And what kind of optimzations are we talking about here?
Better use of the extra registers and better instruction interleaving to prevent pipeline clashes. Just the stuff that the Intel compiler does so well for its own chips to put gcc to shame.
It is in AMD's best interest to make their own chips fly with gcc.
Pointing a camera at the driver's face and doing image analysis is not a good way of finding out if the driver is falling asleep. It means the driver cannot wear sunglasses and cannot easily move her head to look out the side mirror or do a shoulder check. Having a driver respond to a stimulus that could not be responded to if the driver were distracted or dozing is much better.
Speaking of branding and the Sony name, many of the second tier car radios, Lloyds and Jensen, etc, here in Canada have Sony innards and are repackaged and labeled. I imsagine these companies buy a boatload of Sony devices without cases to sell under their own brand name. There is no indication that there is Sony electronics inside. It just happens.
I must interject here. Since Bill Gates is Satan I doubt he would be jacking off over pictures of himself. Perhaps over pictures of Satan's whores, Satan's schoolgirls or Satans's angels. Perhaps?
This has been a message from the committtee to free Satan and his minions.
Anyone know of a system to spit an audio stream out over multiple sound cards and keep it synched?
How about remote speakers with a long cable or cordless headphones. Sometimes an analog solution can be cheaper and either one will sound better than laptop speakers.
I think that Bill Gates, Paul Allen and the rest of MicroSoft's executive team should go on the first flight. Maybe even Darl McBride and his lawyers can squeeze into the economy section.
I'd love to push the video to that in order to see the video on my cell phone when we are out and the...
You are laboring under the delusion that you will be going out with your wife. Trust me, you will not. Going to work every day will be a treat with no crying, yelling, in-laws or diapers to change. It will be 7.5 hours of relaxation.
"They're just now getting into the nitty-gritty eye candy like the shadowing and cool transparency, which incidentely I don't think is supported in Windows"
Support for this eye-candy was added in XP and it has been provided by the nvidia driver since 2002. I don't know about ATI cards.
I didn't realize the dvd code is closed and only the cd portion is open. Expiring licences are used to force people to upgrade--a good idea if you have lots of bugs and a bad idea if you decide to start charging money for your product.
Well i always do my burning on an alphaserver, on which cdrecord-prodvd won't run.. Not because it couldn't compile, cdrecord compiles perfectly on it, but simply because the author doesnt see fit to produce a binary for my platform.
Why don't you offer to produce the alpha binary for him?
Granted, this is the guy who is proud of writing 40k LOC of useless code that we replaced with a 100 line perl module and doesn't even work because he never finished a working build system for it. I guess that explains a lot.
Your manager should be slapped for allowing him to run wild for so long without supervision. Now, everybody's time has been wasted.
Weren't all of Intel's '90's dotcom investments failures too?
No! I don't think Intel invested much into the services area -- where most of the amazing failures were. They seem to invest in companies that build on their own technologies. See for details.

Kabooom! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I thought Xerox invented the photocopier and Phillips invented the CD?
Actually, his last words will be, "Oh Shit!"

Not so. I happen to have a few MAGIC goats here, if you're interested...
Man, you must be roaring drunk to admit that on Slashdot.
