Does this mean that I will be able to work on a document for more than 3 hours without the application taking acception to the fact that I don't have 256MB of RAM for it to eat.
If anything I would like to see an office suite which doesn't insist on creating vastly over sized files even when they contain only plain text.
Good Luck to gnome
I too have seen the AMULET processor and in fact have a final year degree exam on the very fundamentals of the processor. The new version of the Amulet (3i) is currently awaiting fabrication from what I am aware. I have lectures from a number of the design team, including Steve Furber, and have seen working examples of the processor. I believe there is also an ARM9 which is available with the asynchronous multiplyer from the AMULET processor. This allows the processor to be optimised and use less power. There are a number of aims surrounding the AMULET, mainly in low power, low EMC and actually proving that you can use asynchronous technology in real worlds applications. For anyone who doubts the use of this technology it has incredible potential. I think its best feature is that ability to enter and idle state where no power is consumed. Anyone wanting to use one of these processors should do a degree at Manchester!
The article says that demon payed out £200,000 in damages. This figure is miss leading from what i've heard about the case. The person in question only received about 2000 pounds and the rest was for legal costs of pushing such a landmark case. I own a small ISP in the uk (http://www.jaywalk.co.uk), but we would never remove content(other than that outsite T&C) unless the person who originally posted it gave their permission. If we are going to have to police all content on the web, then many ISP's are going to find themselves in deep legal water
I can understand some peoples concern for the new cyrix chip. I've had on running in my dial-up gateway for a while now. Although they may not give such good performance as and Intel they are designed using modern design methods. Intel are still designing around a 20+ year old core.
