Okay, stipulated. Regardless, it's the memory address space that allows for the speed improvement when working with large files, not new JMP routines. JMP routines? Actually, the extra register things is capable of optimizing out _many_, _many_ memory accesses... leaving the path clear for the SIMD instructions to fetch repeatedly only the data that your extended addressing is capable of. Imagine (simplifying a little) some transform being done to an image, that alters some data:
for( all pixels in the image ) { x1 = red(pixel); x2 = (x2 + x1 *2 + 3) % MAX; blue(pixel) = x2 }
if x1, x2 are put in registers then your transform will fetch only the pages where the pixel values are; if x2 is in memory, then _each_ fetch of a page where a pixel are is interleaved with one fetch and one write of the page where x2 is. This means that the operation becomes probably three to four times slower.
I'm still astounded that a Computer Science curriculum includes any in-depth teaching of a programming language. Does the physics curriculum include courses on car repair?
No, but it better have hours and hours teaching how to use the lab facilities. Yes, Computers are to Computer Science what Telescopes are to Astrophysics, but except for most hardcore Astrophysics, the guys better know very well how to use their telescopes.
1. what were the grammar mistakes I did? (english is not my first language) I really don't understand why the attacks, if I am only trying to help. 2. I used XP as an example. hdparm/sdparm also works on Linux, and I'm sure MacOSX has something like that also. 3. That one is a tough one to believe; have your friend tried to disable APM in the BIOS? This says it could be that.
Actually its in the pronunciation, Linux is Li-nux...not "Line-ux" or "Line-ex" as I've heard people say. Its because Linus was Finnish that the pronunciation came naturally to him, Finns speak with a somewhat clipped speech. Americans tend Drawl and drag more, making it unnatural for them. Linus is pronounced Lee - noos Linux is pronounced Lee - nooks
adding any CRIMINAL or CIVIL law for someone connecting to your UNENCRYPTED access point only encourages stupidity, lack of reponsibility and negligence. Not mentioning that they will have to prosecute every iPhone owner in the country (it automagically connects itself to any open wifi router in range from time to time by default)...
I've had to do IT work for tech companies before, and it's like being the caterer at a chef's convention, they always think they could do it better. That he's managed to do it with a relative degree of success at a place as eclectic and high profile as google is impressive. I think the approach is novel too, although I'm not sure how well it would apply outside of their unique company culture. The fact is: if you are the caterer at a chef's convention, probably (1) 80% of them would do it better than you and (2) the remaining 20% wouldn't, but they do think they would. So, all credit to him for making them cook their own meals, which was more intelligent anyway and less reputation-damaging.
Sorry for the subject line, but... if you have enough information to test it, then you have enough information to fake it (at least well enough to pass the test).
I will agree as soon as someone finds a way to build both a Flash and Silverlight application from the same source code, makes almost all websites provide both and the users can choose with a browser setting which one to use. Then the issue is at least close to comparable to Linux distros... Plug OpenLaszlo...
I detected a minor inconsistency in your post:
I'm living with my parents now (because they're getting old and they need someone younger around to help out) and we get along great, but when the inevitable occurs, even though I'll miss them, I'll be fine living by myself again (until I get old myself, I guess). is not really consistent with this:
Well, I've never had kids (except for a short span when I had a girlfriend living with me, and those were actually her kids, not mine), but that just means that I am doing my part to keep the human population on this planet down, plus I'm not in a financial sinkhole like many people who have kids. Yeah, but you won't also have someone to take care of you when you get old. Hope you are using your savings to buy a nice "best age" condo in Del Boca Vista, with a lot of redhead nurses to tend to your needs...:-)
I have one, too, and the only thing that I miss is a bigger keyboard (darn fat fingers!)... I use it at home at all times, and while my old laptop was a hassle to get from the bag (weight,...), the eeepc is a breeze.
I trust TrueCrypt a hell of a lot more than anything which comes preinstalled on these things. Funny thing is, Survivor comes with TrueCrypt preinstalled...:-)
or, to be clear: it spends more power, but during much less time, so the energy / byte ratio is lower than, for instance, EDGE. Most 3G phones I know don't load a page in the browser while you are reading another (the iPhone certainly don't), so, the battery would endure MORE if the iPhone was 3G.
60% of people buy pirated goods at least once a month. 33.6% of people spend less than $5 in pirated goods per month. 18% of people spend $5 to $15 in pirated goods per month. 8.4% of people spend more than $15 in pirated goods per month.

IThe only question I have for you is the following: You said you lived in an underdeveloped country. Is it illegal in your country to pirate US-made stuff? I Don't live in the US myself, so I sure as hell don't follow US laws. I follow my country's laws (which however, support copyrights), and thats it. If tomorrow the law says that copyright is null and void, I'll only buy videogames (because I'm a collector), but movies will all get pirated, and software will be free (and as a software developer, I'll change job!). I live in Brasil. We are signataries of the Geneva convention. We do have (somewhat strict) copyright laws, but no DMCA-like laws, nor software (and business-methods) patents.
Basically, you can go to jail (two to six years [*]) for copying and distributing in exchange for money copyrighted material, and you'll get more jail time if you are doing so in a big scale. People who buy bootleg movies on the street are not liable, but people who sell them are. People downloading torrents are in a gray zone (because they are uploading too), but no effort was made against them yet. People (and companies) who pirate software and get caught usually can pay a fine up to 1000 times the price of the software and avoid jail (it's usually settled for less). Time/space/media-shifting is fine by our legislation.
[*] our jail times are particularly small (the philosophy of our legislation is that jail time should recover the person and get it back as a productive member of the society -- not that it works a lot in practice): 2-6 years for theft, 2-8 for aggravated assault, 6-20 for murder, 20-30 for robbery with murder.

At least one of the drivers (Survivor) uses TrueCrypt.
