But apple says rosetta stone will be almost transparent and that porting takes only an hour(mathmatica) and a few lines of code changes? If this is true, why wouldn't they hold off till a month before they release the product? Otherwise they risk hurting their current sales.
Not a group of amateur radio guys. Decisions should be based on what servers the community better in a whole. Cell phones and broadband affect millions and millions of people, amatuer radio is reserved for a few thousand hobbyist. As for radio astronomers, i'd be more concerned about finding funding. The best array(Big ear) SETI had going was shutdown 1998. And i would really like to see a stat about how many people accidently leave their cell phones on while flying, i bet there's a few hundred in the sky at a given time.
Umm no. The point of the test is to see if the students know the theory,concepts and rules. Its not a test to see if students can correctly do long division and multiplication on a piece of paper. They test the student to see if they can correctly formulate equations.
A good example is the common train question. "If train leaves from LA towards San fransico which is 400mile trip at 50 mph and train heading in the exact opposite at 25 mph. How far from San fransico will they meet?". There is no way a calculator will help you out with this question unless you know the actual concepts of math.
IBM is also supplying Linux workstations optimized for high-resolution graphics, but consume less power. Traders will use the workstations to pipe information from the exchange floor to trading desks upstairs in real-time.
Windows Server had 10% increase in units shipped while the market in whole only grew 5%. I know a couple companies that replaced their sun web servers with windows 2003 and IIS6. Lot cheaper to maintain, you can pay some college kid $10/hr to take care of them instead of $100/hr for a consultant. Also considering Windows 2003 web server edition is only ~$375, the initial cost is nothing for a business compared to labor costs.
It would be funny if they did though, linux and windows have lots of trouble with driver support with a 3rd party devices. Apple would be in the same boat. I would to love to see a Mac user try to get OS X installed on a fry's or newegg built box. Good times.
G5 was never designed to be a mobile chip, it had no real chance of getting put into a laptop. Only solution Apple had was to get IBM or Xscale to design a brand new mobile chip, which wasn't feasible. Intel's Pentium M on the other hand is designed as a low voltage chip as intel focuses on processing power per mhz which allowed pentium m to do more processing at lower mhz.
bahahahaah. We are gonna map a ppc assembly code to intel x86 code as a valid solution for backwards compatability. bahahahaaha. Poor apple users. I love to see how well photoshop using altec register calls maps to ssex registers and doing it with a software based emulator. god. i haven't laugh so hard, i swear i must be dreaming or someones playing the best practical joke on me. Bend over apple users, you're taking it once again. 680xxx to ppc. system x to OSx.
And to add insult to injury, AMD is outperforming Intel, so Apple with still have second rate computers.
A better analogy is if GM prevented replacement to the car the battery(ie: welded to the frame). So after 5 years, your car wouldn't started with no way to replace the battery. There's expectation for manufactors to provide servicable parts, if they want to neglect this expectation they need to clearly indicate at time of purhase(packaging) that this expected service is not available. If they put a nice label on the box that said "battery is not replacable", they would not be in this situation. Much like i could sell a car that didn't allow the oil to be changed if clearly I stated to the customer the fact.
Richard Stallman didn't start open source in early 90s, BSD has been around since the 1970s and doing pretty well(ie Berkeley sockets). Seriously do most of you slashbotters live in some sort of alternative universe?
If you remove IE, how would a majority of apps run? How would the windows desktop run? How would you view CHMs(help files)? All those require IE. Same goes with Windows Media, you can remove the application but the application is just a shell to the directx library sitting underneath. EU wants them to remove both applications and libraries, thus breaking windows.
Other vendors do the same thing. Apple's dashboard is a bunch of javascript and html on top of their safari engine. Remove safari libraries and dashboard won't work.
Really? I guess the G5 running at double the clock speeds of G4 suffers from this dimishing return. IBM should of said screw it and kept with the G4 mhz speeds. Mhz isn't everything you know. </Sarcasm
G4 is slower chip per clock cycle than Pentium M. Your 2ghz Celeron M(assuming its a M and not a P4 Mobile) has more than double the performance power than 1.4 ghz G4 found in a mini. Seti Benchmarks
.Net is also way for Microsoft to get applications away from gdi, win32 crap. Microsoft has big problems when come out with a new OS, they have to support past versions. Much like windows xp supports win95 even though its built on the nt platform. Microsoft doesn't have apple's luxory of saying fuck you guys, upgrade all your software because its going to be emulated in our next os. The reason why they can't do this isn't commercial software(photoshop,office etc), its all the custom business software that would break.
The thing is she posed willingly. Courts have found in favor of the person who took the pictures because they own the copyright of the pictures. Dr Laura, Paris Hilton, etc. Only thing she can try to argue is that her image is trademarked, but since she isn't a model, actress or famous, that isn't going to hold up. Sucks to be her, next time she should take personal responsibility and not allow people to take nude photos of her, especially of her doing felatio on a dog.
I hate people like grandparent who try to justify the lawsuit, its makes me sick. Recently i stayed at a hotel, the shower hot water was luke warm at best,when i asked management about it and they said it was due to insurance reasons(scalding) the water had to be set at that temperature. People need to start taking responsiblity for their own actions. Putting a hot cup of coffee isn't the most intelligent thing to do. Having 800 got injured which may seem like a large number, but consider they sell millions a day.
Microsoft.net is now solidly entrenched in the top 10, where it has been for three quarters, while C# has risen to its highest ever position of 13th. C# is the skill showing the biggest growth in demand in the top 25, while.net featured in more than double the number of ads of a year ago. Source
Growth of.net doesn't seem to be letting up, 2 years ago you would easily find triple the number of java jobs compared.net jobs. Now the numbers are almost even. I'd assume the same time next year, there will be more.net jobs.

More value than yahoo who's been public longer,around longer, and has higher growth profit.

NYSE is an IBM shop, using DB2, websphere. Its competitor, NASDAQ is using a Microsoft solution. Not a good week to be IBM.

Saying the P3 was green lighted before the P4 is pretty stupid statement.
They just made it more efficient and reduced the power demands.

Apple deal was barely break even for IBM. Consoles have a bigger audience and you only need to design and produce 1 chip.

Did you read the article? Linux on opteron out performed the others in the test.
Umm. No. I'd pick linux running on opteron system.

Intel servers are going to be cheaper. You can't beat Dell's price point on servers both high end or low end.
