Indeed. I was asked "If the defendant was accused of kidnapping the victim with a firearm, would you need to see evidence that the defendant had possessed a firearm?"
My response was "If no firearm is entered into evidence, it would be much harder to convince me that the defendant had the means to commit the crime that he is accused of"
Suppose I offer a copyrighted recording for download and people in fact do download it. The way this file sharing software works, the people that download it by default are then also offering for download.
Unless you are claiming that nobody else can also be held accountable for illegally distributing the same songs in question, then you must conclude that if the key number in question is valid then at least 22,500 other people can also be held responsible for the very same songs distribution on file sharing networks by the very same courts.
Under this scenario where 22,500 people can all be held accountable, each for 22,500 downloads.. we are now talking about 506 million downloads being claimed..
Are you suggesting that 506 million downloads isn't hard to believe?
It is obvious that either the 22,500 figure is bullshit, or the system is set up to punish one individual for the crimes of up to 22,500 other people....
VC6 (and even VB6) spit out data consumed by Microsofts stage-2 compiler (C2.exe)
Although I dont think such a thing exists yet, C3 could indicate another stage. Compiler research has been an ongoing thing at Microsoft, and the in-development Phoenix Framework continues to use a stage-2 compiler (still named c2.exe)
I believe the stage-2 compiler directly consumes abstract syntax tree's, performs optimizations (constant folding, etc..), generates 3AC intermediate code and performs more optimizations (peephole) and then (of course) generates object code.
I don't understand why Google and Apple don't just sit down and agree to let each other use all their patents.
..because such a deal wouldnt apply to manufacturers of Android or iOS devices other than specifically Google and Apple. Such a deal doesnt help the HTC's of the world.
You do understand this stuff, right?..well... perhaps now.
First, Google *is* paying Microsoft licensing for various things in their Android phones. However, this transaction only applies to the Android phones made by Google. They do not apply to the Android Phones made by others.
Google knew there was patent issues and they actually resolved them BY LICENSING THE VARIOUS PATENTS.
The evil part is that even though Google knew there were patent issues, they invited every other manufacturer to go ahead and just use the OS without getting their own licenses. Google fucked everyone.
I think some Democrats actually believe they're taking away our liberty for our own good. That makes them every bit as dangerous
No, it makes them more dangerous. A corporation may turns its sights away from us towards greener pastures, but someone that believes that they are "helping" us.. they will never turn their sights away. Its the worst possible evil.
Passmark is measuring real systems, mainly as assembled and delivered by companies like Dell, to Joe Public who then runs PassMark.
You can make excuses all you want for why you would rather believe the obviously less realistic benchmarks of the tech sites, but they are still just excuses.
While you think I need to get over myself.. you need to get over the obvious flaws in the "information" delivery framework that you have been listening to.
You claim that I am listening to one source, when in fact...
...for benchmarks of the i7-2600K I am listening to 4257 sources (869 benchmarks of this CPU in the past 30 days alone.) ...for benchmarks of the i5-2500K I am listening to 2882 sources. ...for benchmarks of the i5-2400 I am listening to 692 sources.
This is crowd benchmarking. I am not listening to one source. I am listening to a crowd of sources.
With their software I can even narrow things down to specific motherboards, or specific memory chips. Compare memory bandwidth of various setups (actual results of many people).. or single threaded integer performance.. or multi-threaded simd.. etc...
The lack of ability to perform a controlled experiment doesn't make it any less of a science or the knowledge gained any less true.
You can sell me on the idea that its still science, but you absolutely cannot sell me on the idea that it isnt less of a science than the sciences where we can run controlled, repeatable, experiments.
Willfully ignoring the fact that there are material differences is irrational.
Thats all well and good... as long as you ignore the fact that Intel only has two chips in the top-20, (#5 and #20) and neither of them are SandyBridge chips.
Every single time you find a benchmark which significantly disagrees with the large sample set taken by PassMark on cpubenchmark.net, you have found a benchmark that is complete bullshit. Now that you know that techreport puts out bullshit benchmarks.. will you ever attempt to cite them again?
My guess is that yes, you will.. as long as techreport continues to favor Intel... you will blindly swallow their shit.
First off, I disagree with your assertion that New York public sector pensions are fully funded. The state uses its own actuarial standards to make this determination, while if private sector standards were used there is a $120 billion dollar shortfall.
The problem with the system is that the various government entities are allowed to negotiate far-in-the-future terms in union contracts. This has allowed them to buy union votes with money from the future. Money from the future has no limits, and no representation (future tax payers that are still too young to vote, not born yet, etc), so there has been literally no limit to the vote buying.
I propose a simple rule for public sector workers: Both the offering and the accepting of future benefits should be illegal and criminally punishable. All compensation for this years work should be paid for this year, by this years tax payers. Period.
Alongside 3, they had NT 3, which was the 32-bit equivalent of Windows 3.
You obviously dont know what you are talking about. NT was a completely different architecture to the WIN16 and WIN32 architectures. NT was in fact the in-development NT OS/2 3.0, the server branch of OS/2 that Microsoft walked away with when their deal with IBM fractured. IBM walked away with the in-development OS/2 2.0 which was the workstation version of the OS. IBM took the workstation version because IBM only saw OS/2 as a means to sell hardware (such as the PS/2 workstations it was named after)
NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 are all derivatives of NT OS/2 3.0. The only linking feature between the NT line and the 1/2/3/95/98/ME lines of OS's is that the NT line evolved to contain an emulation of the other lines kernel.
Have you budgeted for the lawsuits for when your cars steering locks up and wipes out a group of children and the jury finds you responsible in spite of your protests to the contrary?
This sort of thing is an unknown unknown. You can't budget for every possibility.
It is my understanding that elsewhere in the world, hearing aids can be had for under $100. If the companies in the U.S can get $8000 for them from the tax payers, then they only need to sell 1/80th as much for the same profits, and thats not counting the cost savings of significantly less wholesale/retail infrastructure.
The question is, why is the VA (and other forms of insurance where it is covered) breaking the free market with a ridiculous willingness to spend outrageous sums for hearing aids?
The cheapest i3 chip is $100 and is 73W. The 35W chips are $135. You still dont have a motherboard.
That was an E-350 + Motherboard for $90. Thats also passive cooling (silent) on this 18W combo. Are any of the i3's capable of running on passive?
If you cant find emulator performance reviews for the E-350, look for people running the emulators on old 3.73ghz P4 boxes, because the E-350 is a bit faster than those.
Google gets to sit out and reap the benefits of the auditing investment of the others?
So we add Google to the list...
One of the problems I see is that some of these folks have large varied reliance on these CA's (Microsoft, Apple, Google) while the others (Mozilla, Opera) only do browsers. It is far more difficult for Microsoft, Google, and Apple to start denying CA's for not "cooperating" because it directly effects their users (of their OS's) in difficult to swallow ways (software, drivers, and other shit are signed by these certs.)
Oh wow... when faced with figures that do not allow you to continue to believe the thing you decided upon without any research... you data dredged the web and found figures that give you an "escape" and you continue to believe what you believed before you had any data...
....even though you are already faced with hard data that disprove that preconceived fanboy notion of yours...

