I assume because it's a desktop computer and you can only physically fit so much ram on a MB. Apple's site mentions the real XX terabyte limit, but notes that it's currently unrealistic to shove that much RAM in a small case.
Lets not put money into the military and watch as we get run over by warring nations.
No, no no. You don't understand. The rest of the world is obviously filled with magical fairies who have taught all people the errors of their ways. We are the only war-like country left. What we should do is take the entire defense budget and invest it in American Greetings and FTD. Then we could send all the leaders of foreign countries giant bouquets of flowers along with cards with cute little bears that say "I'm sorwy" and we can finally join the world in their onging hug-a-thon.
but seriously how about not putting the money into armies and not having wars.
Sure, and how about not putting money into police departments and not having crime? Sound real logical, doesn't it?
Perhaps we could put up several large signs that read "Shhhh! Do Not Disturb." along our borders. I'm sure the rest of the world would respect our wishes.
I think the coolest thing that wowed me about BeOS was when I loaded the GL-Teapot demo, watched it spin, then kept adding more and more and watched as they each *gradually* spun slower and slower. There was no locking up, none of them stopped, and the gui still responded just as fast. I didn't know a whole lot about programming back then, but I was impressed with how the whole system *scaled* usage.
I protest. Why was my post modded down to -1? I was merely expressing my opinion that this article is really not very interesting, that's all. Jeez.
Because the purpose of posting responses to articles is to foster meaningful discussion about the topic at hand. Since your post simply states that you do not find the subject matter 'interesting' enough to adequately comment on, it is extraneous and has been modded as such, much like this comment is fated. Don't take it personally.
increased scalability
The main benefit of 64-bit computing is increased scalability of your computer and applications. Some applications simply do not fit into a 32-bit computing model. For example, limitations on file size in a 32-bit environment may require database systems to use multiple files to represent a single file. Applications requiring large files, a large number of files, or a large number of users will benefit from 64-bit computing.
increased performance
Any application that is outgrowing a 32-bit computing environment will suffer performance hits. Applications may need large files, large memory, high precision arithmetic, and/or algorithmic accommodations for 32-bit limitations. Applications needing more code or data in memory will benefit from decreased swapping with 64-bit computing. Reduced swapping can make database inquiries as much as 100 times faster (individual performance gains may vary).
I think it has to do with "gross" vs "profits." It may had grossed $800+ million, but after everyone and everthing was paid for and the accounting wizards work their magic, the net profit was $0.
I think that the script would be pretty easy to create. Just set up a web-page with some standard specs (variable names, etc) and have all the visitors submit a single script that fills out a single request (creating a list of sites.) Then, when you have enough scripts, open your web page for business.
Paypal the owner $5, send him a name & address, he batch-executes the scripts. Easy, fun and profitable. Excuse me, I, uh, have something to go do...
By that, I mean what's the threshold between a single note and a copyrighted sample? After all, all music is composed from a limited number of notes, right?
Can an artist claim rights to the use of a 'G' followed by a 'B flat?'
I've worked with some people from... who couldn't shoot fish in a barrel, but, then, I never had the chance to meet their people who design aircraft and radar systems.
That got a "+Funny" mod, but I think it is a legit question. If the RIAA keeps talking about how "we" are hurting the artists, what measures are they taking to give the artists restitution?
Since 70% of those who use the internet still rely on dialup connections, all those who would even THINK of waiting for a 300K ad to download, please raise your hand.
I haven't read the article, but I would imagine that when a user visits a page, the main page is loaded and diplayed first, the ad is loaded in the backgound while the user reads, then every time the user click a link, the ad is displayed while the link is loaded in the background. At least, that would be the *best* way to do it (if you're gonna do it, that is)
You go pay $1 a song, I'll never buy music because I cannot afford to spend a dollar a song, I can spend 25 cent a song, 50 cent a song, but not a dollar a song, I barely have enough money to eat lunch everyday and I'm supposed to be spending a dollar on some 128bitrate low quality music file?
Yes, and I think that BMW should lower the price of their cars as well. I mean, I can spend $15K on a car, $20K on a car, but not $40k. I barely have enough money to pay my mortgage and invest in my 401k and I'm supposed to be spending tens-of-thousands of dollars on a car?
I don't know why so many people think that pop music is a necessity is life. You're not "supposed" to be spending anything more than what you can afford on music.
IT IS A LUXURY, NOT A NECESSITY!

Hey wait, yeah.. that doesn't make sense.
15000C = 15273K
15273K/50 ~= 305K
305K ~= 32C ~=90F ~= Room temperature
Oh wait, I guess it does. No, wait..

Hate to say this, but I've seen some of the proposals for FCS, and yes, they do plan on at least partially using Microsoft OS's. (Think CE and 2K)

You only have to let 1 person download a song from you. Within a week, millions can have the same copy. Exponential growth.
RTFC.
I'm pretty sure he was saying that "the lack of the MS tax" still doesn't account for the very low price.

MPAA == Music Players and Artists Association ??
There are only so many evil corporations/associations to keep up with, can't we keep them straight?
MPAA == movies
RIAA == music
That got a "+Funny" mod, but I think it is a legit question. If the RIAA keeps talking about how "we" are hurting the artists, what measures are they taking to give the artists restitution?
And I think a can successfully avoid every one of those proposed sites except, perhaps, the Nick Jr one.
Let's hope no one combines this pop-up technology with.. THE LINK. (you know which one I'm talking about.)
Having that image full screen for a mandatory 15 seconds.. *shudder*

I agree. What we need here is some sort of federal law...
Don't forget about HD manufacturers! People have to store their ill-gotten booty somewhere (at least temporarily.)
Yeah, but unfortunately, the xxIA has more than enough chances to exercise their "evil Kefka laugh."
