When I am not busy building PCs for my friends and family, or campaigning on the issues that really matter, I like to kick back and relax by doing a bit of home cooking in a 'thai fusion' style.

I realise that plenty of you adequacy readers out there are keen cooks, so I offer you my latest gastronomical creation for your delectation and delight...

DMG's Spicy Chilli Lemon Chicken with Toasted Cashews


It looks very very tasty doesn't it ? Bon app�tit!
Ingredients (serves 1)
400g Chicken Breast
1 Lemon
1/2 cup cashew nuts
2 Cloves Garlic
1 green chilli pepper
1/3 Cup mild rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika (sweet)
2 Tablespoon Seasame Oil
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
2 Tablespoon Ground Nut (peanut) oil
1/2 cup Thai Fragrant Rice

Instructions
Peel then finely chop the garlic cloves (or use a press).
Slice the green chilli pepper
Slice the chicken into 1cm thick strips
Add the chili, garlic and seasame oil to the chicken, stir with a fork or spoon and ensure the chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate for three hours, or preferably overnight.

Squeeze the lemon and extract the juice. Add five tablespoons of lemon juice to the rice wine. Add the paprika, sweet chilli sauce and corn starch, and mix vigorously.

Gently toast the cashew nuts over a medium heat until golden brown.

Wash the rice three or four times, until the water runs clear. Then allow to soak for a few hours (or preferably overnight). Drain excees water then add 1 cup of water. (Always use twice as much water as rice). Cook the rice over a medium heat until the water starts to boil, then place the lid on the pan, turn the heat down and simmer for ten minutes. After ten minutes, remove the lid and check the rice. Replace the lid and allow another five minutes if the rice is not done.

Add the ground nut oil to the wok, and allow to heat. Stir fry the chicken for a few minutes until it is cooked, then the rice vinegar mixture to the wok and continue stir frying until the mixture starts to boil. Add the cashew nuts to the mixture and serve.

WARNING: Contains NUTS

All you do when you use one or the other system, or both, is perpetuate this divisive and partisan struggle between the two systems. Why feed the fires that threaten to tear asunder the already-fragile (and doomed) Anglo-American alliance?

Instead, pick some third, neutral system, that supports neither the communistic social engineering plot of Metricism nor the imperialist Imperialism of Imperialism. In my math classes, for example, we do everything in Units. Why not use those?

by moriveth on Sun Nov 18th, 2001 at 01:49:22 PM PST
I believe that both the Imperial system and metric system are badly in need of revision on technical grounds.

The flaws of the metric system are significant and fundamental. A kilo is just too large (does losing 2 kilos or 5 pounds sound better?). By contrast, a gram is far too small for everyday use. A pound is a happy medium.

Similarly, a centimeter is just too small for a single cm to be a significant visible quantity, while the inch is just about right. Would you rather say you are 5'9" or 175 cm? Which is the superior way of communicating your height? The meter is too large, and you can simply use the yard anyway if you need to. While perhaps convenient for some scientists (those not tormented on a daily basis by the unsuitability of units like the Farad), the metric system is sadly inadequate for everyday life.

Yet metric advocates counter that the base 10-centric system makes everyday calculations easier considering the irregularity of the Imperial system. In this contention the metric advocates are doubtless correct. But who uses decimal numbers for anything practical in this day and age? The choice of base 10, while no doubt appropriate for the 19th century, is an anachronism in the 21st.

In our fast-paced, technologically advanced modern world, we cannot afford to perpetuate backwards, flawed measurement systems like the metric system and the Imperial system. I look forward to the day when we can measure our cooking ingredients in hexadecimal.

The best processors are obviously made by Intel. Other companies make processors too, such as Sun and AMD, and while these are OK, they are not guaranteed to be Intel-compatible.

Intel compatible how? Sure you can't stick a Sun SPARC into a motherboard designed for an Intel x86. The same goes for AMD processors. Yet his instructions tell you to buy an Intel P4 and put it in an AMD board. All motherboards are the same? Obviously the thought of socket 7, socket 370, Slot A, Slot I, Socket A don't exist. Ha!

Memory - You need a maximum of 128MB of ram. Again, as with the PC case a lot of nonsense is talked about memory. What you need for your functioning PC is 1 generic 128MB 168-pin PC-100 DIMM.

When this "article" was written the chipsets used with the P4 only allowed for use of RDRAM. Recent chipsets allow you to use PC-133 SDRAM. In most boards available when the article was written PC-100 SDRAM would fry.

Don't go for a SCSI device, however, as it won't work on your machine without an expensive 'SCSI adaptor' (as the boffins love to call them).

Calling it a SCSI adapter is about as simplified as you can get.

