I had a nice example that Cromwell left on my answering machine, but it got erased.
What the hell kind of material do you want? We're talking about material like Shakesphere, know of him?
If you would like more information, any book on english liguistics will tell you more. I gave you a ref, I'm not about to type out reams of data to prove what any linguist knows.
From "The Origins and Development of the English Language", by Thomas Pyles;
There is a strong likelihood, for instance, that George III and Lord Cornwallis pronounced
ask, after, path, glass, dance, and the like exactly the same as did George Washington and John Hancock-that is, as the overwhelming majority of Americans do to this day.
This book, and others, note that American speech displayed a strong conservitism compared to British. If you read Shakesphere with a Bostonian accent, you're probably far closer than a 'Shakesherean' actor, and certianly closer than Kenue Reeves.
We'll never see this.

We, Canadian or American, will never see a cash replacement like this. In case no one has noticed, our goverment/buisness bloc is not down with the idea, and our (the peoples) political will is not enough to counter that.
It's strange to see the banner of liberty go back to the French, after so many years.
Man, I just burnt some Karma, didn't I? It's really not a troll, though.
man am I sick of the stupid moderators. I rate your comment insightful and funny, not an easy combo.
More ontopic, back in the day, my domain was whatever my (and a few friends) hosts file said it was. That sums up how the whole internet worked. It's a shame that the system couldn't/didn't scale so well.
The great thing is, we can still tell all the registars to go fsck themselves and do it a different way.
Haha! Silly troll! You posted a totally inapropriate comment and got modded 'troll'!!Hahahahaha!!! What!? Funny!?I don't think so!!! Someone modded you 'troll', and that's what groupthink says you are. Hahahah! Stupid troll.
What!? Offtopic!? What do you mean? Ahhhhh!!! Noooooo!!!!!!
That copper coaxial carries a hell of a lot of crappy content, 24/7. Storing it digitally in a form that you could pull a decent image out of would take much I/O.
The problem with digital, see, is it likes to get it right, every time. Analog is much more forgiving, and will let you manipulate it as much as you like, giving up some quality every time. With digital it's all or nothing.
Ya know, the last thing anyone needs when talking shit on/. is a/the(?) "Senior Staff Engineer" of Intel showing up to call them on it.:-)
Seriously, as I hinted at in the OP, I think the Intel compiler rocks. Can you share anything about future plans for the source? After all, Intel is a hardware company, no?
Even a fully disclaimed, 'not my employers opinion', opinion would be interesting.
Hmmmm. Useing Metakey+Tab to navigate windows has been part of almost every windowing system forever. (windows3.1+,OS9,etc) Except blackbox, which is why fluxbox is so great. I really wish they would add some kind of dock thingy though. Or a selection box like in windows, instead of flipping the window as soon as you hit shift-tab. That would make it easier to use on my sparc and Indy. (slow displays)
Now all we need to see is Intel releasing their compiler. As other posts have mentioned, gcc could use some optimization improvments, and Intel has em.
It's been a long time since I've used the Watcom compiler, but it used to be the bomb. I use gcc exclusivly now, and sometimes pine for the day when a build was done in seconds instead of minutes. I'm betting it will be a difficult undertaking to incorprate the Watcom code, though.
As I understand it, the shuttle always comes in at the "minimal" approach in a normal re-entry.
I did recently learn that there is one more option in NASA's toolkit, and that is to bring the shuttle down sideways.(!) Unfortunatly, this is expected to render the shuttle unlandable, requiring the astronauts to bail out, and leaving them with little chance of survival.
Obviously, this is a tough call to make for ground control. Maybe a visual inspection would have caused them to make that desision. Maybe not. (I wouldn't want to second guess any descisions made by ground control.)
Replying to my own comment to clarify;
I'm aware Intel doesn't make laptops, but the story placed the Intel offerings as an answer to Apples strong position in portables.
And I didn't mean it as a troll, although that wasn't a very nice thing to say about Windows.
No, I wouldn't be one of those folks, yes I'm happy with freeBSD, thank you.
And you're right. The developers owe the users nothing. They can sit at computers all day ignoring feature requests and bug reports, kicking people out they don't like, and generally doing whatever they want. That doesn't mean it's right. The free software development proccess should be open and transparent, not wrapped up in ego trips and power games.
I think my original point still stands. Free software doesn't belong to the developers, it belongs to the users.
Ain't OpenSource great? This kind of reminds me of the old power struggles in the U.S.S.R, when Krushchev was outed and the only official word was his obiturary 20 years later. (the obit simply said a pensioner named Krushchev died.).
One thing the BSD developers need to know is that they have no justification in keeping this secret. It is aboput the users after all.
I agree. I'm sorry for the loss of life, but they were astronauts, after all. Danger and glory and all that.
I just think it's too bad that all of the U.S's space activity will stop for years now as they wring their hands over what went wrong, and how to do better next time.
If the NUMA patch can handle latencies on the order of a few milliseconds, you might be able to use this to safely fool your kernel into thinking you have 120 gigs of RAM (from storage).
Of course, actually doing this would involve jumping through a few hoops, and I have to think hard to come up with situations why this would be the way to go.
Gees, any MB I've bought in the last several years can take more RAM than I'm willing to buy for it. I wonder what kind of memory limits the OP was asking about.

Back on topic, I think offering contests to promote tech and keeping the rights is a great idea for buisness. Google does that with their contests.
You are in BIG trouble Mr Anonymous Coward.

You're probably not a C programmer, then, but even still, you should hunt down some of his essays. They make for fasinating reading.

I can't wait for fuel cells to deliver and amps vs. mips becomes less of an issue.
This is similar to the paketto suite. That allowed pinging behind a NAT wall.
Gees, It's not like our little exchange was overly heated or anything. Now I'm on your foes list. (sniff)

Well, you're right, of course, but the original poster was correct fron the viewpoint of offices and homes everywhere. Not everyone runs a datacenter.
The bubbles are formed by steam.
This, of course, is 'offtopic'
