Still I'm not completely impressed with other systems, the "meritocratic" technocratic bureaucracy espoused by the Chinese communist party seems flawed as well (don't buy Chinese Milk!).

I had a related thought yesterday after re-reading parts of "The Pragmatic Programmer".
The first time you read great books like that, they are full of some real gems and a lot of items where you think "well duh, that's obvious".
Several years later, I notice that many of the things I thought were gems of wisdom were obvious to some of my colleagues, and some of my "duh"'s take hours to explain to them.

Correction: it's one reason why some programmers *should* shy away from being too clever, yet they don't.
That only works when redirected from a google search on Experts Exchange - if you copy-paste the same link into another tab/window then you'll see the text is *not* there.
No, next time the products you're trying to show that I'm not interested will still be blocked by NoScript and/or AdBlocker. And at least I won't be in your database.
If you've spent five years couch-potatoeing over a "goal" in a computer game, still haven't achieved it, and are still playing, then you are deluding yourself.
I'm sure many drug addicts will say they'll stop right after the "perfect high". Except that never happens.
Reply to myself: another possibility is that the calculation results with GenuineIntel turned on in a VIA processor are actually wrong. Maybe the VIA doesn't support those instructions after all, defaulting to a no-operation, which is of course pretty fast.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out. It FutureMark playing favourites with Intel? Or did they actually try to avoid some substandard implementations or bugs in the VIA and AMD processors?
But nothing changes in the CPU operation if you only change the reported CPUID. In the best case that means the 3DMark developers have spent a lot more optimizing for Intel specifically, applying a number of techniques that would have been just as valid for an AMD or VIA processor. They spent that effort without bothering to check the effect on the AMD and VIA specific paths, thus they did not get the same treatment as intel.
And that's simply Intel favoritism.

BUY... grr. Must remember to actually re-read my post in preview.

This must be some use of the word "rule" that I was previously unaware of!
Shouldn't it then be: "Their are a plural possessive pronoun" ?

Yeah but the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus outsold the BMW3 in 2007 (http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/Top_ten_article.aspx?cp-documentid=7319152).
Yeah but if you don't tell your mistress that you're married she thinks she's your girlfriend!
No, next time the products you're trying to show that I'm not interested will still be blocked by NoScript and/or AdBlocker. And at least I won't be in your database.
Or buying a present for your secret girlfriend and hiding it from your wife?
I suddenly get the feeling that I'm watching "Contact". Does the lead scientist look like Jodie Foster? Is there a weird-looking albino guy around?
No, you misunderstand...
Eduction is a fancy word for "pulling data out of a rear excretory orifice.".

I agree - the front page animation is more impressive and way less creepy.
