ok, I have to concede on the architectural differences between P4 and prescott (not because I know, I'm deferring to your knowledge). If this comparison had merely architectural features I would be more understanding of your point -- but the price and target market skew the comparison. Nobody is, because of this, "grasping at straws".
I'm not desperate to support AMD like you imply, I merely question the value of the comparison when the prescott chip isn't even being used.
If they wanted to make thier point they could have compared the intel chip with a more capable 739 or Opteron without having to hedge about architecture at all.
Maybe you can help me out if I have misunderstood something.
Well if we had a desktop chip this fast and if it was 64bit, we'd position it in the market against the Athlon64 3500+ by promoting benchmarks of the two just like this. Then everybody'd see how good Intel is.
The difference between Moore and those jingoistic fascists you compare him to, is that Moore's facts all turn out to be true (and suggestive of his conclusions) whereas those of Limbob and O'Really are merely assertions of their awful, divisive opinions, and often have been shown to be patently false.
Go see the movie, I urge you, and you will see things that were NOT televised after the election. Not only protests at the White House, but attempts within the house/senate to correct the vote frauds in Florida!
You've had 4 years to do something other than insinuate
If you had only gone to see Fahrenheit 9/11, instead of relying on Limbaugh and O'Really to tell you whether it's good or not (use your own judgment for Pete's sake) you would have seen that considerable effort was made, and you wouldn't dare make that accusation.
Forbes has a rather more critical article about this.
that Forbe$ article is by the very same rabid anti-Linux pro-Micro$oft zealot Daniel Lyons, who obviously is too confused about the issues to know what he really wants and resorts to badmouthing anything about Linux even when he contradicts himself.
This is the same guy that was badmouthing IBM last year for not indemnifying users for Linux. Hello Daniel, IBM doesn't indemnify its Windows users either! But I think it does indemnify AIX users, because it actually develops that OS. Ya dink.
And now (when lots of companies have weighed in with indemnification for Linux and you are silent) and this is extended to patent insanity... you freak again. What's wrong now, ya nutjob?

As long as Linux application developers continue to copy Microsoft, in a vain attempt to be "compatible," Microsoft will always have the edge. They will always set the pace for others to follow.
I used to think this, but you have to realize there is an upper bound to the rate at which MS can keep up with this tactic.
It's strongly tied to the tolerance of MS's userbase to the treadmill they find themselves on. MS has to keep them upgrading if they hope to continue to create problems for the clone makers.
So as a response to MS's "embrace and extend" it is about as equal to the task as you could hope for. The difficulties created for MS as it alienates its userbase are real. The only question is will they survive it. With >$40b in reserve it's a hard question to answer.
He didn't say take the tools away from the industry workers and scientists, but you probably knew that and just wanted to be an ass.
Teaching is an inefficient process if you are measuring your progress by technological progress, which you are implying with your broken argument.
He's saying teach the subject to the kid on the mechanistic level. Using a slide rule is an enlightening experience. Far more so than is a calculator, and it gives you an immediate graphical sense of what you are doing.
Even though we have seen kids learn difficult topic more easily by using a computational approach to learning, most instructors are reluctant to introduce these new ways of thinking into their curriculum.
Maybe because your "studies" are flawed and biased, because you are peddling a money draining proposition to an already beset educational system?
Maybe because other studies have shown that "advantages" to calculator/computer based "learning" disappear when you remove said tool from the poor victim^Wstudents hand?
Maybe because the simple formula of hands-on teaching, and LOTS of homework problems, is a time-honored proven formula to training young minds?
I'm not a luddite, I'm an autodidact (and college-educated... though that's not where I was taught the self-teaching skills. that was done in elementary/middle/high school but there you go) and I've NEVER, ever gotten any benefit from any canned teaching application. They stress context dependent, formulaic responses over conceptual understanding and rote practice.
Client: Law Office specializing in evictions Role: Subcontracted web-database development Project: automate printing, filling out of forms used to kick people out of their homes. Situation:
I was asked to modify some word documents with fields for automatic data entry. I told them I was a backend/interface guy and wasn't qualified.
They really wanted me to do it, or at least look at the job. I spent a couple hours looking at this hopelessly complex job (the documents were made by someone mad and any adjustment rendered them out of spec.)
The law company then screwed me out of fifteen hours of work claiming I wasn't qualified for the work I was hired for or something. I told them fine, and didn't work for them anymore, even on their database application.
They never completed their project, and now some other company is occupying that building.
They fit all those lawyer stereotypes I never took seriously (unlike any other lawyer I have met and had the pleasure of talking/arguing with -- except on the 'Net, and those were astroturfing for MS or whichever)
Why should I only be allowed to make money off of my great american novel for 20 years and then for the rest of my life, a bunch of knock-off publishing houses can redistribute my novel without paying me - yet they continue making money off of my work and product without any contribution or significant change to it *themselves*?
You obviously aren't an author. Ask Philip K. Dick what life as an author is really like.
Life is already like that for most authors, and besides, accepting material from "old" authors will not affect the ticket sales at the box office, or book sales. That's where the initial profit is and the reasonable profit. Refusing to let a culture do something creative with something that's become it's icon (like, mickey) is defiance of the culture, or an assertion of control over it.
Could this kill the plan before it has a chance to start?
No you dufus, it'll be killed by the fact Bush's 'visionary' space program is just
A way to rally support for the incumbent administration in its bid to occupy the White House
A dangling, shiny thing to distract NASA while the incumbent administration guts it of its former capabilities, hoping to take up the slack with private(ly administered) contracts.
A pretty lame attempt to look like a statesman (like Kennedy, for example)
as far as I know is Microsoft obliged not to enter the UNIX market due to earlier agreements.
AFAIK, that agreement was made with... SCO (original) when MS sold Xenix to them.
Dunno if TSCOG received that bit of property (wouldn't doubt it though, since they got Unixware) when they made the split with Tarantella from Caldera.
The key test is then: did they or did they not call hundreds of other speculative investment houses in hopes of convincing one with this long shot advice?
I think MS is playing multiple roles, here. They are both managing direct investments in SCO vis-a-vis Baystar and RBC. They are also promising results on the licensing end, by making it attractive to companies like EV1 (?) to buy in to the licensing program.
McDonald's knew people were burning themselves, and they continued to heat their coffee to extremes just short of boiling.
They provided a "to go" cup that would collapse from the pressure if you tried to lift the cup full of coffee with your hand.
To mitigate that they provided an equally flimsy lid that would support the shape of the cup.
It was the kind of lid where you peel some of it back to be able to sip the coffee.
The woman that was burned did this while seated in her automobile. The lid collapsed and fell off the cup when she peeled it back. Then the cup collapsed in her hand. Then the near boiling coffee spilled out onto her lap, and gave her second degree burns on her labia and genital area.
The executives at McDonalds knew this was happening and didn't change their policies on the serving of coffee.
Someone on groklaw.net the other day suggested they might do something like this in the very near future, as they were nearing the "support" point in their continuing stock decline.

they'll still be quite honest at the age of eight.
of course they will be, but they'll also be ignorant of their own biases, those hammered into them in the school yard.
ask an 8 year old sometime.

That's the impression I get from Halloween X.
The Plantiff had only asked to have her legitimate medical expenses covered.
I had forgotten that. Thanks for the addendum.
buy hot coffee at McDonald's
I think you are misinformed about that lawsuit.
McDonald's knew people were burning themselves, and they continued to heat their coffee to extremes just short of boiling.

That all may be true, but I'm askng about Pixar developers, who cares about Apple's contributions to Linux (if any)?
