    Well apple hates double licensing, why they don't have bluray or movies in itunes stores outside USA.

  3. Re:Sparc on Oracle Claims Intel Is Looking To Sink the Itanic · · Score: 1

    Sigh, todays cpu's does not only use 128bit internally but 256 bit processing. Heck a PPC G4 had vector processing at up to 256 bit.

    So your non usefulness of 128bit is plane nonsense. Then if 128bit memory addressing is needed is a totally different topic. But in this context the 128 bit does not refer to memory addressing. But to (cant get the english word) "computable precision"?.
    Ever consider problematics within 3D programming and rendering? 256 bit is sometimes even way to low to allow needed precision. Instead you hack your way to allow computation to happen with smaller precision.

    Also just take the G4 as an other example, it's still probably the best cpu and chipset to handle Firewire. Some studios did not go to the G5 cause the G4 performed better when it came to signal handling.

    I wonder where the Intel cpu today stands no clue, not been following. But the Intel architecture is rubbish compared with what is out there. Yes it's the most successful architecture, but just as windows and dos back in the day was plain rubbish compared with any other system out there, they where the most successful. But ranging from SGI trough Amiga to Mac systems it was plain rubbish.

    Just look at the memory handling differences between 32bit and 64bit windows. 64bit windows is way faster, why?, it should be slower.
    But it's all due to the old crappy intel architecture.

    But when that said, Intel is pretty much the only alternative out there for todays desktops. I'm sadned that IBM didn't push the PPC architecture more. Just as I'm sad Alpha got in wrong hands. The only good thing with todays situation is that almost everything is intel compatible. And it has it's own pros. But todays computers would probably been quite different if the world hadn't chosen intel and ms.

    I would have modded you up but couldn't as i've replied here to other.

    But actually it's not the business you should blame but the government of USA that is not doing what it should do Govern. And it should govern the market so that competition is free. But now what america has is a free market, but no competition.

    I do, infact I hate any other way.

    I do type slasdot.org when i want to come here, and i type google.com when i want to go to google.com but google.com wont respect that. I hate google.com for that.

    Whenever I want any other google. x i type that. Why I nowadays go to google.co.uk. instead of google.com if i'm not on my own computer. As .com is always relocating me to google.fi, which only sux. I almost never want any .fi information. Then google.co.uk is second best to google.com

    So yeah i type url's and i find any other way of getting where i want to stupid.

    Yep I keep 3 passwords for private life stuff. They are graded, where to use which one. And I also make sure my rated low secure id won't be easily connected to my high security id.

    But true, if they ever got to my pw and id, of what i use where high security is needed, I'd be quite fckd.

    So i got a low security pw, a mid security pw, and a high security pw. If anyone get to my low pw, it's not a catastrophe at all, I would not even care.

    Well i have a case on the iphone4 i have, but it's not due to antenna gate. It's because the design is way to sensitive, the prior versions of the iphone where way better from that perspective. But no I would not change my ip4 to any of those, nor any android phone.

    I'm curious about WP7, though I generally are an Apple fanboy...

    Still a demo that is compressed to 64k is not much bigger uncompressed. The difficult part is not to fill your memory, but to use it most efficiently.

    I much rather have a good 3MP camera on my phone than a crappy 8MP.

    Putting 8MP on such small sensors is rubbish. I have 8MP DSLR Canon. That is on a APS sized sensor, And I would so much like to have the full sized sensor, that the 5D.
