well i think you lose the ability to address more than 32, use of extra registers, etc, since the legacy 32b x86 code won't be designed to utilize them.
did you ever think "all that invisible stuff" is what the taskbar/explorer is depending on? A blocked process can not receive input. Would you be happy if the screen was a 'welcome to windows' screen instead of showing the desktop before you can interact? -- ms just wants to have the appearance of a smaller boot-up to desktop time. X does this to me ALL the time under heavy system load when the vm is swapping in/out pages and my hd sounds like it's making popcorn (i have to use several java apps -- yeah, i know). yeah you could 'renice' X to -10 but that's kind of a work-around and i don't know if that's a safe thing to do, IMO. saying 'something must happen' is not much of a thought-out design goal, IMHO. just my $0.02.
I see the point you're trying to make, though it may seem selfish to you take I would like to take my great idea for myself and that i should just be able to use it (or $ell it:) first. but i don't think you or i have the right to say that they should do waht we think they should. they invested their time/resources to develop the idea, they should at least get first crack at it and be the first to make money off an implementation. Patents do this very think if I'm not mistaken, because after seven (?) years or so, the patent usually becomes invalid and anyone can use the idea freely. Now i think it's fair to argue to lessen that time period, but i do not think i have the right to tell someone what they should do with their idea, maybe just to tell them: 'if you want to profit, better move your ass and get a head start on the rest or sell it to someone to do just that.' Fair?
I think it's something like those card/sticker thingies you probably were familiar with as a kid, where you would look at it and see a slightly different image depending on the viewing angle.
so you still have one flat screen but it looks 3d -- as if you are peering into a window (tm) that contains a normal 3d world.
I don't understand; so you're saying no one should ever be able to profit from their unique ideas patenting? Or should they only be able to profit by having first crack at it?
Heehee you put 'look' in front. that was great. Anyways, the mustang is not a piece of shit IMHO, but you post here a lot so you should know. Why exactly is it not up to your discriminating standards?
My 'Tang is SWEET!
I think it's 'stang? Did you girlffiend get picked up by a guy in a mustang or something? just kidding. But on an even more off-topic point, if i want to build a muscle car i'm going to start with as much pure horsepower (==displacement) as possible. A Saleen Mustang is one of the most powerful modified mustangs one can get and will in all likelihood blow the doors off a stock corvette or any modded import.
My 1992 Saturn SL2 has over 200K miles and still runs very well. Sure it needs some work, but it's lasted much longer than I thought an American car would last.
I have a honda now, but my last car was an 87 mustang with over 200k miles. at the end it was still running but i only got rid of it because at that age the weirdest shit starts to go... I got me where i wanted to go and never left me stranded. came pretty close a couple times nothing like pop starting your car by rolling it backwards on the interstate service road:D
Point is if you take care of them,*any* car will usually last but it depends on the car. Also, american car parts are usually cheaper.
Saying the japanese do it better is just a faulty argument.
Get off your high-horse Americans put a man on the moon first soviets were the first in space, get over it already. At least the US space program did it without losing anyone in people in space and as few as possible on the ground compared to the USSR's feverish 'race' that claimed the lives of a lot of their astronauts. So, yes, the US started later, got there first, and with many less casualties. Shouldn't that count for something?
ah geez, thanks for the ";-) " or the stupid 'americans' wouldn't know you're trying to cleverly insult them at the same time with some ignorant generalizations of your own. Take a walk.
This thing looks cool, can't wait to see it in action: really looking forward to hearing one of these ring in the middle of a movie in the theater or hearing some dumbass lady yapping into it on the train ride home. It's going to be sweet.

Why do we love to hate?
Well, I've already learned to love to hate you, so it must not have anything to do with games and more to do with what a vicious asshole i am.
yes, it's an slightly updated version from the one's they originally bought. aren't you paying attention?
I think it works by 'indexing' the dlls which are required only based on version. call me old-fashioned, but i like to read the article first. ;-)

I thought Saturn was a US-born company.

run your finger down your back. it's the first hole ya come to.
Not surprising; Plenty of Americans don't even know what the American flag looks like.
Maybe your def of 'plenty' turns out to be less than the number of stupid/ignorant people you can find in any country on the face of this planet?
That it has Randomly Acessable Memory?
That it has a spell-checker.

Why don't you go trip an old lady or something...
ah geez, thanks for the " ;-) " or the stupid 'americans' wouldn't know you're trying to cleverly insult them at the same time with some ignorant generalizations of your own. Take a walk.
heh, the first of the 12 questions about why one would believe there exists a moon: "You can see it".
