  1. Slashdot trolled with greater efficiency! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Windows Accelerators - Do They Really Work?

    Now with 88 bits, trolls can generate traffic on Slashdot 11/4 times faster than normal, 32-bit OS using trolls!

    Come on guys, look at some of these claims:

    Am I the only one who noticed this little tidbit on the bottom of the linked page?

    Look. It's got a friendly Technicolor wizard, so it must be true.

    From the Hare faq

    Q. How does Hare accelerate the computer? Does it tweak some Windows settings?

    • Unlike most PC acceleration programs, which will only tweak a few registry settings (something anyone can do manually), and accelerate a few tidbits such as menu scrolling speed in order to let you think an acceleration is present, Hare really accelerates the computer by using two proprietary technologies:
    • Hare technology: the core of Hare is a re-written Kernel, working at up to 88-bit (instead of the standard 32-bit) and accelerating most basic system actions by acting as the Windows Kernel. This is done by triple-buffering all I/O data, in order to achieve an emulated 88-bit Kernel. This technology is fully safe and we have implemented safeguards in order to make it impossible to damage your computer. CPU Tasking: the CPU Tasking technology's goal is to give more CPU to the program you currently use. Even if you don't know it, there are a lot of programs working in background and sucking CPU from your frontmost application - the CPU Tasking will know how much CPU you must give to each application.

    That seems a bit suspicious. 88-bit!? Ok, so it's emulated. That still seems like 1) a strange number (not 64, not 128) and 2) would "emulated" 88-bit architecture really work? Isn't the CPU's inherent 32-bitness (or 64-bitness) the end-all anyway?

    Doesn't Windows already do this?
