AMD has Jim Keller back, the guy behind alpha 21164/21264, athlon64, apple A4/A5, broadcom's cool SoC's (WRT54G)..he's designing their next x86-64 chip. don't count AMD out just yet.
i think what he was asking is if it comes with rediculous bandwidth caps like, oh, cableone or mediacom. like "you can have a 1 gigabit per second pipe, but you can only download 50 gigabits before we throttle you to 5 megabits per second. after that, every gigabit costs $50".
and since it's america, yeah, there will probably be a boatload of catches. "up to" 1 gigabit, if downloading from a torrent with 800 peers on a tuesday afternoon while doing the macarena in a dress.
it was closer to 145 years between the montgolfier brothers' balloon and the first commercial passenger airships, and yes balloons are comparable in air travel to rockets for space travel (primitive yet effective technology). it wasnt until shortly after passenger air service became a thing, that aviation advanced dramatically and the airplane came out on top as the primary form of air travel. we are seeing the beginnings of commercial space travel now, which i'd say is about half the time it took aviation to reach a similar level. the innovation from this point on will be exponential (and cost will decrease likewise over decades), just as it was with aviation.
the wayback machine shows this as very incorrect. i did, however, manage to find a taliban.com site from 1998, which told of a move to http://ummah.net/taliban/ - which by 2000, had again moved to http://www.afghan-ie.com/ - by the 21st of april 2001, this was down as well.
i dont think anyone was advocating using an empty usb drive, which is nothing but a storage medium, in place of this. but rather, one of the many quad-core android jellybean hdmi dongles available from china for $30-80 (with varying hardware specs) such as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkws05jsAH8

nobody wants a 100% compatible substitute for outlook, because people want their email to -work-. outlook is awful, i spend more time supporting outlook bugs and failures than any other single thing in the office.
the pentium2 used this design because it did not include L2 cache in the actual cpu die as all later cpu's did.
the pentium p54c and p55c had their L2 cache on the motherboard, at system bus speed. the pentium pro had the L2 cache in the ceramic cpu package, at full processor speed (233/266/300mhz), but this was expensive to produce.
when they brought the p6 design to mainstream production, cheaper, half cpu speed L2 cache chips were used along with the cpu core in its own package, with both on a daughterboard in a common heatsink assembly called a slot-1 cpu. this was both cheaper to produce than the pentium pro and faster than the L2 at bus speed design of previous cpu's.
when die shrinks and memory technology advanced sufficiently to allow L2 cache to be integrated into a single cpu die along with the traditional cpu (coppermine pentium 3) it became cheaper to manufacture just the one chip in a pinned package again, as no external cache chips needed to be included with it.
this had nothing to do with a technology limitation, and everything to do with cost. electrically, slot-1 and socket-370 were virtually the same, with similar pinouts.
seriously, the last 3 winters here have been frozen hell (not snowy, but inches of ice on everything - think 30ft trees falling over under the weight of the ice, and that being the norm not the exception), and getting colder every year - to the point where i couldnt even stay in my own home for weeks last winter, even my workplace was on generator power for over 2 weeks.
this winter so far isnt bad, and i hope the rest isnt awful. it likely means a very hot summer (even more than the 90f norm) but im all for that.
or maybe im looking for an easy way out.
i dont have the time for look for another job, being on call 24/7 and major projects always overlapping..cant quit, bills need paying. im more or less stuck in hell for now.
..and that is IT technician at a call center.
at least the company i work for, i am solely responsible for keeping 500 pc's, all associated switches and servers etc up and running - and i am surrounded by people with double digit iq's - or to put it another way, i'm astonished that i havent brought my kalashnikov to work yet.
almost anything is less stressful than dealing with hundereds of idiots that cant figure out that a mouse wont work if it isnt plugged in, or elderly hillbilly management from oklahoma that thinks thousands of dollars worth of equipment grows on electric trees, and that months of work can be done in 2 days.
i hope they fuckin fire me. at least then ill be able to look for another job and still have a govt check to pay rent while i do so.

it blows my fucking mind how many people here are placing the blame on the person who's papers were confiscated. this is completely unacceptable.
google says the exchange rate is currently 1.36 euros to 1 dollar. 10 billion euros would be 7.37 billion dollars.
that was across borders, sir. US law doesnt really apply outside the US, and im sure our govt gives no fucks, zero, about other nation's laws.
if you plug it into a tv its a pretty good drawing pad

this is exactly right, and the media is assisting them in this grand distraction.

OSX -is- NeXTSTEP, every bit as much as windows XP -is- windows NT.
did anyone else not receive an email with a link?

seriously, people. lern 2 spele. its a 'poll' not a 'pole' - i guess this is what we get out of 'no child left behind' :(

monster? hah. closest jobs listed online, are 4-7 hour drives away.

"The way companies treat their employees will affect your happiness level much more than whatever it is you actually do for them." damn skippy!
