This looks to me to be a combination of old and not so good idéas. I have read about out of order execution and using data when ready at least 5 years ago in Hennesy and Pattersons book "Computer Architecture A Quantitative Approach". To me it sounds like a typical scoreboarding architecture. And how he can claim that this will lead to less control logic someone else might be able to explain to me. As for executing two instruction at once since their destination and value are the same sounds like a operation that will lead to more control logic. Besides doesnt most compilers optimize away these kinds of cases?
They now make it in plastic so that it wont hurt as much when you hit them over the head with it. Bit self inflicted though since we didn't want to hit them over the head before they made them in plastic.
Yes you are absolutly right. Without "statism" we could do what ever we want. We could go around the regiongods (was going to write codes but my misprint of gods seemed nicer) and buy where ever we want and do what ever we want. Only one problem... so could the companies. And it's all fun and games until someone sends a bonebraker to someones house. They wouldn't even need to do that though. They could simply decide that no one would be allowed to leave the country (US) with a printer toner. Make some deals with the transportation companies (wich would btw either be the same company when there is no laws or would be their golf partner as it is now) and on with the rubber gloves. Heck let it be enought that you suspect them of smuggling and take them out back and shoot them. Or why not shoot them inside the airport? Makes an good example to the other sheep.
Besides where were you going anyway? You still haven't paid for your meals this week. Yes we know that we only pay you $10 and the meals cost $20 but that's why we offer you such good loans. Hm, does that last paragraf sound far fetched (maybe not compared to the first one) but this was actually practised in Sweden before we got some sensible laws. Listening to the song "Sixten tons" i recon that Sweden wasn't the only place.
This reminds me of one time I played Black and White. Had been playing untill late o'clock when I heard a creepy voice painfully say my name. First time I ignored it thinking it was just a coincident. Second time I was sure I had heard something. I took it as a que that I should go to bed:) Later I learned that the game checked your name against a list and if it found it it said that name when it was late at night. Questioned my sanity for a while there. Still do but for other reasons:)
If you unplug and plug in an PS/2 mouse in a computer with windows 9x then you have to restart the computer before you can use the mouse again. Don't know about other OS though...
We can't find a rope that is long enough or is M$ compatible. Well there is of course some that is but it says in the license that we're not allowed to hang any M$ products. We have thought of using OSR(open source rope). But M$ say's that it is easy to crack and that we might end up hanging ourself and if we do there won't be any helpline to call.
Another point he discuss in those books are the population decline that the most powerfull planets suffer from. This is something that you can see in many countries in Europe. For example both Italy and Sweden has a negativ birthrate. Swedens population only grows because of refurgees.

The point with Bluetooth is that the transmitters are small and doesn't demand much power. So the problem with power supply isn't that great. As for the dictionary and the program logic. It is reasonably to think that they put that in the PDA. If you them in the "straps" then it would be a hassle to manually update the dictionary.
Satire? No I don't know what that is but I have got an irony mine in my backyard:-)
As you might have understood from my previous post I was doubtfull over my own position. I must admit that I haven't read that much of his work but what I have read didn't impress me that much. It might be that I lack the knowledge of the society of those days that is part of the point isn't it? Most of us doesn't have the knowledge and therefore we miss the joke.
But it's unnecessary to go as far back as Swift to notice that. Show a picture by Chaplin. How many of us will enjoy that?
BTW my teacher who showed me that paper of Swift about the children. My teacher presented it as if Swift had been serious/insane when he wrote it. I hope that my teacher was having fun on our acount or else it's really sad.
Swift? The same person who thought that eating children was a good way to end poverty and later in his life ended up in an asylum for the mentally ill? I hope that you're not comparing him to Pratchett.
True, Gulliver's Travels was a book that criticized the modern socity (as opposed to Crusoe) but I still belive that he wasn't a sane person.
