  4. Re:IBM? Apple??? on Basics of Modern Intel CPUs · · Score: 1

    Not really. The most installed chips you will see if you take eveything into account (household stuff, network equipment, etc) you will find that the ARM chips, PowerPC followed by the 8088, & 80186 are the most used. the x86 (386 and up) are not really used anywhere except desktop/servers. I would bet that there are more 6502 and their like installed then x86. Crack any low powered item it is most likely and ARM, crack any Cisco, Foundry, et. al. and you will find a ton of PPC chips. Heck, the Nortel Shasta box has 4x83Mhz PPC per line card (back in the day!) - it could get to 100+ in a box.

    >Right, and how much did the Linux Development Kit for the PS/2 take off...

    Well it you can run Linux on a model 9595 with the P166 but it is slow. Now I had a Type 4 complex that I upgraded to a P233, and had 256MB of ECC memory on the system and got Gentoo Linux running on it. Was never quite as good at OS/2 on the box..... ...What?!?...Oh, sorry, you mean PS2 as in Sony not PS/2 as in PersonalSystem/2 from IBM with the MCA bus.

    Damn, which people would pay attention to details.

  9. Re:You got it wrong on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    You don't have a clue. US military doctrine is built on soldiers who are robots and do not think. The US Armys training is an international joke. Your soldiers are given assault rifles that do not fire fully-automatic because they are deemed inadequetly trained to be responsible for managing their ammo, ffs.

    You are clueless. An automatic weapon rides up as you fire it and it gets off target. The M16 is very very accurate weapon in the hands of a properly trained soldier. There is no reason for having an automatic mode on it. The 3 round burst in the M16A2 model is perfect for suppressive fire without getting off target, or wasting ammo. The selector level on an AK47 goes from safe, to auto, to semi-auto. The reason it goes to auto 1st is that you cannot hit the broadside of a barn with it from 100 meters, and the user of the weapon is a undiscipline peasant. The US Marines qualify at 800 meters on the M16 and the Army at 300 meters.

    As to the rest of your load of shit, having been in the Army (1st SF) I can tell you we handed the heads to many other nations troops when training and running OPFOR.

    If he is responsible for that steaming pile of shit that is the NT kernel then I am not sure this is a good thing for Google. Take this post with a grain of salt as I feel the same way about the Linux Kernel.

    I guess my real point is that software design has lost it ablitiy to be lean, mean, and clean. It takes less time to boot XP on my box then Gentoo. OpenBSD boots the fastest. (We unless you count BeOS).

    Last version of of NeXTSTEP was 4.2, not 3.3. MacOS X is NeXTSTEP 4.2 with the display PS removed and replaced with display PDF ported to the PPC chipset. NeXTSTEP, and thus it follows OS X, is the MACH Kernel with BSD networks stacks and userland. In NX the last BSD was 3.x or something. OS X is up to the 4/5 from FreeBSD.

    Hum, don't remeber telling you how to behave, except for maybe asking for you to be responsible for you actions. If you are not willing to do that then I hope someone cuts your life short before you hurt someone else. I am a compete libertarian. You can do whatever the fuck you want as long as it does not mess with my right to do whatever the hell I want.

    The key to a peacefull world is personal responsiblity on everyone part.

  15. Re:A bounty... on Spammers' Upend DNS · · Score: 1

    I understand your point. I just do not always agree with it. People are dumb, and some will buy stuff from spammers. So do we pass a law to make that a 10-15 year sentence? How do we fix the root cause of spam? Get rid of profit or money. If you want to make someone think twice about doing something you need to make the punishment not work the reward.

    As to removing the cause, sure make drugs legal, I am in favor of that. That would solve a few issues. But at the end of the day, there will always be people that want more then they have. You cannot fix that. Communisim is a great idea except is it 100% against human nature and does not work. Tell me how do you fix the root cause of bank robbery? Or someone that likes to rape? You cannot.

    We need to teach responsiblity for ones actions - and the punshment for not being responsible should be harsh.

    If you can solve the problems like you talked about you are a smarter man they everyone else that has been trying since the dawn of time. Me, I am just trying to be realistic.

    The fact of the matter is that the American correction system is quite nice to people. Things would change if we had public floggings and hung murders, rapist and child pornographers. Murder is only a 7-10 year sentence around here. We give our criminals cable TV! Prison should be like military boot camp. Hard physical labor, no free time, and because I do believe in paying your debt and reform, schooling to teach and educate so the person can get a job and make a contribution to the society they have harmed. BTW, I am not in anyway a 1) Republican, 2) Born-again Christian. I just think it is time we start forcing people to be RESPONSIBLE for their actions. All this touching feeling shit is killing me. Oh, there should be less stupid laws - the drug and prostitution laws need to. Legalize and regulate.

    And spammer should still be shot. If you kill a few I will bet spamming would stop.
