So is this thing pipelined? Branch-prediction? Speculative execution? How about a cache-consistency protocol? Darn, no out-of-order execution or completion units? I expected a tuned a 4-way SMP NUMA box w/ 128MB of on-die cache and dual-ported RAM. I coulda made that w/ light-switches, solar cells and duck-tape.;)
Once in comp arch class, we were asked on a final to design a 32-bit pipelined microprocessor out of twigs and bits of string. Beat that! JK. It just seems people have too much free time nowadays, whatever happened to the 90 hr work-week and sub-standard working conditions?
Silly, a few PALs and an FPGA would be alot cheaper, and there's even specs from Altera how to make a VGA or TV composite output single. Heck you can built your own programmer, and altera gives away the dev tools for free; less parts, less hassle. All you need is 2x the amount of ram you want for a framebuffer, and you can do synchronous double-buffering to avoid having dual-ported or SGRAM/WRAM.

Maybe some moderators think that unfunny british drag queens aren't exactly top-notch humor. Imagine that.

hahaha i don't even have an A+, i don't 'think' i know jack shit, but i honestly don't care. if you really think knowing more about computers than the next guy really means more than just that, you are a sad individual indeed...
True dat. Arrogant know-nothing faggots need to be dragged behind a truck with a chain. Maybe that's a bit tasteless.. but yeah.

But what's the point?
Fuck off you arrogant prick.
Pick up alot of girls with that attitude?
This guy has too much time on his hands.
I use year/month/day. It makes sense logically, and is understood by Americans.

Get it while it's hot ladies!
I bet as a proud holder of an A+ certification you think you know everything that there is to know about computers and OSs.
Please move along you stupid, worthless, jackass.
