Most likely, they're moving to x86-64, which has 8 more general purpose registers. Y'know, even though you hate an arch, it's still good to look at its advancements every once in a while.
$1000 for the developer sdk is nothing, really. Trolltech's SDK for commercial products is more than that, as are a lot of other toolkits. For companies like adobe that put sell millions of units anually, $1000 for a small group of devs is a drop in the bucket.
how the fuck does this decision now entail you to any sort of lawsuit or compensation? you're only legally entitled to any support given by an SLA or other service contract. Shit happens; IBM just couldn't provide apple with what they need. If you should be pissed at anyone, yell at IBM for forcing apple's hand.
not necessarily. The CPU really is a small part of the puzzle these days. Things like the chipset, etc, can be completely different; SGI made x86 machines in the past that weren't pc compatible, I'm certain similar things will be done here.
Because some people want a unix whose performance and threading isn't hobbled by a silly microkernel. Sometimes, sufficiently awesome isn't awesome enough.
So, let me guess, you are some humorless, lifeless cretin who spends all day in front of a terminal working 16 hours straight, eats, sleeps, and that's about it? Some people enjoy MMOs, MUDs, MUCKs, and other online games. It's a good way to spend a few hours, it's social, it's silly, and if you know where to look, well...
And no, that's not all I do. I visit museumms, I go out to parties, I live. Yes, I work, but there's more to life than labor; all work and no play make jack a dull boy.
If a device has such a secret, the circuitry that detects the substance should only be enabled while it's in diagnostic mode anyways. If it's enabled any other time, then it's indicitive that the coders are sloppy and made mistakes elsewhere which could move a person whose borderline, but still legal, into the area of DUI.
Except when you consider that well-used grazing land is more beneficial than land which is sitting fallow and not being used for grazing. Yes current methods are bad, but again, properly used, mixing cattle grazing with cropland helps remove co2 from the atmosphere. Or do you not care about the facts when you spout your meat baaaaad rhetoric.
Of course, as a counterpoint, cattle rangeland, as opposed to plowed wheatfields, can help slow global warming. Plowed lands can send stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while well-grazed lands can actually help return carbon dioxide to the ground. Balance is the key here. So help save the earth, eat a steak every once in a while.
Maybe you should eat a steak every once in a while, help get some badly needed protein to that undernourished brain of yours. Hyperbole isn't going to solve this problem; do you want to use the same tactics that bush uses to speak, or do you want to be an intelligent insightful person that people will respect the opinion of. Yes, global warming is a big problem, but your shrill voice makes you easy to dismiss. Yer either wit' us or agin' us, right?
I agree, it's really hard to create a removable battery for something that small, I mean...*eyes cell phone* oh, wait, there are similarly sized devices right over there, and not only do they have thin li-ion batteries, they're removable and replaceable. $50 for the battery, I can understand, but it shouldn't be $50 for labor.
While I have done that, it was in the bedroom of a friend's parents. Sex on a tempurpedic bed is nice. I'm kinda partial to the vanilla outdoor sex, though the outdoor transvestite sex does have its appeal too. Hot tub sex is good as well, but swimming pool sex is better - easier to get into a comfortable position. Strip mall parking lot was mmeh, but movie theater was fun and risky. And threesomes are better than foursomes; foursomes are just two pair, threesomes, everyone gets to play with everyone.
No, you don't need sex in an Indiana Jones movie. I am not a prude by any means. I like sex; I just need sex in a graveyard, an elevator, and an orgy to fill my slut bingo card. That being said, explicit sex in the indy movies would ruin the mood of the film. They're a throwback, a goofy adventure movie like was done in the 30s. Yes, we know the hero gets the girl and they have hot kinky monkey sex, but we don't need to see it. Not every movie needs to have the jizzmopper on standby, y'know.
RTFA. There are lots of open source drivers with this flaw too. Drivers are an oft-overlooked area regarding security problems, in both open and closed source drivers. While closed source is a bit worse for this, open source isn't exactly smelling like a rose either.
== making yourself irrelevant to the debate. You're no longer part of the affected population, and thus, both sides will justifiably ignore you. I don't have a TV, and I'm not opening my mouth about it every 10 minutes, especially in issues like this, because, you know what? It doesn't matter to me. By shooting your mouth off about this issue in the shrill manner you have, you have, by and large, given ammunition to the MPAA. They can now say, "look at the other side, they're just a bunch of whiners who don't even own TVs" thus squelching some legitimate complaints.
Torpor's comments are the troll here. Full of sound and fury signifying nothing. I don't own a TV, I'm about as far from mainstream in my purchasing and ideals as they get. At the same time, I fail to see how ridding oneself of their television is relevant to the issue at hand, and that is why this will affect the MPAA and their desire for the broadcast flag.
For the record, I don't own a TV; I gave it to my mother when her's broke and I wasn't watching it anyways. I just found your argument here out of place. How does your comment have to deal with the head of the MPAA saying that unless they get the broadcast flag, they'll stop providing movies for television?
You've missed his argument. His argument is that unless the MPAA gets its way, that's all that will be shown; no movies will be shown, just what the networks produce themselves. So it's more no Friday Night Movie, just another episode of survivor.
And what's this have to do with the issue of the MPAA not allowing TV movies? Oh wait, just more drivel by a leftist whiner living in his mother's basement. Grow a brain.
I'm sorry you live in a backwater. I live in a city with nice large electronics chains that will gladly sell you a box with Linux preinstalled. I also have internet access and know of large PC makers such as HP and Dell which will gladly sell you a box with Linux already on it. And finally, I have a job who will accept packages for me so I get things delivered to me while I'm there, no need to hassle with the UPS guy, in case I want to order from one of those noname stores. Maybe you just need to move.
I'm not an oracle dev, but I imagine that given oracle's reputation, they want the server to just work, regardless of load spikes, etc. There could be some unforseen time when you need 64k files open, like doing a massive modification to your database layout. Oracle just wants to make sure that it can do crazy things like that ahead of time, without having the system crash.

Of course, if no boneheaded closed source code is written that relies on undocumented features, then plextor has nothing to worry about, now do they?

Secondlife is kind of like that already. There are MMOs, FPSs, etc, coded using the game's engine, so in many ways, secondlife is already thirdlife.
And no, that's not all I do. I visit museumms, I go out to parties, I live. Yes, I work, but there's more to life than labor; all work and no play make jack a dull boy.
