  1. Re:and then what? on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Nineties wants its comment back! Takes less than 1 second to select Slashdot from bookmark menu, and then maybe 10 seconds to load it. Yes, the complete desktop version, yes, it's readable, even ajax works on it (* tested on Nokia 6120 Classic, 6110 Navigator and E90). 2 Mbit/s HSDPA connection rocks in conjunction with some *MODERN* phone, of course it's going to display like sh*t on some phone from 1999. Flat fee internet costs maybe 10 euros per month...

    Well, since it is kelvin grams (Kg), just launch it into the space really really cold, but with warm 100 kelvin grams (Kg) of fuel. The sun will heat the device up, thus generating potentially break even amount kelvin watts (KW)!

    Microsoft standard critic got fired

    Picture text: Lassi Nirhamo participated SFS (Finnish Standards Association) press conference just last week, where he said he'll take OOXML subject to ISO workgroup. Finland's vote may change in the spring.

    SFS has surprisingly ended work contract of information technology standards team's new expert Lassi Nirhamo. Just last week Nirhamo participated SFS's press conference and was going to take Finland's views about OOXML to the ISO.

    Lassi Nirhamo tells Tietokone magazine, that he was informed losing his job last thursday, when four month test period was about to be finished. At that point employer can legally give notice to end the contract without giving any reason why.

    What Lassi Nirhamo wonders is the fact there was absolutely no reason given. "It's rather difficult to say anything about the reasons, because they never told me", says Nirhamo.

    Lassi Nirhamo was leading Finland's OOXML-meeting, in which Finland's vote was decided. In the middle of the meeting Nirhamo surprised the participants by telling he won't be the chairman, but a private person. At that point he declared to be against accepting Microsoft's standard. In the end of the meeting Nirhamo suggested to vote void.

    The CEO of SFS Pekka Järvinen tells the reason for ending the contract was lack of trust. "Unfortunately certain things came in to daylight during the test period that prevent trust. I can't elaborate any further than this", says Järvinen on the phone.

    SFS is looking for a new expert, whose responsibilities will include many information technology projects, such as continuing on OOXML in ISO in the spring.

  5. Re:32-bit Genesis before 16-bit Super NES? on AMD Unveils SSE5 Instruction Set · · Score: 2, Informative

    Motorola 6800x, 68010 are 16-bit designs, that is, 16-bit processors with 32-bit register file. Whenever you used 32-bit operands on those CPUs, they were slower, because it was really executing them in 16-bit parts. Bus was also 16-bits wide, but with 24 address lines. It was just a forward-thinking design hiding 16-bitness.
