Well casinos get to make the rules, as long as there are suckers who actually beleive that they have a chance in hell to make a buck off the house...
Counting is a way of turning the odds in your favor, hence it defeats the whole purpose of the house. Almost every game in Vegas is designed to have favorable odds for the house, maybe all except poker in which the house just takes fee. Couting levels the playing field somewhat, and well.... did you expect the casinos to leave it like that?
LOL Do you have any freaking idea about IC and board layout and design? Jeezus, do you have an idea about what you are saying? You do not design something and find out at the end that your CPU is too big for your process. I mean that is the CENTRAL element to your design! In fact in those days CPUs were socketed using standard TTL sockets, and the 68K was no bigger than the 8086.
The 68K was a 16bit bused processor, and IBM were producing mainframes and other systems with far more demanding production technologies. Believe me IBM had the facilities for dealing with the 68K socket!
LOL, jeezus tap dancing christ that has to be one of the most moronic comments I have ever read, and the fact that it was modded interesting means that you are not alone out there.
" The old saying, 'nobody ever got fired for buying IBM', rings true for Intel as well."
Are you for real? LOL, Intel entry in the server market was as cheap low end, nothing to do with "reliabitlity" or anything. All that intel has in corporate accounts is: well we are cheaper than sun. Now there is someone saying, well we're cheaper than Sun AND Intel. Intel is SOL, this whole new representation of Intel as quality server stuff is laughable. LOL!
But this one is far more aggresive and dangerous.... plus it is more related to humans as it has some kind of speech abilities, it almost sounds like English but not quite.
This is a most interesting specimen indeed, truely a missing link of sorts.. not fully ape, yet not fully human. This specimen also inhabits Northern American pastures, therefore its study should be of the upmost priority as this could be the very first native great ape of the Northen Americas.

Ladies and gentelman we have the first fresh of the boat self hating troll. Today is truly a day to remember, for Troll population has added yet another member that enhances the diversity of our Troll park, reflecting the realities of the melting pot that is America!
Yeah, were are those papers? Is that the same list that McCarthy claimed that he had, but that he never made public? Were all that evidence that he claimed that he had, but that he never revealed? Is that why the soviet union exists no more, and where are all those communist in the Department of State?
Yeah, we have heard of them.... except that most inertial units nowadays use GPS too, you know you goota get some sort of reference for your error and drift. Most new inertial units combine the accelerometers and gyroscopes to give you altitude, pitch and yaw, plus acceleration, plus GPS to combine that into the Kalman to get rid of dead reckoning.
It is a tad hard thing to do when you do not have a human navigator on board to do the corrections....
I guess lack of vocabulary never stopped you from opening your mouth,eh?
aeroplane
\A"["e]r*o*plane`\, n. [A["e]ro- + plane.] (A["e]ronautics) A light rigid plane used in a["e]rial navigation to oppose sudden upward or downward movement in the air, as in gliding machines; specif., such a plane slightly inclined and driven forward as a lifting device in some flying machines; hence, a flying machine using such a device. These machines are called monoplanes, biplanes, triplanes, or quadruplanes, according to the number of main supporting planes used in their constraction. Being heavier than air they depend for their levitation on motion imparted by one or more propellers actuated by a gasoline engine. They start from the ground by a run on small wheels or runners, and are guided by a steering apparatus consisting of horizontal and vertical movable planes. There are many varieties of form and construction, which in some cases are known by the names of their inventors.
Except that system is a distributed memory cluster, not a single image vector system like the Japanese (wich is over 40tf BTW).
I would like people to stop calling clusters supers:). Sure 10 million rabbits could pull a few train carts, but that doesn't make them a train engine:)
They bought part of CRAY, the one that made the CS6400 server, which was a really neat SMP system based on supersparcs.
The rest of the company went to SGI.
So basically the server/sparc division went to SUN and then they got the technology for their Enterprise systems.
The rest of the supercomputer (the Alpha based and the Vector based units) units went to SGI, which did.... nothing with them. Oh, yeah they named some interconnections as CRAYlink or something, but they had 0 CRAY technology on them, they just wanted the name.
Same with TERA, they wanted the name and a way of ditching their crappy TM technology.
LOL, I am an electronics engineer. I know perfectly well that a microphone is pretty much a "reverse" speaker. Anyway, well a few things here, did any of you just try and sit down and think about the logistics of recording MILLIONS of freaking microphones? And even if they did have such an infraestructure, wouldn't it a tad naive from the KGB to think that every daming conversation was going to happen in the kitchen, right next to the speaker (speakers make very very very poor air microphones in case you did not kow, oh wait I am sure you knew that right?)
A little bit of common sense never hurt anyone really.
I do not think this president can be bothered to read period. He can barelly handle all those children books, plus e-mails don't have fancy pictures in them most of the time, and you can not color them up.... So yeah why should he bothered to read unsolicited e-mail, afterall it is not the people who he is serving anyways.
The R16K was NEVER intended for the embeded market. BUt of course you have no idea what you are talking about, the MIPS R14/16/18K come from the SGI MIPS side of things not the spun off MIPS Computer side of things those are the guys doing all the embeded stuff. But of course lack of knowledge never stopped you from posting arbitrary spec numbers pulled out of hte thing air...

One question, how are you supposed to "put on" some music without ELECTRICITY? Unless you have some mighty batteries that is :).

BTW IBM was using the 68K in other products.
Who in their right mind implements an IIS farm, and spends $100K to boot, jeezus!
"Go price out an eight-way Dell 8450 server. Then tell me about low-end."
Go and price a nice sun fire, or a nice IBM regatta and get back to us kid. Yes those Dells are low end in the realm of servers....

Actually IBM bought Sequent in the late 90s (98/99) I believe.

... than small ceramic antennae and lightweight electronics? :)

Yeah, what onboard sensors would be those, intuition and luck?
Not Elvis.... got me confused there for a moment.

Are you stupid or stupid... yeah they also had microphones implanted on ones testicles to hear what they were taling about while in bed too.
Jeezzz.
Except that WordPerfect existed way before Word....
So what is your point?
Nice, except that THEIR planes fly through OUR airspace.
They do not like our privacy laws, don't fly our airspace.

Actually it was the Rangers, and... his previous ventures in the oil business were all failures. Now I see why.....
Actually R3K's were sold at higher speed rates (40MHz was the top offered by SGI) since it is still produced for embeded cores.
The R16K was NEVER intended for the embeded market.

I assume that the American system is doing great nowadays too, eh?
