No its not, clock cycles are discrete, miles is continuous. It's akin to having four people each take 60 strides per minute, they *do* reach 240 strides per minute between them.
What? Are you with AtomChip? Both miles and clock cycles can be interpreted discretely or continuously. Neither is inherently either. Note that I can run 1.5 miles just as easily as I can measure 1.5 clock cycles. Synchronous logic, however, tends to function on one of the edges of a clock cycle (often rising edge) which is perhaps the source of your confusion. But it need not be, and isn't, limited to that: note the existance of DDR logic (triggered on both rising and falling edges, one of which must be considered happening at a "half" clock cycle, which isn't discrete) and even QDR logic, which operates four times per clock cycle. Analog circuits (such as PLLs) often sense and respond to many, many more than 2 or 4 points per cycle.
Just because you're more familiar with fractions of miles than fractions of clock cycles doesn't mean both don't exist. I'm not even going to bother with your confusion of adding up strides and adding up clock cycles. You're not ready.
Did you really not instantly see that thisisajoke?
The suckers falling for this and offering to spare us all from being mislead and providing their serious doubts about the truthfulness of the specifications are almost as funny as the AtomChip(TM) laptop itself.
Oh I wouldn't say either of those are very true. The *nukes are good too. I really don't care much for either, though I've used both to some success. They're similar products, all PHP-based, with similar communities and support/add-ins available.
Mambo/joomla maybe a little easier to set-up and use for newbies, but maybe a tad less flexible. I'm a fan of metadot myself because it's perl instead of PHP and I like the gizmo architecture -- but I'm a masochist that way.:) See the cms comparison tool someone posted in this thread for detailed comparisons of all of them.
They seem about the same to me in pages printed, but I don't track it that closely, and it doesn't really matter. $6 for a third full color and a third full black (not to mention an entire new printer) is still a much better deal than $55 for a color cartridge and $11 for a black. Even $15 for a new printer + 1/3 color + 1/3 black beats the raping of the "full" ink cartridge prices.
Plus it's sure to cost the printer whores some cash. What's not to love about that?:)
Um, there are other definitions of moot besides "open for debate." The one that applies here (had the OP spelled it correctly, that is) is "(1) of little or no practical value, meaning, or consequence."
"A moot point is one that need not be decided, due to a change of circumstances."
You're an ass if you think people automatically agree to and enter into a contract by opening a box with some wording printed on it. Do you really think that's a good idea/precedent?
Better still, use fatwallet or similar sites to buy new printers for less than the cost of a new ink cartridge and give/ebay the old one. I got a new epson r200 printer (not just the ink) for $6 after rebate ($49 out of pocket.) If you missed that deal, there's already a new deal with a net price of $15 for the whole new printer. Yeah, you have to plan ahead a bit, but note that the ink costs $55 per color and $11 per black. The new printer came with one each.
As more and more people wise up to the "loss leader" system of selling cheap printers with expensive ink, they'll lose more and more cash until they have to quit the nonsense.
Nice plug, and much less idiotic than the mambo-ron GGP poster, but what differentiates a "content management system" from a "content management framework?" The feature lists of mambo/joomla and typo3 seem pretty much identical.
Neither seems as capable as, say, metadot (which allows "gizmos" written in actual perl, not PHP, to be dropped in to do anything.) Sorry, no website to plug -- google it.
Please don't assume those two sites are representative of the results of even a moderate amount of effort with mambo / joomla. It's pretty easy to do much better work with very little effort -- see the mambo or joomla sites for some (much less grey) examples.
Many Canadians come to the US for life-saving health care rather than wait for their needed tratments in their socialized "universal healthcare" system. How's your little box working out for you?
We spend millions to provide MREs to Africa/Asia; spending billions on our own people shouldn't be a problem.
I don't know that gouging is necessary to ensure a healthy profit and encourage rebuilding. I'm quite sure "getting rich" instantly is not necessary for construction projects to be worthwhile.
But I must emphasize your 1000x underestimation of US aid to Africa. Please note that we spend Billions in Africa (with a 'B') just to fight AIDS and that's not enough!: There remains today a huge gap between the estimated annual needs of $3-4 billion for HIV/AIDS and current annual expenditures.
Bush has refused to endorse Blair's plan to double aid to Africa from rich nations to $25 billion annually now and $50 billion each year starting in 2015.
