Evolution has been disproven on many levels. One very good example of this is a human eye. The infinite complexity of this organ is beyond a doubt a stumbling stone in an evolutionary biologist's work.
Now please explain more. Are you telling me because the basic eye structure is present in so many varied beings that this presents a problem with evolution as a theory? I'm not attacking, just really want to know...
it is obviously apparent that humans are very structured beings, and to hold the second law of thermodynamics sacred, we would then have to say the human race did not begin with some non-living matter which gradually, over milennia, turned into what it is today. It just does not make sense.
What here are you arguing? That uncontrollable chaos in this system (presently) would preclude or include a more `structured' beginning? That would tend toward creationism, yet against it you argue? --
A lot of processors and architectures still have microcode, plus, you do not inherently have to put microcode in the processor itself, there can be another hardware layer implementing microcode.
A lot of things work this way...one can even argue that NT HAL code is similar, but the AS/400 SLIC code must be changed per architecture. On the move to PowerPC, the SLIC code needed to operate the PPC was re-written.
Many of these companies depend on their mainframe and AS400 databases for survival! The mainframe AS/400 world is nowhere near dead. Yes, many of these companies do depend on their iron and midranges for survival, but as you have partially said, an AS/400 is not a mainframe. It is a mid range business solution (and I emphasize `business') and does wonders with `client-server,' X Window, Java, Integrated x86 hardware for NT, and 5250; it absolutely sucks for any intense interactive (non-batch) processing. It is my belief that an AS/400 just can't be now considered in the old-school iron.
Thats why sensitive computers are not networked

I don't know if they have that command center under a mountain...
Been to Colorado Springs lately?;-) NORAD inside Cheyenne Mtn., sits adjacent to Pike's Peak. It was always `rumored' that their computers were not solid-state equipment to guard against EMF pulses, and upon asking them that on a tour, my question was prompty disregarded.
Orange book rules (or is it red book)...
I believe it's the Orange, and IBM seems to have the redbooks ;-)
And do they really want people to believe that they put sensitive nat'l security info on a system accessable by the World?

I am ignorant in the Intel CPU world. Although I have experience w/ MIPS and other simple RISC procs, I must be incapable of figuring out how MMX and what other Katmai instructions could aid in ``Central Processing.''
Should not these instructions and capabilities sit outside the CPU in ancillary chips (video/what else)?
How does this help in OS speed and capability? Is it that we can perform FP ops better amongst process context switches? I'm assuming graphical subsystems outside the OS.
...you can become more proficient and provide Unix resources to the employees and the company itself by installing Linux/UNIX for particular services.
I learned with Unix (Minix '87, SVR2 '85) that was running on public and corporate BBSs years ago, and after the degrees took a job in an NT shop. And just by extending my Unix eperience here, I have become the administrator of local, web, net, et al services via Linux/UNIX. I now have a data transaction system originally developed on Linux in the marketplace.
Start by looking at what services your company needs, take the initiative to provide the solution to that need using what Unix skills you have. All of sudden, you have something for your résumé.

Actually, a slight bit of diesel in the tank can do wonders. Don't discount diesel in a petrol tank!

Transmeta is talking about this at a chip level.

Right, and most computer geeks staring at a ~17" diagonal flat screen are in need of spatial and elliptical perception. :-)
If so, location?
Thanks...
