I have a big numerical intigrator that runs for minutes to weeks (depending on the problem). All calculations are done on doubles and the memory bandwidth didn't appear to mater much.
I don't know what caused it, but our units were in P3 cycles. One P3 cycle is worth one AMD (x86-32) cycle, and a P4 cycle is worth 1/2 a P3 cycle. A G5 cycle is worth about one 3 cycle as well (they just ported the program).
If you are looking for good cheap single precision performance, vecocity engine is for you (IBM/Motorola g4s and g5s). The single precision performance is about 4 flops / Hz.
There is also the 'where is my super suit' part and the begining red part, and more. but as I stated previously, I think I may have gotten this confused with some of the stuff I watched in a focus group, and by the fact that http://www.apple.com/trailers/ is not marking it as new.
Thanks for clearing up where he stands on these things.
I think his biggest complaint would be with the inevatable cost of the calculation of fees, shirkers, transaction costs (think of toll booths, they are not fun places, or the alternative EZpass where they track where you are and send you tickets for speeding based on your average speed between booths), incorrect calculations...
Private airlines and railroads are also available to transport goods. In fact, government subsidizing the highway system was one of the things that backrupted many railroads.
Name a mode of transportation that does not rely heavily on government subsadies.
I'll help you out by ruling some one.
Railroads were granted land for free as well as ten square miles of land for every mile they built.
Airlines use public airports
Cars use public roads
Boats use public locks, publicly dredged rivers, publicly built ports, publicly dredged ports, coast guard security.
Same with XP. The question is who has the drivers. Take an electronic key board, or some video editing hardware. It may have a Mac driver but no win driver.
Or it may only have an Amiga driver... and the joke is on both of us.
The exception to that is printers in OS X. I had a very hard time installing my HP 930 printer, and they still don't have a driver out (including GIMP) that does duplex right on it. I have to print odd, flip, then even in reverse order (not always possible without printing a page at a time).
Of course, for all I know it would have been just as hard on a XP system... and their duplex may also be broken.
This is an old argument, and is true for windoze, but notice how Verizon only suported windoze systems. i.e. Mac is in the same boat as Linux in many cases--they have to write their own driver. Not as often, but often.
Having run a linux system for a while and having my graphics card not 'just work' with RH's default version of X, my experience is that the stuff that I want to use 'just works' with the Mac and is less likely to work with RH. That's not a complete story, but it is tell tale.
The difference between what you are talking about and a one time pad is that a one time pad is completely unbreakable. Yours can be broken, given enough time.
I got my skills at my own expense, not "society's".
You probably went to a public school at some point. If not, you were born rich (through no fault of your own) and someone somewhere back there went to a public school that gave them the leg up that they needed to get rich enough to send all their kids to private school.
Just a quick tip, if it is from Cato it will tell you the conservatives are right no mater what (they have one about how good radiation and asbestos is for you).
Specific to this report. there are a few very very important points that are conveniantly omited.
Regan's tax cut was roled back after one year when every saw that it wasn't working (so the whole report is based on a 1 year rolled back tax cut)
If they compared Regan to Clinton (not the non-sensical Bush/Clinton designed to hold down Clinton with the first Bush economic travisty) you would see that Clinton's progressive tax increase did a heck of a lot beter (by every measure they use) than Regan's.
All I have to say is that while I use a three five+scroll button mouse on my Apple, I appreciate that the OS can be used with only one button. This makes thing a lot less confusing than they are on my win2k box.
Frankly, Apple's mouse is sexy and innovative (and pretentious). This mouse is (just like Windows) a dull ripoff of the Apple's product. It isn't any of the three.
Excelent points, none the less the location of the residence of the person should help predice the outcome. If not, it would be difficult that he sucessfully rejected the null hypotheses (that it doesn't cause cancer).

I have seen all the footage before, but i was also part of a focus group (got to a movie very early) so maybe it's all jubmled up in my mind.
And have been up for a long time (a month?). Way to go Taco!
you are right that for now they can not issue the tickets. What happens when they have 100% of people using EZ pass? Then they have nothing to loose.

On the Mac, I've had the same problem with the HD, but I didn't get shunted to some TUI to download the latest version before I could use the GUI.

This reminds me that there was a great onion article about a libertarian reluctantly calling the fire department..

Add to that Amazon.
Add to that a fortune 50 company: Target.

Try again Mr. Cat, I'm talking about the OS. Also, VCRs are way way better now than they were then.

okay, so let's compare, $5,000 to $50 is a factor of 100 decrease. $500 to $100 is a factor of 5 decrease. You're not selling me on this idea here.

Yes, and even my one dogs are ashamed.
