Are modularity and performance mutually exclusive? All modularity is lost during compilation and linking. So, 10000 tiny functions <operator type="logic">OR</operator> one gi-fucking-normous main(), with any half-descent optimizing compiler, should yield the same binary, all else equal.
Don't forget Jazele mode. Considering JVM IR's code density, Java will probably be the most responsive thing on the netbook, when considering RAM/sys_bus constraints. Java - snappy? I have to cut down on the weed...:P
There is metric butt-ton of 8+ y.o. ThinkPads that want to talk to you, bub. Also, people don't (usually) buy computers to make a supercomputer, host a high load server. They just want to do basic computing stuff with excellent/good responsiveness + some gaming. When you (the average user) go Mac, you get crap graphics relative to the rest of the machine, and if you go low end, you might as well get a netbook, at least you'll get a battery and screen for a similar price. If you go high end, then you are doing the equivalent of burning natural diamonds to boil the water for your tea. Either way, it sucks. I'm not saying Macs don't have a place in the marketplace, but they are given way too much credit.
X86_64 is entirely different from x86. It might as well be SPARC. The only thing is, that it is usually built in CPUs that also support x86 at native speed.Thing is, it has to run in another thread. That's why you can't run 32-bit drives in 64 bit Windows. PS: You fucked up the math in your sig, 1 = -1 <==> 2 = 0 XD
I got through pretty much to the level of the 15 y.o. at age 9, via an appropriately placed (by my parents) book on the subject. And I didn't have any technical interest in it (up until puberty), more theoretically, like pretty much any other interest I've had in my life. And I don't think I'm that unique that only I can handle it, kids never get the credit they deserve. BTW, aaaa... It's kinda weird doing this, but... would you mind sharing a couple of those tips? I have zero experience, and no idea of the finer points. At 16 and still a virgin, I sincerely doubt I'll be getting lucky any time soon, but I prefer to be prepared in case Satan puts on a winter jacket, and a girl actually consents to a more serious relationship ( [having sex] != [making love] ). Yours sincerely, and high on weed, YAGuyWithAsperger.
And I want to cuddle up with Avril Lavigne, and open up the code base to all MS products, and abolish software patents with a flick of my finger, but none of that's gonna happen.

What problem do you have with us, exactly?

HP killed the Alpha, FFS. Mickeysoft is just giving them some headroom, you think, they ain't on a leash?
Creative Commons licensing, anyone?

Virtualization != Emulation.

Though this might be relevant somehow:
OpenGraphics
All my programs are in two lines (hashbang included), you insensitive clod!
Who is the stupid git that modded the parent down?
Finally, a use for user pages!
@GPP: I'm a stoner you insensitive clod!
The answer: There is no reason to exempt them. Right on, brother!
And this is why we need wiki software with a git-backend.
Hardware anything - slower than software?
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

This is precisely why I prefer stack machines. Built-in recursion basics.

Not if the compiler is formally proven as well.
