if you've typically got 3-6 browser windows open then why the f**k aren't you using a tabbed browser? On OSX, Chimera, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera ALL support this - Chimera best of all. If you must use IE, do it on a PC. The iBook is a great machine - but a performance machine it is not. If you're main application is surfing, why the hell did you get a computer with such a tiny screen and keyboard in the first place?
and this is precisely my point. If you judge a car by it's quarter mile time and 0-60 spec, you'll NEVER understand or design a decent sports car. As drag racers have shown, when it comes to a quarter mile showdown, there ain't no substitute for a ROCKET.
And where do you suppose that GT40 was designed and built?
It was a fantastic car and has proved a huge influence on subsequent American designs. In fact, I think that the F-350 Tonka toy is largely based on it...
You'rre wrong, it's ONLY Americans who have a heavier-is-better and ain't-no-substitute-for-tons approach to car design and appreciation. Most Europeans and Japanese would much rather have a Lotus Exige than an F-350. Honestly.
not the same class at all. The Viper is a laughable truck-engine-with-a-plastic-top marketing device. the NSX is a real sports car with proper design attention paid to handling characteristics as well as drag racing ability. Americans know absolutely nothing about sports cars.
current top of the range Mac has 4MB of L3 cache, as it happens. ANyway, why the hell not? If a desktop PC can have 128MB of graphics memory (256MB by next year? 512MB??) why shouldn't an Apple Xserve have 32, 64 or 128MB of L3 cache? If that's the configuration that gives the desired performance, Apple could really eat some low end Sun box and high end Xeon sales.
no he didn't, he was bragging about the huge displacement of the truck engined loser-mobile, the Viper. Nothing but a cock shaped midlife crisis machine. Proper sports cars always annihalate stupid drag-racing marketing projects like the Viper and the Corvette. One day an American will build a REAL sports car - but that day is still a long way off while you guys still favour drag and oval racing to DRIVING. It's a real shame, I'm sure that there are just as many naturally talented drivers in the 'states as anywhere else.

I really don't understand this attitude, surely "America" is PRIMARILY a result of what happens in your coast cities. Subtract New York and California from the USA and you'd probably be (economically) smaller than the UK. Give California the credit it deserves - it's the powerhouse that drives not just America's economy, but - to a large extent - the rest of the free world's too. It MATTERS to us in the UK when California suffers rolling blackouts. It's NEWS.
not necessarily. If the cars were being broken into / stolen by a small group of individuals, then detaining those individuals CAN stop the problem. If they're in prison, then their law breaking has to be deferred until they get out.
I think the problem is that the "freedom to choose" has been for the telcos in the US and the customers in the EU. He may well be right that CDMA is the one true RF standard, but how does this help the poor sap buying a 'phone who can't get the services he wants from his telco at a price he wants to pay? GSM's ubiquity is the trump card - when it comes to wireless data, America seems to have chosen WiFi over CDMA anyway - and they're leading the world with THAT, no doubt about it.

are you living in a cave? AMD's Athlon XP is clocked at well over 2Ghz now, the 2100+ model that I got a few months ago runs at 1733Mhz.
and what 4Ghz P4 would this be? shit, you'll be telling us that a 99Ghz G6 beats a 266Mhz PII next.

only about 90% of them - andthey're using 95 too.
no, really.

>there is no replacement for displacement
turbo and supercharging has long been just such a substitute. Try matching your idiotic Viper against a Group B rally car.

fuck, are you ever stupid

a Caterham Superlight R will destroyyou're bloated Viper. Engine displacement? 2litres.
U R A fool.
wrong - fastest PowerPC is 1.25Ghz.
Motorola MPC 7455.

are we talking a worldwide shortage of CORNFLAKES!? :-]
nope, it's Generation X, 10.2 - or "Jagwyre"

They're selling to Russian and Chinese mobsters, of course!
I got 186 KB/sec in London, UK. I'm on an E1 connected via my ISP, Globix.
oh! I thought it was CROP, now I know it was CRAP I'm really LIVID!
I could stick my cock through and scare the shit out of the audience!

AN player?? Surely that should be A player. Physician, heal thyself!
