And what about inheritance? Someday I'll own all of my dad's LP's. But anything he's purchased on iTunes will be tied to his email address... so will whoever inherits his email address also inherit the music he's purchased from itunes? Or does the itunes music store license prohibit that?
The real opportunity for Apple with virtualization is not in the enterprise space but on the desktop.
Everyone seems to think that OS-X on generic hardware is a great idea. But Apple can keep their existing business model and take a much larger chunk of the desktop market by offering vitualized Windows on Mac hardware. When you can run XP and OS-X concurrently on the same machine, there will be not need to 'switch': run your legacy apps on XP while simultaneously running OS-X. No dual-boot necessary.
It doesnm't suprise me that gender distribution in a given subgroup is not 50/50. I assume that engineers are more likely to want a boy and nurses are more likely to want a girl.
How does want affect the outcome? (ignoring the practice in India and China of aborting female fetuses)
Here's a hint: how many couples do you know that kept having children until they got at least one boy?
Using lots of disk space for text files? bzip2 -9 Using lots of cycles for a custom application? compile with -O2, or even better buy a license for Intel's compiler
All of a sudden you need less hardware to do the same work.
Less hardware == Less $$ These sound insanely easy, but it's amazing how many organizations aren't doing the simple things...
Its really hard getting FCC certified for any kind of commercial flights.
Yeah, I suspect it's _very_ difficult to get the Federal Communications Commission to certify any sort of flight, commercial or private. Perhaps it would be easier through the FAA?
> It's not that I don't trust a board of highly paid incompentent people to make technology decisions...
They just added John Hennessy to their Board of directors. As in "Hennessy and Patterson" of computer architecture fame. Perhaps highly paid, but definitely competent.
I took a psychology of consumer behavior class years ago, where they said that people are more likely to believe something if it's said quickly.
I believe that's why people in commercials seem to be speaking faster than a person would in reality. (or maybe it's just because they're paying $100k for a 30-second spot and want to maximize the utility... who knows)
You're already "paying" for the media...
Maybe the government should just track what files are being downloaded, and distribute the "media tax" proportionately.
And before that, they ran their businesses with typewriters.:)
Contrary to popular/. belief, there are applications which, even on Linux, don't run well on a 386. VPN, large spreadsheets, IM, web browsing, and email. Individually, perhaps, but you might find you're more productive if you can run several of those at once...
Probably TCO for the machines they're targetting would be cheaper if they stuck with existing commodity parts. But I'm sure it would be fun to build it all yourself. Just glad I don't have to support it.
Yes, it is hardware emulation. It translates x86 CISC instructions to IA64 EPIC instructions via hardware. Similarly, the P4 translates x86 CISC instructions to micro-ops via hardware.
The statement: "...is an entirely new chip that has no backwards compatibility with its x86 line of chips.." on the front page is simply not true.

Sounds like a swell idea, so long as I don't have be the guy that walks throught the field and plants the seeds...
Read up on predication. http://www.geek.com/procspec/features/itanium They do some cool stuff with it in Itanium.

FYI, your problem is the extra "a" in "baar".

"As if that wasn't bad enough?" What's so bad about this? Saves me a trip back to Blockbuster and a whole mess of late fees. What's the problem?
crap, now I have to change the password on my suitcase.
Yeah, but no way you're using these on a Windows laptop if it can't accurately display a BSOD!

Both the Itanium and the Itanium 2 will run x86 code. For details see: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/files/unprotected/i tanium2.pdf
