You reply would address the parent's concern if the parent were worried about northbridge stability (and peripheral stability if things like the pci and pci-e bus are not locked down). He is talking about CPU stability; ie, will most 805D's overclocked to 4.1 still perform operations correctly? Or is it really just the golden samples Intel sends in bulk packages of one hundred to Tom every Friday with the yayo and the hookers, the $100 G stacks and the heroin packs (inspiration for these loquacious articles that he writes , you see.) Eventually Tom's going to stop going Dell and go for that AMD sponsership. And he should - the green is smokin.
What the hell are you talking about? Quad core, DDR2 - this year. Same core for seven years? What? The last core was 32 bit with no integrated northbridge. Hammer was a complete revamp/redesign.
Whatever criteria you are using to judge amd64 as the same core as k7 would also label merom a 686 core. And that is an old ass core.
According to the article, French judges feel it would be more appropriate for the IP orginizations to go after the large piracy rings. Attacking organized crime works. Prohibition of mutually beneficial exchanges is now, has always and will forever be total folly and completely, totally, absolutely doomed to failure.
Sorry about the other responses to your comment. I apologize on behalf of my fellow slashbots for producing inane, irrelevant claptrap. Fair use? WTF? RTFA. We are talking about France.
With toyota's hybrid system, you have: no transmission no alternator no starter no airconditioning compressor clutch no a whole bunch of other mechanical junk prone to breakage
The hybrid drive uses a planetary gear system... you might say, rather than a transmission. The planetary gear links two powerful electric motors and the gas engine and endeavors to optimally balance the work each does. So if you're rolling along in traffic below 35mph with your electric AC on, it will run the engine just enough to keep the high voltage batteries charged, because idling the engine constantly would be a _huge_ waste of energy. When you are creeping through a drive-through line, the engine stops. When you reach your driveway, which you have been regeneratively breaking as you approach, your engine stops, and when you get out of your car in your garage, you aren't inhaling CO, nitrous oxide or any other toxic exhaust gases.
Why not reclaim the energy from breaking? Why inhale deadly fumes in your garage? Why not use a more efficient, differently designed engine that has low peak rpm, but can almost always be run at the bottom of its power band? Why not totally eliminate the inefficiency of the fluid automatic transmission? Why not use electric assist for acceleration so that you can reduce the size of the gas engine? Why burn fuel to turn over a heavy, large engine whose peak output you require perhaps 2 minutes a day? These ideas are not gimmicks. Rather, they _are_ the future of automotive design, and GM and Ford will license the technology and patents from Toyota on a massive scale or their Mexican factories and Chinese supplies will be closing up shop in the next 20 years, while Toyota's non-unionized American plants crank out the vehicles we need.
How about this one: mounting of certain authenticated, plain jane, non-active-directory smb shares that worked just fine in panther fails in tiger 100% of the time with other obscure errors:
"The supersonic passenger jet of the future is taking shape. Technology to make it possible is being developed as part the High-Speed Research Program led by NASA, and involving all the major American aerospace companies.
In December 1995, NASA focused the technology development on a single aircraft concept. This aircraft, the Technology Concept Airplane, is not an airplane that will be built. Instead, it serves as a common reference point for research. To see what this aircraft might look like in flight check out Future Trip.
To be profitable, the plane will have to carry more than twice as many passengers as the Concorde, operate at higher speeds, span greater distances, use less fuel, run more quietly and produce less pollution. Ground-breaking technology is being developed to meet these challenges: new structural materials able to withstand the kinetic heat generated at Mach 2.4; a SuperVIEW Cockpit, which will replace forward cockpit windows with large format video displays that offer enhanced guidance cues; an environmentally sensitive supersonic propulsion system; and wings that achieve laminar, or smooth, air flow during supersonic flight."
Note: video displays replace the forward cockpit windows.
"And just think, it was only last week when it was shown that most servers are never upgraded (Core Components), and that most people already buy their servers with growth in mind.
This kind of stupid comments are not helpful."
Sun has made headway with their single to dual-core ultrasparc upgrade path. Are they stupid?
"All of which means that between Microsoft's delay in applying for the trademark, the other organizations' attempt at what can only be called cybersquatting, and the USPTO's bureaucracy, Microsoft could well be denied the use of Hotmail as a trademark"
Actually, as a representative of the slashdot hivemind, I find your hypothetical situation to be funny. The hypothetical situation amuses me because in it, the little guys (underdogs) are stepping on Microsoft. In google's situation, it is sad, but in Microsoft's, it would be funny.
Because it is human nature to try and learn from important events, and it is human nature to see the death of a person one regards as valuable or promising as important. Consider the obvious question: would you rather his death were meaningless? See what I mean?
Doom3's extensible engine is the evolution of quake series engines. It's modable and will see wide third party use... Consider it's pedigree, which includes half liife (q2 based and still the #1 online game). Doom3 will be the _benchmark_, perhaps even a _watershed_ of high quality, moddable and extensible engines. Unless the mod community really takes off? Aside from half life, what other vibrant mod community is there? It's about ID took up the standard again, HL is q2 engine based and showing its age.
The post I think was poorly moderated was neither insightful, nor informative. It happened to be ID talking points (the list of propoganda items they are currently harping on). I disagree with the moderation; I think the mods who did not recognize the post's content for what it is are uninformed and have no business moderating.
Slashdot mods have not heard of Intelligent Design (the latest nutjob anti-evolution bunk science). How sad... If I happen to metamoderate these mods, they are losing karma.
Here's a clue about the development of the eye: some clams have lenseless light sensing organs located in blue pits around the mouth of their shell. Add a lense, you get focusing ability. Eyes have been shown to have evolved many times, seperately... in multiple steps. As for the unlikely flagellum on the bacteria, THERE ARE A LOT OF BACTERIA. Thus, the evolution of something unlikely is more probable. So probable that it happened.
You are not thinking for yourself. The arguments you present are ID Talking Points. Stop being the tool you are.
I've observed the same. Close-minded socialites learn nothing... from anything, ever. Their world is their social status, not themselves - psychedelics can't transform such people into pondering, introverted, interesting souls.
I know many such hopeless cases and I've seen them "trip balls" and fail to pick up anything from the experience. I also know interesting folks that ate magic mushrooms, profoundly improved their attitudes and finally faced issues that had dogged them for years.
Obdurate individuals tend to remain so, but the handful of psychedelic chemicals can and has helped thoughtful, sensitive people through chronic psychological impasses.

so the fact that they deserved it

they so had it coming
makes it not rape?

So, who's stupid?
Do your typing fingers notice the difference when they have nothing to do because you are waiting for a package to emerge?
Oh, you don't use gentoo, at least on your laptop.
Do your typing fingers notice the difference when you are waiting for matlab/octave to ploddingly chug through huge amounts of data?
Oh, you don't do that kind of thing, at least on your laptop.
Do your typing fingers notice the difference when you are waiting for ethereal to parse a few gigs you just pulled off the wire?
Oh, you don't do network related debugging involving large captures, at least on your laptop.
Think though. What if you did these things on your desktop, but longed for a fast enough portable to more conveniently accomplish the same tasks?
Well, then you'd be more like the average slashdot reader and less like my grandmother. See what I'm saying?
Haha. Therapy for six months... for catatonic stupor induced by (note the quotes) losing a "death match".
*airquote gesture*
death
match

Hhehehehehahahahah pure comedy gold. Can't you people recognize sarcasm?
