Sure, its not *the* answer since the goal is native code, but it would extend the transition period out long enough to make it stick, if everyone was onboard with whatever alternative was decided on.
Not trying to sound like a troll here, but x86 should have been retired decades ago. It designed in a totally different era and was never intended to scale well and its been a series of hacks to get it to do so. ( it was impossible to predict where we were going back then, the cpu industry was far too immature )
Sure, they have done wonders keeping it moving, but its long since time to start over with a clean architecture.
My preference would be MIPS or SPARC inspired, but thats just me, either way its time to move on/up.
Ok, mod me down but this guy that you people put in charge is a socialist nut case that needs to be tried for treason for refusing to uphold his oath to protect the constitution.
If the service is there, Ill use it as i please. If they don't like it, then they can close it and and charge a subscription ( and not have me as a customer ).
While you may not agree with my attitude ( which is your right ), i'm tired of bending over for companies and really don't give a damn what they like or don't like anymore. Screw em.
I still disagree. It was marked private by the owner, it should remain as such. Any thing less borderlines on self-incrimination which is prohibited here in this country.
Now, if its public facing pages, by all means use it in court.
Sure, public information is fair game Watching you mow your grass, or cruise the mall.
But what abut watching you in your house? That is private. Why is this not also private ? The 'its on the public internet so live with it' argument shouldn't apply as you specifically marked it private.
Its not much different then reading others emails 'because its on the internet'...
See, i don't see a problem with offering a file ( or downloading it after its offered ), and don't equate it to shoplifting in the least.
Now, if he was selling access or making $ off banner ads due to the downloads, then we would be on the same side of the fence. Tho i would still argue against a *criminal* charge since the original object was not harmed and is still in 'sale-able condition', I fully agree its illegal in that case.
I fully expect to be modded down for it, but this is just nuts.
Our economy is on the verge of collapsing, we have people around the world trying to kill us and an administration that is walking us down the path of socialism and they waste tax dollars on a stupid record..
Now tax dollars will be used to keep them in business instead of producing decent products. Federal criminal agents will be involved in what is a civil court issue.
Tho many will say 'good, jail him he's a bad person', few will understand what is really going on here.
And they hurt my ears, so now i have to choose a non apple product ( if they introduce this into the higher end ipod models ) when i upgrade my ipods in a few years.
Of course i predicted this years ago, slowly closing the analog hole for the average joe, and people laughed. I hate being right sometimes.

Like ARM? It seems to be slowly gaining market share.
Itainum had marketing issues, transmeta, while a cool idea i don't think really translated ( pun intended ) into useful product.
PowerPC as an alternative did well until apple pulled the plug, and is still there in the IBM world.
SPARC isn't dead either.
Just like apple was in a world of hurt when they dropped the more elegant PowerPC for ix86?
Yup, really killed them off didn't it.
( I still think it was a bad move, but no sense harping on it now.. )
A complete change over would allow a more controlled HAL standard to be developed too.

And release a public statement so the users know they are getting screwed due to greed.
While they don't have a lot of choice according to your description ( like most of us ) they can at least file complaints.
You continue to believe that and continue to worship that bastard... You are a lost cause and i'm finished here.
Is looking more and more like a viable solution for future banking needs.
Plenty of facts out there if you take the time to remove the blinders and look. ( and then use your brain afterwards )
This country was built on a foundation of a Republic. Anything that works to undermine/undo that is treason.

Some of us don't believe in restriction and TOS

To scare off the average joe user.
Its not about hardcore techies, that isn't the market they are after.
Because doing it this way bypasses peoples legal rights and opens the door to other easy abuses down the road.
No legal restriction to having an ISP throttle you for any reason, as long as its in the contract.
Well, that is a new one to me. Last time i got a set of walls i had to pay for them.
Haven't we heard this before? That has worked out for us rather well hasn't it.
What company would not turn to offensive attacks if threatened?
I still disagree. It was marked private by the owner, it should remain as such. Any thing less borderlines on self-incrimination which is prohibited here in this country.

Yes, you make sense, but i happen to disagree.
If its free, its there to be used.
So its abuse if you actually use what is offered?
Odd way of thinking.

We have none.

Changing laws to convert a civil corporate issue into a criminal issue also fall within my statement.
Its still industries buying laws. Its still misuse of public funds/resources.
And i don't care what the purchased laws say, its still not a 'crime against society'.
I fully expect to be modded down for it, but this is just nuts.
