it was just not what... perhaps most, wanted to hear.
The very definition of useless. The theft question(s) in particular were very interesting, so I was annoyed to find no answers. The government seems to say that while I have all rights to the piece of plastic, I have very limited rights to the information encoded on that plastic. This question was simply trying to determine where that line is, and the responder was no help.
Likewise, the "I don't understands" were absurd; this lawyer works with music IP all day, but doesn't understand the basic technology?
I mean, it has background and everything. At least I assume so, I don't read that crap. Comic and blog are enough for me. But the Elemenstor thing has a story at least; P/A itself doesn't. Game is released, P/A makes fun of game, sometimes a little of the game's reality leaks into P/A's.
What's this game gonna be like, every level starts with the release of a new fake game? Maybe it'll be the game equivalant of 'Scary Movie'.
Not at all. AMD's cores have unique caches per core, plus they share the same memory bus. However, AMD put some effort into the crossbar. While Intel's early multicore offerings were essentially the same, there was no crossbar, so bus contention was a little worse.
Let me summarize your post (and the rest of Slashdot) for you:
Sniping never hurts, but sometimes helps. You will never get a bad deal when sniping, but you will sometimes get a good deal. Over the long term, you will come out ahead.
The people that sniping defends against are continuous incremental bidders -- who bid up small increments throughout an auction. Interestingly, this strategy always loses: You will either waste time bidding only to arrive at the same price a single early bid would have gotten you, or you'll pay more than you really want.
Is is that hard to drill 16 feet? If their weight budget is two TONS, surely they could build a drill to dig at least that far. I would think a small sample from 30 feet would be more valuable than a large sample from 16 feet.
Personally I wouldn't like to pin my hopes on a chip that has so much politics going on behind the scenes - I'd rather wait until all of this is sorted.
Yes, that's exactly why Sun is suing. By the time it's "sorted", Azul will be gone and you'll buy Sun's chip.
A NEW car? Not even close! One of these cards would hardly even cover one or two payments.
I know, I just got a new car. =^(
I know you want to think these are expensive, but after a couple thousand-dollar processors, a kilowatt powersupply, and the RAID array, they're pretty affordable.
Roughly negative ten years. The real problem is the chips that take 100w each, and from now on that's only going to get worse. Hopefully the gadgets will be made more tolerant of high temperatures, but for this gadget and every gadget you buy in the future, you will need to plan carefully for heat disposal.
No, "owners" is the correct word, but we're not talking about ownership of the piece of plasic that carries the music, we're talking about ownership of the music itself. The owner is the one that holds the copy rights. And many times, that's not the original creator.
add a couple lines to a text file to add another kernel to the list. That way you just leave your existing kernel hanging around until you get your home-made one perfected.
LILO's the same way, dude, no difference. In fact, I do that with Debian-installed kernels so I can be sure they're clean. I even have Memtest86+ in the list too.
Complex tasks cannot be automated on Windows using installed apps. If you want to automate something, you typically have to buy a product designed for scripting. But then you're held to the features of that product, and can't use the apps that are already installed.
The actress was a believable younger sister on the series, but she grew up way too fast. She's not old, but she's not the little girl she's trying to play.
Ground speed isn't that useful. With a high-res mouse, you don't need the speed. What counts is pixels per sec, not meters per sec. So they boost the sample rate to give you speed, but then boost the resolution to take away m/s. You get to keep the pixels/sec, though.
I have the Razer Diamondback, and find that I'm physically unable to outrun the mouse.
If the devs spent all their time on stability, then I'd agree that 1.0 could wait for a fully stable version. But they're working on major new features too, even though they should really wait for 1.0.
The other problem is that zero-point means "don't use this software." But with so many people releasing usable software with zero-point version numbers, it loses its meaning. Numbers are free, just call it 1.0. That will give you legitimate claim to a high version number when things are complete and stable.
Once you start releasing to users who aren't developers, call it 1.0 already. This zero-point stuff is just silly, especially considering how powerful and stable Inkscape already is.
The problem is that the review compared P4s to 3.6 GHz, Athlons to 2.6 GHz, and PMs to 2.5 GHz (yes, heavily overclocked.) The average spread between the P4 3200 and whichever chip made it to the top was 15%. I have trouble believing it myself, as I thought we were past that. But those charts only show 15%.
Even if I do get a 3700 and overclock it, the boost would not be enough to make a whole new machine worthwile.
Holy crapulation, the spread between the fastest chip and the slowest P4 reviewed is only 15%. Is the drought really this bad? If I try to upgrade my 2-year old 3.06 at work, I can only get maybe 20%.
How do I show this off? The point of a paper-thin clock is that people can *see* that it's paper thin. With the coloring and layering they chose, if I paste this on a wall, it'll just look like I sunk an LCD clock into the wall. Not very impressive.
'Tis all true. But high-density disks actually spun at half speed on the Amiga. The disk controller could only handle a certain bit rate, so the HD drives had to be slowed down.

The Core 2 series now has shared L2.

Very nice. Now what about the rest of Windows?
There's only one of significance:
Automation.
Complex tasks cannot be automated on Windows using installed apps. If you want to automate something, you typically have to buy a product designed for scripting. But then you're held to the features of that product, and can't use the apps that are already installed.

So I gotta hire a pastamancer now?

- That the universe is governed by rules.
- That the rules are ultimately knowable, though they may be hard to discover.
- That the rules generally don't change, except in accordance with other rules.
- That the rules are testable, verifyable, and falsifilable.
- That experiments can be duplicated (because rules don't change) and the outcome will generally be the same.
None of these things are provable, but I hold them as true anyway.If the devs spent all their time on stability, then I'd agree that 1.0 could wait for a fully stable version. But they're working on major new features too, even though they should really wait for 1.0.
