That is unless you're too blind to read the numbers next to the bars. I've seen hardware review sites do this as well. I don't think that anyone who is seriously evaluating this chip is going to 1) take the benchmarks on AMD's site as the end-all be-all and 2) be seriously swayed purely by the length of the green bar.
The memory was not crippled. The concern is that the latency numbers on the A64 are too GOOD. Apparently the units of measurement are important in calculating things like this and might need some extra tweaking to account for discrepencies in clock speed.
Well the important thing here is how fast they can ramp up the CPU speed. If they can get it up to 3 3.5 GHz it will undoubtedly be a monster at those speeds, but as we all know, there are some operations where architecture can't replace raw GHz.
I also understand that the pipeline is a bit longer so I wonder if this decreases the IPC of the chip in comparison to the AXP or whether the other enhancements like the memory controller and HT link make up for that.
Does anybody who knows what they're doing actually pay for Microsoft?
Seriously, NDS rules directory services. There is no question about that. If Novell can bring a good, stable NDS implementation to Linux then Linux will gain a LOT in the Enterprise.
The Zenworks imaging app (atg least the one in Zenworks 3) uses Linux and there is a concerted effort to port all of their utilities to Java so a backend conversion to Linux may be in the works.
Maybe sometimes (I've never seen this time)it's called taking, but most of the time it's called MAKING a copy. The only time I've heard of someone "taking" a copy is when somebody is handing out a flyer or something free.
Let me make this clear to you. The only way that you can STEAL IP is if you sell it as your own. If I release a song with somebody else's lyrics and music and pass it off as if it is my own keeping all profits. I am STEALING music. Copying is just that, copying. It's still illegal, but it is NOT stealing.
You don't copy the home directory up and down on Windows either. It maps to a server share. The PROFILE is what is uploaded and downloaded from the server. You can actually get around this by copying the profile folders that you care about to your home directory and editing the registry so that the entries for these folders (my documents, favorites, etc) are pointing to your home directory.
I can't say that I'm too wild about Bush but I have heard him say that expression of dissenting views is part of freedom of speech. He just basically is convinced that they are wrong. Which shows that there is a huge lag time between the freedom to say something about the government and those words starting any change once the government has made up its mind.
Looks like Mozilla still has the least buggy CSS support (going by number of flaws). Also note that NO browser fully supports CSS2.
I know that Mozilla at least partially supports CSS3 selectors. Here's a way to block ads using them.
Also, look no further than MSXML version 1 (pretty much useless now) for the problems with supporting drafts. Thankfully it's easily replaced.
We all have our reasons for using our web browsers but the only thing that I see Opera 7 having a clear advantage in (on the systems that I routinely use) is startup time. Everything else is negligible to me. But maybe that's just me.
The problem is that there are only 2 spam states in the Mozilla client: Junk and Not Junk. By default everything is not junk. As new mail comes in you mark the junk mail as such, everything not marked junk is assumed to be not junk. The only time that you'd ever have to mark something as not junk is when Mozilla accidently marks it as junk. So no, you're wasting your time marking a few hundred mails as not junk.
Besides, PCs in 1995 costed [sic] much teh same as now (with exceptions: the used market wasn't as proliferate as it is now), and Macs costed much the same, ie 2x the price of a PC.
PCs were significantly more expensive in 1995. If you told anybody about a $1000 PC (those didn't catch on until the K6 chips began to gain popularity in 1997 and 98) in 1995 without a monitor they would think that it was notably used or stolen. Don't confuse the relative cost of PCs to Macs with the relative cost of PCs today and PCs back then.
Also, the world didn't come close to leaving the command line behind in 95 because there were still tons of DOS apps back then, especially if you were a gamer. You just didn't have to see it when you booted (unless you pressed escape).
Try the Intellimouse Optical. It has buttons directly on the left and right sides of the mouse and works great no matter your hand orientation. It's just like the Kensington optical mouse except it arches much higher which makes it more comfortable (to me anyway).
Yeah but the cost of the platform (CPU / MB / RAM) is still cheaper with AMD, and for most people, the differences between the chips are academic. Not to mention the fact that Intel is probably going to force Yet Another Motherboard on you in the near future.
It is the platform of choice for design, sub-feature length film, and sound, with apps that have
nothing comparable on the Windows platform - no, Premiere is not comparable to Final Cut Pro, and I usually use Premiere, so I know).
You obviously have never heard of Sounic Foundry or Steinberg (who makes PC and Mac software). While I can't speak for video, I know that on the PC, there are tons of high quality music production apps that are at least as good as whats on the Mac - with the possible exception of a few overpriced protools parts.
The general sentiment that I hear from design guys is that In Design 2.0 is at least as good overall as QuarkXPress and works very well in Windows. So with that and QuarkXPress on windows, I find it hard to justify there being nothing comprable in that field either.
Yeah it's too bad that companies like Intuit would scream bloody murder. I seriously doubt that the current incarnation of US government would make such an anti-business move.
No... they aren't. Dreamweaver MX is light years ahead of Frontpage XP.
- SSH Support (though I have heard that a few people are having problems with it) - Code support (syntax highlighting and auto-completion as well as code generation - which should always be used with caution) for ASP, ASP.Net, ColdFusion, JSP, PHP - Ability to generate valid XHTML - Advanced page templates and database objects
That's only to name a few Dreamweaver advantages. Though Frontpage definitely displays CSS2 layouts better in it's visual editor, something that I hope tha embedding of Opera may fix (but I doubt).
Power Consumption and Self Shutdown were both addressed with the Palomino (Athlon XP) core.
Also I find it hard to understand how 1) a CPU that follows a published standard (X86) could be an emulator and 2) how this emulator can outperform a "pure" system at a slower speed? This could be due to my own ignorance though, please educate me.
They (MS) know better than anyone that applying an SQL Server hotfix is a royal pain in the ass. They just modified the initial Slammer vulnerability patch so that it has an installer. Before that you had to stop the server, backup the files, copy the new files manually into their respective directories, and then run a couple of queries in the query analyzer.
This and MS's reputation for having to patch patches (sometime 2 or 3 times) is why people don't jump at the chance to apply one of those damn things. It took this incident for them to make installing a simple SQL Server hotfix less than a 25 minute job.
I also downloaded SP3 4 times and every time I tried to run setup, I got a "setupsql.exe can not be found" error. I STILL don't have SP3 on my SQL server, but it's firewalled anyway so I'm not totally naked.

And the "impartial" western news agencies fell over each other trying to get copies of these Bin Laden tapes.

No it isn't. I've installed it (Win2K Pro) at least 50 times over the past couple of years. If you keep all of the defaults it will not get installed.
Well it's funny. The US government said the same thing.
That could just as easily be:
Which isn't so bad.
Ummmm... IIS is not installed by default on Win2K Pro either.
Uh that was 5 years ago. Apparently they have learned something since I haven't heard about it since.
Bloated? Subjective. Uncheck the components that you don't want to install.
Slow? Semi-Subjective. I don't know what type of CPU you have but it runs acceptably on a PII400 with 128 MB of RAM at my job.
Full of senseless features? Subjective and not even worth keystrokes to refute.
