listen closely, because these are facts:
1.) p31.13Ghz may not be stable, but p3866mhz and athlon 900mhz are.
2.) We would not have ships clocked at 866-900mhz were it not for this "pissing contest."
nothing good, eh? nothing good has come out of it because the p3 1.13Ghz doesn't work? Because its pushed back to 2001?
Wake up, buddy. the p3 1.13Ghz wouldn't have a release date next year, problem or no problem, if they didn't have to compete with AMD. Chips wouldn't be even close to the Ghz range by now if intel could still hide behind Moore's [economic] law. The Highest end of us would be using 650-700 Mhz chips, maybe
It's called capitalism. It means that when companies compete, they have to work harder and produce better products, or they go out. So the longer this "pissing contest," as you call the free market economy, continues, chips will continue to get faster.
If faster chips cannot be produced that are stable, (which they can, in any case, as AMD is showing us every day) it is because the technology really is at its limit, at least for now, not because of competition between chip manufacturers.
If you really think that all that's been at stake over the past year and a half or so between Intel and AMD has been essentially bragging rights (as in a pissing contest) then you are sorely mistaken.
That's what hackers do right? Exploit the vulnerablities in order to get them fixed? Oh, wait, they just get sent to jail while the corporations or govt bureaucracies do nothing to improve the system.
Al will just point at the problem, say "there's no controlling legal authority on the internet"
actually, it won't be as simple as just point to the problem for Al. It'll take him awhile, because I don't thikn he can bend his arms at the elbows. He's like a GI Joe, that guy.
But seriously, if Pool and have a patent on international internet trade, why can't Al have a patent on the internet itself?
so AMD chips are more expensive now than intel chips? isn't that itself evidence that they are better? I mean, AMD has been the "bargain" chip brand for years, for people who wanted a deal and maybe wouldn't mind risking a lower quality chip if the price was right.
So isn't the fact that the demand for Athlons has been great enough to raise the price higher than the "market leader's" price enough? What more evidence do you need? --------
Once Again: Users with high karma start at 2. that's just the way it is. spread the word: the more people know, the less times we read posts asking about it.
This is a good point. If companies would be like iD and release source or even binaries of old products, the open-source "revolution" would be a lot less painful for them.
I remember plowing thorugh each and every level of that game in the early 90's when it was the hottest thing.
Yeah, I remember plowing through each and every level in the early 90's when it was the hottest thing. I also remember plowing through each and every level in 1999, when it was less than the hottest thing, but still the best.
is that despite how much better work Guiness did than Star Wars, and how much he hated it, (as many people have said) look what category the story is posted under: Star Wars Prequels!
Note that for most of the US's history, copyright was 14 years. It worked.
Is this meant to imply that the current system isn't working? I haven't seen any studies showing that less people are creating since the 14-year rule was changed.
Who the hell considers Buchanon and the Reform Party a member of a four candidate election?!?!?
The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the country. Harry Browne will come in fourth place, not Pat "I'm a stupid goddam redneck" Buchanan.
Tell me how its supposed to
encourage the artist to innovate if they have an exculsve copyright after theyre dead?
Tell me how an artist is encouraged to innovate if they don't! Your argument doesn't make a lick of sense! Why would anyone be more encouraged to work on something, to pour their heart and soul into something, to create something, if they have to give it all away in 14 years than they would if they could be certain that they could profit from it for the rest of their life and use its profits to take care of their family after they die? It makes no sense at all.
I've never heard of anyone owning one either, but instead of getting one real cheap, I recommend getting MAME for free, which can handle not only about a gazillion arcade machines but also Neo-Geo.

oh yeah, intel.com is the best place to find out about vital flaws in the PIII 1.13Ghz that you just bought.

Well, could you enlighten me as to how poor artists are losing out by retaining the rights to their work?

How much did you pay for your several full size uprights? I'll bet it was more than the $0 I paid to download MAME and a bunch of ROMS.
there sure is, buddy.
