5V cards have the notch at pin positions 50 and 51 whilst 3.3V cards have the notch closer to the backplate at pin positions 12 and 13. Furthermore, some cards (like the NICs I wanted to use) have notches in both positions (known as universal cards), indicating that they will work at either signalling voltage. Meanwhile, PCI-X (PCI eXtended) is a development of PCI and, whilst offering higher speeds and a longer, 64-bit, connection slot, is also backwards-compatible with PCI cards allowing me to use my universal PCI card in a PCI-X slot (albeit slowing the whole bus down to 32-bit 33MHz). PCIe (PCI Express) is a different standard, with a radically different connector and a serial (switched) architecture (HowStuffWorks has a great explanation of this). My system has a single lane (1x) and an 8-lane (8x) connector, but 1x and 4x PCIe cards will work in the 8x slot.
This illustration shows the various slot types on my motherboard, an 8x PCIe at the top, then a 1x PCIe, two 64-bit PCI-X slots and, finally, one legacy 32-bit 5V PCI slot.
After adding the extra NICs (one in the 32-bit legacy 33MHz slot and the other in one of the PCI-X slots) everything seemed to fit without resorting to the use of heavy tools and when I switched on the computer it seemed to boot up normally, without any pops, bangs or a puffs of smoke. All that was needed was to get some drivers for Windows Server 2008 (these are old 100Mbps cards that have been sitting in my "box of PC bits" for a long time now). Windows Device Manager reported the vendor and device IDs as 8086 and 1229 respectively (I already knew from the first half of the MAC address that these were Intel NICs), from which I could track down the vendor and device details and find that device 1229 is an 82550/1/7/8/9 EtherExpress PRO/100(B) Ethernet Adapter. Despite this being a discontinued product, searching the Intel Download Center turned up a suitable Windows Vista (64-bit) driver that was backwards compatible with the Intel 82550 Fast Ethernet Controller and I soon had the NICs up and running in Windows Server 2008, reporting themselves as Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapters (including various custom property pages provided by Intel for teaming, VLAN support, link speed, power management and boot options).
So, it seems that, despite the variety of formats, not having exactly the right PCI slot is not necessarily an issue. PCI Express is an entirely different issue but, for now, my 32-bit universal PCI card is working fine in a 64-bit PCI-X slot.
Much of what I write on this blog is based upon my experiences as a consultant/infrastructure architect for a leading IT Services company but as my day job becomes less technical there's an increasing amount written based on the time I spend working with technology on my home network. markwilson.it doesn't have a large IT budget and it's become increasingly apparent that my pile of aging, but rather good, Compaq Evo D5xx SFF PCs no longer provides the hardware features that I need. Consequently, I needed to buy a small server – ideally a dual-socket machine, with quad-core CPUs and up to 16GB of RAM (I had a couple of spare 500GB SATA hard disks to re-use and also some spare NICs). I didn't have an exact figure in mind, but was hoping to spend no more than £500-600 and knew that specification would probably be too expensive but then I found an offer on the Dell website for a PowerEdge 840 – starting at £179 plus VAT and shipping.
The PowerEdge 840 is more like a workstation than a server but it has the option to upgrade the standard dual-core Intel Pentium processor to a dual- or quad-core Xeon. For a dual-socket machine with the ability to go up to 16GB of memory I'd have needed to move up to a more expensive model but the PowerEdge 840 specification would give me what I need to set up a XenExpress or Windows Hyper-V Server server for evaluating products and running the basic markwilson.it infrastructure (everything except the website, which is hosted for me by ascomi).
Do you really need that optional extra? Don't be afraid to buy the basic system from the manufacturer and source additional components elsewhere.
Use a cashback site (e.g. TopCashBack). Using this, I was able to get cash back on the pre-tax value of the goods purchased.
