Yes, I'd rather be in Australia where they try to ban any access to any "objectionable" (defined by the government) content. Or France, which made Yahoo remove any Nazi auction items (yes, Nazi's bad). Or China, where all internet content can be censored by the government.
You get my point? Yes, there is a bunch of stupid crap going on right now, mostly due to tons of liberal and/or stupid judicial appointments recently, but this will swing back into the rational spectrum in the next few years. That is the real beauty of the US, stupid decisions usually don't last very long, especially when it starts impacting on the public in general.
One thing that is not mentioned in the article is pipeline length. Intel ramps speed by extending the pipeling- P4 is at 21 (or is it 28, I forget) while the G4 PPC is at 7. People worried about this because the G3 has a 3 or 4 step pipeline. Shorter pipelines emphasize more work done per clock step, while long pipelines do less per clock tick and try to do a lot of pre-emptive execution, which can lead to total execution failure (side effect that makes 1.4GHz P4 slower at Word than 1GHz P3). A short pipeline reduces pre-emptive failure, plus can achieve a 1:2 up to a 1:4 ration for work/clock tick. This means that a 500MHz PPC can do the same as a 1GHz x86, or up to a 2GHz x86 depending on the task. Of course this is theoretical, but I hope you see my point about the relative merits of pipeline depth.
Err, no. At the same price point, you buy lower power consumption and heat dissipation, a shorter pipeline constuction, and a whole lot less cludge. What you get is more "stuff" with less quality components. I don't think I have ever heard of a PPC ever burning out- but I have heard many times of x86 chips frying. Fry once = higher costs.
Yup, I am sure there are millions and millions (even billions!) of people waiting to home build their own systems. Not the market that IBM (workstations and the like) Apple (consumers) or Moto (embedded devices) are going after. You don't see a huge home built Alpha market, do you?

This morning, I caught this article on MSNBC about our Republican whitehouse wanting to seize private property to give it to electric companies
("Sorry Bob, but it's been a rough couple of months for PG&E executives and shareholders. It's only fair that we take your farm to help them thru the tough times.")
Did you even read the article? Some people may be forced to SELL their property so new transmission lines can go in. Same thing they always did with new highways. Yeah it sucks, but don't make it look like the government wants to give farms to electric co. executives!
Sad part is, some of the real-life stories I have heard are worse than this story. Bad business ideas, bad hirings, bad money spending. I can't wait for the next computer/network revalation to hit so I can 1) put my money in early and get the (inflated) earnings out early 2) watch and laugh as the same mistakes are made again.
At the time I wondered if I should make the dotcom leap into the "big money." Decided that it wasn't stable enough, stayed where I was, and got a 19% raise in Dec. '99 from my current employer for a job well done, but mostly because they were scared to lose me! With a little patience and insight (or luck?) I still have a job with benefits and seniority, and a kick ass raise to boot (no pun intended).
Or you could go to the local library to access the 'net, just like my wife did before we got married. And, are the poor really going to spend $20/month to get 'net access, or however much AOL costs now? The techno-illiterate are probably not going to know any ISP besides AOL, much less the few reamining free ISPs.
Look at the ages of the Reps and Senators, then factor in that most of them are layers, and there is a nifty combo for near zero IT intelligence. Must people over 40 or so, with little or no previous computer experience, probably find the current incarnation of computers and the 'net something akin to sorcery. Is it really a wonder that these folks don't have 1/100 the IT knowledge most of the people here do?
guarantees my schedule is always changing. While I have to bill 40 hours per week, this week is almost totally charged to admin (overhead). Consequently, I am actually spending more time in the office because it is relaxing, I have a faster 'net connection, and I can work on a hobby.
Compare this to a short but intense project that may take 35 hours for the week, but is mentally tiring. Then it's 9-5.
And sometimes I work weekends, 2nd and/or 3rd shifts, and other weird stuff. But I'm still young with no kids, so this kind of thing is ok for me.
Happened to me, too. Moderator twice in 3 days. Weird. I only mod up, however, rather than waste my points on goatsex fecal freaks.
Actually, it's pretty funny since I normally read at +2, and occasionally go all the way down to -1; it's like pulling away the carpet and seeing the garbage under the floor.
What will happen to a slave-based economy when robots and advanced artificial intelligences replace everybody, i. e., when human labor, knowledge and expertise become worthless?
