You can't use newtonian physics for speeds so close to c. Newtonian physics states that you just can add speeds, ie x = y+z.
This isn't correct which gets noticable when speeds approaches the speed of light.
Instead use relativistic physics: x = (y + z)/(1 + y*z/c^2).
So your example becomes:
v = (0.75c + 0.75c)/(1 + 0.75c*0.75c/c^2) = 0.96c
...probably doesn't really know the meaning of vector...
(Integer) vector instruction has been around since MMX was introduced in the Pentium processor. Later Pentium 3 included SSE, bringing float point vector instructions to the Intel platform. Pentium 4 has SSE2 support which extends the vector instructions even more.

I hope they will put the trial on TV like they did with mr. Jackson.
Actually, here in sweden it's not allowed to film or take photos in court. You are only allowed to record sound and make sketches.
I love it when a story in the Hardware section starts with the words "The software...".

I'm amazed that nobody mentioned Project Euler yet. I find their challenges very interresting and with varying difficulty.
Didn't you know that 46% of all statistics are made up?

Thanks for playing.
"Standards are nice, everybody should have their own" That quote always cracks me up.
Does this all mean that SVG will now go mainstream, finally?
No, it clearly says "Apple" in the article, not "Microsoft".
Now if they could crack a format that is actually used, like DRM:ed WMV/WMA.
(Yeah, I know Freeme cracks the old version)
Are you being sarcastic?
Barton is not the only new processor from AMD. Here are a few others:
Homeron
Margeon
Maggieon
Snowballon (and Snowballon 2)
Santa's Little Helperon
Pattyon and Selmaon