Following Garry's advice, I could see that by sticking with the basic memory and disk options (being ready to take them out when it arrives), I could buy larger components elsewhere and still save money. I upped the CPU spec, but left the rest of the system almost at the basic level with 512MB of RAM, one 80GB disk (to take out and use elsewhere – or even just give it away) and one 250GB disk (to downgrade my external hard drive and use the 500GB disk from that instead). I stuck with the basic DVD-ROM drive (I'll take the writer from one of the PCs that this server will replace) and rejected options for floppy disk drive, modem, additional NICs, tape backup, UPS, etc. as I already have these things at home. I also rejected options for RAID controllers as I can pick up a less capable but inexpensive SATA RAID controller elsewhere. Finally, I said no to operating system and backup software – whilst Small Business Server 2003 R2 may have been nice, Windows Hyper-V Server will only be a few pounds when it releases later this year and XenExpress is free. As I'm not in the market for Windows Server 2003/2008 Enterprise or Datacenter editions I'll have to deal with the guest VM licensing separately – but that's no different to my current situation.
"[The] chances [of] a single-bit soft error occurring are about once per 1GB of memory per month of uninterrupted operation. Since most desktop computers do not run 24 hours a day, the chances are not actually that high. For example, if your computer (with 1GB of memory) runs 4 hours a day, the chances of a single-bit soft error happening (when your system is running) is about once every six months. Even should an error occur, it won't be a big issue for most users as the error bit may not even be accessed at that time. Should the system access the error bit, this little error won't result in a disaster either – the system may crash, but a restart of the system will fix that. That's why ECC memory is not a necessity for most home users.
Things are very different when it comes to workstations and servers. To begin with, these systems often utilize multi-gigabytes of memory, and they usually run 24/7 as well. Both of these factors result in increased probability of a soft error. More importantly, an unnoticed error is not tolerable in a mission-critical workstation or server."
I decided to use ECC RAM as, even though my server is not mission critical, it will be on 24×7 and running several virtual machines – all of which could be susceptible to memory errors. Dell Technical Support also advised me that non-ECC RAM would cause POST errors.
I still needed to get the best deal I could on memory and Dell were only quoting me for PC2-4200 (533MHz) RAM when the PowerEdge 840 will take PC2-5300 (667MHz) RAM. As the Dell RAM is actually from Kingston, I decided to see what Kingston recommended for the PowerEdge 840 and found that there is a product (KTD-DM8400BE/2G) which is a 667MHz version of the 2GB 240-pin SDRAM that the server uses. Furthermore, I could get it from SMC Direct for £53.55 a module (£219.58 for all four, shipped). Then, Dell Technical Support advised me that there is little advantage in buying the faster RAM as the front-side bus for my Intel Xeon X3210 is 1066MHz and the 2x multiplier matches whereas the 667MHz RAM would match a 1333MHz bus. On that basis, I stuck with the Dell quote, saving myself a fiver and potentially earning some more cashback (actually, I didn't get cashback because it was a telephone purchase but that was more than offset by Dell waiving the shipping charge as goodwill for the problems I had experienced when buying the server).
Last week, I wrote a post about the poor customer service I had experienced as part of my recent Dell server purchase but the very next morning things started to improve.
Firstly, my server turned up a week early. That's good – exceeding customer expectations gets a big tick from me. Ordered at 2pm on Friday, order accepted (i.e. payment cleared) on Sunday, server built to order, shipped from Ireland and delivered in England at 9.15am on Wednesday. One happy punter.
Then I got an e-mail and a phone call from one of Dell's Technical Account Managers, who'd seen my blog post and wanted to talk to me about my experience. I was only to happy to give him feedback on where it all went wrong for me, and in return he promised to look into it and get a server specialist to call me right away. Sure enough, a few minutes later the phone rang and it was a really helpful representative from the UK and Ireland SME Silver Support Team, who took me through the configuration options on my server that had confused me so much (I've added a comment to my original post with the details).
As a gesture of goodwill (and I think it's only fair to disclose this as I'm now writing so positively about Dell!), they also waived the shipping charge on the extra memory I was about to purchase and shipped some additional SATA cables to allow me to connect a third and fourth drive to my motherboard.

