Way off. You may not be able to simply average it, but running the program at a.2% error more than 2 times makes it many orders of magnitude more accurate. At 99.8% accuracy; running the same operation 3 times and picking the two that match would give you a very high accuracy rate. The chances of it running the requested operation and getting it wrong two times out of three are approximately 1 in 250,000. Still not on par with silicon computers, but this is much better.

Hi Jenny,
Actually, I am talking about the one in oregon. Yes, you're right. It did run for many years with good success. Until that nasty crack in the steam tower, which they said they'd fix for years and years. No, they just want to dismantle the damned thing now. No, my dad works for Bonneville Power Administration(He's a marketer) and he tells me that WPPSS flops really weren't that expensive. About 7 years ago, I went on a tour of all the dams around here. Had a blast. We did end up going to some of the WPPSS plants. (Can't remember which ones, I wasn't old enough).
Well...... you were doing fine with examples until you got to nuclear power plants. Right here in my home town, Trojan Nuclear Powerplant was behind schedule for so many years, the state shelved the project. They said it was too much money. Of course, this wasn't determined until there was only 10% of the project left. Then, they let it sit for many years, costing us local taxpayers a 100 million $ a year to keep it cleaned up and safe(yet inoperable). Whew!
I better stop... I'm just getting pissed off thinking about it.
Oh my god, you are so oversimplifying things. The internet was a great project by many people like DARPA and universities. And yes, the Internet has grown because of 'hacker shits'. The popularity and interoperability of the internet is due almost soley to corporations and hackers.
And another thing, don't rain on other people's parades, it isn't nice.
No, NOS is bad. It can do some good things, and some bad things. When a NOS/Gas combustion occurs, it happens much more violently than a forced induction combustion. It's harder on the engine. However, you can make huge power gains with NOS because of it's cooling effect. The lower intake charge temps help reduce pre-ignition and the more dangerous detonation.
I've driven a couple high rever's(Integra's at 8250 rpm). They were a kludge to get going, but with the right gearing, hell of a blast to drive. I haven't driven an S2000, but I got a ride in one. Friggin sweet. But, I digress; If you can stay in your powerband, you're doing just fine.

Top three reasons to use AMD: 1: Support the underdog 2: Try something new and inexpensive 3: Test the fate of the gods
When you look at AMD's history, they've always been the follower; attempting to deliver what Intel has always charged too much for. The Hammer architecture is a serious departure from the 'follow the leader' approach they've used in the past. Even the Athlon was not nearly so different from the Pentium as the Hammer is.
In fact, the Athlon was nothing more than a Pentium Pro on steroids. The Hammer is a radically different beast. The smooth transition it will allow for developers will be something the average user can appreciate.
IA-64 will take a long time to become a standard, if ever. I think it will find it's home in big Blue boxes, and Sun enterprise solutions. The only immediate uses are going to be scientific and industrial. Both good markets, but Sun, MIPS, HP, Compaq(Alpha as well) have proven through history that big business alone cannot support an architecture. You need the large installed user base that the Pentium got.
When examining a processors performance, you have to look beyond it's theoretical performance, and understand why they fall so short of the expectations. Even under ideal circumstances, the Athlon just cant keep busy. The ALU's just don't stay full. With an integrated North Bridge on every Hammer. you end up with an far decreased latency and better scaling with processor speed. Closer inspection also reveals a mechanism to link every Hammer to up to two other Hammers. The memory attached to each Hammer is unioned so that the OS sees one big memory map.
In the development of microprocessors, most ideas are nothing more than the next logical step; an slightly innovated version of the last. The Hammer tempts us with a revolution. Processors that stay busy all the time. Processors that talk to each other directly. Some say that a built-in memory controller is a Bad Idea. Being built-in leads to higher performance. Much lower latency as well.
In the past, revolution was only possible by visionary minds. AMD has those minds. AMD's ability to execute has risen my many orders of magnitude in the last 3 years. If they can keep it up, Intel may lose their crown(and their checkbook). Personally, I think they can pull it off. I also believe the Hammer will be received with much greater market acceptance than both the IA-64 or the P4. If for nothing else but competition's sake, I hope the Hammer succeeds.
Sucky. I've been flying in and out of PDX for many years. Probably flown to Salt Lake City about 15 times from here. Never had a problem with security. My Nokia 6190 was strapped to my side when I got into security. It was turned off. I set it on the tray, walked through, took my stuff. No one asked to look at my phone. Didn't even have to turn it on.
Another time, I forgot to take my keys out of my pocket. Set it off, got the wand. So, the guy says
empty your pocket. I pull out my keys, he says 'yup, just keys. Move along now'. So, I could have had a gun in my pocket with my keys, and still walked right through.
Just recently, they commented on the news how an investigative reporter got a simulated weapon through security twice in the same day.
I can see why people are mad. They got the big stiffy here. But, I can't help but think they were a little naive(sp?) for building their own products around it without assuring the licensing was going to permit them future usage. Seems a little financially reckless to me.
Did you even read the story? Or click on any of the links? If you did, you are illiterate. The whole problem was that they were promising to release the source code, but never got around to it.

