  1. Re:Things Of Note: on AMD takes a big hit & IDT exits x86 clone biz · · Score: 1

    1) I don't know about Wall Street, but AMD stated that their losses for this quarter could be as high as $200M

    2) AMD has stated that they plan on releasing 1GH processors in the first half of '00, not the first quarter. This however doesn't mean that Kryotech won't come out with a K7 system that is able to go this fast before then ;).

    3) Agreed
    4) Don't forget the various issues Merced is having, and that it will be dirt slow on code that the compiler doesn't optimize right. In addition, old x86 code is supposedly dirt slow on it as well.

    Few other things of note:
    * AMD claims to be making their memory on the copper process, yeilding as well as their aluminum process
    * AMD claims to have produced K6's using the copper process, and is getting decent yields

  2. Re:get an education about NT before talking... on BO2K cracked · · Score: 1

    The MS su.exe can run interactive software as well, though it does need to be started from the command line.

  3. Re:Oops, almost forgot (Speakers) on Ask Slashdot: The Dish · · Score: 1

    Speaking of B&W Speakers...

    If you're "on a budget" get the 602's... They're fairly small sized (you'll want to get a pair of speaker stands for them), but produce excellent sound. Construction is excellent as well (I'm still impressed with how they were put together).

    They work well in dormrooms as well ;).

  4. Re:AI? I don't think so... maybe it is, maybe not on NASA and AI Testing · · Score: 1

    An expert system is considered to be a primitive type of AI. At least, that's what I was taught in a class on the subject.

  5. Re:Lots of Lisp news at slashdot!! on NASA and AI Testing · · Score: 1

    I didn't notice anything mentioning the use of lisp either, though I suspect the original author was rather referring to lisp because it is commonly used to write AI type things. (That and scheme....*shudder*)
