all the nice effects that mac and longhorn will be doing next year
Dude, you totally have Nick dePlume scooped if you know about nice effects in Mac OS X that are due out next year because there's not even any new effects (outside of CoreImage) due in Tigerthis year.
Stop smoking the Microsoft crack just because they are telling you that it will be new and revolutionary when they do it next year when Apple has had the effects in place since Mac OS X Public Beta.
Cease and desist letters are sent by lawyers, not by the judicial system. The judicial system may include a cease and desist in its rulings.
Cease and desist letters are nothing more than threats. It just means that they may escalate the matter if you don't comply. There's no legal obligation to comply with cease and desist letters.
One PCIe slot/lane has a transfer rate of ~250MB/s (2x PCI). You can easily add mroe lanes to each slot. So with graphics, you have 16 PCIe lanes at 250MB/s each.
I think I'm having Déjà Vu. I am reading that one of the great advantages of PCI express is its ability to talk to other cards without going through the CPU. Hmm, doesn't PCI have this now?
"I would have loved to buy that powerful Athlon 64, but the system bristled with ports, unlike the smooth surface of my legacy free Mac mini."
The important thing to note is that Longhorn is going to require signed drivers and that it will not support parallel, serial or PS2. All that extra hardware (that no matter at what cost you are still paying for) is going to be as useless as a floppy drive in Mac OS X.
I refused to buy a boombox for quite a while because I saw no need to have to pay for a cassette tape player when I would never use it.
They never had anything hard core, just stuff along the lines of Girls Gone Wild.
Whao, dude, you obviously haven't seen a Girls Gone Wild. I saw parts of the first one and I didn't know there were college co-eds who would do that with a water bottle.
They're right, download on demand movies are the only real threat they face, and that decision remains up to the MPAA.
Really? I download movies all the time onto my cable box. They're $4.99 for new movies and $2.99 for older ones. There's just not a huge selection and I only have 24 hours viewing period. When HBO on Demand is factored in (which is free with my HBO subscription) I think it's pretty good.
3. You'll pay whatever we want to charge you for whatever service we feel like providing, and you'll like it, since you're prevented from defending yourselves by organizing your own public service to compete with us when we ream you.
You seem to be avoiding the fact that the government is the people. That's the way our pseudo-democracy works. Nothing is stopping a group of people in a city from getting together and offering it.
My neighbourhood in Cincinnati consistently gets together to offer public works projects to the neighbourhood. We have two parks and two green areas that are landscaped and maintained by the neighbourhood. Recently (a year ago) we decided it would be nice if we had large decorative pots that had small shrubs and greenery in them, so we rallied funds for them.
Now, hold onto yourselves...there's one more thing.
A terrible spyware is in your system. So much rage, so much betrayal. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know what hovers over your kernel but it was strong enough to punch a hole in your security and take control away from you. It keeps system calls very close to it and away from the kernel. It lies to you...it does things only a geek can understand. It has been using your system to infect others. To your kernel, it simply is another system component, to us, it is the beast. Now let's go get your restore CD.
I'm not so sure that's not a brilliant idea. In Unix-like operating systems there's no need to write to anywhere but the user space, the rest of the system should be locked down. It would be a pain but installs to somewhere other than the user space could only be done when using a boot CD/DVD.
is there something inherent in desktop applications that prevent some chip maker from making a really low-power, high-performance (~1GHz) processor?
Well, that depends on what you consider to be low-power. Clearly these are super low but also have relatively low MIPS compared to current processors. PowerPC has always had low power consumption. The G5 is probably the most power hungry and consumes 42 Watts at 1.8 GHz, the G4 at 1 GHz consumes 30 Watts. Compare that with x86 processors coming from Intel and AMD and they are low power by comparison (a 2.8 GHz P4 consumes 68.4 Watts). Look at the MIPS to see the advantage.
I am assuming that you think desktop chips are just x86.
So their bread is overpriced and burnt but served by attractive female bakers so you keep coming back?
Uh, no. I grew up in St. Louis (where Panera is still called St. Louis Bread Company) and the employees in every Panera I have ever been to (I live in Ohio now) are just a step up from fast food employees. Nowhere near the intelligence, personality or looks of Starbucks employees.
Proposal: if your minor child is convicted of a crime you get hit with a proportion of the sentence dependent on the age of the child. (100% at 5 years old, 0% at 18, not sure what the interpolation function should be).
If a study was released saying the sky is really mauve, not blue, people are also going to be pretty dismissive.
As right people should be dismissive. The sky is neither mauve nor blue, it has no colour. Blue light scatters in the atmosphere causing it to look blue.
Nearly half that article had nothing to do with Linux or Windows security.
During the age of wit (Voltaire) people were constantly lauded for being able to prove something by circular logic. That's part of being witty is proving yourself by your own assertions. Stallman is witty, he's not a genius.
Yes, software patents are a bad idea but not because of what we may not have had. There's no way to speculate about alternative present day if the past had been different and come off as anything more than a dreamer.
For instance: It is computer folklore that Bill Gates had a conversations with Steve Jobs about porting the Mac OS interface to Unix. Bill Gates was purported to believe that Apple could have the high end with Unix workstations (Running the Finder on top of UNIX) and Windows could have the low end with PCs (running the Windows GUI on top of DOS). 10 years ago we could have speculated about the state of the PC and the Macintosh had that been the case, but lo and behold here we are in 2005 and the Mac OS interface has been ported to Unix and runs on Unix workstations.
Speculating about alternate realities is a dreamer's pastime, not one of a genius. A geniusfindsnewrealities.

Real Soon Now(TM) processors are going to have the memory controller integrated with the CPU so basically ALL memory is L2.

Nothing.

That's interesting because IBM says PCI express runs at 200 MB/s. There's also only 1,2,4,8 and 16x to the specification.
I think I'm having Déjà Vu. I am reading that one of the great advantages of PCI express is its ability to talk to other cards without going through the CPU. Hmm, doesn't PCI have this now?

It probably means it keeps them in like the PowerMac G5.

Oh, so it's Virtual PC for PCs. Doesn't Microsoft already make that?

It may not be convenient but it would be secure.
And the middle of Missouri is St. Louis how?
Uh, no. I grew up in St. Louis (where Panera is still called St. Louis Bread Company) and the employees in every Panera I have ever been to (I live in Ohio now) are just a step up from fast food employees. Nowhere near the intelligence, personality or looks of Starbucks employees.
You misspelled "barrels".
I said the same thing a month ago.
Don't they?

No one says, "I am going to PVR that show tonight."
What do they say? Everyone knows what people say and it's not PVR or DVR or Apple or UltimateTV it.
You mean like I, Robot?
