USB is a client-server thing, while Firewire is peer to peer.
Meaning (by their design specs / without manufacturer modifications) one can hook up a digital camera directly to a printer with firewire, while with USB one has to use a PC to interface between the camera & printer.
However [b](from what I understand)[/b] manufacturers have brought out their own extensions to USB, meanings sometimes you can do this peer to peer stuff with USB, but only if (using the above example) the printer & camera are both made by the same firm.
There's thousands apon thousands of products out their using IC designs that are over 10 years old.
Just look at the average quartz watch, if it's a cheap one without EOL 'n ASS, odds on the IC inside is one that's been in production without modification for about 15 or 20 years or something.
Gez there's new products in the embedded scene being made for bloody old 386s & Winchips, etc. Remember when a manufacturer stops making ICs, they're useally so cheap by then that they make a few million extra to cover future demand (bit like auto-parts), which explains the new 386s in moulded plastic hang-display packaging being sold in the components section of stores like Jaycar for less than $10 (just for hobbyists, etc using them in embedded applications, etc)
Also just because a firm like IBM & NEC decide to stop making a IC, in the name of a new design designed for newer standards, there's absolutelly no guarantee that their subcontrators running the production line in 3rd world countries will stop churning out that older design.
My brother has a South-East Asian wife, a large employer near where she grew up made Reebok shoes under contract for Reebok. Well one day that factory lost the contract to make those shoes to some factory in China or something, but it didn't stop that factory from churning out those shoes, which they're still churning out today, & just selling them to who-ever wants to buy them. Which explains why in Asia & elseware you can buy brand new Reeboks from the markets for sweet fuck all, even though they're designs that Reebok ceased making years ago. Of course there's counterfit ones, but these are made in the same factory as the originals.
From what I understand trade secrets become public domain once the secret is exposed, the method of exposure not being relivent.
So does that mean that the part of the windows source that was leaked/published on the web is now public domain which anyone can use???
Incidently if hypothetically SCO is sueing IBM for using some of the Unix source in their Linux development, wouldn't that mean those pieces of code are now public domain as their trade secret status has been broken? Meaning that code is now free to use by all, with SCO's only recourse being to sue IBM for the loss of that code to the public domain, due to them breaking the conditions of their Unix license by (hypothetically) compromising the trade secret status of the source code.
Now if that's (hypothetically) the case, how can SCO justify the demand that those using Linux should buy licenses from them?
Or was the Unix source published & copyrighted, rather than held as a trade secret? As I understand it IP can either be held as a trade secreted or patented/copyrighted, but can't be both - IE it's either one or the other.
designed as a backup & hopefully just shelved away.............well unless AMD's Hammer developed mommentum
Many years ago AMD managed to get a license to Intel's patents, however it was a cross license agreement, meaning Intel can make X86-64 CPUs.
This seems to suggest that maybe Intel's Yamhill is a clone of AMD'S Hammer. Now whether it's a straight clone, IE electrically compatible as in chipset/socket compatible (like the Cyrix 686 & the P5 or dare I say the old AMD 486s & the Intel 486s), is another question altogether.
Fact is the average suicide bombing in Israel kills more legitimate targets relative to innocent victims than the average allied bombing in WWII did.
Look at that one the other day, IDF soldiers made up 100% of the fatalities. Or look at those bus rammings by IJ, both those buses were full of soldiers.
One just has tp peruse the Israeli Ministry of foreign Affairs website to see that the Western allies were a lot more indiscriminate than Hamas, IJ or the AAM:-
Of course there were bombings where only 1 or 2 of the fatalities were legimate targets, like this one, where one 1 (out of the 10 dead) was a legitmate target but even so, odds on Britain's 'thousand bomber' raids over Germany & the US incendary & nuclear raids on Japan, still had a much larger collateral damage to legitimate target rate (& that's not even taking into account the high rate of reservists in Israel)
Like polies running law 'n order auctions every election year.
The US just wants to export it's fear based culture to the rest of the world.
Fact is the likelyhood of being a victim of terrorism post 9-11 is just infinitesimal as it was pre 9-11. You work it out, starting from the fact there's over 6 billion bloody people in the world.
Its so simple, has no loophopes & is litigation proof. Just set the legislation simply & too the point, meaning if IBM forgot to register ibm.net they'd have no choice but to buy it off the Joe Bloggs who beat them to the domain name.
Now if Joe Bloggs took advantage of his ibm.net website, so what, that's what capitalism is all out.
Remember trademark & copyright laws predate the web, meaning there's nothing in those laws that guarantee relivent domain names to IP holders, meaning Domain name law should be 'bugger them it's 1st come 1st served'.
Everyone knows that Taiwanese companies make notebooks for big companies like IBM, Compaq, Dell and HP. But which company makes what? Here's the OEM list, courtesy of a Taiwanese wire. Quanta makes Gateway, Dell, IBM, Apple and Siemens products. Acer makes IBM and Hitachi products. Inventec makes Compaq notebooks. Compal makes Dell and HP notebooks. Arima makes Compaq notebooks. Twinhead manufactures for HP and Winbook. Clevo makes Hitachi notebooks. Mitac manufactures for Sharp. GVC manufactures for Siemens, Micron, Apple and Packard Bell. And FIC manufactures for NEC and Packard Bell. (R) According to the survey, total notebook from the small (240 miles long) island amounted to 5,420,000 in 1998. (R)
Incidently sometimes these Taiwanese Laptop makers will release the same models that they make under commission for the big makers, but with generic branding. These can be much cheaper. Sometimes, when the big retailers designed the laptop, the contract manufacturers are barred from making excess numbers to sell under their own generic brands, but it still has be known to happen too.
Nothing wrong with either but but I'd assume they'd go for a faster beat 25 jewel ETA 2824 or 2892 (which is also 21 jewels but watches with this movt useally retail for a lot more than US$150, even though wholesale the movt is a lot cheaper than what people think)
Like maybe the Beagle was made by British Leyland & just can't cope with wet weather unless a rubber glove is tied arround it's dizzy, I mean its electronics, & it rained on launch day.
The one recieving pays nothing, simple aye. If I ring someone from my phone, mobile or traditional, I pay, but if someone rings dials up either my landline or my mobile, they pay.
What is it the way those bloody Yanks have to complicate things that can be done so simply elseware - look at their bloody voting machine mess, when most of the planet copes fine with just 'tick the box' paper ballots.
Look at the way they watch LOTR, use terms like Duke, Earl & Leroy as given names, & the way they're celebs will title themselves - 'the King of Pop' for instance.
How could he be a Knight of the British Empire? There was no British Empire in those days, let alone a United Kingdom of Great Britain. The countries of England & Scotland were still seperation nations back then
Incidently AFAIC Queen Elisebeth II, should really only be referred to as the QEII of England - seeing as there was no previous QE of Great Britain, Scotland, Canada or Oz, she really should be referred to simply as QEI of those places (afterall James VI of Scotland is James I of England, so lets be consistemt with that precendent)
There's nothing in a knighthood that says Americans can't use the title Sir.
Now just because some seem to think the US govt disapproves means nothing - I bet there's no US govts (fed, state or local) which would really give a fuck if some US citizen with a title started referring to himself as Sir.
One must ask WTF for, it's not as if anyone would notice any differrance while actually doing something else on the computer, other than overclocking per say

