What does the density of transistors on a die have to do with battery power?
Err, to put it short: smaller transistors lead to smaller charges that have to be moved when switching, which leads to lower A. If you don't raise V to get larger f you get lower W.
Gee, I wonder how I pissed that editor off, that he has nothing better to do - apart from not giving me Mod-points in almost 3 years. Or that strange down-modding incident.
#1 is larger (longer) than a bread-box and #2 has no moving or electrical parts and also is (mostly) used as part of something else (#1) and thus doesn't qualify.
It seems like California residents would get the shaft if out of staters were tearing up their roads with their high efficiency cars and not having to pay for it.
Even in 1900, do you think the people taking temperatures around the globe were more concerned with an accurate reading or with finishing their breakfast and reading the temperature an hour late and carelessly, so they could get back inside where it was warm?
So how many crack-pots did he list that were just plain wrong with their outsider ideas? How many examples did he gave were the consensus was actually based not on "common", that is old, knowledge, but on relatively new findings - unlike the outsider point of view.
BTW, the fact of global warming and the theory that man made gasses are responsible was once the outsider view. So Crichton's way of reasoning actually goes in favor of it.
Tracking the world's average temperature from the late 19th century, people in the 1930s realized there had been a pronounced warming trend. During the 1960s, scientists found that over the past couple of decades the trend had shifted to cooling. Many scientists predicted a continued and prolonged cooling, perhaps a phase of a long natural cycle or perhaps caused by human activities. Others insisted that humanity's emission of gases would bring warming over the long run. In the late 1970s, this group's views became predominant. By the late 1980s, it was plain that the cooling spell, whose cause remained mysterious, had been a temporary distraction. For whatever reason, unprecedented global warming was underway.
If htons is usually an empty macro, why create another usually empty macro around it? And even if that made sense, why would someone not write your example as
#ifdef WRONG_BYTE_ORDER send(foo); bar = thing; if(baz == 23) #else send(htons(foo)); bar = htons(thing); if(htons(baz) == 23) #endif
But those are basically constant, and global warming strongly correlates with CO2 production by humans. So if you wanted to make the world cooler, would you a) reduce CO2 production, or b) shut down some volcanoes?
Ahh, but any good religious nutter (of the Christian kind) will tell you they wouldn't show the Horned Hand at their inauguration. Ohh well, he got re-elected, no need to pamper them anymore.
More of a problem is that the VMX implementation seems incomplete, at least compared to the G5. For example, Cell does not support double-precision SIMD operations. If a dual G5 is faster for VMX apps AND supports double-precision, it might be the better choice for many things.
Yeah - but it doesn't. VMX is VMX (is AltiVec is Velocity Engine). No extra or removed VMX instructions in the G5, most certainly no DoubleFP SIMD. Just a different implementation in the G4, G4+ and G5 resulting in different performance.
Hannibal waving his magic wand of certainty doesn't keep Apple from putting the Cell into the Mac Mini 2 aka Mac Home Entertainment System, only from putting it into XServes. Just that I don't think that both Apple and IBM had any plans to do so in the first place (the XServe thing), rather that Apple is waiting for IBM to a) make the G5 faster, and in the long run b) release the POWER 5 derived dual-core G6.
Read Part II of the article - it's not a full implementation of VMX (the SPEs don't have VMX at all - they have a different instruction set altogether). Hannibal believes the weak VMX implementation will be a major downside for Apple. Then there's the lack of out-of-order execution etc.
No, do read that article. Hannibal declares that it has a weak VMX implementation. "I expect this VMX to be very simple, and roughly comparable to the Altivec unit o the first G4." Errrm, the Cell processor is clocked around ten times higher than the original MPC 7400. I somehow doubt that it will be notably slower at doing Velocity Engine stuff than the current G4 products you can get from Apple - even if Hannibal is right.
Well, it's like in that Al Qaeda memo, where they say they started thinking about using chem/bio-weapons after Bush told the whole world that they were planing to do it.

Don't confuse MSN's incompetence with this issue. They also banned the search for "Staatsexamen" (final/state examination) - it's easy to guess why.

I guess it changed because they went from Nasdaq National Market to Nasdaq Small Cap.

Now something like an Uzi or maybe a AK-47...
Yeah, but it counts at least double when he gets others to use it.
So what do you do when some American militia or one of the US-financed terrorist groups uses an A-Bomb in the USA?
Your own what? iBook? Or PC notebook?
when you type /good pizza ?
You almost had me ;-)
That would be: make sure there are as little of your civilians around as possible. Fear the day others follow that rule.
Ahh, so you admit it was colder in 1900.
BTW, the fact of global warming and the theory that man made gasses are responsible was once the outsider view. So Crichton's way of reasoning actually goes in favor of it.
And the research is a tad older than 10 years. The Discovery of Global Warming
No, on the judges say-so.
Wouldn't a video camera work better?
Ahh, so you want to set up a surveillance camera watching public space just to see if one person happens to walk by.
Actually, that's why it is called a dud.

No, being a human qualifies them to speak on political pressure in government conservation sciences.
Ahh, but any good religious nutter (of the Christian kind) will tell you they wouldn't show the Horned Hand at their inauguration. Ohh well, he got re-elected, no need to pamper them anymore.
Well, were do you get your cheap labor if every poor kid can get some education. Hence the need to outsource.
