Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott

Alizarin Erythrosin writes "Further contributing to the MHz Myth, The Register and ZDNet are reporting that the new P4 core, codenamed Prescott, will have a longer pipeline then Northwood. No official numbers have been released, but The Reg is saying an Intel spokesman said that 30 stages seems to be a reasonable estimate. As most of us know, a longer pipeline can lead to slowdowns in the form of branch mispredictions and pipeline stalls. 'And just as the PIII proved faster than the early P4s in some applications, it's likely that Northwood will similarly prove faster than Prescott, which has clearly been designed for speeds of the order of 4GHz.'"

    Oh, I suppose that that extra license fee for an actual quality operating system would have broken that $410M dollar budget. There's no way they could have afforded an embedded operating system that isn't cheap communist software. They could have gone with QNX RTOS, VxWorks or any number of other quality and time-tested real-time operating systems for the Mars rover, from a reputable company. But NOOOOO, they went with bullshit free-as-in-fix-everything-yourself Linux. Some long-haired balding fat Linux zealot, sucking up oodles of tax money with his blob-like presence in the NASA "engineering corps", with a certain penchant for cheap software, came up with the brilliant idea of running embedded Linux on an Apple Macintosh of all things.

    Hamid Karzai is a former employee of Unocal, which was involved in negotiations with the Taliban to run said pipeline. After the negotations failed, the US Gov. was asked by Unocal to intervene. I don't have a citation, but other nations have confirmed that plans to invade or otherwise intimidate (with military force) Afghanistan existed by summer of 2001 -- well before the terrorist attack that provided a palatable reason to the American public.

    it's still on the agenda.

    a trans-afghan pipeline has been encouraged by the us for years preceding the latest invasion of the country. it may never be built, but it is still being pushed by the US. There has been news trickling in fairly steadily in the past two months about this. eg from times of india jan 12

    the kazakhs HAVE a good deal of oil/gas - it needs to get south and west. maybe you're referring to the BTC pipeline project that replaced the first trans-afghan pipeline plan.

    the idea put forth by the "conspiracy nuts" is that the US had an interest in occupying the region because their presence means they can fund and participate in the installation of new export infrastructure (like the BTC, in which US-based Unocal is involved). The war in Afghanistan meant bases in neighboring countries like Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Kyrgyzstan, which allows for a permanent regional presence.

    it doesn't really matter where the pipeline runs -the US couldn't have participated as easily if it hadn't established a presence.

    maybe the conspiracy nuts should hold off on the apologies after unocal donates a portion of their profits to the poverty and war-stricken afghan people, or towards the all-too-modest $160 million reconstruction plan. (To put this into perspective: this doesn't even approach the size of the defecits some of the US' state budgets run).

Afghanistan becomes a less impoverished wasteland and the people who fought to keep the Taliban in place get to keep their cognitive dissonance running for a few more years. I'm certainly not going to insist that no industrial development may happen in the region because it might feed the sort of idiocy the AC who responded to me laid out nicely.
