Security through obscurity will always haunt microsoft. Obsuruity is obviously the only security they have. That is why they want to shut down bugtraq. Perpetual critical security updates are their only defence against people who uncover flaws in their operating systems. By nature of the way they operate, the crackers will always win. They will not post an update untill an exploit is found and used. The damage having already been done, they use a band-aid.
The P4 is just Intel and Microsoft's attempt to re-consolidate their shared desktop monopoly. P4 with Netburst is the perfect processor for Microsoft.net. As long as all your data and all your processing takes place at a remote server, All you need is a dumb terminal. P4 is a dumb terminal. But they have perfect marketspeak to fit tounge in groove with microsoft. I'll even wager that microsoft jerked the x-box processor away from AMD last minute just to cuase Them that much more heartache in poor decisions based on false information.
I played starmaze on my apple ][e every day for 17 years and never got tired of it. I never beat it. I doubt anyone ever has. I can honestly say I am the best starmaze player ever. No one could have possibly put as much time into ANY computer game as I put into starmaze. Somewhere out there is a programmer by the name of Gordon Eastman. I salute him for creating such a brilliant game.
After a little reaserch and the initial help of tak amalak here is a little cost analasis. Assumeing a dual channel DDR Quadrupled the price of the motherboard because of additional layers/traces and assumeing you needed at least 512 mb of memeory, a dual channel DDR setup would still be cheaper than a dual channel RDRAM.

This may better explain to you what I was trying to say. Basically any country with a GNP per capita less than US $500.00 has people starving to death in it. So... do some math. 20 billion dollars would buy a million people food for their entire lives. Good 'ol Bill could solve world hunger all by himself. A million deaths per year are on his head for every 20 billion dollars he has. That is potentially 5,000,000 people a year. He knows it too. His 3 billion-dollar charity work (which did not start until the feds started grumbling about trust busting) is working on the problem from the other side. He is attempting to get the whole planet to use birth control. A Corporation has no morality except acquiring dollars. Never defend corporate power. It means you are a sucker and believe their propaganda or you have no morality yourself. Either way your defense of the acquisition of dollars has belittled you. Think before posting next time.

