PPC G5 On The Way -- And Fast
Sulka writes: "The Register has a report claiming the PPC G5 CPU is ready for production and will be launched by Apple in January. Initial batch would include a 1.6GHz version with 2GHz to follow. 64 bit architecture, 10 stage pipeline, Silicon-On-Insulator and other buzzwords are mentioned." Maybe this will mean cheaper G4s for those of us who buy computers somewhat lower on the food chain, too.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered troll community when last month IDC confirmed that "*BSD is dying" trolls accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all Slashdot posts. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that "*BSD is dying" trolls have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. "*BSD is dying" trolls are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive trolling test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the future of "*BSD is dying" trolls. The hand writing is on the wall: "*BSD is dying" trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for "*BSD is dying" trolls because "*BSD is dying" trolls are dying. Things are looking very bad for "*BSD is dying" trolls. As many of us are already aware, "*BSD is dying" trolls continue to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Troll leader Anonymous Coward states that there are 7000 goatse.cx trolls. How many ascii art trolls are there? Let's see. The number of goatse.cx versus ascii art posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ascii art trolls. "*BSD is dying" posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of ascii art posts. Therefore there are about 700 "*BSD is dying" trolls. A recent article put "first post" at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "first post" trolls. This is consistent with the number of first posts.
All major surveys show that "*BSD is dying" trolls have steadily declined in market share. "*BSD is dying" is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If "*BSD is dying" trolls are to survive at all it will be among troll hobbyist dabblers. "*BSD is dying" continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, "*BSD is dying" is dead.
I want to suck allahs all mighty PENIS.
Dear ekrout,
Using the term "b0xen" does not make you "l33t" or "c00l". In fact it, it makes you seem like a scriptkiddie or some other form of loser. Please consult a dictionary in the future if you are unfamiliar with the plural form of a word.
Sincerely,
The death to the use of "boxen" and "unixen" guy
PS: I have seen OS X (10.0.4) running on a demo machine at a local computer store and it seemed quite snappy to me. From reports of 10.1 developer releases it will be even faster still.
haha I have more karma than you, you suck.
You don't need to convince him, just rape him up the ass until he agrees.
Great, Bin Laden loved the G4's for his terrorist mastermind plots. Now he will have even more computing power at his disposal.
(Why he'd want to use a piece of shit Apple is beyond me, but hey, I'm not a loser Apple user, nor am I a dastardly evil terrorist.)
Thanks for that uhh, "insightful" abuse of your +1 posting bonus. (Moderators, please moderate this karma whoring terrorist DOWN!)
> Naw, you're just an idiot.
'Tis better to be an idiot than an Apple using fucktard.
If you love your wife and soulmate then it wouldn't truly matter how much you had to spend on her. As long as it makes her happy, then even even last dollar on this planet wouldn't and couldn't be enough for you to make her happy. That is truly how you should feel and believe. I do and my soulmate has never lost her smile since the very moment her eyes have met mine. I would and will stop at nothing to make her happy. There is no amount of money I wouldn't spend on her. I am sorry about you in your relationship. My wishes and prayers go out to you and your family. You make me sad.
