  2. Re:No way to give up Taiwan on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    Do you have blue eyes? or even two mouths? I have lots of friends from Taiwan, and we are very happy together. No, but most taiwanese who live on the island before 1949 have blood mixture from south pacific islanders. And I am glad that we are not 100% "pure blood chinese".

    It's very sad that memebers of a family have to be separated due to some political nonsense. Look at people living in Taiwan and Mainland China: they looks exactly the same; they speak exactly the same language; they have the same tradition ..... Actually, people from Taiwan usually get very well with people from Mainland, they are like brothers and sisters. They just don't like the government. That's not excatly true. In fact as a Taiwanese myself, I can usually identified who came to the island after 1949, and their direct descendents, based on how their faces look. And taiwanese people usually get very well with people form mainland China? Where did you get that idea? We speak differntly, think differenty, eat differently, and hey we even look differnt.

    FTA Now that's a smooth graph! it becomes obvious how processor performance plunges as the clock speed drops. The 800MHz test wound up almost three times slower than the stock speed test, whic a smooth graph! Looking at these benchmark resulth makes sense since it was running at exactly a third of the speed.

    so basiclly that's what their point is: Lower clock speend=lower performance. 800mhz is 1/3 the speed of 2400mhz.

    Well, some of the GM cars come with the electronic power steering, and they can adjust the feel and feedback with sofeware codes. Maybe this preditcion is not really that far off, at least for the cars that are in the same class to beging with.
