Ahh, so Americans need to be armed so they can defend themselves against an evil gubmint - let's just hope it doesn't get too brutal or it's all in vain.
Every Iraqi is armed, with a AK47/74 or even RPG-7.
Ahh, so why didn't they do anything against Saddam? Didn't Bush claim that almost every Iraqi hated him? Yet they wait to start fighting until the Americans come?
Nobody? Sure. I must be imagining all those people who told me how SPEC was such a "real" benchmark because it consists of subtests that are (parts) of actual applications - like gzip, gcc, crafty (chess), perlbmk (something from perl), bzip2, mesa (3D library), and otherapps you never heard of, because the don't come from id.
Well, if SPEC benefits from a "malloc that is sufficient to run the benchmark but not capable of running general applications and doesn't actually behave the way apps expect malloc to behave", then it fails as a benchmark supposedly being real-app(s) like.
Here. Citing a paper in the New Scientist that says autistic infants have less mercury in hair samples than "normal" children.

How is an entire industry better off with the sole supplier of the product that defines that industry (Mac OS) out of business? Apple also designed most of the motherboards and also did most of the advertising, esp. among potential new users, who the cloners were mostly ignoring.

Why can I get 10 different brands of motherboards for a PC and not for an Apple?
Because there are 10 different companies who think there is money in making a PC motherboard.
When I buy a xyzzy-brand PC I don't need to sign an agreement with the vendor banning me from getting replacement parts from a non-xyzzy shop.
When you buy a Mac you don't need to sign an agreement with Apple banning you from getting replacement parts from a non-Apple shop either.
There is no "specially apple-modified PowerPC hardware", there is Apple designed PowerPC hardware nobody is forcing you to buy. You can buy PowerPC hardware by other vendors (the fact that they cost vastly more than Apple hardware has nothing to do with Apple strongarming).
Slashdot Mirror
You can buy the annotated version. But I don't like it too, that you can't read the original book if you want. (The name of the book is "Mein Kampf")
Actually, "Mein Kampf" is not banned, it's just that the state of Bavaria holds the copyright and doesn't allow anything violating that. Journalist asks, the Bayerische Staatskanzlei anwers (in German).
To Americans arrogance is something they only recognize in others.

German article (from November 2001) about a bug in Intel's C compiler when using inter procedural optimization (-ipo) with an example from Povray

I'm pretty sure Rush is not going to join the Army.
Right you are. The author also mentions "attacking with one army".
Octuple-precision floating point on Apple G4.
Hey, they were just trying to confuse the terrorists ;-)
Another reason why it shouldn't be a secret were these lines are: anybody doing underground work should know where they are exactly.
Hey, as soon as I can buy a PC without a A20-gate to allow just that (running DOS on a Pentium - or anything from a 286 infact), I may buy one.
Brrrruuurrrp! One of the two Serial ATA drive bays is taken by the HD, the other is free. The optical is in an extra bay.
A patch? Or four, one of them a trojan?
Good enough?
So you also wouldn't buy a 3.2 GHz P4, because Intel is too chicken to submit SPEC numbers?
You build it the same way sombody paints a Painting By Numbers painting. Time to cut off your ear, Mr. Van D'ohhhh.
And are a whopping 4% faster than the previous 3.0 GHz P4s in about all tests.
Yes - as this is the compiler inside Xcode. Using the predictive compile feature.

Days of Thunder was also more popular than Driven here in Germany - and that had nothing to do with the mostly unknown NASCAR vs. big-time F1.
