Umm...does anyone else think he's really not focused on running Apple like Steve did?
You mean as opposed to the guy who ran Pixar on the side? The guy who designed glass stairs for the Apple Stores? That totally focused on running Apple guy?
For performance applications that works really well, because the CPU designer can optimize higher level instructions to each CPU's specific architecture in a way that RISC makes more difficult because RISC instructions are much more atomic.
For example, Intel CPUs will take an instruction like "xor r, r" (clear register r) that would normally take one instruction cycle to execute, and optimize it to zero cycles with register renaming.
Congratulations. You have optimized away the NOP the programmer added to waste some cycles to attain a goal (like break a race condition), and broke his program. Clever things like that will always go around to bite you in the ass. Anybody remember Windows 95 breaking because the AMD K6-2 optimized the loop opcode (the very definition of a CISC operation) so that on faster CPUs a div-by-0 resulted in a driver's timing loop? No? Then you are doomed to make the same mistake. Microsoft fixed the timing loop and AMD actually made the loop slower again in the Athlon to make sure this never happens again.
A cpu that runs at 2x the rate beats another CPU but not in all cases? Do go on.
:) Assuming you're not trolling, here's an explanation.
That intel is an 1.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core m5-6Y54 Skylake processor. It has Turbo Boost up to 2.7 GHz.
And it is an m-processor that has been intentionally crippled to be slow and use little power.
And the A9x is a processor that has been intentionally designed to be fast and use even less power. So we can finally see that this is an obviously biased comparission - else the Intel chip wouldn't lose.
What really blew my mind was reading that Apple's biggest desktop customer is now IBM.
And according to this 3 year old article it was Google before them: "Google staff now can use Windows PCs only with a business case making the company the world’s biggest Apple shop with 43,000 devices."
You made it about the definition of the word "fair".
Stop lying, you stupid fucking bitch. You keep bringing up "fair", while I have been talking about "non discriminatory" - because you keep pretending that in "FRAND" "ND" has no meaning whatsoever (heck I can quote several of your posts where you declare that FRAND stands for "fair and reasonable.", nothing else) - because how else could you argue that FRAND patent deals don't have to be "non discriminatory".
"Now, with the publication of the “Hollywood Reporter’s 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media 2015,” Roger Ailes, the Fox News chairman and CEO, has confessed that his network, despite its name, is not actually in the news business. Belittling his cable news competitors CNN and MSNBC, he gave the Reporter a statement revealing his true professional aspirations:
“In fact, Ailes, 74, no longer views those networks as rivals. ‘We’re competing with TNT and USA and ESPN,’ he says.”
So it's already in Ireland? That should make it easier.
Well, when the country you are supposed to pay it to refuses to accept it, that is a pretty big problem. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-...
BTW, why is a failure to meet a Jan. 3rd deadline suddenly in the news? Even the EU bureaucracy isn't that slow.
Interesting tidbit: if they dumped the money in front of the Irish treasury as 500 Euro bills, that would be over 29 metric tons of paper, with a volume of about 34 cubic meters. It seems that would be slightly more than fits into a 20' shipping container - but you would need at least two anyway, because of the weight limit on trucks. So yeah, they could do that - if they can find somebody to sign the receipt. (http://www.fondations.net/weight-from-500-euro-note-informative/)
you mean like the people from LG who acknowledged the problem and made this suggestion?
Errm, no, it clearly was in answer to somebody calling whatever interacted negatively with the monitor a "router". But hey, not everyone RTFA - but they should when they needlessly nitpick.
The problem with patents and copyright is you basically stop other people from making a chair because somebody came up with it first. So they can charge an unfair price up until the point people will just sit on the floor,
So with patents, most people will just do what they did before you made an invention, until the patent runs out, then they can use it for free. Much better than you either having no incentive to make an invention, or keeping your invention a trade secret kept secrete with lethal force, like before patents.
"Non discriminatory" doesn't mean what you think it means either. There are plenty of ways to charge different rates that can be deemed "non discriminatory." For a more familiar example, look at affirmative action - that's the definition of discriminatory, and yet it's not considered discriminatory.
Why don
't you explain to me in no less than a thousand words? Failure to do so means you admit you are wrong.
Warm is vastly easier than cold. Larger mammals would just have been tasty snacks at the time, so we didn't see larger until niches opened up.
How would you know? Humans lived just fine during The Ice Age. They did not live during the hot periods you love so much - because you didn't actually live at the time - like all "conservatives" just love the times when they didn't have to live. Have you even read a biology book in you whole life? Are you aware that mammals, especially big mammals die when the overheat? Can humans evolve to have elephant's ears to cool down in the time fame you claim wouldn't be a problem? Will you continue to ignore the death tolls of the heat waves happening more and more regularly?
Better yet: when will you shut the fuck up with your idiotic claims you bring up again in every discussion even when proven wrong?
More importantly, did the original developer remember to file a patent on the process of locating wireless speakers through the use of signal analysis?
Only on Slashdot can people in seriousness claim somebody should get a patent on "finding wireless headphones" by simply displaying Bluetooth signal strength. Which at best finds you the room the headphones are in, not the headphones themselves.

The updated part, internally codenamed T310, is built using ARM technology ...
They are dangerously close to T800.
It's much closer to 133t.

It kinda looks like a vinyl record. Has anyone tried playing it yet?
It plays: "Because of the movie, the Monolith can now be found in orbit around Jupiter."

So I give you an example that contradicts your "point", and instead of addressing it, you post more bullshit? You got Trumpitis or something?
We are still talking about patents - you are the one trumping the discussion by changing the topic.

You don't have to be a complete moron to hate Apple - but it sure helps.
Apple just invented the floating wick candle
That's like saying the horseless carriage is a horse carriage. Because there is no fucking wick in that patent.
If it's widely used, why is Apple trying to patent it.
Because it's a new, better way to do it? You know, progress?
Further, Apple isn't a fab.
So? Does that mean they can't (or even aren't allowed to) improve the process their contractors will use to build the devices Apple designed?
Every time a company gets a new HQ, they seem to go downhill.
So what about a company that gets two new HQs? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=new+googl...
The patent can be found here. As some other have mentioned this cold be used for anything such as in manufacturing.
For pretty much anything but an e-cig. It's a container standing right up. Now maybe an e-pipe...
If the hamsters ate each other, clearly the study failed to make sure they ate an all-corn diet. Fail.

The definition of "fair" does not necessarily mean "the same price for everyone."
Quit talking about "fair" and look up the definition of "non discriminatory" before you look even dumber than usual.