A few years back I had the misfortune of using a Dell Latitude D600 notebook computer for my work. At the time I wrote about the problems I experienced with Dell customer service and it seems that Michael Dell's return as CEO isn't doing much to improve the customer experience.
Then, last week, I bought a Dell PowerEdge 840 server. I did it because it was cheap. So, one might ask what am I complaining about but, even though £391.98 is very inexpensive for a server, I expect some service when I'm trying to buy something from someone.
I suppose I'm spoilt because normally I buy many servers at a time, have a technical account manager to help me select the right options and it's someone else's money if I miss something and need to buy some more components. Oh yes, and I buy HP servers where possible. This time I was spending my own money and wanted the best deal possible.
C1B – Motherboard SATA cabled, min 2, max 2 Hard Drives connected to onboard SATA controller.
C1C – Motherboard SATA cabled, min 3, max 3 Hard Drives connected to onboard SATA controller.
C1D – Motherboard SATA cabled, min 4, max 4 Hard Drives connected to onboard SATA controller.
I was confused. If the server only supports 2 cabled or hot-plug drives, then why is there a no-cost option to have 3 or 4 hard drives connected to the on-board SATA controller? So I called Dell. Only to find after about 8 (no kidding) menu options on the phone system that the "small business" department I needed to speak to was closed and only works from 9 to 4.30 Monday to Friday (part-timers…).
I bought the server anyway because the discount was due to expire (it's since been extended) and called back on Monday. After making 4 menu selections I got to a person who was somewhere in South Asia and sounded helpful but was clearly following a script. She redirected me to someone in Ireland who sounded annoyed that I was taking up her time and told me that my query was a technical one (not sales). She put me through to technical support, who were confused when I said that I didn't have a service tag because my system was still being built but put me through to the PowerEdge department anyway. They were busy but after 5 minutes on hold I spoke to a person who was helpful but didn't really fill me with confidence in his advice as first of all, he told me that the PowerEdge 840 supports up to 4 drives (good) but that the options may be for different backplanes. Then he checked and said that the system supports 2 drives on the motherboard but drives 3 and 4 would need a separate RAID controller. As that seemed to contradict the options at purchase time and he couldn't comment on the "build your system" website, I'm still no clearer.
Firstly, when comparing Intel and AMD figures for the power consumption of their servers – if Intel quote the wattage, they quote the mean value, whereas AMD quote a peak figure – so it's heard to draw accurate comparisons.
Secondly, as I reported when I wrote about HP blade servers a few weeks back, 3.5″ Ultra320 SCSI disks are being discontinued in favour of 2.5″ serial-attached SCSI (SAS) disks. The main difference (apart from the smaller form factor) is that SAS disks are switched between lanes (cf. a shared bus with Ultra320), increasing performance in a linear manner with each disk connected to a controller (whereas a shared SCSI channel will typically exhibit a bell-curve in its performance characteristics). Also, the smaller physical size of the disk means that a 10,000RPM 2.5″ disk will provide more-or-less equivalent performance to an similarly specified 15,000RPM 3.5″ disk and that less energy is required to spin it, meaning a lower power consumption (and less heat generated).
One of the other changes in the server lineup is a general move from PCI-X to PCI Express (PCIe) slots offering improved performance (many servers allow a combination of the two to be specified).
Finally, the new iLO2 management processors (as well as iLO with firmware v1.82 or later) now support schema-less AD integration and iLO2 has a much-improved remote console, with most of the Java code removed, increasing performance drastically.
There's no real "story" to any of the above – they are just a jumble of notes that might be useful in understanding where HP (and other vendors) are heading in the industry standard x86/x64 server space.
