Hardware, Embedded Systems It's that time of the year again: the Top 500 list of supercomputers has been published, as they do every six months. Just for fun, I decided to compare the list released this month to then-current list when OSNews launched; we started in August 1997, so let's compare the list of today to the one from June 1997.

Well, because they don't have any data labels. I don't like pie charts without data labels. On top of that, making charts and tables is fun.

I mean that ;) .

In that case I'd appreciate it if the labels could be made correctly (x86_64 != x68_64).

I'm on 64-bit Red Hat 4; I can't easily install flash, which those charts use. I'm glad he didn't steal them. ;)

You should however be able to install gnash. Gnash is now up to its 4th beta release:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

Gnash is being actively developed at the moment. Therefore, although many features work, not all movies play successfully. The fourth beta release of Gnash has was made at version 0.8.5 on March 3, 2009.


As it says, not everything works, but having said that, a lot of flash that is on the web does in fact work.

Gnash 0.8.5 has fixed quite a bit of the problem of integration with browsers, so it not only plays flash now, it can nearly always download it too. Thats a bonus.
