ERrrm no
Mac PPCs are still 32-bit cpus really.
even the current pentium SSE2 instructions can handle more than 32bits.. (possibly 128 I'm not sure).
But that's not exactly the same thing
Firstly, I'd like to say that Intel is really starting to remind me of MS. It's a shame to see the cpu market being driven by the assumption that the public is stupid. Of course we have all heard this before.
Secondly, this article makes such moronic claims as:
"RISC chips not only process multiple instructions at the same time but also run at 64 bits, meaning they can simultaneously process twice as much data as the standard 32-bit Intel chips."
Correct me if I'm wrong... but none of those things really = RISC . Just extra goodies. CISC doesn't necessarily mean slower than RISC at all. It's all about the implementation I assume.
Ok.. so VMs makes sense because it allows seperate virtual linux O/Ss for each major server function. (web database ftp..). This is good for management and accounts.
However, "they" are still making claims that it offers somekind of performance advantage over running them all on one O/S. I mean... call me crazy but I don't see how there is much of a performance advantage.. if not just wasted memory here.
Someone please throw me a clue.
I'm sure this idea isn't terribly new....
But I think humanity needs a swift kick in the pants... a large impact to say... take out a country or two would at least unite our race against a new cause.
Otherwise we might end up killing ourselves off out of bordeom:)
I tried this this app a few weeks ago, it's modular and configurable and has potential. It actually runs fairly fast under windows because they implemented their own (native to windows) GUI api (not Swing which is slow as hell).
Basically I spent the whole time experimenting with just the Java GUI library they supply with it because I'm tired of watching my Swing apps chug along.
As far as IDEs go... I work faster in others, much faster.
I work as a sys admin and programmer for the IT department of a university. Basically we have everything running on linux here with very few problems. In fact we are bringing our once useless mac hardware back to life with "yellowdog linux". One linux box runs the main website. The other runs our database systems. Some of these systems are pretty large, although not HUGE scale. Our log files certainly get immense by the end of the month:)

you're a moron
even on my p700mhz swing is quite a bit slower than other windows apps. Just the nature of java really.
