You do if you want to change everyone's salary. I'm sure global salary adjustment is a sufficiently rare phenomenon that it is not a feature of the system (remember, this was developed in cobol). So you have to do this programmatically. Making the same change by hand would be error prone, if it was even possible to do in a sane time frame. Remember that unlike with a raise, for example, you need to remember the old salary.
7 foot isn't all that uncommon, but the anthropomorphic part took some artistic license (they had a small fx budget... human actors were easier to use back then).
Suppose that sse3 is not always faster than sse2. In particular, suppose AMD has implemented sse3 in such a way that it sucks in performance compared to sse2. (This is actually true in some cases.. check out the specs on AMD's implementation of sse3, it sucks compared to intel's, but the sse2 implementation is quite good).
So now if you want to burst data to the memory subsystem, you have to base that decision based on which cpuid you get back if you want maximum performance for each cpu. This may be closer to what they were trying to do.
I don't understand your argument. My understanding of the code is this:
if (cpu is intel) run sse3//fastest else if (cpu is amd) run sse2//faster than x86 else run x86//slowest
And that by default that means an intel cpu goes fastest because it supports sse3. Amd goes faster because it supports sse2. When a via runs, by default it gets the slowest code path because the benchmark is unaware that it supports sse2 & sse3. So if it lies and says 'amd' it goes faster. If it lies and says 'intel' it goes yet faster again.
This makes perfect sense, and requires no wrongdoing on the part of PCMark. Just a little bit of code that needs improvement.
Heck, you're calling a flaw that can only be discovered on a niche cpu with less than 1% market share glaring?
They made a cpu optimization based on the cpuid rather than the cpu capability bits. I've done the same. It's easier, and faster to do so. I don't care if my code runs well on a via, as none of my users run on via. No gamer with any sense is going to try to build a gaming machine on via, so why should FM care?
Because statistically, if you're not white, and not reasonably wealthy, you have experienced abuse of police power first hand at least once if you live in the US.
The cops do go after the gay lefties, but the prison terms for their offenses are usually only 1 month, and are often served out of jail. That doesn't mean they aren't getting arrested or taking beatings at rallies.
Where do cops not get paid well? They've gotten paid well above the median income every where I've lived, both small towns and large, east coast, midwest, and west coast.
I've never had a coworker I knew was acting both immorally and illegally. If I had, I'd definitely have turned them in.
The police force breeds corruption. It's an inherent tendency when people are given power over other people to start to view the people they have power over as inferior. Read the stanford prison study.
You don't want your ceo to be representative. The average company with a CEO has at least 50 people. You really want that person to have the best leadership and organizational skills of those 50.
I typed it right, and you typed it wrong, twice, in an attempt to make me look bad? Or maybe you just didn't know what it meant? The word is antithetical, not antiethical.
I can't find a consistent definition of 'practical libertarianism', so it's hard to argue against specifically. Every definition of libertarianism I've seen argues that both drugs and prostitution are victimless crimes and would have drug merchants offering cocaine to kids during lunch break, then offering them for prostitution a few months later once they're sufficiently addicted. It's hard to be in favor of that. Drop that crazy stuff to become practical, and as far as I can tell you just become a socialist who wants a smaller government.
If there were aliens visiting us, there would be hundreds of people seeing them, reporting UFO sightings, etc. No one would believe a government cover up.
I probably should have specified Democrats and Republicans rather than liberals and conservatives. The republican party has decided to line up behind an administration that wants to throw core civil rights (like habeas corpus) out the window to 'fight terrorism'. They've also generally lined up behind corporate rights over individual rights. I think both of those are despicable.
Rights of the unborn, guns, media are issues over which reasonably sane people may hold different opinions, but the others just aren't.
'Something like' the PATRIOT Act and the actual PATRIOT act are hard to compare for how much they infringe core civil/human rights. Would 9/11 even have happened under Gore?
Libertarianism unfortunately basically advocates for the right to engage in crazy amounts of exploitation, which is antithetical to my life view.
I'm fairly sure that these laws have been struck down every time they've been tried. Politicians keep trying because it helps land the 'think of the children' vote.
Video games have been tested fairly extensively at this point. Unfortunately for those who want them to, violent video games actually tend to decrease violent tendencies.
I think partly the difference lies in expectations. We feel deeply betrayed when Obama votes for FISA, but expect nothing less from McCain voting for PATRIOT. We expect conservatives to try to erode our rights, and expect the liberals to fight for them.

They lie in their requirements, you lie on your resume, balance is achieved.

Was that a joke or a typo? victim -> assailant?
EETimes did not report this story. Digitimes did.
I'd be shocked if slashdot even reached spell-checked.
And there's actually an even better explanation:
Suppose that sse3 is not always faster than sse2. In particular, suppose AMD has implemented sse3 in such a way that it sucks in performance compared to sse2. (This is actually true in some cases .. check out the specs on AMD's implementation of sse3, it sucks compared to intel's, but the sse2 implementation is quite good).

How exactly would the defendant benefit from a negotiated plea if not by reduced jail time?

Unless his contract says otherwise. And no investor should be stupid enough to hold Apple shares while he does so.
I don't think anyone got the funny of my post, that being that there are in fact hundreds of people reporting seeing aliens and ufos etc.
I would argue that that does make you more credible. Just not credible enough for that claim.
If there were aliens visiting us, there would be hundreds of people seeing them, reporting UFO sightings, etc. No one would believe a government cover up.
It's a false memory. Warcraft 2 was also rated teen. The only warcraft game rated differently was orcs and humans, at E for everyone.

I'm unclear on what stereotype you're referring to.
