Is Prescott 64-bit?

unassimilatible writes "According to The Inquirer, Intel's new Prescott has 64 bit instructions lurking inside. Could really rain on the parade of those who thought the new Athlon 64's would be supreme - especially when you look at Intel's price roadmap. Don't run out and buy an Athlon 64 just yet..."

    I don't see what the big deal about running 64 and 32 bit applications natively is. Sparc64 has done this since inception. It probably blows athlon 64 chips out of the water too. Won't run windows though. That's about all Athlon 64 has over them anyway. Waht a fcuking sahme. Too bad widnows is so fkucing poupalr. Dnam mircofost.

    Geeze, the linked article was just as catty and relying on insider vocabulary that 1) it was hard to understand what they were hinting at, and 2) I was sure they would segue into juicy gossip about Ben and J-Lo.

    I, for one, welcome our new Nigger overlords.

    But then again I love the feeling of a huge black snake massaging my white asshole and pink pussy from the inside.

    I hereby declare that the first slashdot poster to get a legitimately +5 moded post that links to this one with an explanation of why its not really racism wins the slashdot troll wars forever.

    NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

    To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your
    failure to elect a decent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves,
    we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective
    today.

    Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties
    over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she
    does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP
    for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world
    outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the
    need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.

    A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of
    you noticed.

    To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following
    rules are introduced with immediate effect:

    1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
    Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed
    at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should
    raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the
    same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and
    "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up
    "interspersed".

    2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know
    on your behalf.

    3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.
    It really isn't that hard.

    4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
    good guys.

    5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
    Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get
    confused and give up half way through.

    6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind
    of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good
    game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
    borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no
    longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
    Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a
    difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
    (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping
    fora rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
    nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side
    by 2005.

    7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if
    they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that
    there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The
    Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".

    8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new
    national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive
    Day".

    9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for
    your own good. When we show you Italian cars, you will understand what we
    mean.

    10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