Last week I wrote about the VMware infrastructure that I'm trying to put in place. I mentioned that my testing has been based on HP ProLiant DL585 servers – each of these is equipped with four dual-core AMD Opteron 8xx CPUs and a stack of memory. Half of the initial infrastructure will use new DL585s and the intention is that implementing these servers will release some recently-purchased HP ProLiant DL580G3s for an expansion of the infrastructure. Because the DL580G3 uses an Intel Xeon MP (formerly codenamed Paxville MP) processor, the difference in processor families requires a separation of the servers into two resource pools; however that's not the real issue. My problem is justifying to an organisation that until now has exclusively used Intel processors that AMD units provide (as my CTO puts it) "more bang for our buck".
The trouble is that the press is full of reports on how the new Intel Xeon 51xx CPUs (formerly codenamed Woodcrest) out-perform AMD Opterons, where AMD has been in the lead until now; but that's in the 2-processor server space and I'm not hearing much about 4-way units.
All of this may change tomorrow as, at today's VMware Beyond Boundaries virtualisation roadshow, Richard Curran, Director of Marketing for the Intel (EMEA) Digital Enterprise Group, hinted about an impending announcement; however an HP representative expressed a view that any new CPU will just be to plug the gap for a few months – the real performance boost will come in a few months time with the next generation of dual-core multiprocessor chips (in the same way that the Xeon 50xx chips, formerly codenamed Dempsey, preceded the 51xx Woodcrest).
Leaving aside any other server vendors, I need some direction as to which 4-way server to buy from HP. HP ProLiant DL580G3s would allow me to standardise but the newer HP ProLiant DL580G4s are more powerful – using the Xeon 71xx chips (formerly codenamed Tulsa) with Intel VT virtualisation support – and, based on list price, are significantly less expensive. Meanwhile, HP's website claims that ProLiant DL585s are "the best performing x86 4-processor server in the industry" and they cost slightly less than a comparably-specified DL580G4 (again, based on list price), even before taking into account their lower power consumption.
Speaking to Intel, they (somewhat arrogantly) disregarded any reason why I should chose AMD; however AMD were more rational, explaining that regardless of the latest Intel benchmarks, an Opteron is technologically superior for a two main reasons: the hypertransport connection between processor cores; and the integrated memory controller (cf. Intel's approach of using large volumes of level 3 cache), although the current generation of Opterons only use DDR RAM. Crucially though, AMD's next-generation dual-core Opterons are socket-compatible with the forthcoming quad-core CPUs (socket F) and are in the same thermal envelope – allowing for processor upgrades – as well as using DDR2 memory and providing AMD-V virtualisation support (but in any case I'll need to wait a few months for the HP ProLiant DL585G2 before I can buy a socket F-based Opteron 8xxx rack server from HP).
As my virtualisation platform is based on VMware products, I asked VMware which processor architecture they have found to be most performant (especially as the Opteron 8xx does not provide hardware support for virtualisation; although there are doubts about whether ESX Server 3.0 is ready to use such technology – I have read some reports that there will be an upgrade later). Unsurprisingly, VMware are sitting on the fence and will not favour one processor vendor over another (both AMD and Intel are valued business partners for VMware); of course, such comparisons would be subjective anyway but I need to know that I'm making the right purchasing decision. So I asked HP. Again, no-one will give me a written opinion but two HP representatives have expressed similar views verbally – AMD is still in the lead for 4-way servers, at least for the next few months.
There are other considerations too – DL580s feature redundant RAM (after power and disk, memory is the next most likely component to fail and whilst ECC can guard against single-bit failures, double-bit failures are harder to manage); however because the memory controller is integrated in each CPU for an AMD Opteron, there is no redundant RAM for a DL585.
Another consideration is the application load – even virtualised CPUs are perform differently under different workloads: for heavily cached applications (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server or SAP), an Intel architecture may provide the best performance; meanwhile CPU and memory-intensive tasks (e.g. Microsoft Exchange) are more suited to an AMD architecture.
So it seems that it really is "horses for courses" – maybe a split resource pool is the answer with one pool for heavily cached applications and another for CPU and memory-intensive applications. What I really hope is that I don't regret the decision to follow the AMD path in a few months time… they used to say that "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". These days it seems to be the same story for buying Intel.
