The press release doesn't matter. The development tools do.

"The term x86 is a generic term used throughout this book to refer to the class of microprocessors manufactured by Intel. This book uses the term x86 as a synonym for IA-32 (Intel Architecture 32-bit)." ""x86 Equivalent Instructions for AltiVec Instructions" lists C intrinsic routines that are equivalent between the two architectures."
It is feasible that apple can update to x86-64 but that is very very different than Itanium2!
Good points, but I have a question.... isn't the term 'fascist Nazis' incorrect? The term 'fascist' means a member of the fascist party, not the Nazi Party, which although allied, were quite different.
Saying 'fascist Nazi' is kind of like saying 'Libertarian Communist' or 'Conservative Liberal'.
Objective C++ is Objective C that supports C++ as well. files with the suffix '.mm' are Objective C++.
Also, the phrase 'c++ ISA objective language' is controversial. C++ is a multi-paradigm language. Object oriented programming is one of the areas it is poor in.
Anyways, remember that the CSS stress test fix that was recently done by apple was a modification of khtml, not WebCore.
KDE should change their license if the patches from apple are a problem for them to understand or manage. Perhaps they could write into the license something like "Any changes to the khtml source code must be limited to patches no longer than X lines of code with accompanying hand-holding documentation."
What did these same people do when Microsoft Office or Outlook screwed up? Did Microsoft fix the problem in a short period of time? Or did they say 'This problem might be fixed in next year's version'?
There already has been made a red-neck hillbilly banjo version of NiN's "Closer", (the "I Wanna F*** you like and animal" song). It changes the meaning completely!

The thing that burns me about cvs is the lack of proper handling of branches & dates at the same time for cvs updates and diffs:
Here is more info
That alone is good enough for me to switch to subversion, but I've found the switch to subversion (pre ffs) really problematic and so s-l-o-w (almost unusable) via the apache module.

Slashdot Mirror
Everyone else here is wrong! It proves that Windows XP has a NEGATIVE value!
We've actually always known this.

If your disks are used for swap space, all that is needed is to commit the memory of all the processes to the swap space before powering down.
--jeff++
This is incorrect. As explained above, the check is in the generated code. The grandparent is correct, it creates bloated code.

I'm in canada. The irony abounds. Oh well, I gues I'll just view it via a proxy!

haha! oops, yes.
thanks, my fault.

It is called: make -j 4

How come so many people in this thread don't know the difference between IA64 and Itanium2 ????
--jeff++
I'm sure apple will ultimately include x86-64 in their lineup. But it would make no sense for them to utilize itanium2.
--jeff++
Absolutely not. The new macs are x86, and only x86 not itanium. Read the info from apple.
jeff
That is very very mistaken. Apple IS embracing x86. With the new xcode 2.1 from Apple:
gcc -arch i686 -arch ppc hello.c
686, ppc, ppc64 are the only options for the new compiler.
--jeff
Yes, good step in the right direction.
But don't worry, the KHTML guys will complain about Objective C++ and the Qt replacement next.
--jeff
There were never any gpl violation wrt khtml.
Konqueror guys didn't like the patches from apple.
Looks like they could handle these patches, though! good for them.

Really? Can you point me to info on this?

In the case of standalone powerpoint 'executables', it is true...
The whole system is broken, not just IM.

One thing I realized... Did every single trek series have episodes about space-nazi's?

Is there ANYWHERE in North America that has a true free market for broadband internet service? Aren't most places government mandated monopolies?
You can't be saying that the "free market works extraordinarily well" when there IS NO free market, and no real competition for broadband!
