The SPECjbb2000 benchmark tested the server-side Java performance of Linux running in a logical partition on a 4-way 820. While Linux on the iSeries didn't perform as fast as OS/400 on the iSeries, it achieved a respectable 19,793 operations per second -- better than the results for all of Sun's 4-way servers and some of Compaq's 4-ways.

Several Internet monitoring firms say Web traffic is functioning normally again -- but others remained concerned about the worm. SOURCE: IDG http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2001/0920nimda.html [3] "IBM, Sun update Web tools" IBM and Sun have each announced upgraded tools for building applications and Web services. IBM placed the latest version of its Web Services Toolkit (WSTK) on its alphaWorks Web site for developers. WSTK v2.4 offers developers a runtime environment as well as introductory material and examples of Web services that developers can use. Sun's Forte for Java 3.0, Enterprise Edition, is also now generally available. The company said that the primary focus of the new version is enhanced support for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) and creating XML-based services.

For the first time, the word "sex" is not among the top 10 search terms on the Internet. Sex has been displaced by news and information relative to the terrorist attacks. An official with AltaVista said more people are putting "Osama bin Laden" into their search boxes than "Pamela Lee Anderson," and Old Glory herself (the American flag) is stirring more interest in cyberspace than Britney Spears. Google reported a search surge for words like "CNN," "World Trade Center," "Taliban" and "American Red Cross," but none of them was as sought-after as the word "Nostradamus." People wanted to know just how valid that "Nostradamus predicted this" e-mail was. (It wasn't.)

The printer works fine except when printing a report of more than 100 pages. When this happens, it prints the first 100 pages, stops, and then ends the writer abnormally. The job logs don't really say anything except for a network problem. The printer is fine when printing from a Windows application. I've looked at the printer definition and in the PSFCFG, I bumped up the ACRFRQ value to 200 and the printer will now print up to 200 pages, but it still ends the writer on the AS/400."
