next we'll see chip manufacturers disabling the math unit, changing the pin-out, and selling it as an SX. Then sell you the same processor with the math unit enabled as a Math-CoProcessor... So you basically buy the same chip twice. Oh, wait....
How do you handle overflows? There are modes that trigger roll over, and there are cases when you don't care. If you add two 32 bit numbers at the same time, the result of one, can and will affect the result of the other. What about bit shifting and such? You can't exactly bit shift two 32 bit numbers at the same time, using the logic you describe.
A blood dripping knife in plain view? Then you don't need no steenkin' warrant:p
Now, they can still frisk you. IIRC if you are within 30 miles of an international border, they don't need a warrant to search your car either. (It's been a while since my law classes.. US law of course...) Except even then, I think its only to search for contraband, weapons, etc....
BB would probably still need a warrant. However, it seems like everyone is concernced that this probably won't happen, and it will just be assumed that it is ok to take the BB from the vehicle. Now I'm sure there SHOULD be some sort of privacy statement and DISCLOSURE when you buy the car right? I'm not sure what the current disclosure laws in the states that require them encompass. There should be an opt-out or opt-in clause somewhere when you buy the car:)
My TI-99/4A.. I loved that thing... I had to program my own games on it as a kid, cause when my parents bought the thing, they went outta business.... So the only games games I owned was Moon Mine, Parsec, and Defender....
Defender never got old;) , but I quickly grew sick of the other two games, so had to occupy myself with making my own games:) It helped to have an older brother, so we often tried to outdo each other....
I believe IBM had plans for the PowerPersonal. I'm not sure if they ever shipped any or not. I think there are a bunch of linux distros that run on PPC tho...
Besides, I think this is definately more doable that hands across america. With the possible exception of the rockies/cascades etc, just set up some cantenna's, and aim it off into the horizon. With GPS and such, it should be easy to coordinate. A handful of people at each horizon, should do it... How far away is the horizon anyways? I know I can see the buildings in downtown from here, and its like 20 miles from here.
Sure, but isn't the thermistor not on die on the AMD's? Didn't Tom's hardware say that the latency caused by this, is what caused the processor to fail?
I would rather the processor slow, than stop, because then at least productivity won't drop to nil. Again, like you said tho, for home use its probably fine. And I'm pretty sure, if this happened on a P4, you won't be going on a wild goose chase, it should be pretty easy to track down.
But anyways, back to your regularly scheduled program....
it may have been the older VQ for the weight comparison. When I was talking about extra parts, I didn't mean to infer they didn't do anything. I meant more parts = more stuff to fail = more weight, etc etc.
Otherwise I agree with you, thats the whole point I was trying to make, and point out why this car analogy is worthless, because its so completey different.
Yes, numbers alone mean jack, but that's my point. It depends what you are looking for, in order to determine which engine is better for you. Just because VQ does more with less cubic inches does not mean its a better engine, just like just because AMD does more with less cycles doesn't mean its a better processor either.
I'm not saying they suck either, I'm just saying each has its place.
GM's LS1 V8 is 5.7 litres, has 8 cylinders, one camshaft and 16 overhead valves.
Nissan's VQ engine is 3.5 litres, 6 cylinders, 4 camshafts and 24 valves.
The LS1 engine produces 345 HP, the VQ 260. For arguments sake, lets stick a supercharger on the VQ, and it should match output.
Are you saying the VQ will be a better solution, because it has less cubic inches, so it does more? Its all relative. Its smaller in terms of cubic inches only. In terms of physical size, the LS1 is actually smaller/lighter. You think those extra moving parts, like the 3 extra camshafts and 8 extra valves, etc etc have no mass or take up no space? (or the blower?) How much low-end torque is on that VQ again?
I remember reading an article a long time ago, stating that GM's 3800-Series II V6, had something like 100 less parts than Toyota's 3.0 Litre DOHC V6.
While the VQ engine is a really fine engine, (one of wards ten best), with a blower on it, there is really not much else you can do. Turning this motor into a reliable 600+hp engine will be difficult. Turning the LS1 V8 into a reliable 600hp engine is actually considerably easier.
These things may/may not be true of the Intel/AMD race, so this is why the car anology does not apply here. There is more to an engine than just cubic inches.
Example: my L67 gets better fuel economy AND blows the doors off the wife's 3.2 litre VTEC V6.
they don't put them on CDRWs:) So we can at least re-use them. Like when they used to be on floppies... And what gives with the stupid packaging? I really liked the plastic DVD-like cases they used to come in...
