  1. Re:I'm sure you'll hear about this one.. on SGI launches R16000 · · Score: 1

    Your Comment is wrong. There is a RISC - CISC conversion, since the core of the chip is RISC, but the instructions comming in is CISC. Also, 64 bits are extremely important. Even Intel and AMD think so. That is why they are spending TRILLIONS to develop the 64 bit architecture, which has been present in my R10K Indigo2 since 1994. The biggest problem with X86 (IMHO) is the fact that it only has 4 general purpose registers for programmers to play with. This MIPS has 128. Also, even if most instructions do take exacly one clock cycle to execute (which is doubtful) until recently, only ONE instuction did get executed at a time. Intel's SuperScaler Instructions fixed this, but once again my 1994 Indigo2 does this already. Hell, even ones made prior to my machine does this. Another big advantage for the MIPS is the fact that it has an 8 Megabyte _ON-DIE_ cache. This is an absolutely insane amount, and something like 2-3 times what a Xeon has. From my point of view, the biggest advantage that X86 hardware has is cost.

    Couln't we use a PCMCIA adapter and a 16mb compactflash card instead of the ISA flash thingie?

  4. Re:compression!! on Large-Scale Video Archiving? · · Score: 1

    . 30 frames/s * 300 KB/frame = 9 MB/s per camera. 100:1 video compression brings that down to ~90 KB/s. But 90 KB/s * 1000 cameras = 90 MB/s, or ~8 terabytes/day. Read the post, this was already addressed. This seems so obvious to me, why did _YOU_ even make it a question!?!

    And wtf is "runs IIS for terminal server" supposed to mean? That doesn't even make any sense.

    It is called TSweb, and it allows you to log into the server using terminal server without having to have the client installed on the local machine.

    This comment that I made above was supposed to have been taken sarcasticly, showing just how wrong i found the whole situation - i understand what a trademark can or cannot be

  8. Something to think about... on Adobe Threatens KIllustrator Over Name · · Score: 1

    Isn't the term "Illustrator" used to describe certain jobs? such as comic book companies would hire a said "Illustrator" do "Illustrate" their books - the same would be true for childrens books. If i remember corectly the term "Illustrated by" is used to describe the artist, so isnt he an "Illustrator" , and therefore in violation of the trademark held by Adobe? If this rediculous proposition between Adobe and Killustrator actualy does transoire, are they next?

    "Illustrator" Is also a term that describes a certain job. I.e comic book companies hire "Illustrators" to draw their books. Now, shouldn't Adobe go after them?
