Gordon Moore was awarded a World technology Achievement award for 2001 for innovation. The World Technology Awards 2001: For Technology Innovation INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY — HARDWARE Winner: Mr Gordon Moore, Chairman Emeritus, Intel Corp., USA. Gordon Moore was selected for his work at IntelCorp., which he co-founded in 1968. Gordon E. Moore is currently Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation. He co-founded Intel in 1968, serving initially as Executive Vice President. He became President and Chief Executive Officer in 1975 and held that post until elected chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1979. He remained CEO until 1987 and was named Chairman Emeritus in 1997. Moore is widely known for 'Moore's Law', in which he predicted that the number of transistors that the industry would be able to place on a computer chip would double every 18 months. In 1995, he updated his prediction to once every two years. While originally intended as a rule of thumb in 1965, it has become the guiding principle for the industry to deliver ever-more powerful semiconductor chips at proportionate decreases in cost. Moore earned a BS in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley and a PhD in Chemistry and Physics from the California Institute of Technology. He was born in San Francisco, on 3 January 1929. He is a director of Varian Associates, Gilead Sciences Inc. and Transamerica Corporation. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the IEEE and a Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the California Institute of Technology. He received the National Medal of Technology in 1990 from then-President George Bush. Finalists: Mr H. T. Cho, President, High Tech Computer Corporation, Taiwan. Mr Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, Dell, USA. Prof. Shigeo Hirose, Department of Mechano-Aerospace Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan. Mr William Joy, Founder & Chief Scientist, Sun Microsystems, USA. Prof. David Patterson, Professor, Computer Science Division, UC Berkeley, USA. nature.com

Kal Kan - More STABILITY and CRASH problems with MP AthWipers !!! Pity the poor suckers that actually buy this AMD garbage - and expect it to work !!! 213.219.40.69 3Com boards cause dual Athlon crashes Tyan says drivers. We think not By Mike Magee, 24/12/2001 08:41:15 BST Updated 16.00 GMT DUAL ATHLON motherboard maker Tyan is claiming there is a driver conflict between 3Com's 3C996 Gigabit Ethernet adaptors AMD chipsets. But the problem may be worse than the bare words alone say and according to one reseller may hinder AMD from its goal to enter the server market. According to a question and answer list on the Tyan Website, the problem occurs with Network Neighborhood: "3.Why can't I browse Network Neighborhood with my 3Com 3C996 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter? "This is a driver issue with the 3c996 Gigabit Ethernet card and the AMD chipset. 3Com has the beta drivers that resolve this issue. Please contact 3Com tech support for more information." But one reseller badly affected by the problem said that is Windows marketing tranquiliser-talk. "In Win2000-speak it sounds so harmless, they cant 'browse the network neighborhood'," he said. "But the problem is more serious than this and is not a driver problem . 3Com's 3c996 causes the brand new dual Athlon boards (Tyan Thunder K7 as well as Tiger) to become unstable, they freeze sometimes. Once I saw this happen before the OS - Linux in this case - had even started, so it is emphatically not a driver problem," he added. "What a pity we bought 15 of these 3c996 cards," he said. Let's hope that AMD, 3Com and Tyan are not on holiday like Compaq until nearly Easter, so that we can attempt to get an answer to this glitch. µ * ANOTHER RESELLER of AMD and Tyan boards said he has come across this problem too, and writes: "We first observed the problem with the lowly 3C-905B Ethernet NIC. Then we had problems installing Linux on SCSI drives attached to the Adaptec on some Thunder boards. We also observed these problems with 3C982, and more devices. "How did we fix the problem, you might ask? Enter the BIOS settings. Go to the Advanced Page Turn the IDE channels back on (that is to say both, instead of Primary, or Secondary, or Disabled). It is a BIOS bug. Tyan was told about it by us at least a month ago, but so far have avoided doing anything about it."
