Chinese "Dragon" Chip On Sale
mrseigen writes "The processor that Chinese firms have been working on as a response to foreign equipment and software is now available for pre-order. The Inquirer did an article here, and the company website is here. The chip will supposedly ship with Midori Linux."
Awesome. FP

For the communist in you, take advantage of the new instruction, JZE.
JZE (Jiang Zemin) code that will, although ugly, slow and out with the times, can still really do some whacky shit! Not nearly as crazy, though, as the KIL (Kim Jong-Il) instruction that those crazy North Koreans have added to their chips.

So is this what happened to Midori? It offered a tremendous amount of promise, but it just never got updated (circa 2001) - egh! Does anyone know of a Midori equivalent that's actually recent (and not LFS)?
It looks like Midori shut their mouth for one reason or another after Transmeta took over.
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
...does that mean SCO owns the intellectual property to the chip?

I hear you. The open borders crowd owns Congress, however. The American people don't want the vast influx of immigrants who provide what is basically a slave labor force. They don't want to see jobs outsourced to India simply because Indians are so poor that they'll work for nearly nothing. Corporations do want this however, and they own Congress. Republicans are so used to fending off Democratic attacks on American business, that they don't realize that it's slightly different with a multi-national business. A rising tide lifts all boats, sure, but third world countries have a long way to be lifted. And Democrats are so into the hogwash of diversity and multi-culturalism, that they embrace an influx of third-worlders right across the boarder without a second thought. And that's despite the fact that it's primarily poor Americans whom it hurts -- Blacks have lost out to Hispanic labor in an especially big way.
I'll recommend two websites:
VDARE -- An immigration reform site
The American Conservative -- Pat Buchanan's new magazine It's got some good pieces even if you don't agree with the politics. And it's saying some things no one else is.
We are only talking about the product plan of a commerical company in Hong Kong! What the hell does it have to do with Tibet or People's Liberation Army!!! Next time when Intel or AMD develop a new CPU, does we have to discuss about everything from Ku Klux Klan to Hiroshima to the peril of Palestinian to the bloodshed in Iraq? Why do we have all these reflexive responses about Tibet whenever China is mentioned?
Take your political discussion to the appropiate forum. As far as this article is concerned, this is OFFTOPIC.
On one hand it is great to have another processor go mainstream in the PC market. This helps keep the prices low, increases the variety of hardware and software development, provides yet another area for hacking (the hobbyist type not the 5cr1p7 k1ddy type), and helps move technology into areas previously limited by economic or political factors.
On the other hand, as much as I like to explore new toys rarely do I have the resources to gamble on new unproven technologies (both time and money, sigh). So it is unlikely that I would consider buying such a system instead of an Intel or AMD box (in fact although I own an older AMD box, if I bought today I would probably lean towards Intel slightly just to reduce any "apparent" or "preceived" risk). Since statistically speaking I am not alone in this opinion new technologies like the Dragon probably have a long battle in front of them to gain any market share in countries with established "mainstream" technologies.

This has to be said... ./. Not only to I get a reasonable sample of targetted news stories that appeal to my interests, more importantly, I get a variety of views and opinions from people on both sides of many issues. To often I find that following only local (read as: local to North America in my case) media that I hear only snippets , single sides, or limited scopes of many international issues. Many times I do not even hear of some issues that are happening globally that for various reasons are not carried by local media. Reading the posted comments from a variety of people all over the world (and listening to late night CBC radio; news from other countries) gives me insight and knowledge of a more "worldly nature" rather then the limited scope presented by local media.
The various comments made in this story is a classic example of one of the reasons I read
Most importantly the comments are by "real people" as opposed to executive summaries presented by media which may be following personal agenda's. Sure you can say "you give weight to the *insert whatever derogatory adjective* posted by the select group of *insert whatever derogatory adjective* people?!", but even taking that into account I still gain a variety of good information on many topics I would otherwise not have. Examples included but not limited to are:
- the thread on China in this story
- the many comments on/from persons living in Quebec Canada in previous
/. stories (even the news in my own Country does not always reflect what the "little person" thinks)
- the various discussion on the War with Iraq from non-North Americans
and the list could go on and on.Yes, /. have its share of trolls, useless arguments, and cannon fodder type posting but it has its share of "interesting" and "insightful" posts also (otherwise you would not be reading this :) ).
In a nutshell, thank you readers of /. for broadening my horizons and giving me a wealth of consice information that I would otherwise not have had (due to lack of time to research and lack of awareness of the entire issue).
Merlin. P.S. and hey, even though this post may not show it, I am actually improving in both grammer and spelling thanks to a select group of /. readers :-)
You give the same weapons to the Palestinians that the US is giving Israel and I promise you they'll use those instead doing suicide bombings.
(As a sitenote, Arafat has said the same thing)
it's in my head
