    proletariat was actually the Marxist term for what we consider to be the working class. technically he didnt use Marxist terminology then, of course, his education probably wasn't paramount considering he went to an Ivy League school and works at the "docks".

  5. Re:Honestly on Slashback: Courseware, Warranties, Subscraption · · Score: 1

    Three reasons come to mind

    1. China is part of the U.N. Security Council, and as one of it's permanent members, has absolute veto power. On top of the fact that Security Council mandates are the ONLY thing any member of the U.N. MUST follow, Security Council mandates serve as an indicator of what a given nation can do. If the U.S. alienates China, they lose a major political chip and support from the other U.N. nations.

    2. Big economy, good military. A U.S. for the rest of us. The other guy is right too, they're one of the eight powers with nuclear capability.

    3. The U.S. is more of a reactionary nation than anything else. That's why I don't think our foreign policy is all that great. Granted, we get what job needs to be done done when we're shafted (Pearl, 9/11) or annoyed (Cold War, 'nuff said), but we're not big on preemptive efforts. We like to deal with the problems as they come...such a failing.

  6. Re:A Q about DDR on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 1
    According to Apple, the CPU can access the RAM twice per clock cycle, which (they claim) gives you up to 2.7 GB/s throughput - twice as much as PC-133 RAM.


    that's not just apple...thats everyone. thats what DDR memory does, allow for access on the rise and fall of every clock cycle.

  17. Re:wow! on Codeplay Responds to NVidia's Cg · · Score: 1

    just because there is competition impeding the acquisition of a monopoly doesn't mean that the business isn't trying to gain one. and i'm 18, so it's apparent that i didn't learn this in law school. however, it makes sense, no?

  18. Re:wow! on Codeplay Responds to NVidia's Cg · · Score: 1

    the point of any business is to

    1) make money
    2) once 1 is done, gain a monopoly

    i think it's safe to say that nvidia (yeah, screw their damn capital letter, the bums) is profitable. that leaves only 2 to be done, so any action taken by nvidia would be a concerted effort to gain a monopoly.
