Marketing hype. This is really nothing and I can't understand why THG is hyping this.
All this does it let the CPU have 2 apps it can switch between at. Normally the CPU has to wait on the OS to give it something to do. Now the OS can give it sort of a spare job to keep doing.
Still only 1 can run at at time though. Its NOT a multiprocessing system. Simply where the OS normally chooses which app gets to run, now the CPU can always hold 1 app in the hole, ready to run it when any down time comes along.
For those who ALWAYS run something in the background like Folding@home or SETI, they will certainly see an improvement. if the OS and CPU agree to keep that app on the CPU, it will improve performance. But it will NOT increase your fps because you will only have 1 app going then.
AND if you turn on dual cpu support in quake, you should see a performance hit if anything.
The results from THG bore this fact out. I wouldnt waste time on this if I were AMD. The everyday user still has no benefit from dual processing systems, and the servers will need TRUE dual processing systems.
Of course they pass stupid laws. The people are not lawyers and the laws are intentionally vague.
This allows the networks to reap millions from add campaigns of organizations who one the law passed and millions from organizations who don't.
This allows millions for lawyers and judges to rule on these stupid laws for years to come.
The peopel are easily confused. Give us a King! (j/k)

I am supposed to be a democrat (Black American) but I certainly respect the republicans FAR more than I respect the democrat/republican wannabees.
The republicans can at least claim to be implementing their partys philosophy. The democrats can not.
I should point out that the only democrat with the right idea over the last election was the party leader. (Either say the bill sucks, or take credit for it, their is no alternative) But no democrat did what he said...The new party head can not fix disobediance. Especially that she is a woman.
Indeed I vote Green now.

REdundant. Politicians are always running their mouths. They can simply express their intentions without all the showmanship of voting and such. If you bring this to me, I will veto (or line item veto) it. So they shouldn't bring it. Dont waste the tax payers time.

The president in the US system does not have the power to alter legislation. It was correctly ruled unconstitutional regardless of what niceties you may feel about it.
So now all the people that put out software packages 8 years ago for win98 are being told their apps are collateral damage.
Now all users on win98 will be FORCED to upgrade if they did not turn off garbage auto update.
See, just like homeland security, automatic patching starts out with a clean purpose, then they change it on you.
Recall how many "tricks" were necessary to get around M$ BS. Now their going back to erase those. Yea I can see WordPerfect 7 blowing up now. But I can't see Corel having the resources to fix it.
This will basically ensure that nothing runs on old "patched" OSes.
The 1 watt is the max power of the Radio, not the antenna output.
Their is some other limit for the combined 1watt radio plus antenna gain. Off hand I dont know what it is but most people in the wireless forums of www.dslreports.com know. Their have been many arguements in those forums about what is and what is Not breaking the law. Seems like its open to interpretation and the right amount of payoly to the FCC can make it favorable for one industry (wireless internet providers) or another (Satellite radio that is complaining about interference)
You forget. States do not like federal taxes and would NOT sign up for them in any way shape or form. the states compete for your tax dollars and are not interested in sharing them anymore than the feds are.
Not quite. Buying at the local store has the advantage of being a local return when it does not work or breaks within 30 days. It also dumps money into your local economy.
Further, shipping is often no more than tax anyway.

Get real. This has nothing to do with Linux. My company is also seeking programmers in India. They are simply cheaper (at least while they are still IN India.) and are appearantly not inferior intellitually.
First comment: Consider the current generated when the poles switch. Lets hope the switch is gradual else I could see the core heating up quite a bit due to current flow.
Second comment: Everything has a resonant frequency. Even the earth has an overall one eventhough its made up of subcomponents with independent resonant frequencies. (this is known as a beat which in itself has a frequency) I agree though that you will need high sustained power to overcome the damping effects of the various different frequency components within the earth though.
Your arguement fully support the FCC being the bungler.
Its precisely why the government gets involved. Because without the government you DO have a chicken and egg situation. But with the government you have a "lay the egg or go to jail" situation.
In summary the government is involved precisely to FORCE them to put it out because everyone knows they will not on their own.
I have Hash animation Master myself. I agree it is the BEST place to start out, and many just don't venter any further because its fully capable. People are scared of it because its only $300. They think it must not be too good or it would be $1000 like the rest. This is totally untrue and I would recomment AM to anyone.
The post above illustrates one of my points. He says AM has a striped down version available. He thinks this because somewhere he likely saw the price for $300. But he is wrong because this is the FULL version.
AM is often regarded as the best modeller and definitely has the best modelling technology.
It uses hash patches which are beautiful for smooth images. Frustrating for sharper images though so I use TurboCad and import those(though you can do them inside AM). Many dont use AM if you are going to import into a polygon/triangle based game engine.
Also its not known for the BEST renderer. In otherwords it can produce the images of the highest quality, just takes more tweaking and render time. but once you get use to it its good.
I firmly recommend AM. Besides if you dont like it sell it. Now check on ebay to see how many are for sale;)
In order to present less OS to the consumer, their must be MORE OS behind it. Then less the consumer sees, the MORE that has been done behind the scenes.
Take the Virtual Machine for instanse. The VM is another OS that makes the underlying OS less restrictive.

Its just that people are not legallay prosecuted so much anymore as they are prosecuted in a marketing fashion.
For instance, so may people still think OJ was "obviously" guilty, but fail to point out any legitimate evidence to support that claim. He is basically culturally guilty at this point. Regardless to his guilt or not I like to make sensical arguements. This is not the way of the times.

Sure the quality is decent becuase they are using improved parts and such. But relative to the japanese quality gains have been small and hardfaught.

I am concerned.
I agree however, I didnt misquote it. That is an exact quote from the KJV.
The popular misquote is to say "money" is the root of all evil, as opposed to "the love of money."
Anonymity? No, not in America. But this has always been our way. Only we have insisted on oversight. This lacks "oversight."
