No it wont. Since if you remove it then you no longer function as a pilot, you become a button pusher and the reliability of you being capable of dealing with a situation presenting itself that requires fliying the plane without the autopilot decreases significantly.
People arent perfect, Planes arent perfect, but id like to know my pilot can land the plane im in by himslef thank you, so if that 1 in 10 thousand chance of something totaly insane taking place... takes place... i have some chance in hell of surviving:)
actualy you can, but their far less useful for anything since the turning radius is much wider, and the alternative uses of a turntable/roundhouse arangement thing at each end or a push pull engine and switchbacks restricts the length of the train that can be brought up the track. but generaly switchbacking is very good at this allowing quite steep grades to be traversed efficiently with the same ease as a road twisty:P
Im on XP right now and with my favourite little process explorer app open ( god bless the guys at www.sysinternals.com You all rock! ) I can see that after being open for a scant 2 hours with about 13 tabs at the moment, firefox.exe has 122,765K to its name and 13 threads.
Is it my imagination or does it seem like its got a complete copy of the entire browser engine in memory for every tab?
sucks to live in a country where the majority of ISPs are still on the "pay more for more downloads" model rather than the "pay more for more bandwidth" one...
Like me... Oh ill just stick to hating my ISP and its near Microsoft levels of monpolism.
Seriously their user file mirror that doesnt count for monthly downloads has no Rsync, or anything but linux isos, no souceforge mirror either... majorly lame all round, but guess what, they outsource it AND make it suck casue they have a deal where another company pays them to get unmetered content for paying subscribers to their mirror service... so id have to pay twice to have a decent mirror with my ISP... its no wonder i use linux so infrequently even after all the effort i put in to make it work, keeping up to date with my lovely gentoo system sucks ass... that and gaming sucks on it... screw you accellerated crappness.
with over 50000 accounts, assuming half the industry going rate (at least in terms of university graduates in the USA) then there would be oh say round half of 20% is 10%... and 10% of 50 thousand is 5 thousand... and we can nock of 20% from that for obsolte/lost accounts... so say round 4000 out of 500000 slashdot accounts is a female...
Scatch grabs and runs for the patent office while making a call for travel arangements to china... 1 billion people walking round all the time... My god im going to be so rich!