Come to Oregon. The environmentalists will yell at scream at you, because those dams are supposedly killing the fish. Nevermind we let the indians fish as much of the protected salmon they want. Reminds me of the whale in washington. They let the indians go on a whale hunt, because it was a sacred ceremony...
No I'm not trolling, I was pointing out that not everything about the UI of a Mac rules. And yes, sorry about the MAC, but, I'm just accustomed to typing that, because that's how I type that word most of the time, mostly due to MAC address...
Yeah, but how long until MACs had more than a single mouse button?:D
That right click interface seems more useful. Heck, I remember back in college someone pointed out that changing the system time on a MAC was a laborious process. Then again, I didn't care at the time, so I never researched the validity of their claim...
But apple didn't rewrite the filesystem until years later. MS rewrote the filesystem with VFAT32. We spent lots of time discussing filesystem differences between OSes in my operating systems class back in college.
From what I remember VFAT32 was higher performance than either NTFS or MACFS. This was years ago, so my memory may have faded:)
A lack or an authorization system is the same as authorizing everyone right?:)
And your analogy is a bit off. Yes, they buzzed you in when you got that IP address. But when you dind't rummage through their documents. You asked for something to read, and they handed you something to read. If they hand you their financials, instead of people magazine, than its their own darned fault.
You see, when you got that IP address, and you use the internet, you are still going through their NAT translator, and using their DNS forwarding mechanism. You are not rummaging through anything, you are always "asking" and they keep giving.:)
If you must, and don't think what I said is true, then the documents you read, were the ones sitting on the table in the waiting room. What they put there is their responsibility:)
When you got hired you were given an employee hand book, which said you can't dl porn. If I'm sitting in a park, and happen to connect to your wide open network, and get a DHCP address, there was no TOS as you put it.
And having an address is giving you permission to send IP traffic. Since your gateway is also doing NAT and DNS resolution/forwarding, when I ask for/. in a park, your equipment in effect, grants my request, by NAT translating my HTTP session, forwarding my DNS query for slashdot.com, etc etc. So yes, I WAS given authorization.
How am I supposed to know that you didn't mean for me to have net access from the park?
Since the guy used DHCP to get the IPAddress, and you gave him a gateway address, and provided NAT translation, it would be more like:
You were sitting at the side of a road in your car, a guy came buy, knocked on the window, and asked for a ride to the library, and you opened the door, and said sure no problem. Then you dropped him off at the library. are you then going to the police station to press charges against him? How was he supposed to know you didn't want to do that?
I asked for an ipaddress with DHCP, and it gave one to me. Therefore I got "permission".... To get back to the crappy house analogy. Its like this: I knocked on the door (DHCP), and you let me in. (gave me address). DHCP gave me a default gateway as well. So when I pull up slashdot, I'm not stealing bandwidth. I gave my request to the gateway, the NAT server then routed the packet to slashdot, and gave the response to me. This is like I asked you to turn the tv on for me, and you said, "OK", and walked over and turned the tv on. Therfore I didn't steal anything. If you didn't want me to do any of this, than thats your fault for obliging:)
I saw an argument that resources provided by my state are used in the transaction (things like the roads the UPS truck drives on and so forth).
Isn't that what GAS TAX is for? Besides, isn't that what the SHIPPING COSTS are supposed to reflect? I mean, UPS isn't stupid. They aren't going to eat the cost of fuel, licensing, insurance, tolls, etc etc etc.
Speaking of consuming services. Why the hell do WA residents who work in OR have to pay OR income tax, when WA residents qualify for 0% of the services that the tax they are paying pays for?
I thought it was illegal for a state to collect taxes on behalf of another government entity. Hence, oregon retailers don't charge WA residents sales tax, because they are not allowed to. The customer is "supposed" to report the sale back to WA, and pay the necessary taxes.
This is also why when a WA resident buys a car in OR, the dealer does not give you WA plates. Instead, they give you the paperwork to get the plates yourself with two options. 1) They charge you sales tax, and then cut you a check for the tax amount to give to the DMV 2) You write your own check to pay the sales tax. Either way, the state of WA is collecting the tax, not the OR dealer.
From what I remember, retailers can only collect taxes in states that they have a presence in....

How in antitrust, they were pumping their own gas, which is illegal in Oregon, which is where they were supposed to be...

I think tracert would've looked cooler :)
It depends on what the gain and such is of the antenna. With an omni, maybe, but with a wave-guide cantenna you are probably safe.
See here for details

You are assuming that you are around when it happens. Your server may be in the basement, and you may be in the bedroom.
This is a bad example in relation to CPU's.