The step by step guide is a joke. Written guides on building a computer are confusing. Pictures would have improved it. However, seeing as how this computer would just be a giant beeper (and a smoke machine if you leave it on long enough) it obvious why no pictures were provided. Installing the OS instructions are incomplete. There is no mention of going into CMOS and setting the boot order (which is necessary to boot from the CDROM drive at all).

I seriously doubt that dmg has ever built a computer let alone put this attempted this configuration. Any PC technician (or first timer) would laugh at this. In fact at the PC Boards at boards.ign.com they often do.

A few minor technical errors and everyone wants to crucify me ?

OK, I admit that further research shows that AMD chips dont fit on P4 motherboards without some kind of adapter, but is this really any reason to keep going ON and ON and ON about it ?

Many people found my DIY guide a refreshing change from the usual patronising 'geek-centric' guides you commonly find on the net.

And my ability to build PCs has nothing to do with my culinary abilities. Perhaps you too are good at more than one thing ?

The step by step guide is a joke.

That formidable insight doesnt seem sufficient to dissuade you from trotting out a litany of uninteresting technical corrections; to forsake the obtuse, the joke relies on its audience for comedic effect. Pretty funny, eh? Anyway, if you have an argument for why assembling a computer is the necessary qualification for being able to cook a delicious meal, I'm prepared to re-evaluate the Geek's misplaced faith in his powers to weave an argument without introducing a fallacy.

I am afraid it was not a joke. It was an honest attempt to demystify the process of building a PC. A process that had become obfuscated and made to seem like a black art by the legions of so-called 'experts' at 'geek' places like hardocp, anandtech and uncle tom's hardware.

Some people were very quick to criticise the minor technical problems with the article, but my main point shines through. Building a PC is easy, don't let the 'geeks' and 'nerds' tell you any different.

I find it amusing that these 'overclockers' complain that my advice may lead to broken/damaged hardware, when they seem to spend their entire lives attempting to fry their CPUs with illegal clock speeds.

I am a geek. Geek simply states that you are a technically minded person when it comes to computers. As someone who claims to be a former MCSE you should at least be aware of this. I say aware because I would never consider an MCSE to have the technical merit to be considered a geek

Building a PC is rather easy, if you are willing to do at least a little research before building one.

I find it amusing that these 'overclockers' complain that my advice may lead to broken/damaged hardware, when they seem to spend their entire lives attempting to fry their CPUs with illegal clock speeds.

Fortunately many overclockers do not blindly increase the speed of the processor. They take into consideration stability as well as temperature. Not to mention that people who overclock generally know what they are doing. Anyone who would read your article and attempt to believe it and follow it obviously knows nothing. How much time, money and hard work would be wasted purchasing incompatible parts, and immedaitely burning them out?

Also the adapter I believe you are referring to is a Slocket adapter. It has nothing to do with putting Pentium processors on AMD/SPARC/Transmeta/PPC boards or putting those on Pentium boards. Not to mention that you cannot get a SPARC processor for a PC. At most you can obtain one for use in a workstation. Not to mention that Windows only runs on Intel/AMD x86 processors. So I have no idea why you made references to Sun Microsystems' SPARC processor in your article.

The best processors are obviously made by Intel.

Based on what? Depends on what you wanna use it for. For simple office and web surfing they're all pretty much equal. Although the AMD Athlon is know for having better application speed. You could also site the PowerPC, but you can't readily build your own Mac. You can try though. Pentium processors are known for good gaming, but for building a gaming rig AMD is preferred. It offers better ability to customize. Not to mention that P4s are still way too pricey.

How many MCSEs have no jobs right now? How many jobs do you find in the classifieds or job searches that solely require an MCSE? If MCSEs are so valuable then do the make less than someone with a CNA, or a CNE? MCSEs are a dime a dozen. Ever wonder why, and why there are so many (unemployed)?

You are so so wrong. Windows runs on Sparc, and if you look at Microsofts web site , you will find that it runs on MIPS, ALPHA and PowerPC platforms. You clearly do not know very much about the software industry. Perhaps you should refrain from commenting on issues which you know nothing about.

Haha, these are NOT Windows OSes. These are simply development tools that run on various processors. Can you run Windows on a PowerPC (Mac)? No. Microsoft tried it years ago. What happened? It blew up in their face. Sure Microsoft still supports Alpha but not SPARC nor PPC. Not to mention that Sun Microsysytems has declared war on Microsoft. I guess their still pissed about the whole Java Virtual Machine crap. Not to mention how MS has been running off at the mouth about Unix/Linux.

