Which is why you may be even more surprised to know that Iraq has had elections before.... So what is your point?
Was Iraq invaded so that person could vote or because there were WMD's? Just curious, because the argument that you people seem to use to justify the invasion of as SOVEREIGN country on a pre-emptive basis that has lead to the death of tens of thousands of civilians seems to change on an almost weekly basis.
Intergraph never used MIPS you clod, they used the Fairchild/Nationa Semi Clipper, one of the first RISC chips in the market. Also one of the first superscalars, which is what Intel stole. Intergraph later bought the processor section of Fairchild, so the Clipper technology was actually Intergraph's.
How the previous post was modded informative is beyond me, as the poster has no clue what he is talking about.
It gets even funnier when he had nothing to do with the Mac besides the earliest of stages years before the machine was done. Not only that but he was in charge of documentation.
Naming himself "co-creator" or just making himself as part of the team who created the mac is intellectually disingenuous at best.
He was in charge of documentation, how that makes him somehow an expert in human/computer intergaces is beyond me really.
... Airbus not only makes big honking planes, it also competes in the medium plane market. Basically the only Boeing model that had no direct competition from Airbus was in the xtra large segment w. the 747.
Ironically enough most of the chief engineers/scientist for that achievement were not Americans but Germans. As soon as they started dying off the US has not gone back to put more "flags.":)
It is not hate, but historical fact. Unless you are an American, in which case you have not much historical background and it is understandable. The state of Israel was funded by terrorist. Whether it is morally good or bad, it is left as a matter of opinion.
As usual a terrorist is some body else's freedom fighter.
"America is under attack." The President told us his instinct was to project calm, not to have the country see an excited reaction at a moment of crisis. The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening."
LOL, I guess that is what the deer we encoutered last night on the road was trying to project... strength and calm when it saw our car coming for it.
What is this multitasking magic you keep on talking abut? What manner of computer devil are you speaking such nonsense! Computers being able of doing more that one thing at once... phew! What will it be next using those silly things called transistors to create logic gates? Don't make me laugh.... excuse me while I submit my punched cards.
Not really, I think you were thinking of the CPI... since the IPC for the P4 is actually higher than the P3 since it has a few extra functional units.
The problem is that the P4's pipeline is 2x and 3x as long as the P3 (for the 2 and 3Ghz machines respectivelly). So basically a single stage of a newer P4 does 1/3 of what the old P3 stages did. Now, if you factor in things like the cost of branches and lack of ILP and so on... the overall CPI (clocks per instruction) for the P4 is higher than the P3. I.e. the average instruction takes more cycles to complete. However the "cycles" for the P4 are shorter so that was the tradeoff Intel designers were looking at.
Unfortunatedly, very deep pipelines need a shitload of storage structures and the fast switching times means more power consumption and worse leakage on the structures. So they ended up with a very fast pipeline, that was chugging glows of power: Not a good thing for a laptop.
Funny because some people were claiming that these two characters were republicans. There is a whole "Southpark Republican" sort of movement out there.
In sort, I just don't give a shit what their politics are, even though I am a pinko commie bastart I tend to enjoy their work. Although sometimes when I read some of their interviews they just come accross as being plain retarded, and it seems hard to associate some of their productions with their every day personas. But my guess it is that their inverviews are just designed to piss off whoever happens to be reading them.
Bottom line, don't take what people say too seriously. Even if they make damn funny stuff...:)
A lot of drug king pins in Colombia do a helluva charitable work actually, some are almost revered as heros. If you ignore how they got the money to begin with, then yeah... they are great people. It is how they got the money they are using to do charitable work that is the issue.
Not really, it is because some asshole screewriter thinks that he is better than the original author and can make an even better piece of literature. Which in most cases is bogus, since if the screenwriter was so "good" he would have been a real writer to begin with, not some sort of hired hand to butcher somebody else's work.
There have been movies that have been followed the original book almost to a T, and came out alright, for example: Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, and Fight Club.
In the other extreme you have Forrest Gump, if you read the book and watch the movie, they have nothing to do with each other. The sidekick Bubba is made black and killed right away in the movie, the lady Jenny in the book ends up as a soccer mum, whereas in the movie she gets AIDS and dies because she dared to be independent. And on, and on... that was not an adaptation but a total modification. Or butchery in most cases....
That wasn't bad wording on your part, now you blame it on other people no matter what (first was Kerry's campaign, now is Kerry's supporters... blah blah blah)
You tell them, thos poor rat bastards who died face down in the mud in 'Nam had it easy, poor Bush had to deal with his rich lineage that kept him out of harms way and even getting in the way of his own will! Gad, I must vote for him them... the horrors he had to endure sipping those margaritas in the TANG while those less privileged than him had to go and fight.
Actually SUN had optical mice since the early 80's, in fact SUN's mice was nothing but a repackaged Mouse Systems part. Most workstation vendors sold these mice, and it was also available for PC's... I tink I may still have one somewhere. Optical mice are nothing new at all, the main difference is that those mice needed the special reflective mouse pad.

This anecdote sort of describes this sort of "creator":

Well since all races have about 99.999999% of commonality in their DNA make up. It is safe to assume a commong ancestor, i.e. a single point of birth.
Multiple evolutions leading to a common result in parallel would be theoretically rather hard to achieve, almost to the point of impossibility.
Ironically enough most of the chief engineers/scientist for that achievement were not Americans but Germans. As soon as they started dying off the US has not gone back to put more "flags." :)

Actually the president was born and breed in the North East, he just pretends to be from Texas....
I take that you
a) Don't know what threads are
b) Have never programmed or used a solaris machine
c) Have no clue what a wonderful thing Kernel threads are
d) You may even think that Linux' threading model is actually elegant.
e) You wouldn't know what the real world was if it hit you with a clue stick.

No... no.. no! Get with the program! It is no longer "creationism" but rather "inteligent design"! Same old creationism, but half the carbs!
But how old was Bush when he came up with the other internets?

Oh Geee... like you don't have ignorant people in the US. At least those jackasses in Europe could single out your country in a map.

Right, because obvioulsy there is not a single capacitor in your PSU,right?
Believe it or not a capacitor main enemy is not heat... well, reasonable heat that is.
