Intel already has the 6 core Dunnington CPUs out since over a year now. The new nehalem based 6 cores are due Q4.
Thanks, but I'm specifically asking about > 6 cores.
I'm doing some work regarding scalability of certain algorithms on multi-core systems, and if a new CPU with even more cores is just around the corner, I might delay a hardware purchase until then.
Engage them? Make your case? You ACTUALLY think these thugs stick around to read the responses from the 'hostile websites' they are enjoined to post on?
From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're (a) leveling ad hominem attacks against them, and (b) aren't willing to even engage them in debate.
It's not like you said, "I've tried engaging them, and here's where their logic went wrong, and they wouldn't admit it." Instead you're making blanket accusations against them without and supporting evidence.
No offense, but at this point you're not obviously more rational than you claim they are.
For a few years, MOOS has been developed at Oxford University, to separate low-level control issues from high-level issues. It runs on OS X, Linux, and Windows.
There's also IvP, an autonomous vehicle control system that gets uses MOOS to abstract away the low-level details of controlling the particular vehicle on which it's running.
I'd be really concerned that a player, even temporarily, forgets that the gun is real (since he's also playing a video game), and carelessly shoots someone with his "controller".
Nice to see that - after they made their point - the organizers and attendees at "one of the most hostile hacker environments in the country" did the right thing and destroyed the data.
Is that really the right thing?
There's a trade-off between (a) minimizing risk to the people being snooped on, vs. (b) maximizing the cultural/legislative benefit that comes from maximizing awareness of the problem.
If the government will now take this issue seriously, then it was fine to destory the data. But if the data needed to get posted on WikiLeaks in order to get better legislation, etc., then maybe the card shouldn't have been destroyed.
Think about how Congress gave scant attention to patents until their Blackberries were at risk of not working. And how once the problem went away, they've moved on to other issues.
If you hit a rough patch, think back to when you were dating and head-over-heals in love with each other. That can remind you of the whole picture when things look bleak.
Really lover her. That means sacrifice on your part. Understand what really makes her happy, and try to make it happen. This may mean buying a couch rather than a 30" display, etc. I don't mean never do things for yourself, but try hard to not be selfish or self-centered.
When you fight, be good: Be mature. If you're upset, don't lash out. When arguing, don't go for the rhetorical kill, but instead stick to the issue at hand, and remember who she is. If you find yourself feeling cranky or irrational, ask to resume the conversation after you've had a chance to sort out why you feel so upset. If you're tired, see if you can have a truce until you've had some sleep.
Sometimes you might think you're smarter than she is, because society generally calls computer geeks smart, and we hear it a lot at work and from friends/family. So you may be tempted, especially if she ends up being a stay-at-home mom, to feel superior to her. Be on guard against this. Not only is the sentiment very likely to be inaccurate, but it will take your marriage down a very scary path.
Work really hard to avoid cheating on her. We're all subject to temptation. Only high-school/college friends, coworkers, etc. Use your head to avoid situations that may be too much for you to stay faithful. Give yourself a lot of safety margin on this one. This probably means avoiding developing close friendships with women you find even remotely attractive. It's a high cost, but if that's what it takes, then your wife deserves you paying it.
Try to stay healthy and attractive to her. You'll live longer, and it's nice for her. Remember that contrary to the ideals of feminism, for almost all women, a certain measure of macho and toughness is extremely attractive. (You'll need to carefully research when and how much of this is beneficial, or else you'll come off as a jerk.)
Try to be really good to her in bed. Learn what works for her in particular. Don't push too much to try stuff she really doesn't want to try. Don't confuse porn with reality. Use any of the million tricks available to increase your stamina in bed, since men almost always finish way before women have had all the climaxes they'd want in a given session. If you can convince her to communicate with you about what she likes and what she doesn't in bed, you're 80% of the way to keeping her really satisfied.
Develop virtues, such as patience, wisdom, courage, empathy, fairness, generosity, and honesty. There are lots of reasons to do this, and one of them is that your wife will benefit from being married to a good man.
Like most people, all of my Linux experiences are seen through the filter of whatever distro I'm using. When I wanted to try out music production on Linux, I installed Ubuntu Studio 9.04.
My experience was bitter-sweet:
The people on the forums were really nice and really helpful.
But the RT kernel they shipped occasionally hanged my machine. Something that never happens with the normal Ubuntu kernel.
So sadly, I didn't even get as far as seriously critiquing the apps. It's a pity, because there seems to be so much potential there.
The Tech Report bought them both and has compared them head to head in some depth, choosing a clear winner between the two."
One time a scientist friend of mine talked about a pet peeve of his regarding some academic papers: when the Abstract section reads like an advertisement for the paper, rather than a summary.
I'm curious if the Pirate Party will start getting enough traction in the U.S. to matter.
Cases like this only really piss-off young, highly technical persons. But if you factor in the RIAA's and MPAA's actions over the last 5 years, it makes me wonder.

AMD has 6 core Istanbuls in production now, and will have a 2 die 12 core MCM version Real Soon Now.
Do you mean a total of 12 cores in a single chip package?
Thanks.

Anyone know when we should expect the first CPUs from either Intel or AMD that have more than 6 cores?
I took a leak outside the bar one night when I was drunk and now I'm banned from Facebook for life.
What's wrong with this picture?
Won't somebody think of the plants???
Damnit! Now I have to stop selling OpenOffice.org !

So does Intel hold enough share of the chipset market, for this to become an antitrust issue?
Unless nVidia will license that same technology to ATI, it sounds like it freezes ATI out of the multi-GPU-on-Intel-chipsets market.

If you have rational arguments for why their position is wrong, I encourage you to engage with them and make your case.
a great big "fuck you".
Fuck you for taking my freedom.
Fuck you for engaging in a game where the rich steal from the poor, because the rich can afford longer law suits.
Fuck you for capitalizing on the ineptitude of the USPTO.
Fuck you for standing on the shoulders of giants, and patenting everything you can reach from there, so that no one can stand on your shoulders.
Did you even watch the video?
No I didn't. I was short on time, and assumed that the summary captured the essence of the story. Was I mistaken?
I'd be really concerned that a player, even temporarily, forgets that the gun is real (since he's also playing a video game), and carelessly shoots someone with his "controller".
Wouldn't this me just as fun with blanks?
I call shenanigans. If it were illegal, Microsoft wouldn't be in business.

I'm in the military, and when I deploy I ----cannot connect to Battle.net ---.
Just make Osama wear a Kerrigan outfit, and get your Blackhawk pilots to say "In the pipe, five by five." whenever dropping you off.
Game on, partner!
I suspect that 90% of what you want to figure out has nothing to do with your geek aspects. Having a good marriage take a lot of effort either way.
I've gotten a lot out of these two books:
What Wives Wish their Husbands Knew about Woman
The Five Love Languages (best if both of you read this one).
Also, a few random tips:

While we're on the topic, does anyone know if/when KDevelop4 will be released?

I wish kdawson had the same sensibilities.
