And what were YOU doing during that hour, halfwit? Laughing about the lazy guy? I don't think he was alone in his leisure. I think you've just demonstrated one reason why so much outsourcing of labor has been happening. Can't keep employing the same people who don't know what to do with their day, and enjoy persecuting people to boot. What you did isn't a prank, it's harassment. I like a good prank between equals, but I think whoever gave you the authority to fire people was born anally.

You're brilliant! All we need to overcome the clock speed limitations is to build 512-bit computers with a 100mhz clock! Think of the POWER, man!
Or we could write a compiler that would automagically look for patterns in code that could be grouped into larger or more complex operations. That would so R0X0R! Like, make the compiler aware of the architecture that the binary will run on and make it take advantage of ALL the machine instructions available to it!

How did this get modded insightful? The poster is clearly confusing serial operations for parallel operations. The Athlon64 can eat 64 bits of data per clock cycle and convert them to heat energy. The AthlonXP can only consume and convert 32 bits to heat per clock cycle. This means only that the Athlon64 can heat a larger room than the XP. How is this hard to understand? Geez, I thought this was a nerd site.
Welcome to my world. I started drooling over the AMD AthlonXP 1700+, and by the time it arrived in the box, the XP1900+ was out. Luckily there's only about a 3% difference between them for what I needed it for.
so, I could do just as much work then with a sixteen bit computer as a 32 bit computer so long as both had the same amount of RAM?

My next casemod is going to be a solid black monolith with a hidden cover for the drive bay access. It will look like a polished solid black rectangular box with no details. Kinda 2001 style. No lights whatsoever, and watercooled with only one 120mm silent low speed fan.
Oh, man, I remember Qemm386. I remember the three boots, and I needed it to be able to open images in PAINT.EXE in Windows 3.1. I had a 486/25. I got a contact in my town for RMA merchandise, found a 486DX/33 and SIXTEEN MEGS of RAM. I went from 4 megs to 20 megs that day. And it still wasn't as useful as my C=64.

Damn, you're fast. I can barely make it to the keyboard to choose from my LILO menu at boot, and you can power down between clock cycles. You must be running below 1Hz. Good one.

Hey, most of Africa is saturated with the AK-47 assault rifle. Nearly everyone has one. Did the United States sell those?
Let me let you in on a little secret. Russia, China, and France are all pretty good little arms dealers as well. I stay up to date on the arms trade for various reasons and I will let you know now that if you live in a third world area, and you want to buy light arms such as guns or grenade launchers, even small SAMs, all the stuff you'll see is Russian and Chinese. An AK goes for less than 40 bucks in some areas, but an M-16 is worthless outside of the US Army, because it is too accurately machined to be tolerant of dirt and neglect.
Your hatred of America is giving everyone else a pass to do the same things.
You must understand that anytime any media outlet decides to print a story instead of the story I wanted to hear, that amounts to government censorship. Probably them jews again. They don't print the stuff about how israelis make pancakes out of arab teenager's blood, and all just because it isn't true.

I have Earthlink dialup and Mozilla works fine with the accelerator. You have to set the HTTP proxy manually to match the accelerator. One annoyance is that it seems to change periodically.
But you CAN use earthlink accelerator with other browsers.
I'm 30, and I thought when I was a kid that ADD was a childhood thing. It becomes more manageable with maturity but it never goes away. I don't think it is a disease, though. I think it's a symptom of a mind that can process information quickly. Normal people seem strangely apathetic to me. Sometimes I think the 20 percent of people whose eyes are overrelaxed and whose mouths are open to breathe are the diseased ones. Maybe I am a bigot or an elitist. Who gives a shit? At least I can breathe through my nose.

Lets just say I have seen a few adult sites. I have never once stumbled into child porn. Not once. Something tells me that this isn't the type of thing people just wind up seeing at random. I think they're intentionally looking for it. If that is the case, why not use confiscated porn to set up stings and FINE people big money for "stumbling" into it? The prisons are a bit crowded but I would think that by registering these people before they offend (Megan's Laws) we can at least have records of those who have deliberately attempted to get this kind of material so that they don't become Scout leaders.

For those who will miss this, I am implying that your RAM will be no more, and no less nonvolatile than your hard drive. I actually think this is a big leap forward if it can work, and I would love to see one more chunk taken out of the memory bottleneck.
...A hard drive, split into millions of pieces, each bit containing a miniature read/write head which is independantly addressable? It sounds just like a hard drive without the spin, and with an equal number of heads to bits. Sounds interesting, but if it's nonvolatile as they say, wouldn't external magnetic fields and normal magnetic decay mean that there is a good chance of a corrupt bootup after an extended vacation? The good thing is that this may discourage people (ahem MAC cough) from placing their motherboard in a case with a CRT? GOD I HOPE SO.
Mayhaps you can suggest another single word which captures the essence of the poster's opinion, but is unlikely to offend ANYONE?
I eagerly await your reply.

Although his choice of words is lamentable, he is simply making a comment on the quality of the article title as presented to slashdot. If the word "gay" offends you in this context, when you see it, mentally replace it with "lame". If you are a legless homosexual and are still offended, substitute further with "stupid". If you are a retarded legless homosexual, substitute even more with the word "fuck". If you are a legless Mennenite homosexual, you should stop reading this immediately.