....I made a BeOS CD which has a bootable ISO partition & a live BFS partition that the installer clones onto a menu chosen HDD partition.
I forgot what I did on Nero as I simply just mindlessly followed the intructions on some website. Actually I think I copy 'n pasted some script.

Meron junction, 4-8-2, 3 out of 9 dead were soldiers
Karkur junction, 21-10-2, 8 out 14 dead are soldiers
Tzrifin roadstop, 9-9-3, all 9 dead were soldiers
Of course there were bombings where only 1 or 2 of the fatalities were legimate targets, like this one, where one 1 (out of the 10 dead) was a legitmate target but even so, odds on Britain's 'thousand bomber' raids over Germany & the US incendary & nuclear raids on Japan, still had a much larger collateral damage to legitimate target rate (& that's not even taking into account the high rate of reservists in Israel)
Meaning such scenarias arn't much of a problem in reality.

1st come 1st served is so simple & litigation negating that common sense dictates it's the way to go.
Lets be honest if corporations don't get their relivent domain names ASAP they really don't deserve to own them
Maybe it was too simple & negated the need for lawyers, instead they bring in this IP based mess & lawyers have a field day.

Sounds like a Seiko 7S26 or ETA 2846
Nothing wrong with either but but I'd assume they'd go for a faster beat 25 jewel ETA 2824 or 2892 (which is also 21 jewels but watches with this movt useally retail for a lot more than US$150, even though wholesale the movt is a lot cheaper than what people think)

The Itanium is some sort of 64bit VLIW processor with it's own instruction set that can also emulate X86-32 & PA-RISC or something.
X86-64 is what AMD's Hammer series processors (claw, sledge, etc) use.
Intel's rumoured 'Yamhill' is s'pose to be their X86-64 Hammer clone, that's what this thread's about.
I can recieve calls on my mobile while on holidays on the otherside of the continent & it still costs nothing (well nothing above the monthly charge)
The one recieving pays nothing, simple aye. If I ring someone from my phone, mobile or traditional, I pay, but if someone rings dials up either my landline or my mobile, they pay.

That work like the vents on the roofs of houses & some vans, but are hell of a lot more taller, relative to width
