It could be a power issue related to charge time, It might require that much power to run, however each shot could use more power then that overall by charging up large capacitors.
Prior to the anti trust cases gates/microsoft gave next to nothing to charity, He goes from dirt rich doing nothing usefull with his wealth to Time's Man of the Year.
I would love to think its all from his heart, but I think its tainted money, backdoor bribes to make people happy. There actions are to save there own ass, they are not embracing open-source they are giving in to pressure in hopes it will prevent "Antitrust suit 2"
All those complaining about the shared cache and low bus speed have to remember, Intel has a history of "crutching" new processors to ensure they don't kill the sale of there old processors.
Until they kill the current xeon line and get rid of the inventory on stock they will keep this chip under a tight noose, only ramping it up as they feel the need.
If a company copies someone elses idea and puts out a matching product they directly affect the original persons ability to make money, so in sense they "steal" the original persons oppurtunity to profit from there idea.
But then I would guess your someone who copies music from the internet and other people because its not "stealing" and therefore with your logic your not hurting anyone.
A persons choice to download instead of purchase and support the artist, and there family is not "stealing", your just making a "copy" so its all ok.
Give it a rest, yes cd's are overpriced and the record labels are idiots but 2 wrongs do not make a right.
I have no problem with people getting a patent on an "idea" or software concept as long as the person can
1. Show no prior art 2. Has intent to use said patent.
Patents are meant to protect a inventory from LOSS due to stealing of a persons idea. They where never meant as a profit center.
I should not be able to think up and idea and then just sit on it until someone else decideds to try and use it.. Wait even longer then sue them for using it once they are worth money.
You could go out and pick 6 new admins and get totally diffrent results, this study is a joke!. Maybe the windows group had dealt with similiar projects before and the linux people had not?
You are not judging any measurable value, instead your study did nothing but judge the performance of the people you picked to do the study.
"Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks"
You are trying to qualify 2 seperate tasks which can both be completed X number of ways into a single conclusion. You can not do that when Y ( people invovled ) is variable. You can not possibly do that with such a small group of people.
For this study to even be close to valid it would have to be approached from a similar direction drug companys use to test there products.. A BROAD range of people ( not just 6 ) would of have to been brought together and your tests would of had to be run multiple times with seperate groups before any formation of a conclusion could come about!
Even then it does not mean your conclusion is fact! ( Every year how many drugs are found unsafe even after going through this type of testing ).
1. How many Critical IE vs Firefox 2. How fast where patches/new versions deployed 3. How many days was the browser open to the exploit
And Finally
4. Total number of days browser was exploitable - IE vs Firefox
I bet you will find issues in IE that are not even patched yet, turnaround for more Firefox issues however? In most cases a solution within hours a patch within days.
When a prior test shows such extreme poor performance, at times a good review company will take the time to look into WHY That performance gap exists to make sure its not the fault of there tests and is indeed a issue with the hardware.
They are not beating a dead horse, They saw a problem with either the platform or there testing methodoligy and did all they could to find the issue
To sell a version without harddrive would be stupid
1. Used for saved games 2. Free parts XBOX Live needs hard drive to save content
They would be killing 2 of the most important aspects of the gaming system if they did this.
1. Developers would be unable to rely on the ability of a customer to save games, customers would be turned off and annoyed once they figured this out
2. XBOX Live argueably one the reasons the XBOX was so successfull in the first place would be neutered which would directly harm there marketshare and continued dominance in the consule online market
1. How many true "geeks" run a system "as it is shipped" Im willing to bet most of us reinstall for one reason or another soon as we get the system. Maybe we want a diffrent partition setup? Maybe we want to make sure there are no Vendor installed CPU wasting crap installed.. For what ever reason most geeks reinstall the OS soon as the computer enters there care.
2. I don't want to be limited to what I can run.. I don't want to be "taxed" for software I will never use.
So in the end I really don't care what OS's you offer.. What I want is the ability to order a laptop void of any OS at all!!!
This is nothing but a childish spat between 2 diffrent groups of developers.
Apple published the patches, and changes and KHTML cries about them having to much OSX specific code in them? Thats just crap..
Apple is acting in good faith, they are basically asking Apple to make sure all patches are 100% compatible with the current code base.
The KHTML team might as well just ask Apple to take over the project in full.
Open Source does not mean "Anything you do must conform and work with our project or your not doing it right"
Open Source is "If you make changes please give back to the community with the understanding that your changes might not be compatible with ours, Your code changes may not be what we want, but we can't complain about that"
What we need to do is change the reason this is happening.
This bill got slammed before, The ONLY reason it is going to make it into law ( and it will make it ) is because its attached to a huge military spending bill.
Neither side at this point wants to hamper our military by killing this bill so this law will pass no matter what you do ( ok maybe thats being over dramatic but its pretty close to true )
What can we do that would prevent this and half the other useless laws that get passed each year?
We need to voice our opinion against unrelated laws being piggy-backed together to get things past the general public and congress.
It should not be possible to have 2 laws totally unrelated in the same action!!! Congress should not be able to attach a law banning you from eating hotdogs to a law funding the federal goverment.
Its biases, deceptive but in todays congress a very common practice..
"Hey you, yea you republican, Yea if you get your people to vote for this democratic bill giving us all raises, we will let you piggy-back that important bill we vetoed last year to ban those evil hotdogs you hate so much, You know I rub your back you rub mine?"
I did not miss the point at all, but to me this is more then just P2P, this is a reflection of our goverment in general and overall.
Our legal system, our goverment, our whole country is on the road to a major shake down.
History has proven time and time again that a country can not shift away from the will of the people without certain things happening.
Granted it may not happen in my lifetime but it will happen, Just look at Russia's breakup.. How long until this country becomes so split that the same thing happens?
What would it take for "america" to realize we need to focus on our own country and not everywhere else? That we need to focus on our own people and not the "big money".
At some point a law, act, something will happen that will be "the straw that broke the camels back" and people WILL act.
Its a never ending cycle of greed and power really, One almost every country in the world has gone through in one form or the other.

