The Mother of all BIOS Guides 65
Joey Braff writes "Many of you have probably heard of the famous BOG - BIOS Optimization Guide. For those who have not, make sure you take a look at this mega-guide with more than 300 BIOS settings and they just added 10 more! If you doubt its authenticity, note that its author is a doctor and the guide is also available as a book."

I believe the editors let an inflammatory article "slip" by one or twice a week go increase ad revenue:

This will probably be one of those articles that hits +500 messages real quick... Each message means multiple pages were loaded (login/preview, compose message, post response)... and thats only for those who bother to comment! Many many people will read the comments just to see what other are saying (since they will see so many were posted).

I've seen the kind of people who are issued doctorates, so the fact that the author is a doctor doesn't really lend to its credibility.

As my algorithms teacher routinely quoted Dijkstra: "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
I firmly believe that some CIS professors have never actually written a real program for a real compiler running on a real computer.

One of the professors at my CS study taught theoretical computer science; he was a pretty brilliant mathematician. At some point he started following the basic Pascal course that the first year students did though, since he thought that perhaps he should be able to program.
And I totally agree with Dijkstra. People who criticize CS for not teaching them how to program in a professional environment are confused.

BIOS on-line help sucks! (Score:3, Insightful)
I know about the memory problem in the BIOS itself but how much memory is needed for a normal help?
The BIOS still looks like an engineer page rather than a setup page for a normal user.
Re:BIOS on-line help sucks! (Score:1)
Should a normal user really have to change BIOS settings? It should already by optimised by whoever built the machine.
The default for a Compaq (no jeers) is to boot from the HD before the CD/DVD drive. That doesn't work if you're trying to install an OS from disc or boot from a rescue disc. The only way to change it is through the BIOS setup. So I guess it depends on your definition of "normal user".

Doctor
I'm a doctor, you know.
Pither
Oh yes, absolutely. Normally I would have asked a policeman or a minister of the Church, but finding no one available, I thought it better to consult a man with some professional qualifications, rather than rely on the possibly confused testimony of a passer-by.

Thank you.
