Mr Obama will also be the first President to have a "SWF" button on his desktop so when he is killing time on games like Paper Physics or Line rider, he can immediately switch over to some spreadsheet looking thing when the Chief of Staff comes in to make sure he is still working.
Ahhh slacking off with style.

I haven't watched since they got rid of Bill Nye. That took the credibility out of what was left. Then he was replaced with a dumber than dirt face with boobs to get more teenage viewers. Hear that? That is the sound of any actual enthusiast switching the channel.
which is entirely possible to do (assuming you can get a hold of the compiler needed to create your own code). all you need to do is send the PJL needed to upload the program, and then stick it in the stack and vioala! instant print job mirroring.
naturally networked printers like this should live on their own subnet that refuses all port communication except inbound originating print request or necessary admin traffic from specific other networks....
so yes, lots of network admin overhead to keep them locked down.

What, No Tango from Commuter Cars? That is the one I'm looking for. I've got no room in my garage for my car (bicycle stuff and other crap) and the Tango is just what i need for small commuting (98% of my driving).
Heh, of course if I had a Tango I would bicycle to work less......

500 jobs? Hell, the HP plant I worked at had more than 500 H1B workers from India with Wipro working at our location. Like that can offset the thousands of coding jobs they took?
The population won't miss Wal-Mart if they stay out of an area, as other businesses will gladly step in and take their place.
Exactly. That is the very basis of a free market. IF they don't want to operate a business under the requirements of locl laws, local values, etc then it is their loss. That business will have to make the choice if it is a market they should try to be in, or not.
that is because most people are idiots and any time something "bad happens" (tm) they scream for the government to "do something" (tm) about it. So stupid laws get made by stupid legislators on behalf of the stupid people that think the government is their babysitter.
it does..... it is called outsourcing. Happens all the time. The best time to see this in action is when a company has the choice of expanding a manufacturing facility state side or contracting out to an overseas facility. If the compan decides to go with the foreign facility, then labor costs (which might included increased wages & benefits) _might_ have played a part in the decision.
May be you aren't sure of the details of the cases referenced. Wal-Mart didn't with-hold consent for a union, it simply said we will not operate a business in an area likely to have a union. Since wal-Mart expected a union to form, it shut down that store. It is entirely within the law for Wal-Mart to close a location of its own free will. That is capitalism at work.
Socialism would say that the state determines where a business must operate and attaches conditions to that order. The state would force a business to spend its money to open a store at a specific location, and then force the business to operate under the state's rules for tax rates, employment conditions, etc.
What Wal-Mart didnt' do is fire some employees because they were "union" and then hire replacements that were non-union. They closed the entire store. No discrimination (aka preferential treatment) based on labor contract.
The US has a concept called "Right To Work" which basically means if you are in a right to work state, you have the right to choose to be part of a Union. Union membership (and the forced withholding of dues directly from your paycheck by your employer before you receive it) is entirely up to the worker. As such, the company CANNOT discriminate based on the union / non-union status of a worker.
In non-Right to work states, ou do NOT have the choice of joining a union. If the business employs union workers (or if the business is regulated by state / federal law as requiring union workers like with TSA, government regulated industries like rail roads, etc), then ALL employees are union workers. You have no choice, even if the union works against new employees (which most do because union wages are determined by tenure and internal union political position not skill).
Like you mentioned.....
In other countries, unions can exist regardless of the employers' opinion. If they don't like them, tough luck. In such countries, labor unions are protected by law.
This is the case even in right-to-work states, union existence is protected as is union membership. Generally speaking that is.... each state is free to make its own laws, but generally US Federal labor law prohibits passing laws that conflict with Fed laws.
heh... nothing like a gold 'ol lesson in simple economics. Suddenly the time needed to earn the money to buy the PS3 will seem a lot longer and less desirable.
i am completely aware the two architectures are very different. I suppose I should have noted that I was comparing two different generation chips to each other. My comment was mainly geared towards how the additional cores affect render times. I have no other single core CPU available to test.
I should also point out that straight encoding (rip this format to that format) isn't as taxing as creating content.
For example, placing multiple layers of overlay text onto a color corrected & contrasted source video footage will bring a system to a crawl, especially if 3rd party plugins are used and certainly if those plugins are not capable of using multiple cores (looking at magic bullet there). Just previewing that complicated footage in Vegas will peg a CPU because of all the blending taking place. But more cores means you can actually view your footage before a render (because Vegas does full frame preview with all effects with out a render).
Oh yes. The improvement is easily more than double. I have a P4HT 3.xGHz alienware and a 2GHz T2700 Core 2 Duo made by Lenovo (IBM Thinkpad). Both have 2GB of RAM, though the Alienware has a RAID0 storage system.
But the Core 2 Duo is easily 2 times as fast to render AND is far superior when previewing video with lots of color correction or lots of layers of generated media (movie credits or text overlays are particularly harsh because of all the alpha blending for each source). The P4 system struggles to play native HD footage (m2t) at 1/2 resolution while the Core 2 Duo has no problem. Remember that native HD stored in the m2t file is highly compressed so just viewing the footage is very taxing on the CPU-to-RAM bus as well as the HD.
My render app is Sony Vegas (not the cheap movie studio version) which is fully multi-core / multi-cpu aware. You can even set the # threads to take advantage of quad CPU systems. Vegas is entirely CPU dependent (unlike Edius / Avid which have hardware render assist).
But as other posts mention, aside from the multimedia creators no one will need multi cores. Well, unless they are running Aero on Vista. Good luck with that beast.
jason Side note: most media creators cannot move to Vista yet because of how direct sound access is blocked. Sony pretty much says stay away for now.
