I don't see AMD64 showing up in Intel's processor line for a long, long time. I expect they'll build their own set of 64-bit X86 instructions and specifications. After all, they didn't adopt 3dnow! or 3dnow!ext, did they?
In fact, that's probably why Microsoft hasn't released a 'final' AMD64 port of their OS yet. They're expecting a split in the market, and they're not going to get caught in bed with the side that hasn't historically been dominant.
I wouldn't say he was an advocate. He merely said he understood why wired companies were freaking out.
However, I definately noticed a drop in the sound quality when he switched back to VOIP. I also noticed he hadn't canceled his landline subscription yet.;)
I guess I'll bite. There's no reason you can't plug a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer into a Mac...it's still USB. And you'll have seven buttons. Enjoy.
It being a privately-run establishment, I don't have a problem with privately-run security measures. My problem is when a tape is subpoena'd for one investigation, and the authorities use it to in another investigation, or to start another investigation. (Kind of like using a warrant to search a man's posessions as a basis for indighting his roommate in a separate case.)
The major clash between cyber cafes and video cameras is that those cameras can catch everything people do on their screen. Most of the information on the internet is read or interpereted with the eyes. Most information communicated by people over the Internet is typed in. Having a video camera on your screen is like having a wiretap on a payphone. It is an invasion of privacy.
Except any code that does anything like swap bytes or whatever. There was a Slashdot article recently about how a lot of x86 Linux applications' code out there expects 32 bits, and doesn't quite work right as 64 bits.
Uh, 50% of people could be below the median starting salary. And the median is unlikely to be the average, unless you have a truly remarkable data set. (And no, you can't arbitrarily drop outliers.)
I've been having trouble with X lately, where even if I start the X app (after setting the display variable) in a vt, I lose usage of my keyboard. Rather frustrating, really. I'm trying to get reliable, reproducible errors so I can submit a bug report, but even attaching gdb causes it to behave differently.
That doesn't make sense. That means they shut down their web server, any sort of ping response, and any of a plethora of ports one would expect to find. But they didn't shut down the gateway.
I wish we knew a lot about their servers...this would be a great oppertunity to do a real-life stress test of a web server and Apache. Anyone run the latest nmap on them yet? (The one that determines version numbers, etc?) Netcraft's data is incomplete.
It seems like we've got the future of commercial free software caught between a mad dog and a looming elephant.
In any case, I can see a couple of trivial ways around the first part of the patent. Not requiring two separate intent-to-submit notices, for one. Not requiring intent-to-submit notices, for another.
I will say, though, that their process does look pretty. I wonder what they'd charge to who to license it.
(On a side note, doesn't this make you think they might be trying to move OSS development outside from their main organization, in order to minimize future risk of litigation?)
That, and whoever made the conversion to metric from the old (English) blueprints didn't come out with the same answer as printed on the newer (metric) blueprints.
It could be that there was a conversion error, or the newer, metric blueprints could have designed a slightly differently-built machine.

The point is, they aren't, and weren't. Apparently, Microsoft didn't push DirectX on the X-Box.

With three processors, it could make for a great cluster component. :)
Next? A rack-mounted x-bock more powerful than an Xserv.
Ah, but he'd need a good enough xerox machine. (And I've never seen one that good.)

Win 95 runs on DOS 7. I'm not sure what 98 runs on.

Or, Streets of SimCity.
God, I loved that game.
I clicked the link, and couldn't find a unix command anywhere on the page!
I feel cheated. (And addicted.)
I liked the Naked Gun 2 1/2, where the walls sprayed back.
So start a class action lawsuit.
At issue is the necessity for the compiler to be able to find parallel sections of code. That's what things like OpenMP are for.

I'm no network guru, but that does seem odd.
Whoops. And I hit preview, too.

This is going to be a serious blow to the moral credibility of the OSS community, not just Linux users.
We seriously need some sort of petition stating we do not support Linux or OSS, but not underhanded tactes like DDOSing and viruses.
Maybe someone I saw on Slashdot will finally do that parody of "Bye bye!" ("vi! vi!)
He certainly helped me set me straight.
I've been in love with computers ever since.
er...
You're nuts...they run SCO UNIX.