1,000,000 people have not died because these people are jealously guarding their intellectual property. 1,000,000 people have died because they live in nations unfriendly to the US and politics prevents us from sending aid. 1,000,000 have died because Logistics both to the countries they are in and within the countries themselves is poor. 1,000,000 people have died because they are fighting with each other preventing aid from being delivered. 1,000,000 people have died because the bureaucracies of aid organizations suck up 90% of the donations they get for administrative costs. 1,000,000 people have died because charitable donations have dropped from an average of 10% of earned income to less than three percent because you can't give when two parents are working and still not paying the bills and putting food on their own table. Here are my thoughts why:
Credit Cards If you make the minimum payment you pay twice as much for everything you buy. This puts the average middle class household below the poverty line all by itself. $50,000 provides only $25,000 in buying power when you use credit cards. Visa/Mastercard is a TRUST. Needless to say, like Microsoft, they are not looking out for your best interests.
Insurance When the government mandates that money must leave your pocket that is called a TAX. Since low income/bad neighborhood/poor driving records pay much high rates for a given value of car, Insurance is a tax inversely proportional to income. When was the last time you had representation in the insurance company?
Money Buys Government Corporations have won every election and ballot measure for the last 25 years. Is it any wonder we have corporate welfare and lesser of two evils choices for candidates. As long as corporations control the government, YOU DON'T
Dollars = Lives The US gross national product per capita is $31,746 SO, if you work from age 18 to 65 on average you will produce about 1.5 million dollars in a lifetime. Therefore the average US life is worth 1.5 million dollars. When someone accumulates vast wealth they are in fact harnessing the output of other people for their own gain. 100 billion dollars is 66,000 lives. The creation of 100 billion dollars requires 66,000 people to born, work their entire lives and die. Despite Bill being a nice guy and donating 3 billion to charity (there is that less than 3% again) He is personally responsible for 66,000 deaths. Take these figure out across the NYSE and NASDAQ and you will have Billions of people dying To benefit a select few.
You may not buy all my arguments but as you can see 1,000,000 people dying because of one patent is ludicrous. For those of you who are part of the system that destroys lives, saying "that's just the way it is" is not an excuse. "I was just following orders"
just do a google or pricewatch search for them... not exactly ubiqitous but not 1.13Ghz vaporware either. A month after the 1.13 launch a total recall affected less than 200 users..
I know I am not the only one who can see that when all your applications are being run on a remote server you do not need a powerful processor. You just need a good marketing campaign. A year from now the P4 will be smoking along at 2-3Ghz while the better processor, Athalon (Palamino version), will be at 2 Ghz. Intel will say "We have the fastest processor and the best for Microsoft.Net". Running applications from a server optimally would require huge bandwidth but a poor FPU. That describes the P4 perfectly I believe. Read Red Herring's take on P2P and Intel.. Welcome to "Wintel" reconsolidating their shared monopoly.
I wonder if the vast FCPGA north bridge is really a PIII clocked at 400mhz? It would certainly require a flexible chip to perform I/O functions for a P4 if their previous north bridge chip had trouble. In any case even if the north bridge is not a P!!! it is still manufactured on the same process I assume cutting into P!!! production. Combined with the vast P4 die size, I am guessing if this is anything more than a paper release it will break Intel.
Fact is in the light of competition Intel has turned out to be a bunch idiots who were riding a monopoly gravy train whose only answer to competition is to crash the market so they are not the only ones loosing fscking shareholder value. Intel's business plan does not allow them to be profitable in the face of competition. come on, open your eyes man. If what you see scares you then don't bust me about it.
any one know the the boiling point of water at 160000 feet? less than body temp I imagine... can you imagine your tears boiling off the surface of your eyes? mucous boiling in your lungs? crap just flying out of you and boiling... at body temperature. She could leave a verticle contrail of her body fluids boiled out of her body and frozen into ice crystals in the stratosphere. beats the hell out of smoke cans most skydivers use. she will get a first hand lesson in freeze drying. Low pressure, Low temperature, High speed impact with the ground. Her brittle freeze dried corpse will shatter like glass when it hits the ground.
no, no, no. Intel Optimized Software is not compatible with AMD's processors. Welcome to the real world where Intel, in order to preserve it's monopoly power, provides kickbacks to, or outright buys any compilers that support SSE over 3Dnow! Even the Linux community is folding to this insideous giant. Used bordland lately? The amazing part is, Intel is a bell weather stock and they are actually willing to crash the whole market to not look like they made a poor decision in reguards to Rambus. Intel: "the market is softening" BULL$HIT The fact is AMD has gone from a 10% market share to 40%. The market is not softening. Intel is softening. But those four words from Intel cut everyones stock value across the board. Fact is in the light of competition Intel has turned out to be a bunch idiots riding a monopoly gravy train whose only answer to competition is to crash the market so they are not the only ones loosing fscking shareholder value.
John C. Dvorak is a frequent columnist for various ziff-davis publications, recently purchased by c|net, which is wholey owned by Intel. Why the hell can't there be any news that is unbiased? What happened to honorable journalism?/. crew, who owns you? If/. is not just another corperate media puppet then for god sakes act like it!
This is a truly good day. I have always appreciated your grammar comments but I am now glad to know you have some skill with real content as opposed to just delivery/constructive criticism. I have questions though.
Is there any truth to the rumor that the Russian Typhoon class submarine uses a 6 inch thick Ti hull welded in only 6 passes, something western technology would require 140+ passes to weld?
Would Ti be a good candidate for reinforcement wire in reinforced concrete structure due to its corrosion resistance?
Has there been any research into titanium as an element of composites comparable with say, Tungsten/Boron wires in an epoxy matrix?
Finally, Can the process used to make Ti cheaper be applied to Beryllium?
what is the difference between "the rock will be moving 180,000 km/sec" and a regular asteroid hitting earth? remember your rock will require aero-brakeing. "Today, Nasa, while attemting to aero-brake a meteor the size of Mount Rushmore, destroyed Silicon Vally" ok, never mind.. good a target as any.
didja know the NSA's buget (from what can be guessed by looking at "black money") is TWICE as large as Nasa's? No wonder they have a fab. It is a wonder that they don't have moonraker too:)

Assumeing a dual channel DDR Quadrupled the price of the motherboard because of additional layers/traces and assumeing you needed at least 512 mb of memeory, a dual channel DDR setup would still be cheaper than a dual channel RDRAM.
Abit KT7raid @ $150 * 4 = $600 ($600motherboard?!?!)
512mb PC2100 DDR ram $450
dual channel DDR total, $1050
P4 Dual channnel Rambus MB $200-$300
512mb Rambus Ram $900
Total Rambus setup: $1100-$1200
dual channel Rambus = 3.2 mb/s
dual channel DDR = 4.2 mb/s
conclusion: dual channel DDR for server (512mb+) apps is a superior and chearper solution.
A little late but you said you wanted to see 3DNow! optimized flask. 17.75 fps, 4 fps faster than the P4
