Coprossers don't really work with today's processors because it takes far too long to communicate between the different part. When you here about "units" in todays processors, those are like coprossers. The clearest example of this is the vector processing unit, usually a 128 bit beast that 10 years ago could be a seperate chip, but now it only really works practically if they share the same chunk of silicon
Now now, just because your school can't get into the top ten, it's no reason to get snippy.
Ask J. Random/.er what stochastic means and a large number of them will probably blink randomly and mutter something about microsoft. Sometimes the most correct words impede discussion and education, and I see no need to defend their use
Wow, I'm remembering getting into L0pht and MWA on my old LCII
I thought the site was fast back then, but that was just because you didn't have bloody pictures everywhere, and those too forever to load. That little 68030 really wasn't meant to go online, but it was a lot of fun (-:
This topic is making me nostalgic because I remember reading through all these people's sites back before spam and pop-up ads. I wish I would have emailed some of them when the net was smaller. (and had kept my origional/. number.. I can't remember how low it was, but it would probably be impressive now)
because there aren't any of those nasty branches to plug the pipeline with nops
The reason for the nops isn't actaully FUD. The itanium uses packed instructions (3 at once I think) that are executed simotaneously
so if you do not have three instructions that can be done at the same time (say, two need the result of the third) then you have to pad the instruction with nops and use more
The itanium works great for some problems that can fit into its instruction set, but it doesn't hold up for normal programs (including normal scientific programs)
Also, to the best of my knowledge, data hazards are left to the compiler (which could be pretty cool to screw with) but this isn't something I trust, especially if a compiler were using a trick for a particular processor and there was a difference in a later revision
Are there any automated tools for converting an Access97 database into MySQL?
I've been looking around, and can't seem to find any, but if they exist, it'd be really nice.
We are trying to move away from access into PHP/MySQL for a fairly small database program which they paid far far too much for that cannot even be connected to a web site (which is one of the reasons they bought it)
It's a force in the relative, but not the inertial frame.
That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, so shut up and go draw some freebodies.
(from the viewpoint of the object rotating around an axis, the centripital force is not found, so if one were studying the forces within the body without reference to the external rotation, the centrifugal force is necesary)
We all died in the rocket explosion when we tried to move here, but luckily enough people were telekenetic that we transfered our souls into the local apes.
Mic cables are pretty cheap, so it shouldn't be too hard to record on the other side of the room or in an adjacent room
you might try lowering the power usage/performance setting in the control panels as well as quiting any applications that you are not using
failing that, if protools sucks up so much power, perhaps you should record with audacity and mix in protools?
I'm actually suprised that this is a problem for you
I routinely record 3 channels with my delta 1010lt while surfing the web and having a half dozen programs in the background and I've yet to have fan noice trouble

Apple didn't offer a true multitasking, multithreading platform until OS X.
Um, what would you call A/UX?

Ask J. Random

*bow, bow* *snuggles the google bunny*
'stochastic processes'.
why can't you just say 'random shit' instead?
I know it is the real name, but who are you trying to impress?
I'm still hoping to someday find someone who will trade kung fu for web design
how would one remove . from the path?
some of the boxes I work on at school add it atomatically. I would just manually set the path, but that is annoying for two reasons.
The first being that occasionally they add something, which would break things and I would have to then go and fix it manually.
the second being that their script is all nicely machine independant and replicating that would take actual work
it seems as though one sed line should do it, but I couldn't figure it out (hardware person, not software)
no... far different types of impacts
/. and people will believe _anything_
Modern bullet proof vests would not work well as hockey pads, they are mean to stop a fast moving small dull projectile, nothing else.
yeah, I know this is just meant to be funny, but this is

it isn't possible to make DRM, especially audio that would stop people from making copies
As long as I can play it, I can always use JACK or Wiretap to redirect the stream to a file.
Video has a slightly better chance, but I'm sure that unless they move all decoding to hardware, it would be possible to hijack the stream.
Jobs admitted that the DRM wasn't good, that is why they left the format open enough that for the majority of people, it wouldn't bother them
you can burn cds, share it on your network and play it on your iPod.
Yeah, some people might want more, but this was a pretty good effort to keep the RIAA happy and not piss off customers
for OSX there is Fink
I'm not sure if YDL has something similar, but it would suprise me if they didn't
Companies try to figure out how google ranks pages and then they try to get themselves ranked more highly
So, I don't really blame google for it, especially since I think that they are trying to help the problem and penalize people who try the tricks

If you want very specialized fast floating point performance for certain scientific applications, Itanium is where it's at.
I think you made a typo
If you want code consisting of 80% NOPS, Itanium is where it's at

I think that that does it
Why not do it and go somewhere else?