Cameras yes. Audio, not always. Many states are of the single party consent variety which mean that for a conversation, only 1 party is required to give consent to be recorded.
Absolutely. I agree %100. My state of religious interest is of no consequence or right to the government. In a supposedly free county(USA), the government(city, county, state, and federal) should have zero interest whatsoever in the citizens religion of choice.
As for ID cards, well, that's a touchy subject for me. Anything that is allowed to be on my drivers license I would agree to put favorably on a national ID card. In the USA, each State issues their own driver's license. Why? No freakin' idea. I think a national ID card should also substitute for my drivers license.
I believe that when you are convicted of a felony, you should be required to make a DNA submission to a national archive for testing in previously unsolved cases, as well as kept on record for when you get out.
Many criminals are repeat offenders. Having their DNA on file would just help catch them more often.
Oh well. You should have no expectation of privacy:
1. At work
2. At school(limited privacy(lockers for example)
3. Outdoors
If I get mugged, I want those cameras there. If my car gets stolen, I want my spankin new OBD-III car to tell me where it's at(and turn itself off).
I just want new technology to be for the people; not used against us.
Any of you conspiracy theorists would be terrified if you had access to the NCIC database.
Get over it.
You certainly do not expect to get fortune off of your open source code. The whole point of the open source license model is that it STAYS open source. So that if someone uses your code and improves it, you get to see what they did. Lawsuits are a convenient way to punish those who don't abide by the license stipulations. This so-called "infighting" is nothing more than the (proper) response to something designed to be free being stolen.
I agree: zealots in the Linux(and BSD) communities have always been a little highstrung. But their basis for zealotry hasn't been unfounded.
Ahem, where have you been? Germanium devices have gained popularity in the last few years because of their favorable operating chracteristics. New processes have given us g transistors and diodes with higher heat dissipation abilities, as well as higher frequency operation.
Germanium is popular again. Take a look through an electronics catalog or something.

You know you open source fanatics spout far more FUD than MS ever does.
That's highly unlikely.
But, your right: Open Source is not a new idea. In fact, it's an older idea than the closed source model.
In addition the comment about Windows being "easy" just makes me laugh:
For most users Windows does exactly what they want in a very efficient manner,
You've just contradicted yourself buddy. Why don't you put a little more thought before you start typing.
It took me about 30 minutes to have an advanced install of Apache going with PHP & P5 webpages
Does this somehow make YOU feel special? Anybody can do this. It's easy. Try getting SSL/Apache/Mysql/Perl/PHP to work together. Now thats bitchin.
most open source projects are ~4 primary developers (if not a single one that is responsible for the overwhelming majority of it: This is the case with most well known projects)
Wrong again, you are 0 for 2. Look at projects like XFree86, and the Linux Kernel. There are literally hundred(thousands?) of people at any moment working on it. Did you notice the recent story about the lines of code required to write different operating systems? Linux has made most of it's recent progress in the last 3 or 4 years. Windows has been a work in progress for almost 20, yet by the number of lines of code required to make each, Linux is larger by a factor of 2. No, Microsoft cannot keep up.
No, not instantly. It took many years for Open Source software to get where it is. But all it takes is enough developer interest to make something better. True, there's a ton of OSS crap out there. But there's even more Closed-Source crap out there.
Every methodolgy has it's good and bad cases. Some more than others.
Very true. And I can understand the frustration of Open Source game developers. Open Source has yet to see an abstraction layer as quick and easy as DirectX.
Yes, I don't really like DirectX at all, but it's true that it is a really quick and semi-portable method of designing some really kick-ass games.
