Correct. Do you why none (else) is building "big iron" like that? Probabily because too few people is asking for them. The market buzzwords are "cluster" and "clud". Not "big iron". I don't mean that real 64bit hardware is not good. I meat it hardly will succeed. You know the glorious story of the wonderful Motorola 68K and 88K. Beautiful CPUs, stinky business.
I do am ignorant. But I think I know the difference, technical and comemrcial, between Intel, AMD, ARM, POWER7, Alpha and so on. I simply say, there's no room in the market for another CPU, as almost all of the "atlernative" ones already failed.
I mean, to (re)introduce a new CPU in the market? Either the T4 can run Oracle SQL in silicon or it won't fit in between the Intel/AMD mature technology on one side and the rising (and power saving) ARM on the other one. Yes, you can build an "Oracle appliance" with whatever CPU you want, even your very own design. But then will the market share justify the efforts in CPU design?
As it is offensive to Mariastella and all Italian women. Moreover it is also a straight personal attack to the Italian PM. This website is clearly directed and read by the Italian Left parties. If you won't comply you'll be suded by our attoneys, have the website obscured in Italy and brought in prison for a year or two. Sincerely yours S.B.
I wonder how can you display, say, your favorite holiday pictures on a cardboard box and then have it the touch stuff to zoom that in and out... Or how can you do the same on a window... the real glassy ones I mean. No, you can only transform screens (in the sense of "device to display pictures and text") into touchscreens.
Don't think so. Technically speaking e-rental is simply bullshit. It'd rely on software (or firmware, which is the same) to enforce limitations (DRM). But sooner there'll be software (or even hardware) to circumvent it. See Sony Playstation, Nintendo Wii, Apple iThings and so on. Sooner or later a DRM circumvention has been introduced.
From the marketing point of view, it's even worse. You mean I buy something I won't be able to listen to within a week or a month? Forget about it!
What'd be the real life, real technology meaning of an e-rental? I get I file that I later need to delete when the rental expires? Smart! Very smart indeed!
There's a point here: at the kernel level FreeBSD outperforms Linux. At least with Linux kernel 2.6.38 (Ubuntu 11.04) and FreeBSD's. During gaming there's little in use from the distributions themselves. I'd say it's 99.999% kernel stuff (with drivers).
If you are a voyeur, that magic mirror is a must, provided that you install it at your favorite targets' bathroom and it has a hidden wide angle webcam.
The only moment someone is in the bathroom and is able to use a computer is either sitting on the "white throne" or laying in the tub. In both cases I see the magic mirror at least out of a reach, if not completely useless. What's burning into your mind that requires you to use a PC while brushing your teeth, shaving the cheeks or putting your contacts on?

NO, they won't. Typpo!

No, I don't think they won't ever succeed.
Oracle is as deep in CPU technology as Berlusconi is deep in reliability.
Maybe it'd read "SUN, an Oracle acquisition, will demo a new T4 Sparc CPU".
As the underground tunnel between Swiss and Italy is not finished yet.
Indeed.
Sigh! :-(
I thought that Anglo-Americans were famous for their unparalleled humor.
Italians do it better, especially politicians!

They won't ever work again. Too floppy.
Neat, indeed!
There's also step no.3 to have anything transmitting on GSM/3G and step no.4 to make anything an iPhone.
And it's so much better than Oracle stuff, whatever you call it.
Because you cannot ask the wolf to watch over your sheeps!
Glad to serve you, Sir.
But I was serious.

No, you can only transform screens (in the sense of "device to display pictures and text") into touchscreens.
TP-Link WR1043ND where you can load also a choice of other firmwares.
And it's cheap!
You cannot transform anything into a touchscreen, if it's not a screen!
You insensitive clod!!!
Don't think so.

For C++ I would suggest Qt.
For C I would suggest Minix3.

Microsoft will buy Yahoop before Google does it.
Then why not listening an old fashioned FM radio for anything but email?