I would love to be there to see a demo... While being at CES doesn't mean its ready for the world it does mean this is more then just a prank.
Its a real company, with possibly real products although they could just be fishing for stupid investors also, Wish I could be there to find out

Maybe because Anandtech runs there whole site on MySQL.
Maybe because MySQL is where they have the most exp.
Maybe because they have a huge database and testing tools already setup for there main site they can use for testing, which again is MySQL
Why do the testing with MySQL? Ohh I don't know Maybe they just can

Did I say "All" or "Everyone" or "Any geek worth his weight"..
No I said "most".
Not true at all for example
a spx/desktops_n?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.
Its done, But they give you such limited choices
Oh and let me add one more thing
I don't want any special "No OS" configurator that limits my choices and charges more for upgrades..
I want to be able to go into your online store and order ANY product you have void of an OS period.
( Of course within reason, Im not asking to be provided a Linksys router with no software installed )
1. How many true "geeks" run a system "as it is shipped" Im willing to bet most of us reinstall for one reason or another soon as we get the system. Maybe we want a diffrent partition setup? Maybe we want to make sure there are no Vendor installed CPU wasting crap installed.. For what ever reason most geeks reinstall the OS soon as the computer enters there care.

They are making theory not fact.
With so many ISP's, and Customers that report spam OFFLINE in florida it would make perfect sense that the rate of reported spam would drop!!!
Granted im not saying Spam is not a major source of spam, just that there theory has no backing and is has a major flaw in its thought.

I know, sue americans, take all there money, put them in jail for years for doing things like hmm lets seee.. Oh yea stealing a few movies.
In the meantime lets let convicted murders get out on "good behavior" so they can get another shot and killing someone else.
Lets send rapests to see a shrink who can claim they are now safe for the world again.
Lets focus on every stupid little thing that happens EXCEPT the things that harm and affect us the most!!!
Cause gosh darn it I don't ever want to walk pass some "Axis of Evil" P2P criminal on the streets, the pure inhumanity of it all.
In todays news Slashdot backed even further away from reporting the truth and instead will focus on poor conjecture and invalid facts
