It can be quite hard to come up with something original.
We all know they all have a gun. And that they forget to raise their children after they are born. And that they don't know how a democracy works. And that they think they're superior to everyone else. And that they're all fat from all that fast-food.
Does anyone have a new argument?
(i'm going to use cut&paste from a calculator now:)
IPv4 has a 32-bit address-range (duh!) which means there are 4,294,967,296 different addresses. Give everyone on earth a unique address, and there won't be enough of them already! If everyone were to connect their coffee makers, tv-sets and such; well, you see my point.
IPv6, on the other hand, has a 128-bit (!) address-range instead. This'll give us 3,4028236692093846346337460743177e+38 addresses. This leaves enough room for everybody, including their home/work-appliances, for at least the next 10 years.;)
Will they use an extra (API-)layer for all machines, or will they make those games for one particular system, and emulate them on others?
If there's no (noticable) performance decrease, emulation is a good idea from a commercial point of view. They'll only have to write those emulators once and just maintain them, instead of having to port -all- their games to -all- the systems -every- time.
Wouldn't it be possible to have more than one company use the same emulator? That is: Will it be an open standard?
And i know this sounds SlashGeeky, but will those emulators include one for Linux?
1. They found the bug in question
2. New distribution exceeded deadline
3. Distribution was released anyway
a bit later...
4. The bug is now fixed
5. Users are promptly informed of the bug
I love it! Computers can NEVER be too powerful! Those Sun E10K's over here are already starting to get old, IMHO.
I always keep ten-year-old computer magazines around too; just to see what was state-of-the-art back then. I wonder how many years it would take to get people to laugh at the present day technology.

Well, i guess it's up to me, then... How about a Beowulf-cluster of these?
Sorry for replying to myself. I know it's unappropriate, but...
Why was this moderated down with off-topic? With my post i was referring to the intelligent-jackets offer at the top of the article.
I spent about 20 minutes trying to pose an interesting question to Slashdot. I do not appreciate this.
You forgot the sheer lack of unique IP-adresses.

THAT's the *real* difference.
Does this mean i won't be able to quit my day job?

As the great Butthead would say: That'd be cool!

Sure, it's impressive right now.
But what they're saying is that it'll be released mid next year. Will it still be impressive then?
I don't really think so. It'll just be another processor like all the others.
Carrying water to the ocean is what i'd call it.
I have a patent too. It's dated back in the '70's.
It's about using the word "Patent" in publicized texts.
You got your sig off a fortune cookie. :P
You also forgot that it's a quote from Winston Churchill.
I'll get the nobelprize for first post. :)
