Reading the reviews of this part, it's obviously just a really overclocked part (yes i know all processors are created equal, some just run reliably faster than others) They are really pushing the die to get this processor to run at 1133 Mhz.. using 2 of the mainstays of overclocking.. a LARGE heatsink (did you see the pics?) with 2 fans, and increasing the voltage the processor runs at. Anyone could have done that stuff, but the microcode issue Tom talks about is just wierd/suspicous... unless its a multiplier problem, the same processor that runs (underclocked) at 850 Mhz fine with a given microcode, should run fine at its full rated speed with said microcode version.. do you think they are deactivating processor features to save heat as Tom seems to insinuate? I'm eager to hear from the rest of the slashdotters on this...
Either way the first 2 issues show that Intel is really struggling to get product out the door at or above 1Ghz... they should have just sanely clocked these puppies and sold them as Gig models instead of going to crazy lengths to get an maginary victory in the CPU wars
So if it's not positive about Linux it absoluteley *MUST* be FUD? This ask slashdot is really clutching at straws... someone, please tell me it isn't true, tell me this bench mark is a bunch of crap?
Some major game publishers (Electronic arts for one) are moving to publishing games in those little plastic folders DVD movies come in. This is definately a step in the right direction, especially with games that never include a book-like manual. Regular software should do the same thing!
The announcement is not clear on what everyone here is assuming. Does opening up a protocol also mean AOL is letting everyone use their IM servers? I mean just cause you know the FTP protocol doesn't mean you can use my FTP server!
get off your high horse.. kids don't care if they can get the source code, or if they can run it on an Alpha workstation.. sure it might be nice if it would at least run under linux, even in binary form. There is NOTHING wrong with a program like this being propiatary and closed source.
This is so dumb, anyone can drop crap down a stairwell. The MIT hacks are creative, and mostly non-destructive as well, like putting a police car on the roof, or making a building look like R2D2. Any retard can drop stuff down a stairwell. Not to mention that most of the stuff on the site seems to have happened in 1993 for crying out loud!
it already is a problem: this is why one of the mars probes kept going off course (the one with the unit conversion error) It only had one array of solar panels, so the solar wind produced an asymmetrical force (moment) on the probe and the gyros had to counteract it... I read this in the IEEE magazine a while back.
ok, not quite the same thing, but everyone else was sharing what various companies are using... I noticed last time i was in Compusa that they are running Java on their registers, but then again each register had a pretty big resemblence to a computer... nothing thin about those clients!
From what I read, they used to use assembler on the ancient 1970s CPU they had in there. One of the reasons on the NASA site for the CPU upgrade to 486s is that it is cheaper and easier to maintain code in C (well some "high level language" than assembly.
I agree I hate instrusive advertising. I remember some company (HP perhaps) had that cool ad a while back where you could play pinball in the ad in Java. That was a cool ad. Not Intrusive, but fun!

wow that Metastream stuff is really cool. A gee-whiz kind of neat I haven't seen in a while..
The 3d models look really real...

the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 is strangely enough in April 2000, so the game isn't really delayed at all!

oops I meant Pong!