A few months back, when Microsoft announced that many of its forthcoming server products would be 64-bit only, I confessed that I don't know a lot about 64-bit computing. That all changed last week when I attended two events (the first sponsored by Intel and the second by AMD) where the two main 64-bit platforms were discussed and Microsoft's decision to follow the 64-bit path suddenly makes a lot of sense.
For some time now, memory has been a constraint on scaling-up server capacity. The 32-bit x86 architecture that we've been using for so long now is limited to a maximum of 4GB of addressable memory (232 = 4,294,967,296) – once a huge amount of memory but not so any more. Once you consider that on a Windows system, half of this is reserved for the system address space (1GB if the /3GB switch is used in boot.ini) the remaining private address space for each process starts to look a little tight (even when virtual memory is considered). Even though Windows Server 2003 brought improvements over Windows 2000 in its support for the /3GB switch, not all applications recognise the extra private address space that it provides and the corresponding reduction in the system address space can be problematic for the operating system. Some technologies, like physical address extension (PAE) and address windowing extensions (AWE) can increase the addressable space to 64GB, but for those of us who remember trying to squeeze applications into high memory back in the days of MS-DOS, that all sounds a little bit like emm386.exe!
The answer to this problem of memory addressing is 64-bit computing, which allows much more memory to be addressed (as shown in the table below) but unfortunately means that new servers and a switch to a 64-bit operating systems are required. For Windows users that means Windows XP Professional x64 Edition on the desktop and either Windows Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise or Datacenter x64 or Itanium Edition at the back end (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition is not compatible with Intel's Itanium processor family and Windows Server 2003 Web Edition is 32-bit only).
It's not all doom and gloom – for those who have recently invested in new servers, it's worth noting that certain recent models of Intel's Xeon and Pentium processors have included a technology called Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), so pretty much any server purchased from a tier 1 vendor (basically HP, IBM or Dell) over the last 12 months will have included 64-bit capabilities (with the exception of blade servers, which are generally still 32-bit for power consumption reasons – at least in the Intel space).
EM64T is effectively Intel's port of the AMD x64 technology (AMD64, as used in the Opteron CPU line) and probably represents the simplest step towards 64-bit computing as Intel's Itanium processor family (IPF) line uses a totally separate architecture called explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC).
In terms of application compatibility, 32-bit applications can run on a 64-bit Windows platform using a system called Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64). Although this is effectively emulating a 32-bit environment, the increased performance allowed with a 64-bit architecture means that performance is maintained and meanwhile, 64-bit applications on the same server can run natively. Itanium-based servers are an exception – they require an execution layer to convert the x64 emulation to EPIC, which can result in some degradation in 32-bit performance (which needs to be offset against Itanium 2's high performance capabilities, e.g. when used natively as a database server). There are some caveats – Windows requires 64-bit device drivers (for many, hardware support is the main problem for 64-bit adoption) and there is no support for 16-bit applications (that means no MS-DOS support).
There is much discussion about which 64-bit model is "best". There are many who think AMD are ahead of Intel (and AMD are happy to cite an Information Week article which suggests they are gaining market share), but then there are situations where Itanium 2's processor architecture allows for high performance computing (cf. the main x64/EM64T advantage of increased memory addressability). Comparing Intel's Xeon processors with EM64T and Itanium 2 models reveals that the Itanium supports 1024TB of external memory (cf. 1TB for the EM64T x64 implementation) as well as additional cache and general purpose registers but the main advantages with Itanium relate to the support for parallel processing. With a traditional architecture, source code is compiler to create sequential machine code and any parallel processing is reliant upon the best efforts of the operating system. EPIC compilers for the Itanium architecture produce machine code that is already optimised for parallel processing.
