I don't understand why the CPU is the problem with SMP. I understand that it took a while for Athlon MP chipsets to come out, but the Athlon uses the Alpha EV6 bus, and Alphas have been SMPing for years!
Can someone explain to me (I guess in words of one syllable:P) why the stock Athlon CPU doesn't support SMP?
That's a pretty cynical view. It's not as simple as all that. Those are extreme laws to have passed and simply "buying" them isn't necessarily going to work.
I don't know about that. Can you say "SSSCA"? I guess that Hollings' price is just a lot lower than the other CongressCritters.
Actually, the trademark is SPAM(tm) (luncheon meat) using all caps. In addition, Hormel requests that SPAM(tm)(luncheon meat) be followed with the term "luncheon meat" or other descriptor.
The company I work for at the moment is going through chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, before I started they had a history of missing paychecks which many feel will never be payed.
Then you were an idiot for signing up there. You knew what was going to happen if the company went/goes under.
I remember back in 1981, at Washington University, the anti-nuke groups were protesting that "any amount of radiation is dangerous". Hence, some friends and I formed a group called SOTS (Stamp Out The Sun). "Stamp Out The Sun... because any amount of radiation is dangerous". Looks like we knew what we were talking about!!!!
Why? Whining is about the only right we'll have left if Ashcroft gets his way.

This is what I thought. People kept saying that the Athlon couldn't do MP. I thought it was just motherboard problems...
Question. Why couldn't someone take a MP Alpha motherboard and plug a bunch of Athlons into it?

Nah. MS said that if they (Corporate America) didn't support MS, they'd have their licenses audited!
Oh, and back on topic... The whole licensing thing is an example of how MS being a monopoly is hurting consumers, not just competitors.
I've spent months trying to figure out how to turn of auto-indenting in numbered lists within Word 2000 with no success.
Yeah, and try using styles for nested numbered lists. They don't restart properly!
At the time, SetUID *WAS* new and innovative, and I belive that Ritchie put it in the PD, but I'm not sure.
It would be interesting to know why MAPS decided to cave in. ;-)

Maybe they didn't want their credit rating trashed?

will the laws include provisions for lesser jail sentences for minors who "attempt to circumvent copyright-enforcing hardware for media playback"?
<DARKHUMOR>Nope, you'll be convicted of terrorism under the ATA and sent to prison for life.</DARKHUMOR>

Why not get the most uncomfortable part of mandatory airport security set up right now?

Does that mean we'll all be farting flames out of our asses, and have 80 foot satellite dishes in there too?
Damn... I'm gonna have to remember to preview more... I fscking misspelled "SARCASM"!!!!

Did he need big <SARCARM> tags?
Yeah, it should have been 655,350 (that's $(640*1024).
2. you have the right to not buy any CD sold by a company you think sucks
And interfere with their G-d given right to profit? You, sir are obviously a communist, pirate, thief, and terrorist. We will sic the FBI on you!
I wouldn't mind seeing politicians made subject to the California Air Purity laws
The guy who proposed the tax already *IS* subject to CA air quality laws... remember, he's from L.A.!

Ehhh, you mean dis Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, doc?
and bear in mind it is a proposal, to be rewritten by lawyers sensative to people's rights, and later passed by capitol hill before it becomes law
The same way that the DMCA was rewritten by lawyers sensitive to people's rights?
