Not necessarily. I've come across time when GCC has seg faulted on me, though it was for having a very large array statically allocated (think like an array of 20+ megs in structures sitting in an include file). While yes, gcc should display a friendly message to tell you you've broken something and then exit, the seg fault is more likely from something the code in question has done rather than gcc in general. Then again, if a program can't handle it's input...
Please, read the documentation for your processor. It's not rare at all for an FPU to run at half clock. In fact, lots of things in your processor run at half clock. For example, stack ops on badly aligned stacks (32 bit stack aligned on a 16 bit [not 32 bit] barrier) usually take 2 or more clock cycles. Not every ops takes one cycle.
Eh. Reliability can't really fully be determined until a chip comes off of the line. And this is really theory/sim work. They hope to get someone to buddy up with them and help with an actual proto. And remember, if the same reliability standards were in place for trains as were for computers, they would derail every two hours:) As far as the acronym, I'm gonna have to ask someone about that... (some people blamed it on PR or marketing people, but the EE dept. doesn't really have any)
We're not still in the stone age comment, being posted from a real University of Texas tech desk. A lot of the features in the Pentiums and up were based on papers written by professors in my department. AMD has a fab right here in town (well, ok, a little bit outside of town).
But that would be a critically flawed process. In order to build a cluster efficiently, you need to know what you'll be doing with it. I guess they could be told, get the most FLOPS you can on this budget, or the most IOPS on this budget or whatever, but there is still optimization done beyond that.
Eh. It's not exactly universal though. OpenBSD doesn't even do MP, much less hyperthreading (if you think these are two very different issues, go read the god damn IA-32 System Developer Manual). Acttually, I think NetBSD is the same deal right now. FreeBSD has MP though.
It's about design philosophy. Windows tries to tie everything together. Email clients aren't just email clients. They include html browsers, which include script interpreters, which are allowed to make system calls. Under Linux and Unix in general, generally, tools are only large enough to work. Email clients are email clients. Borwsers are browsers, and generally the scripting in them isn't allowed to run too far unchecked. That being said, let us remember that the Morris Worm primarily exploited unix...
It's a little technical but "Understanding the Linux Kernel" is good for a reference on how linux on x86 works. It's not very technical though, if you understand C code and a little asm. For a general overview on x86, Intel's (free!) third volume in the IA-32 development set is good, though it's more about what an OS could offer, not what they do offer. I don't really know of any way to get design docs for proprietary stuff, like NT.
From what I've ever, they have quietly layed off massive amounts of their programming talent. Basically, the only people left at SCO are the executes (who are busy selling stock), public relations people (busy driving stock prices up), and lawyers (well, we know what they are doing...).
The first international banking system was establish ed by the Knights Templar during the crusades. It used something like a check, so that pilgrims didn't have to carry physical wealth with them along the way. The involvement of the templar in money handling is part of what made them so wealthy, which was part of what made them so feared, which was King Philip eventually rounded up and arrested the leaders of the order. I just think it's kind of interesting that banking has its roots in a militant order...
People are finally realizing China isn't quite as bush league as they thought.
Seriously though, China is a manufacturing superpower. They have lots of high tech neighbors willing to put money into China (and they aren't doing so badly with their R&D either), a huge population, and a large/rapidly expanding production capacity. They really are in an ideal place to manufacture all kinds of electronics.
but a) It doesn't do any good if you hit the wrong building.
b) It doesn't do you any good if you mean to hit the 'wrong' building.
Furthermore, if a civilian happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, this still won't help... such is the nature of war I guess, though.

Well, that's in debate (as some other posters have stated) there are in fact, a couple of facilities in the US that are trying to detect gravitons/gravity waves using really long, precisely monitored tunnels and laser distance finders. A guy I went to school is now working on the problem of making real time adjustments for seismic activity, in order to aide the accuracy of the measurements. The facility is called LIGO, if you are interested (well, it's still called LIGO, even if you aren't).

Keep in mind that someone submitted this. And that the editors of slashdot are too busy on stage three (that's right PROFIT!!!) to care if Thinkgeek makes a couple of extra bucks here and there. Plus, admit it. You want one. Or maybe I'm part of the overarching conspiracy too. Bwahaha.
What, specifically, did they tell you? Are they just ignoring you or did they explicitly say they won't give you the source? Just make sure you document all communication with them. Perhaps even host it to the internet.:) Additionally, if you have a lawyer friend (as all good OSS geeks should have;) see if you can get him/her to draft a nasty legalese letter to them...
The point is, they want to encourage these eBay bargain shoppers to buy new stuff (curtailing the secondary market). As a result outdated hardware would just be tossed, because no one would want it (it would cost less to buy it new!). They are hoping that everyone will continue to buy all new hardware, and no one will be interested in used gear anymore. I suspect, however, that a large portion of the customers they hope to gain from this simply won't buy anything, because they won't be able/willing to fork over the cash for it.
*sigh* It's not even _about_ TCP. This is a hardware issue. Windowing doesn't factor into it. The article is about the theorectical reduction in throughput (which is, btw, different than latency-- a semi full of hardrives would have high throughput and horrible latency). Also, there was no testing, this is math work. It is about the optimum situation.
might as well piss off some more people. Disclaimer:I own an iBook.
Yes, Apple's liscense isn't really the most free of them all. This is because Apple's primary motivations in using Open Source solutions are to: a)harness the man power and combined talent of the open source movement to aide their own software, thus making profit from software they would otherwise have to write themselves:) b)sell to the open source crowd. Face it, how many/. geeks would have bought anything Apple before OS X and Darwin came out? It's cool now though. Admittedly, that's kind of what made me get my iBook...
So maybe we have a new category: free as in, you're free to help Apple.