AS far as the link you gave for "RealPC", so what? RealPC for Solaris now emulates the Intel Pentium processor, which enables your Solaris workstation to run all the latest Windows and MS-DOS applications. This is NOT a native NT OS for SPARC. I can do the same thing with vmware on Linux.

Despite what you think I am not one of these little idiots running around screaming "Microsoft sucks 'cause it sucks, and that's why it sucks". If I say Unix/Linux is better than Windows in a certain area it's because it's true. Like the fact that Windows is resource hungry or that Microsoft's licensing scheme sucks because it requires companies to upgrade when Microsoft says so, whether they need to or not.

Why is it do you think Linux sucks? Now I am not saying that I think Linux is ready to dethrone Windoze. But there are two sides to the coin in the matter.

One is:

Windoze sucks because it sucks and that's why it sucks Actually that's a pretty funny way to put it. It's also not that far from the truth.

The other is:

Linux sucks because it sucks and that's why it sucks

I seriously hope that you are not going to use the same references that Microsoft and the Gartner Group uses (sales) to determine the number of Linux systems out there. If so, multiple reports show that's bullshit and the precentage is a lot higher.

Here's what I mean:

If I buy 10 PCs that came pre-loaded with Windoze, then buy one retail copy of any Linux distro. If I then nuke Windoze and install Linux on those machines, I would them have 10 Linux Boxes. However, according to Microsoft and the Gartner Group they are still Windoze machines.

I know it may seem like I'm coming of in favor of Linux, but it's true.

Sure I'll admit you'll probably not see someone running Linux on their PC as often as they do Windoze. However, I run into Unix/Linux everyday in the corporate world.

That's fine. I will admit that Linux is not ready to be a mainstream desktop OS or an "everybody OS" like Windows and MacOS.

Your friends may not but there other people in the world. Now are these businesses you worked for or just companies you happened into? I mean I could rattle of a list off companies that run Linux. I mean Dell recently announces that it will offer Linux on its desktops in countries other than Australia, again. This includes the US.

Most of the time your not gonna see Linux running on say a server. Most servers don't have big signs on them that read, THIS THING RUNS LINUX. Not all servers have monitors attached to them. If they do they are not always on. Not to mention Linux boxes and servers running Linux look just like any other. It runs on almost every platform. Some people dual boot. So you may have walked by a system running Linux and didn't even know it.

I mean the only system you can look at and know immediately what it's running is the ShitBox, I mean BeBox. One look at that thing and you know it's running POS, uh BeOS. I must admit however, that the classic BeBox did have a fairly stylish case design.

I know I'd remove it from my system if I could, but I cant because there is no damn uninstall program like there is in Windows. See, microsoft isnt scared to provide an uninstall feature because it knows it's better than whatever you might want to uninstall into. It's all a matter for logic, really.

Microsoft also run 20 or more servers in the public domain world wide running Linux. Microsoft claims they are used solely for research.


oh! I'm afraid I have some bad news for you (none / 0) (#48)

You know all the geeks hired by all those companies you've listed to work in the mailroom? The ones who thought they were being revolutionary by submitting their employer's name on Redhat.com's "Look Who's Using Linux Survey"? Well, they've long since been fired. We're in a recession, you know. Mailboys talking about quake and badmouthing Microsoft are an unacceptable luxury in these hard economic times.

Most of the companies on the list are active Partners of Red Hat Inc as well as Caldera, SuSE, and Mandrakesoft. Not to mention that many of the companies on the list are also developing linux software. Many of the big name/well known companies on that list already have Linux software on the market.

"ALL" as you put it twice is short sighted and just plain dumb. Netscape develops their browser for linux. AOL is currently developing a version of, well, AOL for Linux. Not to mention that IBM has a multi billion dollar Linux Lab & has already began implementing Linux Mainframes (one machine that can run multiple instances of Linux, and can replace 30-100 NT or Sun server systems). They have also been running commercials promoting linux e-business solutions for quite some time.

Also obviously you didn't read the list because included on it are comapnies such as Red Hat, SuSE, etc. Linux was running on the graphics rendering servers for the movie Shrek (as stated in an interview with the animators). Another hint that you didn't bother to read the list is that you didn't see that some of the company names included the word linux. This includes the Linux Journal which I pick up from time to time along with my copy of PC Magazine and PC World.

The NSA has there own version of Linux. NYSE replaced the Unix server systems (no MS in that server room) with Linux. Toyota is building a brand new Linux network to improve information tranfers between dealerships (info from their site).

Here's where I got the information:

http://www.m-tech.ab.ca/linux-biz/

All of these sites run Linus for some one reason or another. It also gives information on where and how.

Yeah. Next time I want to know whether somebody is qualified to build a PC, I'll have them cook something, just to see. If they can cook, then they can build a PC. Truly a recipe for success.
