Was your CPU running at 100% when you were typing that post? I personally like having longer battery life, and most of the time the CPU is closer to idle than to full usage. On a desktop OR a laptop.
Or you could read and see that this is aimed at PDA's, not laptops. 1024x768 Quake 3 on a Palm (or comparable) seems pretty frickin' fast to me. But what do I know, I only RTFA.
Yup. I underclock my Athlon 2400+ to a 2000+ or so in my media center. But I've just found that performance/dollar, and per watt lately as well, AMD by far wins out over Intel. Which means that in my book, AMD still wins even on low-noise systems.
Meh. Intel still offloads all memory accesses to an external chip, so they are severely starved for memory if two memory-intensive processes are running. AMD gets around all of that with their hypertransport. I think that's what everyone on/. is waiting for.
"This does nothing to elucidate how, after any number of generations, a salamander could become a rhinocerus."
Ok, now, this is gonna sound silly, but the changing color thing is only something that we have been able to observe in ONE HUMAN LIFETIME. Just one. Now, let's do some math. The Devonian period, when amphibians first appeared, was about 417 to 354 million years ago. Now, let's assume a typical lifespan of a single organism is, oh, 10 years. That means that there have been 35.4 million generations, minimum, between a current rhinoceros and the earliest amphibians. We've seen major physical changes in just hundreds of generations, not to mention mating separations between populations. But I suppose looking at evidence and extrapolating things is invalid. Who knows... the sun isn't gonna come up tomorrow because it just doesn't feel like it, and God wants to test our faith. Or something.
Except that there's no other way to do application-level firewalling except by having the firewall on the machine it's meant to protect. Thank you, try again.
Note that this isn't an argument against having a secondary, hardware type firewall or multiple layers. Just saying that your statement is stupid.
If he's that much of an idiot, just remove all IE references from your computer. I know that I can't get to IE without either directly browsing to the executable or running iexplore.exe. Which is how I like it. Keeps other people from doing stupid things. If they want to use the Internet, they use Firefox, or they don't use it at all.
I dunno about you, but an OS without an interface seems well... useless?;)
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think your example quite shows the point you were going for... I think it shows the submitter is just an idiot.
All I know is that I have a PS2, and it plays DVD's. And I've watched maybe one DVD with it. Let 'em bundle, like you said. As long as it plays games, plays them well, and has good games, no one will care.
You don't seem to understand density. PPM of water and a gas are completely different beasts. 0.15% of a gas is nowhere near what you'd need to support human life, not the least reason of which is that our bodies are used to the 20% oxygen on Earth.
Acer has some damn nice Turion based laptops. And all the reviews I've seen have found favorably for their quality. And you know, this is exactly what the AMD lawsuit against Intel is about. Intel has kept them OUT of big-time OEMs by predatory pricing and other agreements/threats. Not to mention that the best way to get AMD in many of those places you seem to care about is to vote with your dollars. Isn't the performance per watt and per dollar that AMD provides relative to Intel worth it?
For the AMD dual cores to come out. It seems to me that AMD has better interconnects and a better dual-core design in general. I don't need a new laptop right this moment, so it seems prudent to just wait and see which one really is better. When are they supposed to be released, June or something?

You seem to think that China is a democracy of some sort, where the opinion of the people matters...

I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in. If not, perhaps some oceanfront property in Arizona?

Fine. Use his customer ID, which is just an irreversible hash of his CC number, and it's tied to his name. Then you're all set.
What would happen to Ford in that scenario is that they wouldn't sell any cars. Hopefully that happens to Skype and Intel.
That you have read your phone's instruction manual, and know with confidence how to operate the "Power" button.
To be COMPLETELY pedantic, it's "one point twenty-one jiggawatts".
You idiot.

Most systems I use won't let you set up an email relay as anything less than a root user. But that's just what I've observed...

Years later? We were saying they sold out as soon as MS bought them and made Halo an XBox exclusive title. Where have you been?
I'm apparently not the only GITS fan here, then ;)

Why not just use VoIP and an SSL tunnel between the two people?
Wish I had mod points today. Well said. All DRM, Copyright extensions, most patents, all that are just money grabs.
KDE and Qt. There's your single example of shoulder-standing. Hell, anything compiled with the GNU compilers. Any other silly statements?
