"to write to version numbers" is another problem, though pretty much orthogonal to this one. Won't solve it, won't make it worse. That you want to "write to version numbers" (when you should be "writing to features") is possibly THE single worst argument against this change.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but most sensible people will compare CPUs at a similar price, and the Intel 'extreme' CPUs typically slot in at $999 and beyond. Hopefully Bulldozer isn't trying to compete in that segment.
Granted, sensible people don't buy these sorts of CPUs at all and are waiting for Ivy Bridge....
I thought you'd always been able to buy 'tray' (aka OEM) variants (without the cooler), it's just that lately the tray has cost the same or even less than the retail (aka "boxed") package, so there haven't really been a point to it.
I'm not sure the STL even existed at the time we're talking about. At the very least it wasn't widely used, so in the context of this dicussion it's a non-issue.
I don't know about that, maybe it was faster than Borland C++, but I did a lot of work (disassembly) on Borland Pascal compulation units and executables back in the day, and the code was horrible. HORRIBLE. Didn't even have the most basic peephole-optimizations (though someone wrote an external application to do that). It was fast to compile though, due to being one-pass, but that right there sacrifice optimizations.
So if TP/BP was faster than BC++, it was only because BC++ must have been even worse than I can imagine.
The amazing thing about these economic bubbles is that they continue to inflate even though virtually all participants know they're engaging in a bubble. This because they also believe that somewhere out there there's a greater fool, someone else who will, like themselves, ignore the fact that they value thing X below the actual cost of acquiring it
What is it with you PC snobs anyway? When a PC exclusive title comes out, you don't see scores of console gamers spamming the game's message boards complaining that it isn't coming to consoles
You mean comments like "I don't think my computer could run this. Here's hoping for a console version." and "Man, this looks pretty awesome. I hope it comes out on consoles." which I just pulled out from a thread under a video of The Witcher 2 which just came out?
I could probably mine places like Gametrailers, G4 and IGN for more of that, but I think I've proven my point.
The rest of your 'analysis' if wrong also, but that's another story.
... using the currency of my choice, from the region of my choice. Steam does NOT currently have "one price for everyone". If it had, I'd be able to buy my games using the same dollar amounts as americans, which I can't.
Sony says while personal information was likely stolen they don't believe credit card numbers were and that they hope to have the Playstation Network service back up within a week.
Here's a search I did at work today: atomic_cas_int. Totally unhelpfully it changes the query: "Showing results for atomic casting". Wait, what? That's not what I said?! Want to SUGGEST 'atomic casting', go right ahead, but change my query?!
Guess I'll have to add quotes in the future, which inhibits this insipid behavior.
Oh, there's nothing unfortunate about that. The expansion of the financial sector is likely to blame for a lot of the economic inefficiencies that exist today (people on the inside will of course claim the opposite, that all that debt bundling and selling to 'bag holders' (turned out to be you and me!) that led to a crash was making the market more efficient).
Don't be retarded, there's no way they have to STORE your phone POSITION months and months back. I doubt they even have to store it at all for it to work. If it were merely information deduced from billing as in "you were somewhere in area X because you made a call through carrier Y which is only active there", that's another thing. That's not what this is. This is the systematic tracking of data beyond that which is necessary for the network to work.

I wish the transfer window created had a pause function, and was actually a queue so that I could queue up more files for the same action (copy/move).
A hardcore supporter of SCOX when they were attacking Novell over linux. So... why listen to him? Not like there's a dearth of pundits.

Sorry, I confused your link with this. That page do look up to date.
Unless just changed, those numbers are from 2003 and really out of date.
So basically it's in the noise? Even if it were true, why would anyone care about such a small downside?

I assume the still won't let you mix AMD and nVidia video cards. Asshats. (think dedicated physx)
Welcome to slashdot, where people know how to follow links/how the internet works. If the story wasn't sourced to blog post you'd have a point.

Wouldn't the non-compete include pay for the duration? If not, why would anyone EVER sign one of these?
I mean, if I'm not doing anything wrong, what's the problem if Google, the goverment, or such, track me?
Try to track government officials and they'll tell you all about why it's wrong. It's the most amazing thing.

I'm more excited about something that's a bit closer on the timeline, the Game of Thrones series. A little less black vs white, hopefully.
I think I can one-up you in that department. I got it from a Craig Ferguson monologue a couple of days ago. "Wait, we're doing what?"
