All are for dual-CPU configs, the first number is the base int rate and the second the base FP rate. The Opteron numbers I got from the 2003q2 page and the Xeon and Itanium2 numbers from 2003q3 (I didn't see any Opteron results there). Based on this it looks like the Itanium2 is comfortably ahead (in performance anyway, probably not in price), but I'd love to take a look if you have other information.
Is that pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, like "metaphysics"? Or does it have it on the second, like "metastasize" or "mendacity"? I like the second way better.
The Kyocera 7135 is a pretty cool smartphone, and you can download the SDK for it for free here. I doubt if this would be enough information to allow you to replace the underlying Palm OS with your own OS, but you could probably write whatever sorts of programs you like to run on top of it. Have a look and see if it's what you're after.
I guess it's only us old-timers who can remember the bad old days, before class notes were downloadable off the web. You unfortunate youngsters will never know the joy of hurrying to scribble something down before the professor erases it from the chalkboard and then trying to decipher it later...
If the guy doesn't have a Mac (and I assume he doesn't otherwise he would have already bought the iPod) this doesn't do him much good. Almost all PC firewire ports I've seen are of the 4-pin variety, so no power.
You think it's a "good thing" that Apple charged you a lot for your iPod? I paid $400 for one of the original 5G models, and now whenever I look at it it reminds me how early adopters always get the shaft.:-)
That's not what it says. It says that 1.6.8 is twice the size of the new release. At least the submitter has the excuse of being a non-native English speaker. What's yours?
If people are going to Starbucks they must like it, they don't need your permission and they are perfectly capable of making up their own minds. Who are you to tell others what kind of coffee they should drink?
My Kyocera 7135 came with a program called EIS, which sounds like it does what you want. It doesn't use a proxy, and it can show you pages either wrapped horizontally to the screen width or with regular formatting where you might have to scroll to see the full width. I think the retail version goes by the name 'iPanel'.
FWIW, I think the reason some of them use proxies is not to save CPU power but rather to save bandwidth. That way all the unrenderable HTML can be stripped out beforehand, and the pictures can be scaled and reduced in color depth so they can be sent quicker.
I just got a Kyocera 7135 from Verizon, and the America's Choice plans now include Express Network (1XRTT) access. The EN usage just comes out of your minutes, so if you use it nights/weekends it's free. I think it's pretty cool so far.
We performed a detailed cost-benefit analysis and found that it would cost far more to support fringe platforms like the Mac than we could ever hope to recoup from the resulting small increase in business. HTH, HAND.
When they say they're using the "AOL" browser or email client, doesn't that tell you what you need to know in order to help them? That is, if you wanted to do your job and actually help them, instead of being a smartass and making fun of them.
AOL never used the standalone IE in the first place as far as I can tell. I'd guess they'll continue to embed the ActiveX control just like they always have.
I've been using one of the Thunderbird test builds on Windows XP for awhile now and I think it's already much better than anything else I've tried. I wouldn't call it "lightweight", though. The Task Manager shows it using ~40M.
I use MyIE2 and like it a little better than Mozilla. For example, annoying pages that open with "target=_blank" to make a new window get made into tabs in MyIE2. I've NEVER been able to get Mozilla to do this. Also, the GameCenter pages at sportsline.com for following in-progress baseball games are a lot cooler in IE than in Mozilla (not Mozilla's fault, but...)
As far as crashes go, I've never had any crashing problems with either Mozilla or MyIE2. Maybe I'm just lucky.
First of all, you better get a tune-up on your humor detector, it seems to be on the fritz.
Having said that, are you really claiming that Microsoft's EULA says I can't write software on a Windows machine and distribute it under a Free or Open Source license? I think your fear of Microsoft is causing you to hallucinate.

Do you have a link for this? I looked over at www.specbench.org and here's what I saw:
Opteron 1.8GHz: 25.0, 24.7
Itanium2 1.5GHz: 30.3, 42.6
Xeon 2.8GHz: 26.2, 19.0

The only time I see it spelled "flavour" is in British recipe books. As in, "boil until all flavour and texture has vanished". :-)

How are those ARCnet hubs holding up?
Yeah, if only that processor in the 1541 had some sort of mass storage device attached to it...

Many Palm-based devices have thumb keyboards nowadays. You can get ssh2 here.

Either that or you'd see oven mitts at CompUSA marketed as "PDA accessories".

Mr. Bank CEO
You put your WEED in it!
At least "ECMAScript" is pronounceable, but I agree that it sounds more like a horrid skin condition than a programming language.

"Confederate swastika"? Is that like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Do yourself a favor and check out the "Deltron 3030" CD. You won't be sorry.
