1991-1992 ish. I had a 486DX2 @ 50mhz with 8 megs of ram and a 405 meg hard drive in early 1993, and it was pro-star. (That didn't stop me from overclocking it to a whopping 66mhz though)..
By the terms of the lawsuit described in that article, AMD cannot clone intel chips. They can (and do), however, implement intel patents, the latest I can think of being SSE2 instructions in their athlon-XP processor. They renewed their cross-licensing agreement in 2001 for ten years, and it cannot be broken without mutual consent.
Intel and AMD have, and have had for many years, full cross licensing agreements. AMD could use MMX, SSE, and SSE2 from intel's original implementation, and Intel can use x86-64 directly from AMD's reference implementation. Similarly, Intel could use 3dnow instructions in their processors, but they simply haven't exercised that option.
These companies been `not reinventing the wheel` for quite a while not.
Freenet is and always has been fully decentralized; its impossible to tell which data in your node was requested by you and which data was requested by other nodes and just passed through you.
There's a phenomenon in social psychology called the bystander effect. Don't depend on anyone to help you in a dire situation, especially if in a crowd.
eehh.. its kind of complicated. Strictly, no one cares about castes, but a lot of familial and community relations are centred around caste groups. Its kind of how an italian from brooklyn might go to an italian tailor and an italian bakery and an italian banker, in preference to ones owned by someone else. The caste system only applies to indians in that way, so outsiders aren't considered casteless, they're just considered outsiders.
In the technically minded (geeks), no one cares about caste. Depending on the liberality of your family, they might be concerned if you want to, like, marry out of the caste (In my family, they'd be more concerned about marrying someone with an incompatible astrological sign than out-caste).
Quite honestly, when it comes to india, you can't equate average standard of living with the standard of living enjoyed by gainfully employed professionals.
People can live a quite lavish lifestyle by american standards, send their children to excellent schools, and enjoy all the benefits of western civilization without leaving behind their culture. Many do.
Unlikely. Over there, the western obsession with looks versus intelligence (used loosely, indian education tends to emphasize rote learning rather than problem solving ability) is seen as somewhat amusing. Its culturally ingrained to respect and admire academic achievement. Hell, ask any american kids of indian parents, its how they're brought up, too.
New industry, same old arguments. Steelworkers said it, Detroit Auto said it, and now Techies are saying it.
Fact of the matter is, America isn't very good at keeping whats home-grown at home. It is good at pioneering new industries, however. The only difference is that IT has moved so fast that there hasn't been the generational drop like there was in past transitions; young qualified professionals are out of work, and they get airtime. No one wants to hear from old steel millers.
The solution isn't to be protectionist. The solution is to create something new. That's what America does.
Any technical high school or university will be taught near entirely in english, as well as professional degrees such as law, medicine, etc. Both my parents did undergrad science in india and were taught exclusively in english.
So I'm guessing they aren't targetting the educated.
Seen the dilbert where they're complaining about being paid less than the janitor, then the janitor walks by after having plunged a large animal from the bathroom? Some things we're willing to pay people for to not have to deal with ourselves. Waste disposal unit emergencies is one of them.
I wondered why timmy's coffee tastes so good. I grew up on chicory infused coffee. My mum used to get shipments of cafe du monde coffee w/chicory every week.. You used to be able to get smaller packets.

Ogg Ogg.

I've heard good things about servermatrix from a lot of ex-rackshack users. YMMV, of course. Read the webhostingtalk forums.
Been using opera from version 3.62, and I've never had login problems with slashdot...

This is a long standing agreement, dating from 1976.

the bystanders were sitting in their apartments and watching from balconies. home phones were commonplace in 1964.
Yes, because the 38 people who watched kitty genovese get attacked and murdered went straight to help her.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather debug forty year old fortran than plunge mammals from a forty year old sewer system.
30 cents for ISD calls? On a mobile? That's ridiculous, I pay more than that from the USA to india! Thanks for the tip :)

Vhere are the nuclear wessels?
In all honesty, that's extremely literate compared with some of the southern USA patterns of speech I've had to deal with in the past.
Good god, you're lucky. Tirumala is one of the most beautiful places on this earth.

People who don't believe in cross-caste interaction will *not* be working in IT.
Well, that is actually the reason my dad bought a gateway in 1993. 486DX2, 50mhz, and cow decals. Silly parents.
What company is that with? I'll be out there this summer, and microcell roaming is ~$1.29/min.
