From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):
Corporeal \Cor*po"re*al\ (k[^o]r*p[=o]"r[-e]*al), a. [L.
corporeus, fr. corpus body.]
Having a body; consisting of, or pertaining to, a material
body or substance; material; -- opposed to spiritual or
immaterial.
Crazy world, isn't it? You should some of my shitty comments that have been modded up - you can max out your karma 'round here in about 3 days flat if you just randomise your rants.
Sun has NEVER made a Personal Computer, they're not designed for personal use and they're not marketed to individual users.
It's pretty debatable whether a dual 2Ghz PowerMac G5 is (really) a Personal Computer (most will certainly be used as graphics/video workstations), though I have used a dual 533Mhz PowerMac G4 for nearly three years at home and it's been an EXCELLENT Personal Computer.
Still, HT is an advanced and valuable architectural feature of the P4 / Xeon. Intel DO deserve credit for implementing such a fine bit of technology, just as IBM deserve credit for all the powerful features of the PPC 970, Moto for their Altivec achievements and AMD for their breakthrough Opteron design.
I'd like to know the REASON why they turned HT off.
Maybe things are a LOT different in California to the way they are in the UK (actually, no maybe about it) but we only have 95 or 98 octane petrol (gasoline) here, albeit priced at my local station at a rather scary 72.9 pence ($1.31) per LITRE (for the 95).
Funnily enough, Mac users have been almost completely ignorant of SPEC up until now precisely BECAUSE Apple hadn't been trotting out these "bogus benchmarks".
FWIW, it makes sense to me why Apple would use GCC and why they would have SSE2 optimisations (and Altivec) disabled.
Quite why they decided to disable HT on the Xeon is completely beyond me - maybe someone could clue me in on that one...

"What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" do you not understand"
The point?
The word you wanted is "corporal". Punishment cannot possess a physical body, but a physical body can be punished.
You see?
...primarily because I dont use Windows. I'm a gloater by nature.

Spam is "chopped pork and ham" right? So you can NEVER sort the Spam from the ham - Spam CONTAINS ham!
You could sort Spam from beef, I should think.

It's just poorly written, not a question of comprehension. Anyway, we all know that Americans don't understand sarcasm...
I know what you're saying, but it becomes clear (er) upon reading the rest of the dreadful piece.
More life wasting content from Dashslot.
Good lord that's a crap idea!
I don't think it was a Yikes! that he used.
so you're just an idiot then?

"If they had any brains they'd toss out a version of their OS optimized for x86, and stop selling overpriced outdated hardware"
So, what you're asserting is that PowerPC is oudated so Apple should use x86?
Look, are you sure you've got this right?

Fuck!
At least we get SOMETHING for our enormous price premium.
Not enough, though.
91 octane !?!

Do you mod your own posts up because no-one else ever will?
Just curious.

Oh, I recognised the quote, it's just that I HATED THAT FUCKING SONG!
Yes, it should have been.
Spellcheckers aren't much good if you can't be bothered to look at your screen...
"I wonder how one of these Apples would stack up against an SGI Fuel with an R16K."
I'll tell you when our G5 arrives. For now, let's just say that our existing dual 1.42Ghz machine kicks it's arse all over the room.
And our PCs are WAY faster than that!
you mean it's attached to you?
that's hideous!
congratulations! you've just discovered one of the reasons why tabs suck arse!
your sig is quite the most nauseating thing I've ever read