And don't think for a minute this won't happen in your lifetime.
I think you have been reading WAY too much Asimov! Or maybe Blade Runner?
We should all demand a system where everybody is guaranteed income property, a piece of the pie. There is plenty for everybody.
There already is in the US. Something like 45% of the federal budget is used for "social programs" like welfare, medicaid, medicare, and social security. That is almost $1 BILLION dollars of handouts.
Capitalism gives property to a few and enslaves the rest. It's sad. The land should not be divided for a price. It should be an inheritance for us and our children and their children.
Last time I checked, my neighbors owned their property, not the government. And I'm pretty sure that their kids will get that land when they die. Of course, I am against the inheritance tax.
It's the only way to guarantee freedom in a world where human labor is about to go the way of the dinosaurs.
Watch out for those hoards of robotic monkeys which will be constructing roads and houses!
Intellectual property laws exist only because we have a slavery system. Our livelihood depends on working for others so we can pay our taxes. The reason that we have to work for others is that 99% of people have been deprived of an inheritance in the wealth of the land. Income property is owned by a few and the state. The others are slaves.
Slavery? If you want, you can go live Unibomber style out in the wilderness. No taxes to pay out there! Ah, but you want your shiny things to play with, don't you? But, you would rather that someone else just gave you the shiny things instead of having to work to earn enough to be able to buy the shiny things. You are free to attempt to gain your shiny things any way you want (legally- stealing is bad)- work for someone else, work for yourself, build your own shiny things, try magic, beg on the street, whatever.
So if you had land, how exactly would you be a thriving idependent person? Selling apples, I presume. If you want land, go buy some! Open a newspaper and read the several pages of property listings. Really, the state will not prevent you from buying any! Of course, now that I and my friends own land, we are set to retire. Except that we still want to eat, heat our abodes in the winter, etc.
Artists, programmers and inventors depend on their work to make a living. Can we blame them? We all depend on our labor because we are all slaves.
So exactly who does not make a living by working? If you are rich enough to live off of the interest, you could. But you had to earn that money in the first place. Or if you inherited it, some ancestor at some point had to earn it. No one grew a magical tree of money. We depend on labor because your wry wit is not enough to make people give you money.
So now we are swimming in a ocean of laws and rules that take away our remaining liberties, one by one.
This I actually agree with. Too many laws already.
Demand liberty! Nothing less.
I do. I just don't demand free property and handouts so I can sit on my ass all day because I won't work hard enough to buy the things I want.
I read this article and threads, and we have a whole lot of people bitching about licenses and somantics...
Shall we compare Apple's Darwin with Microsoft's Kerberos implementation? What license did MS change Kerberos? I know that this issue was posted here before, but compare MS to Apple for a reality check.
Yup, Apple MUST REALLY SUCK! They don't use the CORRECT license... hahhahaahha... idiots....
Ha ha ha ha ha! You are joking, right?(!) NT has only bested Linux in ANY TEST that was run by a company/interest/group sponsored by Microsoft! Ahh, hell, Microsoft MUST be impartial, right?
Anyway, if you actively seeking out info or entertainment, is this any different from watching TV? If all you are doing is mindlessly jumping from site to site, then you probably have a problem. In that case, moderation is key.
For myself, I spend many, many hours on the 'Net, but a lot of that time is related to work, and most of the rest of the time is for info (sport scores, news, movie reviews, etc.). Am I addicted if I spend x amount of hours on the 'Net collecting this info I want, as oppossed to 2x hours collecting it from newspapers, TV news, magazines and the like? Nah.
If you are having second thoughts about the time you spend typing on/., get up and give the wife a kiss, pet the dog, and play catch with the kids for a while- trust me, you'll feel better!
Wonderful, 1 real post and 9 posts by some guy with a fecal fetish...
Anyway, the problem about the whole moon landing "hoax" is that those people who believe in the hoax will not be satisfied until you actually take them to the moon. Even then, I'm sure that they will try to figure out a way that we faked even their own trip! Without really knowing, I would guess these people have about zero scientific knowledge, and therefore have decided that there is no way we could get to the moon, despite the relatively simple Newtonian mechanics behind the whole thing.
So you know everything about networking, and years ago to boot? Tell me how to upgrade a Manhattan office building to a unified voice/data network with VoIP, voice mail, live video streaming, and remote access capabilities. This is what we are designing for one of clients.
