Hmmm, Australia. That's pretty close to New Zealand, where they film "Xena Warrior Princess". I've heard that Xena will defeat Queen What's-Her-Name and take over the Universe.
When I was in college, people used to set up their radios on the school mainframe (CDC 3150). One operator was adept at naming which job was running by the tune it played.
Jeez, you better tell JJ about this before he wastes any more time!
I think the two actions are pretty much independent, i.e. that the Apellate Court just agreed to take the case, and Jackson asking the Supreme Court to take it directly. If the SC rejects it, then it will go to appeal (then back to the SC).
William Stallings lists four primary characteristics of the RISC architecture: One instruction per cycle, register-to-register operations, simple address modes, and simple instruction formats. With one simple instruction per machine cycle, CPU idle-time is significantly reduced. RISC instructions are hardwired into the chip as opposed to residing in a microcode ROM, theoretically reducing execution time by eliminating references to the microcode program as well as freeing up valuable chip space. Simple instructions greatly reduce the complexity of the chip, and eliminate such complications as performing an operation on several parameters while at the same time calculating effective memory addresses.
It doesn't say anything about the number of instructions.
I always thought RISC meant reducing the complexity of each instruction, so every one could execute in 1 clock cycle. Not reducing the number of instructions.
Also, IBM was doing research on RISC in 1974, which predates the x86.

Every reference I can find on the Web defines it Synchronous DRAM.
I thought RAMBUS claimed their patent covered ANY synchronous DRAM access from a processor.
The CATS supports SDRAM, USB and PCI among other features
... An interesting alternative to set up a cheap but powerful server.
Will they have to pay RAMBUS royalties?
sigmentation fault?
I have a bunch of freckles. Is that pigmentation fault?
Since they announced they own the Internet/Web last week, I wonder if they will approve this new protocol? How about BXXP#?
1. It is a preemptive strike against DOJ. "Well, Jeez, we can't really break up the company NOW, can we?"
2. They want to cut software resellers and retailers out of their profits. No more M$ shrink-wrapped products (Yay!).
3. C# was just a smoke-screen. This is the real Java killer.
4. They saw that non-M$ ASPs might make alot of money using M$ software, so they want to put them out of business.

A dot-matrix printer at Andover
Played the same tune over and over
"Make that thing stop"
Said a sleepy sys-op
"I'm still nursing my IPO hangover!"
Still not haiku?
Some people think Java is what C++ should have been, O-O without all (or most) of the problems.
Some excerpts from the article:
This is not a response to Java
(Common Language Runtime) increases the openness of Windows.
C# is "not presented (by Microsoft) as a Java competiton"
C-octothorpe?
What do you expect for a reply on virgule-dot?
No, I think he's Bob Lazar's brother. You know, the Area 51/UFO guy, the one who claims to have reverse-engineered a captured Roswell UFO.
i've always pronounced "#" as "sharp".
Really, you say "sharp define" for #define, "sharp ifdef" for #ifdef, "sharp pragma", etc? It must be a real joy to have you in a code review.

Radio Shit on the moon?
Can I go home now?
How's this?

Yeah
RIS = set of reduced instructions, not fewer instructions. You could have as many instructions as allowed by the opcode field.
I always thought RISC meant reducing the complexity of each instruction, so every one could execute in 1 clock cycle. Not reducing the number of instructions.

You can't own a gun
Correction: You can't legally own a gun. That usually doesn't stop criminals.
Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma
Impulse power? What's next, WARP drive?
Here comes DeKSS - De-Keyboard Scanning System, available soon for Linux (or is that Linux BSD?).
Umm, that would immediately prevent more than 50% of the population from being able to "log into something".
bbspot is a fake news site, kinda like The Onion. Check your sources.
Duh! You mean stories like "AMD introduces Moron processor" and "Overclocking causes rift in space-time" are not true?
Er, I believe the article was discussing a standard API to implement interactive TV, not low-level video transmission standards.
I vote for Java, or more specifically "ABM" (Anything But Microsoft).
