Intel's Itanium Will Get x86 Emulation

pissoncutler writes "Intel has announced that they will be releasing a software emulation product to allow 32-bit x86 apps to run on Itanium Processors. According to these stories (story 1, story 2), the emulator is capable of the x86 performance of a 1.5Ghz Xeon (when run on a similar speed Itanium.) Who said that no one cared about x86 anymore?"

    Seriously though, it's leaner than Win2k, and most services are turned off, so it's a worthwhile desktop upgrade: especially since MS won't go after individuals using it as a desktop with the BSA Stasi.

    You will see a lot of flamebait about the subject. Anyway, KDE 3.1.9 (the pre alpha version of 3.2) in cvs has a lot of promise. There will soon be support for the long awaited xcursor and xrandr extensions and OpenOffice 1.1 beta is actually fast and almost useable. The 2.5.x kernel has a load of goodies for desktop users too.

    Wait until KDE 3.2 Openoffice 1.1 and Kernel 2.6 comes out, then you will find your flamebait has been all but extinguished.

    The vagina is rich in vulvatic sensor spots & cooperates with your clitoral system in the up and down movements of sexual arousal & orgasm. Vaginal stimulation greatly enhances & multiplies masturbation, perienium stimulation, and orgies. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with vaginal stimulation, is to relax, and use one quart of 10W30 (the vagina produces no lubrication of its own during normal stimulation), and enjoy.
    The anus is rich in nerve endings & participates with your genitals in the contractions of sexual arousal & orgasm. Anal stimulation greatly enhances & intensifies masturbation, oral sex, or intercourse. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with anal play, is relax, use plenty of lube (the anus & rectum do not produce any lubrication of their own), and enjoy.
    To make stimulation smoother and more comfortable, it is often helpful to lubricate your fingers before stroking the perineum during lovemaking.

    watch who you're calling shorty, farm boy.

    There, there. Most women will say it's not the size, but what you do with it that counts, anyhow.

    Actually its not the size or how its used. Its how other things are used.

    Unfortunately, more often than not, the OS ends up being Windows NT/2000/XP. :(

    Yes, it is unfortunate. In my experience, Solaris on Sun hardware has been bulletproof, where the applications are clearly the source of problems (Pro/E crashes plenty well on its own). In Windows, it isn't always so transparent, many thanks to Microsoft's build-it-now-fix-it-later attitude.

    Hopefully, if PCs are to rule the CAD market, the vendors will have the sense to begin using Linux-based or BSD-based systems (I've read Pro/E will be available for Red Hat sometime, which is encouraging).