Ever set up a network with 20k nodes? Ever distribute software remotely to 90k nodes? Networking at the corporate level is a bit different from your home's LAN.
You may want to be in the industry for a bit before you start spouting how easy IT jobs are, even the "easy" ones like designing Microsoft's web site, setting up AT&T's WAN, and administering Sprint's Internet backbones.
Yup,a rifle manufacturer should be blamed when someone takes that rifle (created for the sport of hunting deer, or are you anti-hunting, also?)and somehow (accidentally or purposefully) kills someone? Of course, the inanimate object had a willfull desire to eliminate a life, correct? No. "Oh my (insert whatever deity), that weapon just killed my best friend!" Or is it, "Oh my (same), that person took that chair and drove it through my friend's skull!" Where is the difference? That's right, in the first example an inanimate object happened to kill a person; in the second example a person deliberately did a harmful action to another person. So, do guns perform these harmfull actions all by themselves, or do they need a human component to fire the bullet? When did you hear of a gun spontaneously firing and killing someone? Ah, never? How about someone (kid, adult, monkey) playing with a (illegally) loaded gun and hurting/killing someone?;
I feel fit to use my illegal fully automatic machine gun to chew your family to little tiny bits. Must be the manufacture's fault, right? Cool, I'll be out of jail in about 9 years (average jail sentanence for murderers).
Very nice I can blame someone besides me for pulling the trigger... so, where do you and your family live?
(For legal reasons, I must state the following... all of the above is stated for an educational excercise in responsibility management. All comments are not meant in a literal respect, but rather as a thought excercise.)
To comment on the above- our society has now reached the point where free speech is so restricted that we no longer have free speech. Constitutionally, we have the right to say pretty much anything, but the legal fees involved when protecting that speech when it annoys a large corporation is so large as to effectively squash the dissenting party.
Did anyone notice that the Macworld article said that "Mac OS 8.5 and above" was protected? Now, I may be reading too much into this, but isn't OS X a totally different system from the previous OSs? Therefore, OS X is not included? Of course, I may be wrong, but no where in the article or the commentary was "open source"(except in the title to provoke responses), "Darwin", or "OS X" mentioned specifically.
The MacThemes link posts a page explaining what the themes projects is. Nary a mention of any problems with Apple (banner says Open Magazine > Question Exchange > Slashdot.Org). So where is their supposed greivance?
Once again, a bunch of crap verbage without any evidence.
I am a contractor that works with CECOM (Communications Electronic Command) and its affiliates. Anyway, there is a whole Digital Division project going on where the Army is trying to implement ABCS (Army Battlefield Control System) distance learning in a virtual battalion TOC (Tactical Operations Center). Basically, hook up 10 different classrooms across the country, 1 for each system, and play war! And I got to do the technical network analysis...ick.
Yes, these systems run on a special version of Solaris. And for you hacker types out there, some of my teammates use Linux boxes to red team (run attacks against) these military systems.
As for access to secret websites, some are password restricted but the higher up ones need to be accessed from a.mil domain. Beyond that is NIPRNet access only, and classified networks can only be accessed through SIPRNet.
Microsoft has decided to move to Mac OS X, while Linus believes that Windows ME 0.3 is the future of all computing. In un-related news, Sun loves AMD and SGI is may as well be dog-humping SCO. Steve Jobs has jumped in bed with the new Amiga company, and HP-UX will now be called BeOS. Wall Street has collectively commited suicide, and the American public pretty much just yawned, except for the 145 day traders who strung themselves up by the privates.....
I've heard this before, and I'll keep hearing forever...
Wireless has more fundamental physical limitations than fiber. Basically, you trade off distance for data rate. And the spectrum is getting pretty full. The only way to increase your BW is too increase your frequency, and over air you can't do just whatever you want, as opposed to fiber where you can use whatever freq. you want.
I will not admit I am breaking any law- every single song I have downloaded on Napster I already owned. It was easier to download the songs than trying to dig through all my discs to find the ones with the correct songs.
So take you %99.9 crap and shove it- unless you have talked to every Napster user out there.
Yeah, I AM in the %0.1 (supposedly), but now I am getting screwed because you "get your music illegaly because you are lazy and cheap". Thanks, I appreciate you screwing my legal rights.