Whatever the processor model, both Intel and AMD's marketing slides agree that CPU speed is no longer the bottleneck in improving server performance. A server is a complex system and performance is constrained by the component with the lowest performance. Identifying the bottleneck is an issue of memory bandwidth (how fast data can be moved to and from memory), memory latency (how fast data can be accessed), memory addressability (how much data can be accessed) and I/O performance (how much data must be moved). That's why processor and server manufacturers also provide supporting technologies designed to increase performance – areas such as demand based power management, systems management, network throughput, memory management (the more memory that is added, the less reliable it is – hence the available of RAID and hot-swap memory technologies), expansion (e.g. PCI Express) and virtualisation.
Where AMD's x64 processors shine is that their architecture is more efficient. Traditional front-side bus (FSB) computers rely on a component known as the northbridge. I/O and memory access share the same front side bus affecting memory bandwidth. Memory access is delayed because it must pass through the northbridge (memory latency). I/O performance is restricted due to bandwidth bottlenecks accessing attached devices. Additionally, in a multiprocessor system, each core competes for access to the same FSB, making the memory bandwidth issue worse.
Non-uniform memory access (NUMA) computers place the memory with the processor cores, avoiding the need to access memory via a northbridge. AMD's Opteron processor allows a total address space of up to 256TB, allowing each CPU to access up to 6.4Gbps of dedicated memory bandwidth with a local memory latency of ~65ns (similar to L3 cache performance) and three HyperTransport connections, each allowing 8Gbps of I/O bandwidth.
Scaling out to multiple processors is straightforward with direct connections between processors using the 8Gbps HyperTransport (some OEMs, e.g. Fujitsu-Siemens, use this to allow two dual-CPU blade servers to be connected making a 4 CPU blade system).
Adding a second processor core results in higher performance and better throughput (higher density, lower latency and higher overall performance) but with equal power consumption. The power consumption issue is an important one, with data centre placement increasingly being related to sufficient power capacity and high density rack-based and blade servers leading to cooling issues.
AMD's figures suggest that by switching from a dual-core 4-way Intel Xeon processor system (8 cores in total) to a similar AMD Opteron system results in a drop from 740W to 380W of power [source: AMD]. With 116,439 4-way servers shipped in Western Europe alone during 2005 [source: IDC], that represents a saving of 41.9MW per year.
In summary, 64-bit hardware has been shipping for a while now. Both Intel and AMD admit that there is more to processor performance than clock speed, and AMD's direct connect architecture removes some of the bottlenecks associated with the traditional x86 architecture as well as reducing power consumption (and hence heat production). The transition to 64-bit software has also begun, with x64 servers (Opteron and EM64T) providing flexibility in the migration from a 32-bit operating system and associated applications.

Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is now available (Android tablet with Snapdragon 870 and HDMI input)
10 Comments on Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is now available (Android tablet with Snapdragon 870 and HDMI input)
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is an Android tablet with a big display, a speedy processor, and one unusual feature that makes it more than a tablet – an HDMI input lets you use this 13 inch tablet as a portable monitor.
After going on sale in China earlier this year, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is now available in the United States. You can pick one up from Lenovo or Best Buy for $680.
While that price makes the Yoga Tab 13 one of the most expensive Android tablets available, it's also one of the most powerful and versatile models per date.
It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 128GB of storage. The tablet's display is a 13 inch, 2160 x 1350 pixel LTPS screen with a 60 Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB color gamut, support for up to 400 nits of brightness support for Dolby Vision.
Thanks to a built-in kickstand, you can set up the tablet on a flat surface and use it to watch videos or perform other hands-free tasks. And the micro HDMIU input (with HDCP 1.4 support) allows you to connect a laptop, smartphone or other device and use the Yoga Tab 13 as a second screen.
You can also flip the stand out 180 degrees and use it to hang the tablet from a hook.
Other features include four JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos audio support, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 The tablet also has an 8GB camera plus a time of flight depth sensor, and support for an optional Lenovo Precision Pen 2 for pressure-sensitive input.
The Yoga Tab 13 measures 11.6″ x 8″ x 1″ at its thickest point (and 0.24″ at its thinnest) and weighs about 1.8 pounds. It features a black chassis with Alcantara fabric covering the back.