The catch is that Intel hires anyone with good ideas, and so instead of the university getting the patent, Intel does.

I'll raise your "single sample" techreport FUD about the A8-3850 and go all-in with 122 samples (and counting) for the A8-3850, from real users, using real systems, that they really purchased, from real retailers....

AMD made 80387's as well as their popular 40mhz 80386
First off, I disagree with your assertion that New York public sector pensions are fully funded. The state uses its own actuarial standards to make this determination, while if private sector standards were used there is a $120 billion dollar shortfall.
The United States taxpayers have a $3 trillion unfunded pension liability for aging, unionized, public sector workers.
The problem with the system is that the various government entities are allowed to negotiate far-in-the-future terms in union contracts. This has allowed them to buy union votes with money from the future. Money from the future has no limits, and no representation (future tax payers that are still too young to vote, not born yet, etc), so there has been literally no limit to the vote buying.

August had me weeping
When taco announced the he'd be leaving
Bad news on the front page
Geeks left in fits of nerd rage
I cant remember if I cried
The day this site would no longer provide
But something touched me deep inside
the day... slashdot died.

The i3 H.264 decoder is definitely superior. Thats the one thing Intel did right with its GPU!
The cheapest i3 chip is $100 and is 73W. The 35W chips are $135. You still dont have a motherboard.
That was an E-350 + Motherboard for $90. Thats also passive cooling (silent) on this 18W combo. Are any of the i3's capable of running on passive?

Intel literally has nothing in this class.

E-350's have decent graphics capabilities and you can pick up CPU+MOBO combo's for a very nice price
and then a CASE+PSU combo's for
The bare-bones system will thus cost as little as $130, and will kick the snot out of Atom solutions.
