I had a friend who weighed 460lb (!) and we would line up five empty Al pop cans in two rows (ten total) and by slowly shifting his weight on one foot he could crush them all!
It does have to do with passenger (or cargo) capacity.
Versteh?
I think you're confused, I think because usually we don't care about the amount of work done, just as long as we get there.

Intel _makes_ money on it's CPUs while AMD barely, sometimes does.
While you may be correct that Intel's manufacturing is cheaper than AMD's, isn't it the case, however, that Intel can (and does) sell slower, less capable processors at higher prices than AMD? It seems to me I've always been able to look at Pricewatch and see equivalent Intel processors priced higher than AMD processors.
To make my point, I picked a processor at "random," an AMD64 3400+ and looked it up on tomshardware and found this performance comparison. Then I went to pricewatch and found the following prices, AMD64 3400+ = $188, Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz: $200. I looked up AMD processors and the first article I read said:
... the Athlon 64, while not priced as aggressively as AMD's chips in the past, ends up offering better performance than the Pentium 4, for less money. What more could you want?
Obviously some people want it to say Intel at any cost.
Hey bradword, may I suggest you spend a few minutes of your life learning the difference between wrong and illegal. If you substituted your use of wrong with illegal I would completely agree with your post, but as it is I don't. As an example, if I had never heard of the band in question and would never buy their music, I don't see why downloading it is wrong although I know it is illegal. But that's just me; you probably don't care what others think.
The cell phone companies have a (one tiny little) problem to solve: how to make and market the device that I really, really want.
* cell phone * play music (OGG, MP3, etc) * play movies (MPEG, AVI, etc.) * 120 GB + of data (video, music, pictures) storage * PDA (so I can SSH/VNC to my home Debian GNU/Linux box) * satellite cable TV * headphone out * projector (to project to wall etc. for parties, I think hologram projector is asking too much) * be able to hook up external (BOSE?) speakers * output to connect to "real" home stereo, TV, etc. * picture camera * video camera * charge lasts one month + * Linux based * bio-signal monitor * heck, throw in radar detector!
I can't possibly be the only one that wants one of these!
You obviously are not familiar with Buddhism. Buddhism is not based on some knowledge from a hidden source and highly encourages its followers to be critical of its methods and says that whenever science finds something contradictory to its tenets, then its tenets will change to fit the way things are. Why, you can even find Einstein quotes saying something like, "The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope with the scientific needs it will be Buddhism."
I bought my first PC, an Intel 486dx2-66 in early '95. I had Windows 3.11 WFW and the thing sucked so bad that I almost decided to return it or put it in the closet, just not use it. Opening applications would crash the system! Nevermind its "multitasking." And then a friend said, "You may want to try out OS/2" Wow, it was not my computer that sucked it was my OS! In learning why this superior OS was not more popular I got to hate M$, even though I did tech support for Windows '95 - for M$("Saving the world one PC at a time" is the way I looked at it). With OS/2 I could start a Windows 3.1 emultation session, max its system resources, do the same again, minimize that, play Heretic or Doom (without sound) and even though switching took a few seconds, I could download with an OS/2 app and the download would keep on going, woo hoo!! Once I made Windows not my primary OS I have had much fun working with computers.
One of my friends commented how much today's OSs suck since we used to run OS/2 Warp on a 486dx4-120 on 32 MB RAM as snappily as Windows XP on a Pentium 4 with 1 GB of RAM does today. Now I smile because I have more RAM (768) than my first HDD had space (420) and I have more video memory (64) than my first computer had memory (12) and the fact that if RAM cost the same as when I had my first computer (~$40/MB) I'd have over $30,000 in memory.
Anyway, I ditched Warp when it became apparent to me IBM did not care and I ditched Red Hat for Debian about three years ago when I decided that Debian's interests matched mine more than Red Hat's did. Thank you for letting me share.

I respectfully disagree, sir. I that the goal was "only" to create FUD: "Look, if you use Linux, you could get sued, why even Daimler-Chrysler got sued..." Nevermind that even Micros~1 gets sued and nevermind all the SCO lawsuits will be thrown out. Pure FUD. Methinks when Longhorn comes out, half the ads will say, "Do you want to risk your business getting sued??? Buy Longhorn!!!"
It's not going to happen, dude, people don't have a chance against our corporate-backed politicians. Remember, they can now lock you up indefinitely without telling anyone why, they have bigger guns than, and they have Billions of dollars to spend on propaganda.:(
I'm sick of all this crap about free software is the devil. Free software isn't the problem.
Ah, but if you are used to making millions or billions of dollars selling proprietary software, then it is the devil and a problem you should "fix" any possible way.
A bunch of months ago I formatted several of my partitions with ReiserFS and I was happy with it, it was fast and more space efficient than ext3... until I was trying to get UT2003 working with my ATI Radeon... the system locked up hard and after the hard reset some files (my lilo.conf, which shouldn't have been written to at that time) were hosed. I'm back with ext3 as data integrity is important to me.
Judging from posts here, it appears that ReiserFS is still experimental and shouldn't be used by those that care about their data, hey?

Efficiency = Work done / Energy put into system

If only they started putting a bullet through the head of spammers...
I was thinking a better solution would be to put a bullet through the head of people who make purchases off SPAM!
... to the detriment of human civilization?
I'm not sure where you have been, but it's been a while since the profits of corporations surpassed near everything else in importance.
The goal of all this is to scare users away from open source software...
What if the purpose is NOT to scare users away from OSS but to scare IBM and other large corporations from participating in its development?
... should I therefore be extradited to the US for an appearance before judge judy?
I think you're safe as long as you don't piss off one of our corporations.

Forgent views the JPEG data-compression standard as possibly applying to MP3 players...
... and to Cliff Notes and perhaps Reader's Digest, too.
... and they'll have to do it in broad daylight.
No problem, they'll just license more of SCO's IP!
And you would only get fined $20 for sticking up the liquor store even though you ran out with much more than that!
I'm adding to my own post because I meant to preview instead of submit...
Rather like you delete cookies from IE but the index.dat file remains and you can't delete it from your own profile.! What's up with that?
... what happens when the first security hole is found?
Well, I bet that that hole (at least one of them) is what Microsoft gives the gov in exchange for the right to maintain their monopoly!
ROFL