Mort K. says:
One of the most powerful and versatile tablets available… that won't get any operating system updates and may get a year's worth of security updates. Unless Lenovo has changed their ways or made an announcement to the contrary…
If this were a Chromebook tablet updated by Google themselves for 8 years, I'd be all over it. But I will not buy an Android tablet because of the short support times and the limited OS – Samsung miiiight be an exception worth considering, if they keep to their promise of 4 years of support. Maybe…
Grant Russell says:
It's an interesting concept (tablet that can also act as a portable monitor), but the resolution and aspect ratio are not ideal for me as an external monitor.
They show it connected to a Nintendo Switch, but that sounds awful considering the odd resolution and ratio.
Personally, I would have preferred Lenovo tackle this problem from the opposite approach. Make a good portable monitor (13″ IPS, 16:9 ratio, and 144hz+), and add decent Android functionality to it. Monitor first, Android tablet second.
Kangal says:
Well, it might not be 13.3 inches, but this thing is very close at 13″. Also, it might not be 16:9 aspect ratio, but it's as good or potentially better at 16:10.
The only thing is it's 60Hz, not 144Hz. For the majority of cases (+90%) this is acceptable. Remember, battery life is important. The tablet itself (ie AndroidOS) can regulate the refresh rate so that it doesn't waste battery on low or static images. BUT you can't do that as a passive/external screen.
The only thing that makes me consider a change to the screen would be the resolution. Some devices won't play well with unusual resolutions. So a flat 1080p may have been the better option. Or even bumping to 4K if they want to go the route of luxury.
Tarwin says:
I'm really intrigued by this one. What I REALLY want to know though is if I can use the pen input while using it as an external monitor
Extremely doubtful. I highly doubt it's designed to also talk to the PC as a USB stylus input device while also feeding audio and video. It's not impossible, but I doubt it was included.
I think they would promoting this thing as a Wacom alternative if that was an included feature.
Not necessarily (the promoting bit). Their portable monitor m14t has pen support but it's not promoted as a wacom alternative in any way (I'm guessing to avoid issues with colour calibration and whatnot that wacom users would demand.
That requires power from an external source, and doesn't function as a passive screen. It uses a USB-C for the connection. It also can be used as a USB hub. It was designed purely as a new-gen external monitor.
I think the idea of a tablet having a microHDMI port is brilliant. Display out would be great for many reasons. However, a Display-In is a very niche feature.
I'm glad they did it, but it's not very appealing to many people. If it was an iPad, I can see how it would be great as the mainstream would adopt many uses for it. But it's not an iPad.
If I were to make any alterations, it would be to make two models, a budget and a luxury. The $500 budget would be a 1920×1200 60Hz IPS display, with active pen, probably a QSD 778, 6GB RAM, 128GB and microSD slot, with only BT/Wifi. This would be a hit with the mainstream.
The $1000 luxury model would step up to 3840×2160 at VRR-120Hz screen. QSD 888+, 12GB RAM, 256GB, microSD slot and other features. Plus it would have a SIM slot and full 5G and phone connectivity. Also a few luxury additions like NFC payments and Reverse Wireless Charging. This would be a flop in the market. But those who want high-end goods will love it since they won't have any alternatives. Might also sell some models directly as "Developer Edition" where the bootloader is unlocked for flashing Custom ROMs, ChromeOS, a Linux Distro, or even Windows on ARM.
Cub75 says:
Look into Superdisplay USB/remote display app for Android. Absolutely first rate.
Some Guy says:
There's been apps like that forever, but I think it's very likely this one would need some specially calibrated software to transmit pen inputs to a host PC according to where it was touched when using video in.
I know it's tempting to see this thing as a more versatile drawing tablet replacement. You might be able to use this thing as a screenless tablet replacement, but I wouldn't know if the many android apps for that include stylus support.
However, in addition to the things everyone else said, I've heard that drawing tablets without built in screens are more ergonomic than ones that have them (better posture while using them), with desktops anyway, and they're MUCH cheaper (heck, even many of the ones with screens are much cheaper). If I wanted to draw on a laptop or portable screen I'd probably just sell my current laptop and get a convertible.

