AMD once said there was a greater efficiency in interconnecting 3 cores, compared to 4.
Anyone with simple graph theory can see that. 3 nodes only need 3 edges(or interconnects in this case) so that they are only one hop away from each other. With 4 nodes you need 6 edges for a complete graph / clique (each node is adjacent).
Now whether that is applicable to the amd chip is a whole other question. I don't have the time (nor do I care to) look up the implementation of the chips.
So only the highend system gets an OS or did they forget to add the following?
OS: Cracked XP pro - $free
I assume they just wanted to make a certain price point ($1000 and $2000), but it seems kind of silly to include it on the expensive system and not the other ones.
My initial guess would be small. The larger the company the more need for intermediary roles. I've worked as a "Business Analyst" which is the biggest BS term ever. One day I could be doing System Analyst work, the next pure business budgeting and scheduling, booking meetings, later I would be tracking down bugs or writing sql for data mining... tonnes of garbage that fell in between or beyond what others with more specific roles could complete due to the size and complexity of the organization.
I hope the gaming industry intermediaries aren't plagued with the lazy b*stards I had to deal with. It seems some of them figured out sine no-one knows their actual role, they can get away with doing nearly nothing (and not knowing anything technically useful).
I am now a programmer ("software developer") in a small company (60 employees). All the roles are straight forward. I write software, there are engineers that do circuits, there are CAD guys that do enclosures, there are EE guys that troubleshoot hardware and do maintenance, sales guys do sales.. etc.
That's the first time I ever saw UID used as an estimator of age.
Pretty poor estimator though.. if you follow that line of reasoning Rob Malda should be a graybeard (quickly moving onto white) but in truth he still has a hard time growing facial hair.
..I don't see anything happening except Psystar getting smacked down HARD. As in, take all their assets + punitive damages hard.
Yeah, but that would be a dry judgment (i.e. no way to collect).
If they are incorporated they don't have much to lose. I assume they were break even, or had very little invested, so they shouldn't personally be in the hole much (or at all). BUT, Apple isn't going to come out smelling of roses regardless of the outcome.
If Apple wins, then they crushed a small competitor (their only competitor) and prevented people from getting Macs at lower prices.
If Apple loses, they look like @ssholes for trying to sue a little company and prevent any type of direct competition and they ended up giving their new competitor a heavy amount of publicity.
Apple should have just paid the two guys a few million under the table to avoid any bad publicity imho.
Yes, there were cases where ignore would be an option too, but "Abort, ignore, fail" is the most common error and the one used in pop culture references.
This IS a serious problem because,
- It is so common in the industry that there aren't lots of alternatives.
- The more they work the more others (even in other countries) are forced to work.
- Quitting is not a serious option unless you are rich and work for sport.
Do you have a job? Do you work in software? Testing an application to a corporation's standards and then packaging takes time. It's not like repackaging your homebrew app in a day.
2 weeks is realistic (or a month if it's a public service agency).
The 5% number cames straight out of goatse.cx's ass
After looking at those 12 goatse pics I am convinced they must have fallen out the the goatse's ass (shudders).
> "No results found for naked pictures of Natalie Portman. How does that make you feel?"
Petrified. I hear the cure for that is hot grits down the pants.
They will only sue if you collect the seed and replant it.
Or if you resell the seed.
At a glance that seems fair, unless you are a corn seed producer who lives in corn country (you must) and one of your neighbors happens to plant Monsanto seed (hence potentially contaminating your seed crop).
The case I heard about (on CBC) some of the outlying crop of a seed farmer was "infected". Monsato claimed he could not sell the seed as it was IP infringement. How is this fair or right? This farmer would normally sell all his seed off however many 100 acres he had. He can't exactly control cross pollination. And even if he could, why should he have to spend the expense of trying to control pollen?
The best analogy I can think of is Microsoft coming along and inserting their copyrighted code into an open source project, then suing that project. Worse, it's like a virus they created that inserts the infringing code without any manual intervention. Only issue is that removing the infected portion from a living crop is a lot more costly than removing lines of code from a project.
If Monsanto is successful in these cases, then what is to stop them from getting greedy and subsidizing farming neighbors of "natural" seed producers. Heck, they could go as far as tossing some seed onto the bordering areas or the farm to make sure their crops are "infected" so they can start another profitable lawsuit.
If you had a reasonable time limit in which to solve the captcha, it would certainly make it harder to farm out.
Not if the steps to get to the captcha are quick. For your idea to work the forms prior to the captcha would have to take a while to return, then the user is presented with a captcha that times out.
Could work at preventing captcha farming, but you are going to irritate your legit users.
And you'd be hard pressed to argue that anything M-Audio is better than e-mu's cards.
At the same price point?
If you are getting above the cost of m-audio there are lots of options. I haven't used e-mu so I can't speak of them. Personally if I was going to spend big bucks I'd be going for MOTU (Mark of the unicorn) as I have had very good experience with their firewire products.

I checked out the beagle board site and they are pretty damn cool. Definitely a lot more fun for playing with at home.

True, but that doesn't make the summary any more accurate.
Do you work in a small or a large company?

I misread that as 01100111 01101001 01110010 01101100 at first glance. Thought it was to prevent the OMGGOSD stalking that might occur.
Being a 01100111 01100101 01100101 01101011 is boring. Everyone here is.

It is ruled by a strong, centralized political apparatus.
Long live the emperor's cock!
Well they do carry a rather large flashlight.

Don't you mean trademark law? (*ducks)
Nope. You fail.

There is no spoon...

I agree whole heartedly. While not slavery the employees are being taken advantage of. Where I live a large software company lobbied the government into OKing no overtime pay for software developers. The effect? "High tech" workers in BC don't have rights to overtime pay. Companies are exempt from paying overtime and due to the legislation can not be sued (whereas a McDonald's employee could sue for the same treatment).
The third is a 42" LG 1080p HDTV, connected via HDMI. On that, there's no problems at all.
Ah yes, so we just need to get each of the poor children a 1080P hdtv to go with their $12 pc.
What it really needs is a bottle opener...
Isn't Zima in screw-top bottles?
