Even if discount the nasty ISA of the x86 there is still the problem of instruction scheduling. I would love to see some benchmarks of minuetOS vs say Linux.What an OS is written in is less import than performance.
Sears probably owns a good number of KMarts as well. Sears Auto Centers is something I almost forgot about existing. The two old Sears/KMarts in my town stood vacant for years until a college took over one and Burlington Coat Factory took over the other one.
Actually that bomb them was a pretty popular idea at the time. We had spent all this money on nukes so why not use them. Russia.USSR didn't have anyway to get a nuke to the US at that time. Sure they could have possibly nuked Europe and Japan but would they trade bombing Europe for the US bombing Russia/USSR? Not likely. What he got the boot for was publicly fighting the civilian authority over policy. AKA the war in Korea. LeMay also didn't like the strategy in Korea but he kept his mouth shut. The Military is under citizen control. You elect the people that tell the military what to do. The president is the commander and chief. If the President says do x a general can not then do y without getting court marshaled. "Most citizen opposed it, but the president and CIA were for it." Umm no. You did not get into a less than 50% approval rating until more than two years into the war. Even then the approval for the war or lack of approval does not equate directly to approval for a unilateral withdrawal.
No. I am not worried about the mil doing an attack on US citizens. I am not that worried about a crash with nukes. They have much better safety systems than they had in 1961 and they are not supposed to fly them at all. I am more worried about the lack leadership in the nuclear forces. I love how people like pretend the military is not under the control of the civilian government. The President is Commander and Chief so the buck stops their and always does. That is why MacArthur got the boot.
Actually no. That was back in 1961 when SAC flew airborne alerts and probably long before you where born. You do not think people learn? Besides I was replying to the implication that the a drone would be targeted at someone in the US. As to worry? The weapons that drones carry at least to day are small compared to what manned aircraft carry. On a good note the US and USSR have an agreement to not fly nukes in their warplanes in time of peace. That is one of the reason for the freak out when a B52 flew with cruise missiles from Barksdale to Minot. The warheads where supposed to be removed but where not. That kind of error is worrisome at best.
Sorry but you got your bias on the wrong side of the isle. It is because I do care about protecting the artists and that I try to force create people to fit in my conservative view point that I resent their indulgence in private jets, hookers, and blow. Hollywood owns the Dems. It is the Telecoms and cable companies that own the Republicans.
1. Do you know how rarely aircraft fly with live air to ground ordinance in US air space? Live fire practice is actually pretty rare and the bad PR of an F-16 fully loaded with bombs crashing into a shopping mall is very hight. 2. Why is it any more likely to happen with a drone than a manned aircraft and the federal government has had them for a century now. 3, You do know that it is man at the controls when a drone fires correct? Just like in a manned attack aircraft. So runaway fear is alive and well on slashdot.
ANG actually often function as Air Force reserve units. The ones along the boarder with Canada used to specialize in air defense aka interceptor missions back in when the US actually cared about defending it's air space but more than a few have been attack units for a long time. Just think of them as reserve units.
DEC had a microprocessor PDP-11 in 1975. They had the F11 CPU by the time the PC came out and the J11 by 1983. It did not have to be made out of commodity chips as DEC could have offered to second source their CPU and make them commodity chips.
I agree but some of the conclusions are a bit optimistic or pessimistic depending on how you look at it. The simple truth is the sun is several billion years old and we have data that covers only a part of it's life. We have also not had the chance to study a star like the sun in detail over it's life. I doubt it will do anything too odd but there is a big pile of we do not know here. Which makes me happy.
True take DEC for example. They could have produced an cheap PDP-11 for the same price as the IBM PC and done it before the PC launched. They didn't because they did not want to destroy compete with their own products. IBM could have made the PC use the same ISA as the 360 series mainframe. The model 20 shipped with as little as 4k in the early 70s so it could have been the basis for the PC. IBM might have ended being IBM, Intel, and Microsoft if they had sold CPUs and OSs to other makers as well as making their own computers. Again they did not want to drop a high profit line for a lower margin line.
Sears had everything in place around 1920. Sears big failure was that it had decided to move away from catalog sales and into more stores. They started to build stores like crazy because WalMart and KMart where moving into small towns and medium sized towns where getting Malls with anchors. Ordering from the catalog was a pain and people only did it when they had no option. It is too bad that Sears did not see what the Internet could do before they pretty much scrapped their mail order business. Sears didn't need to become Amazon. Sears needed to stop Amazon from becoming the Sears and Roebuck of the 21st century.
Actually this is a bigger deal than you think. I remember when you had to pay extra to get a floating point processor. Most software worked really hard to use integers when ever they could since they could not depend on an FPU being in most systems. By having a GPU as part of the CPU more software will start to use GPU computing to speed up things like transcoding and even spreadsheets http://slashdot.org/story/13/07/03/165252/libreoffice-calc-set-to-get-gpu-powered-boost-from-amd. We all know that GPUs can speed up a lot of operations but developers don't want to put in the work because not everyone has them.
I would say yes. Unlike QT it uses Native Widgets so it looks more like a native app than a QT or GTK app does. It was also pretty light weight as well. The fact that Audacidy uses it means that it is important enough. If you are a developer and are interested in multi platform it is really worth the time to explore.

Department stores can live on what Amazon can not do well. Things you really want to see and touch before you buy.

Because Disney doesn't make any money on old movies. People that do not want copyrights to be short do not own any.
Well hopefully OpenCL can solve this.

QT is not light at all so WX.
It is also pretty light not as light as the FLTK but still pretty light.
A. This is news for nerds.
B. Click on the supplied link.
It is a cross platform UI toolkit that defaults to native widgets.
I didn't say they avoided giving money to government employees I said avoided paying taxes.
And you would be wrong.
That is not the court's opinion and that is what counts.
