This slot madness is really getting to me... Can't somebody take a pair of (overclocked to full HDMI speed?) DisplayPort ins, and another pair of outs, bind them, and use that as a RAM-disk? That's 2,7 GB/s right there. Or maybe offer RAM in the form of PCIe/Hypertransport cards, instead of inflexible, non-reusable *IMM slots.
No, it won't. DDR3 doubles speed in exchange for doubling latency. There is only so much the GPU can take in any given moment, but it will be useless if it has to wait to get its data. Also, graphics RAM is usually embedded in the card for the sake of optimization. All that goes through the window when using slotted RAM. You might as well put a generic GPU socket (Hypertransport?) on the motherboard, and call it a day.
Hallelujah! And I though I was the only one who was wondering where everybody's mind was at when they suggested an Apple-Sun merger. Corporate culture at Google is much closer.
Much more interesting - in their tries to secure the client side in their Server-Terminal wet dream,
IBM will decide that M$ is to wobbly in the long term, and Appl€ are too much into user experience control,
so they are gonna battle for FOSS on the desktop for a lack of a technically better solution,
beginning with the open sourcing of all Lighthouse Design projects in the Sun morgue.
Open Photoshop replacement, here we come! *drools*
Advanced plug-in system? Can't somebody tweak Firebug and Vimperator, throw in HTTP support in git, and call it a day? I know FF isn't by far the snappiest, but at least it's not running in a JVM (I think...;) Maybe port the whole lot to Greasemonkey for cross-browser availability.
<flamebait>Thing is, the arguments you supplied are invalid in the context of global warming. Hell, nobody proved in a reasonable way (no, War-On_Drugs-esque arguments don't count) that it has to do with any gas concentrations in the atmosphere, let alone pin it on the meager contributions of humanity. So just shut up, you are making yourself look more an idiot than you probably are. </flamebait>
I am a teenager recently diagnosed with ADHD, you insensitive clod!
Seriously, what's up with mocking psychiatric disorders? Sure, there are hypochondriacs, but quit screwing with the rest of us, mmmmkay? I took enough of that for being too smart 1 through 4-th grade, and I don't need any more. Sometimes I start to wonder whether I need the drugs (which are all-so-helpfully unavailable in my country) for my condition (not being able to do a basic math homework with no conscious procrastination within 1 and a half hours counts as a condition in my book), or against general depression from all these idiots around existing. Sorry about the OT rant, I couldn't help myself.
I had to suffer four years of primary school education before my parents realized I can't handle it. Then I went to a small private school, and pretty much found my place, still considering people jackasses by default, but with consideration that some aren't. Thing is, I had no way to handle them. In any moment in my life. In my head, I am a brutal murderer, but when confronted with any violence, I pretty much paralyze with fear, even when I have the upper hand. And then puberty came... Needless to say, I as even more fucked up, feeling constantly lonely, but too afraid from the possible psychological pain of rejection, seen as I never had learned to handle it.
IOW, some of us can't mentally file anyone under "jackass" without being reduced to a paranoid, xenophobic, misanthropic coward in the process. Even less so in puberty.
My solution? Drugs. Lots. Anything you can get your hands on. I'm a thinker, I'm not capable of dealing with my emotions, or anybody else's emotions, nor am I obliged to do so. I'd rather not, so I opt for apathy and happiness, rather than bearing the weight of the world on my shoulders, which put me in this condition in the first place, as I was, although an ass since kindergarten, fair until it hurt, and then some. So, kids, just say "Yes.".
And bigger guns are the tools of those who have suffered too much peer abuse when young to even contemplate violence in any situation. What's your point?
Not safe? Cough syrup? Dude, unless it's hydrocodone in there, the only result will be that they will get high. Let me tell you, overdosing on codeine (even when combined with other sedatives) ain't by any measure easy. Also, the symptoms of a toxic dose are gonna show up long before death from respiratory depression comes along. Also, these are prescription drugs, so the only way a kid is gonna get them is through a parent, who is supposed to warn them about the risks. If they don't know, look it up, if they don't know where/how/etc, well, then the gene pool needs cleansing anyway.
Precisely my point. Also, I wanted compiled binaries to not have full copyright rights, so as to make them unprotected. Making protecting compiled works worthless, source only. I guess though I'm not such a good programmer, hanging out on slashdot has made me more precise and logical. Not to mention improved my spelling...
I think ReiserFS tried to do this, i.e. arbitrarily complex structures integrated transparently in the FS. IIRC, it was supposed to be able (is?) to do:
Slashdot Mirror
I've posted this elsewhere, but it seems appropriate:
[user@machine ~/]$ cat ./song.mp3 > /dev/dsp
As per envisioned by Hans T. Reiser. Rot in peace, my friend.

Which are gonna take less computing brunt to brute force than via this method.

Can't you use a redirectable air-scoop?
It's called a Sun layout for a reason, sonny...
Gahhh, use metric, damn it!

It's called streaming torrents. Try it sometime.

Where's this "HKEY_CURRENT_USER..." thing? /etc? /home/*? Can't find the damn thing in the damn man pages either. Oh, wait...

Bulgaria sound good? We're too stupid and disorganized to fix potholes, let alone spy on any part of the population in any meaningful way.
