If you pull the CPU chip thingie out and lick it with your tongue, you will feel many many more bumps on a CPU that has many cores.. Those bumps are like nipples. The more nipples you can fit in at one time the more milk you can get in one suck!
Thank you for an enlightening response. Very interesting reading.. One question that popped up in my mind as I read it is does this mean that one or more cores need to be reserved to "manage" the other cores and determine the point at which adding more cores to a "problem" is slowing performance vs speeding up performance? Perhaps the measurement of speed and efficiency needs to become more AI and intuitive on an on-going basis. Obviously the researchers could determine that at some point adding more cores wasn't improving performance. Could this kind of observation be built into the operating system so the cores are managed better?
What would be useful is a knowledge system in something like an ipad. Video, diagrams, quick look up of information, links to related auto systems.. presented in a easily navigated format that allows the mechanic to quickly absorb information and act on it. Better be a physically tough ipad though:)
Governments are very concerned about security. Recall the heavy role that cryptology played in WWII. When a gov't like Brazil get's closed source software, they don't know what's inside of that black box. They have to "trust" that there isn't anything naughty.. With OSS that is not true.. they can look at it all they want. Or write their own.. Why would Close source software have a naughty naughty elf hidden away in it (ok I'm just looking forward to Christmas)... isn't M$ an American company? Could the NSA have it's thumb in a few distributed pies? If I was worried about gov't security, this is the one thing I would really be concerned about..
They are good at pack strategy too.. I made a ham sandwich and one dog started barking at the front door. Of course no one was there.. When I got back, my sandwich was gone. Later I caught both of them with mustard on their nose!
Maybe your Uncle is the asshole? Or was.. I suspect that those who follow a different piper often get labeled "asshole" by the "cut your hair shorter than your collar or else" crowd.. Oh wait.. I'm projecting.. nevermind..
I haven't been there in about 10 years, but if I was there this year, I would be too busy dancing, sexing, eating shrooms to mess around with that tech shit.. sometimes you have to just walk away from the tech stuff and just "experience":)
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

My 32K apple beats that story all hollow :)
Ok everyone check their join number.. it should decrement by one..

The big difference though is their "intent"..
Hopefully they have all their ducks in a row..
Someone mod this funny :)

How about Richard Simmons? Just picture it! Go ahead I dare you!

But we don't want you (the NSA) to secure the internet..
Sorry.. I'm just not going to get off unless I'm using vlc..

How much would you have paid for a book? It's reasonable to take that risk, we take it with books all the time..
I'm sure a lot of you would recall that HBO special.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealDoll
Nah, there would be a lot of forgeries..
Stay tuned for episode two! "The Bride of Dan McBride"
If we buy the company, won't we own Unix? Then we can release it to the public domain and save the world! Heroes!

Sex? Drugs? I saw NOTHING, NOTHING I say *shrugging shoulders*
