  1. Re:Logically flawed on Flash Crash Analysis of May 6 Stock Market Plunge · · Score: 1

    Yea, more companies should do dividends as part of moving away from "shareholder value".

  2. Re:Not really. on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    In fact, there is already PCIe to PCI bridges.

  3. Re:I wasn't aware... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Yea, AMD kept PATA on their southbridge to this day, while Intel dropped it back in 2006 with ICH8. Why didn't that lead to a switch to AMD? BTW, interestingly, there are more recent Intel motherboards with ISA than AMD motherboards, wonder why?

  4. Re:On the HD front... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    You don't have to throw it away. SATA is backward compatible, you know.

  5. Re:While we're at it.... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    What is that double-hole?

  6. Re:max 8 PCIe 2.0 lanes? wow that is way to few! on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    PCIe of at least x16 is on the northbridge.

  7. Re:PCI DSS sucks anyways on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Surprised this was not modded funny by now.

  8. Re:Another "local bus" on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 2, Informative

    If it predates this distinction, it is by default a DX. This is true for both 386 and 486.

  9. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Well, on laptops they take space, which is why the floppy drive was dropped from laptops pretty early (by 2004 I think).

  10. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    And before you get worried, it is optional too.

  11. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    HDCP can be transmitted over DVI too.

  12. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that HDCP is independent and optional of HDMI/DVI.

  13. Re:Some of us still have PCI cards on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    For one thing, PCI is a parallel bus and take a lot of pins to route, which can be made internal, simplifying PCB design.

  14. Re:It was always a long shot for viacom on YouTube Granted Safe Harbor From Viacom · · Score: 1

    Personally I was wanting to see the filtering claims beat back, but I have seen the unsealed emails from YouTube's founders and indeed that was not what DMCA intended to allow.

  15. Re:And to think, if we just bought 68K machines on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    BTW, in fact NuBus even survived to the first Power Macs in 1994.

  16. Re:Eh... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Intel is shaving a few more pennies off the implementation cost

    And more importantly, PCI uses a lot of pins on the chipsets, as it is a parallel bus.

  17. Re:most on board chips use pci and pci-e waste lan on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, most pci-e x16 devices can technically run at only x1 if the physical slot arrangement allows.

  18. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yea, there is a reason why AUI and AAUI was created.

  19. Re:ok... on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 1

    Coreboot, for one. EFI could in theory ported to run on top of it.

  20. Nope, sorry on Firefox 3.6.4 Released With Out-of-Process Plugins · · Score: 4, Informative

    "And reader Trailrunner7 supplies another compelling reason to download 3.6.4: "Security researcher Michal Zalewski has identified a problem with the way Firefox handles links that are opened in a new browser window or tab, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary code into the new window or tab while still keeping a deceptive URL in the browser's address bar. The vulnerability, which Mozilla has fixed in version 3.6.4, has the effect of tricking users into thinking that they're visiting a legitimate site while instead sending arbitrary attacker-controlled code to their browsers.""

  21. Re:I See It Differently on Why Mobile Innovation Outpaces PC Innovation · · Score: 1

    I agree that two different 64-bit x86 variants would have been extremely silly.

  22. Re:Can already kill Flash in 3.6.3 on Firefox 3.6.4 Released With Out-of-Process Plugins · · Score: 5, Informative

    That is because you are using nspluginwrapper to wrap the 32-bit Flash plugin.

  23. Re:A lot of the waste is a matter of opportunity on Employee Monitoring · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, people do need something to do during the downtime