The White House has not decided how much more direct assistance to Africa it will offer at the G8 summit. The United States provides $3.2 billion in aid and much more through Bush's AIDS program, which calls for $3 billion a year to be spent combating the deadly disease, of which about 80 percent is expected to go to Africa. About half of the $5 billion Bush has promised from the Millennium Fund, which provides financial assistance to governments that commit to democratic and economic reforms, will go to Africa.
You are so right friend. Thank you. How can these people criticizing the looters we see on TV be so heartless and self-righteous as to claim they wouldn't do the same if put in the same situation?
I mean, here I am on my nice comfy couch with my DVD player, console games, LCD TV, and bottle of liquor while those poor folks who ignored the week of warning and the free bus ride out of danger's way sit there in the heat and humidity with no DVD player, no console games, no LCD TV, and no bottle of liquor! How can we live with ourselves when these poor folk suffer without these basic necessities of life? What's worse is that the overwhelming majority of those forced to do these things are African Americans! Surely reparations are in order, and we must all join together to stop this opression by "the man" as manifest in the national weather service and coast guard rescuers that would prevent these fine citizens from attaining the luxury products they so richly deserve?
Clearly rape, murder, and using the guns looted from Walmartm to take pot-shots at the coast guard helicopters and rescuers are a natural reaction to extreme circumstances and hardship. Who among us can claim that, given a week's notice to evacuate a town that sits below sea level with only weak levees to protect us, would not ignore the lies spouted by "the man" and then rush out to steal guns, consumer electronics, and liquor and then, as needed, rape women and children to relieve our pain?!
I mean -- if they're not sure what's going on, they have to do something!
I have READ and RE-READ your post several TIMES and I still have FUCKING idea what the HELL you are TALKING about. Babelfish was equally confused; PLEASE translate to ENGLISH.
Of course you can sue them. You can sue anyone for any reason. You may lose, sure, but if a lawyer loses your case due to negligence and/or incompetance, you have an actionable claim that may get you a new trial, compensation, and/or disciplinary action against the lawyer including possible fines or disbarment.
You never really got over her leaving you, eh? Too bad. She's really happy now (with me) -- I hope eventually you can move on as well. It's been far more than long enough.
No offense man, and I'm sure you've no idea who I am, but I assure you that I've treated her right and given her everything you never could. If she knew I posted this she'd be pissed, for sure, but please believe me when I say she'd want you to move on and do something else.
Those sparse laurels you've been sitting on all these years have long gone flat.
Your'e ignoring the huge advantage of one user having several bots playing in the same game. The bots communicate. It's like two or more people playing at a table and whispering privately to conspire against the other players. It is a huge advantage.
How do you "read" a player online? Do you have webcams ion your games or something? Typing speed? Chat word-usage? Emoticons? lol.
Also, I think it's funny that a post that seems to be claiming there is such a thing as ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception, i.e., supernatural communication) is modded highly on/.
What's fun about watchng the human bot-minder pass the CAPTCHA then sit and watch his winnings roll in as his 4 accounts run WinHoldEm and communicate/conspire with one another to cream the fifth person at the table?
Of course they play statistically and, surprise, computers are better at playing accurately based on statistics than even the best human players. WinHoldEm doesn't try to profile or model players. It just plays perfect poker (statistically.) And against most players, that is a sure win over time. Even against great players, it doesn't lose over time (think Las Vegas house.)
The point you're missing is that several accounts, all playing WinHoldEm bots which are communicating with one another can rape even the best players over time. It's cheating at poker, and the gambling sites can't seem to control it yet.
True, but that's not how the bots work. No offense -- everyone posting here seems confused. Google winholdem and you can learn that it simply plays ideal poker. No player profiles, no fanciness -- just simple statistically ideal poker.
That's enough to win more than lose against average to good players (even greart players, over the long run) but pair a few winholdem bots in the same game cooperating and you can rake it in.
Why FLOPs and not MIPs, or integer operations, or specPerf units, or . . . ?
It's all largely irrelevant and easy for either party to finegle. The point is, there is no univerally agreed-upon benchmark. Each is better than the other at something, and that's what they tout. Unless this is effectively rigged to be a tie in which each wins 50% of the "showdowns" it will never happen.

Yeah, that's it. The price is too high. There's nothing else fish.
Nothing at all.

That's the only thing that makes you wonder, eh? Nothing else seemed odd?
Huh. I suppose with the editorial staff so goes the readership. What am I still doing here?