Orla Gartland
Woman on the Internet Cat Caie , August 17th, 2021 09:34
The debut by Irish singer-songwriter Orla Gartland is an album of many layers, finds Cat Caie
Woman on the Internet is an album about emotional learning. Few songs capture the essence of that theme better than 'Madison'. Gartland's vocals entice you in as she hits the high notes with ease and control. The strumming initially works as its own percussion, though more is added alongside a faint dainty lick. Unlike many of the more produced songs on the album, this song calls out in its unembellished impetuosity, with the uninhibited demo-like music matching the message. It reminds me of the unfurling of a concert, where the crowd are singing along to the band's most famous song a cappella and unprompted.
Youthful and kind of sad, 'Codependency' feels like a high production start to a quirky independent rom-com. The song paints a series of comic scenes that wouldn't be out of place in a 00s music video. The upbeat, relatable content seeps into the cracks of past relationships and unravels into inspirational insight. My personal favourite on the album, it only slightly surpasses 'More Like You' with its intricate layering and consistently impressive vocals full of pregnant pauses. The frankness behind the introduction to this character is refreshing. It feels like revisiting a favourite TV show.
For those who are Patreon supporters of Orla Gartland, her new songs come with an element of recognition. We've heard her sing about a "woman on the internet" before on the demo 'More Like You' that she released for her Secret Demo Club via the online membership platform in May 2020. What stands out is the electrifying transition between first and second verse, as it moves from a caesura to a euphonic dense texture. This was the single I had been most excited to hear fully produced. Teasing new music on both Patreon and her Creator's Monthly series on Instagram, Gartland's debut lives up to the hype she has built for it.
Much like Orla herself, this album sneaks up on you. It swiftly moves from easy-listening to music to obsess over. If you listen to it through cheap earphones on a crowded train, the intricacy of the production behind this album could be missed. It's only when you invest attention, time (and good speakers) that you truly begin to revel in its wonders. To be able to relate with the messiness of Gartland's emotional journey is to feel at one with a talented artist.

Safeguarding is a priority at Thatcham Town Harriers FC.
The launch of the free, independent helpline follows former footballers Andy Woodward, Steve Walters, David White and Paul Stewart bravely speaking out about the abuse they suffered as young footballers.
Sue Ravenlaw, The FA's head of equality and safeguarding added: "The courage and dignity being shown by Andy Woodward, Steve Walters, David White and Paul Stewart is immense.
"We join Andy, the police and others in the continued efforts to encourage more victims and survivors to come forward.
Referrals of concerns about recent and non-recent abuse should continue to be made directly via the designated persons' network in football, or directly to The FA's safeguarding team via safeguarding@thefa.com and a safeguarding professional from the team will make contact.
The English football authorities, led by The FA, work collaboratively on prevention and investigations with the lead officers from the Premier League and the EFL as well as key support from League Football Education, EFL Trust, The Professional Footballers' Association, League Managers' Association and all County FA's .
The FA has a team of safeguarding professionals who put in place preventative measures via policy, education, best practice and support for the network of people acting as Designated Safeguarding Officers (DSOs). Alongside this is a team of safeguarding professionals who manage referrals and concerns, work with the statutory agencies in relation to investigations and put in place safeguards, including suspensions from football activity where necessary, to manage people who pose, or may pose a risk of harm.
There is a network of 8,500 people as DSOs in the professional game and grassroots football, who have been criminal records checked and trained. Their role includes making referrals to the appropriate authorities.
55,000 criminal records checks are carried out across the game each season, to screen out anyone who seeks to work in football who may pose a risk of harm.
35,000 coaches and referees attend The FA's safeguarding children awareness course each season. Additional welfare officer training is provided to DSOs in the grassroots and bespoke training is delivered by the Premier League and EFL with their respective clubs.
Collectively we work to create safe environments in football and seek to ensure that if there are concerns, people know how and where to report them.
