A computer of 16-bits or any arbitrary size can emulate a computer of 128-bits or any other arbitrary size with no difficult (especially at an inifinite clock speed.) It just make take more than one instruction to do the same thing.
But really look at PAE. While it allows a computer to have more than 4 GB total, it doesn't allow for any one process to address more than the 4 GB total, regardless of the total amount of memory in the system, since the largest memory pointer any one program can have is still 32-bits long. PAE doesn't get around that restriction for the process. (It's important to remember an OS's idea of a process is inherently built into the processor its self.) And with 64-bits all programs can automaticly take advantage of the new address space, just not programs specificly written with the PAE hoop-jumping in mind.
And for the "new IO" features of 64-bit computers, are there any? I doubt it since, they've already been applied to the 32-bit lines of computers and slipped into the newest chipsets for the 32-bit computers. Intel and AMD both continue to introduce new items like PCI-X and Hypertransport into their "older" 32-bit lines when ever they jump processes or major models. (You're still not running with the same IO systems on the 386 on your P4 now are you?)
PAE was really just a temporary stop gap to fill the void until Intel made its 64-bit processor. The only real reason for going to 64-bits is memory addressing.
An even better example would be MMX, SSE and SSE2 on the curret 32-bit x86 machines. All three of can process numbers that are 128-bits long. Sadly more and more machines will need to address more than 4 gigs of data at once, forcing the move to 64-bits for addressing.
For example notice how Windows 2003 is not Windows.NET Server 2003.
I'd always just assumed that it was without the.NET because Microsoft still has no idea on what.NET actually is and therefor didn't want to be locked down to one specific item that would be.NET.
NFS doesn't use full path names but compressed unique ID called cookies for each file. And it usually generates these cookies as the files are being accessed You'll get a "stale nfs handle" when the machine reboots, the old cookie (kept by the client) is now no longer known to the server. Remounting fixes it because the client will ask for new cookies starting at the file system root and forget all the old cookies.
Couple hundred BBS's all over the world, it was amazing, early version of the Internet.
Too bad the internet was already 10-15 years old at this point. WWIV is like an emulation of something that already existed, it's just no one knew about it.
Execpt that the insurgants are probably don't require any electronic equipement at all. To do what they do only requires someone to be there and want to cause damage. One doesn't need to communicate with radios, just go up to your fellow insurgant and say hey lets bomb something or hey lets shoot something up. Sadly most bombs and AK-47's do not have any electronic parts in them at all.
And even if the US equipment was "hardened" some of it would undoubtly fry anyway as it became "unhardened" due to use and maintaince. Causing the soldiers to freak out as all of a sudden things stopped work.
An EMP would only work against an enemy that was designed to fight like we fight. Lots of large tanks and planes and tons of electronics. If someone fights in another style, an EMP and for that matter a lot of the US weapons systems turn into useless junk. There are stories on how "battle simulations" go horrible haywire when someone decides to do things like stop using radios.
And don't get me started on how bad of a PR move that would be. Blowing up all the radios and TV's of the regualar Iraqis. Yea, that's how to win them over to our side.
Then Intel would sue the employee for all their worth and probably then some. Even if you get fired you're still required to protect the trade secrets you had access to while working at a company, especially if you signed something when you started working there.
Except if you knew that your friend only obtained the information under NDA, you would still be sued for releasing information that you knew was a trade secret even though you didn't sign the NDA. I know the whole idea sucks, but that is how the trade secret protection laws are written.
If you didn't know the information was under NDA, fell happy to know that Intel's legal department will bury you and the project anyway. That and in either case your friend will be spending a lot of quaility time in the court system and talking with lawyers.
Actually the poor are well fed, the middle class goes hungry by choice so they can all look slimmer. It's the mixed up world that has been created by the media. Black is White and we've always been at war with Eastasia.
Married with Children was just cancelled. It suffered from out living the executives that put it on the air. Those who were in charge of the network at the time it was cancelled were 2 generations of executives removed. The new executives were trying to kill the show and started moving it around and the just randomly said there was no longer a viewership and axed it in between the seasons without warning. A number of the main actors found out over the radio and not from Fox its self.
OS 9 is the name of the operating system, similar to Windows, Linux, or BeOS. 9 does not refer to the version which is why it could be trademarked. As a result, Apple was prevented from calling their version 9 as OS 9 to avoid confusion. As a result the OS is always refered to as MacOS 9.

I think Intel was trying to modify their icc compiler to compile the kernel. Not by modifying the kernel per se, but by adding the gnu extensions into icc. I don't know if they succeeded or are still trying.
GnuCash is in a weird state where it's really a personal finances program but the authors are trying to make it a small business system. And are failing at it, (while making the program less and less usable for personal finance situtations.)
Here's a radical thought, just boot DOS and play the game. No emulation needed. The machine will stil lrun regular old DOS in 16-bit mode without a problem. It just won't mix 16-bit and 64-bit code together any more.
Why were there more than 3 people in the ISS crew before but there can only be 3 now?
The crew was orginally desinated to have 7 people full time, but a lack of life boats dictated that the number be limited to the size of the the Soyez crew. The only times when there were were more than three people on the station is when the shuttle was visiting or the old Soyez was being rotated out. There would be 7 from the shuttle and 3 who lived on the station full time or 3 from the station and 3 from the rotating Soyez. That way it allowed for everyone to escape in case of an emergancy. Now, the number of station staff has been reduced to 2 people since the shuttle is no longer hauling cargo on a bi-monthly basis.
Errr... Junkyard wars has been on Wednesday's at 8 central for quite a while. TLC isn't as crazy as FOX. Their weekend schedule changes (Sundays are always different), but the weekday schedule is fairly constant.
Yea, except this is a straight civil case between IBM and SCO with another case between SCO and Redhat. SCO will have to tell someone in court what code infringes. I doubt IBM/Redhat would then agree to let that matter to be sealled.
What exactly is the "non-SCO" stuff. They haven't told anyone what stuff supposedly infringes, so backporting it all back to 2.2 would be very, very hard. Then they'd claim you screwed up and back ported their stuff anyway.

Farscape was much more subtle lets hope they keep that edge in the new Farscape SciFi is producing.....
Luckily, SCI-FI has nothing to do with the new Farscape. It's produced by Henson alone.

It's the death of any show on Fox. Since early in its run it'll always be interrupted by baseball.

It won't happen, because VC's usually will request 75-100%.
The ice ages do have some meaning - they weren't random events that happened due to man not burning fossil fuels.
Do you have any evidence to prove this to be true? Yea I thought so. Man did cause the ice ages and you know it.
