Core utilization has nothing to do with how many threads and processes you have. It has to do with how many threads/processes you have which are active and compute bound from moment to moment. I have 137 processes (ps aux|wc) running in linux right now, and in toto they are consuming 0.8% of two cores (top).
100 tabs in Firefox should take as much cpu altogether as the one tab you are viewing. That this is not completely so, some of the background ones are animating CPU-sapping Adobe Flash that no one can see, is a design problem. Even so, I often have more than 100 tabs open with little effect on overall system performance other than Firefox's (and other browsers) absurdly gigantic memory usage.
How many programs do you run at once which are actually doing serious computing other than the one you are interacting with? Sure, there are times you are doing database jobs and such, but it isn't much for the typical desktop user.
Yep. A piece of crap Intel or AMD system running at 200 watts 24x7 uses 1750kwh per year, which at 20 cents per kwh comes to $350 per year. If it lasts 5 years, you're looking at a total power bill of $1750.
We need new blood. This garbage is pathetic. It's producing 99.9% heat and 0.01% computing.
The Atom is an efficiency crap fest. It's garbage. I'd rather have an Arm chip any day. Let's get away from this absurd undead i386 architecture garbage. Linux runs on any architecture.
I'm with you on power drain. Intel has continually shot themselves in the balls since the early Conroe era. The last good thing they did was adopt the superb development work that came from their Israel team. The T2500, T7200, and E6850 rocked; it's all been downhill since then. We're repeating the Pentium 4 gag-fest debacle, churning out space heaters that do a little computing on the side. They laid a giant shit egg with their 45nm process.
Yep. The E6850 rocks. All around, it has never been bettered. They should have kept making the 57 Chevy BelAir, and they should have kept making the E6850.
Sorry, gun type does not work with plutonium. It's gotta be enriched uranium, which is a lot more work to produce. There's a reason we huffed and puffed for a long time to make one gun type weapon, but we were pooping out implosion type weapons at a pretty good rate in late 1945.
Increasing spending will only make people leave faster.
It will make the middle class wage earners leave, but there would be no impetus to make the poor or the rich leave. The former are just leaching anyway, and the latter don't give a rat's ass because they have a billion times more than they could ever need anyway. So you'd end up in a state with poor and rich people both happy as clams, and no jobs for the middle class.
I spend a lot of time talking about consensus != science. I almost *never* state what side of the debate I'm on. Yet just not agreeing with it outright, i am accused of being a denier.
Having the term "denier" thrown at you is a sure sign that they do not have science; they have RELIGION.
I disagree on one point of yours: Republicans still have a lot of power. Look how Obama had to bow, beg, kowtow, scrape, wheedle, plead and whine to get his economic stimulus plan past the Republicans.
He didn't have to do any such thing. He owns the House, and with no more than 2 turncoat RINOs, he owns the Senate with a filibuster proof margin.
So either he thinks the Republicans have something to positive to contribute, or he is a sniveling coward who doesn't want to take responsibility for wrecking the country.
Attacking the consensus is a common tactic of deniers.
First of all, it's not a consensus. There is an ongoing informed debate, and the side which does not believe manmade global warming is a significant danger is growing.
And calling the counter-debaters "deniers" is not science. It is RELIGION.
Insightful, MY ASS. Some scientists in the field believe in manmade global warming as a significant danger. A GROWING number DO NOT. Denying informed counter arguments is not productive and not honest.
The problem is not global warming, WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING. People like you are the problem because these people (as a group) DEMAND that useless and damaging action be taken based on a false conception.
Fortunately a growing number of scientists are daring to oppose this new global warming religion. Unlike the "facts" you cite, this fact is undeniable.
Bingo. This project's stated goal is as STUPID AS DIRT. A file based OS already supports any damn weirdass thing you want to do with your apps. All we should be talking about here is some off the wall, ill conceived, Messianic development framework.

AMD mops the floor with Intel for floating point.
Now run your comparisons based on 64 bit code instead of 32 bit. Intel shits the bed running in 64 bit mode.

The Atom is GARBAGE. Use an Arm chip.
I'm curious what you think of the Atom processors
The Atom is an efficiency crap fest. It's garbage. I'd rather have an Arm chip any day. Let's get away from this absurd undead i386 architecture garbage. Linux runs on any architecture.

In order to lower the freezing point of water 1 degree C requires a pressure of 135 atmospheres.
Sub launched ballistic missiles can only be launched from quite near the surface, and if there is ice, the sub must crack through it to launch.
Ocean water freezes at -2 degrees C. Inform self before blabbing nonsense.

That's not the problem in this particular case.
Yep, their ordering system is COMPLETELY bustit.

Almost, but not quite. It still takes 2 turncoat RINOs to get cloture in the Senate if the Republicans want to filibuster.

They don't care. They've got RELIGION.

Power consumption in mind? Are you crazy? They are talking about 300 watts for this Larrabee turd.
no.
Would you care to elaborate?