Thats also one of the crippling features of modern consoles in general, branchy code has always been a large factor of "good" AI, its inherent in complex decision making, so AI & bots/sims are getting a serious setback with machines that suck at branchy code.
This was infact highly notable when examining the PS3, The Cell design they used was abysmal when it comes to highly branching AI or decision making type code. And it seems the 360s cpu is as well. What remains to be seen is wether Nintendos cpu also has this encumberment or if they have foreseen it and attempted to allow speedier branching. Given the difference in market focus its quite possible.
But even with low branching performance, it would still make a damn powerful machine to offload work to. 6 threads at 3.2Ghz can crunch a lot of data regardless, since theyre PPC with a reasonable pipeline length it doesnt suffer as much as say.. a P4 would.
and "Simpler cores have lower per-thread performance (shared resources) but simple multi-threading cores should scale much better in troughput/core and throughput/watt. (less/no wasted work, fewer sub-circuits having idle cycles, less duplicated logic) I personally believe that such quad-threading CPUs will be the sweet spot 3-4 years from now."
well its the sweet spot now actualy. Check out the Sun UltraSparc T1 cpus and their new servers based on them, capable of 8 cores each running 4 simultaneous threads, and theyre working on the 16 core version and getting that ready for next year. Sun saw multithreading and Dual cores as the future before 2000 and theyve been getting ready for it in a big way as those servers show.
Thats the aim, not as much a Laptop, as a Portable, but since portable is out of fashion these days, they make one mean bugger of a laptop.
Id say anyone getting this just wants somehting they can seamlessly pack up and move that has all the grunt of a full size PC. And funnily enough. Unlike Alienware. WidowPC now have AMD dual core powered laptops.... mmmm lovely.
argh dont say that... she who must not be named... her and her evil board, killing off achivement to meet the bottom line... we must protect the last strongholds...
and as for marketing it as an Ultra... check the specs... id call it Ultra:P its damn good hardware Its not UltraSparc... but if im getting a sparc im going to read more than the boxes name arent i:P
I have one of those:D I have only one problem finding a god forsaken 24V 1.87A DC transformer that i can use for the damn thing since i picked it up second hand damn cheap and never had the damn ac adapter!
Anyone got one lying around:P i want to get this thing working And add it to my set of computational anachronisms. Like my Genuine... Get this:P fished from a dumpster, Apple Powerbook 170 (unfortunatly no longer working and ac adapter now lost:(, PARTS WELCOME ! )
Its the fact we belive ourselves to have evolved beyond the need for such base behaviour that causes the problems n the first place. Sublimation of feelings is Psychology 101, Now there are a lot of violent feelings, and a lot of people subliming them. Society represses its own violence. Look at things in post WW2 germany, that takes the cake for self repression in my book anyway. It only takes a certain amount of time before sublimied and repressed things surface. People snap, Countries cant settle differences, wars break out. whatever. Its NORMAL. Its NOT good. But its NORMAL.
Sports exist for the purpose of providing competition and a means to satisfy the desire to feel superior that was originaly gauged durng its formation by a persons ability to beat the crap out of anyone that tryed to tell them what to do.
People do have a choise in their behaviour clearly, But they shouldnt try and deny their nature as creatures heavily influenced by strong emotions that are primarily centered on the self. (Strong empathic emotions towards others such as self sacrifice and charity, often being secondary symptoms of the emotions of the self, such as socialy induced shame at not helping others, or the desire to make themself look better by doing so)
In blunt. Stop your bickering your both going no where with it.
Id say the more accurate argument would be one around him not being truly Zen, since there are a number of buddhist "sects" if you will, that are based on hedonism and such things as Tantra & the one-ness of self and the one-ness of self and partner, attained in sexual climax.
Id like to quote Leviticus "No man is to have sexual relations with another man, God hates this."
While im a well adjusted individual who doesnt realy give a rats. Im sure there will always be someone out there that will do something like that website, just cause of a line like this in the bible.
Since the purchase of my last mobo ive been utterly frustrated by the features on offer with EVERY mobo out there. Too much of one thing i dont need jacking the price up, not enough of what i want, not even having what i want, obscure designs, etc.
Ill admit im not the average consumer, and ill always want somehting "different" from my boxes. But surely be i dont have to ditch x86 for a brand new G5 powermac, or head up to pro grade multi CPU tyan mobos just to find common sence.
Anyone familar with the PCI-e implementation for the new G5 will be aware they use standard Slots. One slot design. There are different speeds, but the slots are all the same kind. I stare at those rediculously placed 1x PCI-e slots on current mobos and i just wonder what the hell the designers are smoking. Hiding them away, putting them where theyre harmless, like in the spot directly blocked by any Dual Slot Gfx Card is fine with me, that space needs to be reserved. But when they start making full ATX boards with 1 or 2 PCI slot i cringe. I have a full size ATX mobo, and im using 3 PCI slots, and im pondering getting hardware that would mean id be using 4, and tinkering with using the full 5 on my mobo to play with some other hardware. I CANNOT find a PCI-e motherboard that gives such flexibility.
Are PCI and PCI-e slots totaly, irrevocably, electricaly incompatible? I dont know, But when i see boards like this that can offer 20 PCI-e Lanes, plus another 2 1x PCI-e lanes, and 7 PCI slots, i start wondering why the hell theres no compatibility. theres stuff all PCI-e hardware out there, and im getting annoyed by PCI-e slowly shoving my useful PCI hardware off any system i start looking at buying.
Stop me if im ranting, But isnt there a middle ground? a universal PCI/PCI-e slot or something... i dont know... but surely something to make the slow transition a lot freaking less painful on my PCI hardware.

Of course... Your waranty is void the moment you take control of the vehicle, placing all crash liability on you.
No it wont. Since if you remove it then you no longer function as a pilot, you become a button pusher and the reliability of you being capable of dealing with a situation presenting itself that requires fliying the plane without the autopilot decreases significantly.

Now you sir deserve a mod point. Shame i dont have one.
Mod Parent Up. He actualy knows what the real issues are. dynamic Pathfinding over quick physics
