    1. We hypothesize a disorder X

    I appreciate how movie instructs in the proper etiquette should the line of questioning become too uncomfortable or the questioned feel the inquisitor is learning of negative traits best left undisclosed: "My mother? Let me tell you about my mother!" *BLAM* *BLAM*

    But there was ALWAYS alternatives to intel processors even for personal computer (e.g. motorola) from day one of the personal computer movement, and so the Megahertz Myth was always meaningless. My home computer in 1991 had a Motorola chip (NeXTStation), in 1996 it had a Sparc chip.

    it's not the volts that get them, it's the amps -- obligatory "running scared" misquote

    in an 11,000 volt cable (yup they go that high now), it's about 0.4 A

    yes, it was first sentence of John Timmer's Ars article set me off: "When I first started reading Ars Technica, performance of a processor was measured in megahertz"

    Marketing and sales to ignorant consumers don't count. The "MHz Myth" has been time and again a subject in many a PC magazines

    More meaningful benchmarks have existed long before that era (e.g. Whetstone from early 70s) and many were (e.g. Dhrystone in mid 80s) used all through the rise of the microprocessor (8080, 6502, etc.)

  10. performance never measured in MHz on Can Our Computers Continue To Get Smaller and More Powerful? · · Score: 1

    three decades in the industry and I've never seen performance measured or stated in MHz. At various times MIPS (and referencing a specific architecture, e.g. VAX MIPS or Mainframe MIPS) or MFLOPS might have been used, but never clock speed alone. As now other benchmarks also were used.

    why didn't that stupid toddler help the poor little doggie, instead of being all "aaaah! mommy my feet! my legs! my ......*gurgle*?" I'm telling you, kids these days and their feelings of entitlement and non self-sufficiency, starts at early age as we saw with this incident here.

    MMT is "hokkum" because you say so? Some economists find it useful model, others don't. That proves exactly nothing about economics having hard data to deal with, whereas psychology has nothing.

    you can follow provided links elsewhere in thread, meanwhile we can also express opinions. For example, I make my living with Linux server, but for my own domains and appliances I use two BSD, it is superior. FreeBSD has the superior performance of any open source OS, superiority in other realms (correctness to standards, security) goes to OpenBSD.
