I think some versions of the female connector may have some problems, for instance the slightly wider version. Though solvable.
Owners of the female connections better watch out and validate the handshake to make sure it's authentic and correct or they may end up with resource consuming hanged children processes running on a single core.
heh, yeah, but only the first one was the one I belived in.
XP to me seems to be the polished consumer version of 2k with some of the improvements in 2k3. But I doubt 2k/xp/2k3 are really seen as various generations of NT within Microsoft.
Yeah, I though about that to but 10.7 will probably be out around the same time, and it will be rather inconvenient for them when Apple have 10.8 and 10.9 out while they are still at 7 in that case.
Sooner or later you'll notice that your FSB has had an upgrade.
After that you'll just have to find a female connector if you got the male one, or a male one if you got the female one, and the rest is basic IO.
There seem to be some sort of protocol using a closed handshaking routine to initiate the data transfer though and I haven't got that one figured out. There have been quite a few attempts to reverse engineer and document the procedure for the whole handshaking process, part of the progress can be found in TFM by Neil Strauss, but there are no complete documentation yet.
Common practise for finalising the handshake routine includes brute-forcing. But that method requires a wide array of targets since the target host most often will notice the probe and close all ports well before the initializing handshake routine and following data transfer is over. Alternative practise includes paying for a one-time key usable against a single target. This method got its flaws though since the target are usually well protected against intruding code which won't execute whereby not finalizing the final stages of the procedure. You will still get all the benefits of making the connection and following thru the whole data transfer process, but the application will never fork into a new process.
But believe it or not, some people even see benefits of the lack of a child process. For instance you don't have to fight over resources, share memory or try to fight for priority.
May someone tell me if you are supposed to switch over to N on an automatic if you stand still at say red lights or such for a short while or should you just release the gas and break?
Uhm, wouldn't it "idle" in both cases? Or why would it required more if you pressed in the clutch? Because the software "believes" it have to be ready?
Yeah, if it was bad to engine brake why wouldn't the educations to get a driving license inform on that and why would they want you to do it as much as possible?
Anyway, funny to see what is considered low gasoline consumption and environmental friendly over seas:D.
1.67 $ / litre over here, or 6.33 / gallon.
And kind of all "normal" new cars do around 0.7 or maybe 0.8 don't they? Except Volvos and Saabs (I'm swede..)
So i guess getting something japanese and more gasoline efficient would be a first step.
Apple probably got to know the short term future plans of both companies and Intel had the better one for Apples kind of products. Sure I would had preferred if they said AMD, but there is no denying Intel is ahead now and AMD don't do as good notebook chips and that AMDs high-end desktop ships use a lot of power.
So as of right now I think their decision was right. I'd rather complain on other decisions than AMD vs Intel.
And since both are x86-chips they always have the benefit of being able to change I guess (unless some contract binds them to Intel for some time.)
Well, since there isn't much development of desktop PPC chips (What happened with PA-semi?) of which Alpha is gone I don't know what they could have choosen? I'd rather take Intels chip than the current PPC stuff. Or well, the 64 bit e600&e700-series or whatever they was called seemed decent. I'll answer drinkypoo directly.

I have never played any of the versions so .. No, I don't know about it much at all :)
On the Amiga we had Worms Directors Cut which came out before Worms 2. But I only cared for numbered versions.
GBA seems to get "Worms 3", or maybe it already have, or whatever, found it on google anyway.
Anyway all I wanted to do was to count 3D as hex.
heh, yeah, but only the first one was the one I belived in.

Will the expansion include cartmans mom?
And Team 17 with Worms, Worms 2 (,Worms 3?), Worms 3D = 61!
Digital Illusions took it to the extreme with Battlefield, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142!
Reminds me of when Slackware went from Slackware 2 to Slackware 7 just because Redhat was on 6 and they looked behind.
Or something like that :)
Yeah, I though about that to but 10.7 will probably be out around the same time, and it will be rather inconvenient for them when Apple have 10.8 and 10.9 out while they are still at 7 in that case.
His UIN is much lower than yours, so maybe it's just that he was used to DOS/3.11/95 and finds 2K a huge improvement :)
How much difference is it in kernel version between 2k and XP then? I know XP got some parts of 2k3 to but.
I'd still rather say:
Win 2k/XP/2k3 = 5
Vista = 6
Though wasn't it true that "NT 5" took forever and that Vista which should had been "NT 6" never got finished but released in advance as well?
So I'd like to see it as "finished version of Vista."
It also works with:
NT 4
Win 2k
Vista
Windows 7
So I don't see the problem, I've always seen it as "the next version of NT"
Windows
Windows 2
Windows 3.x
Win 95/NT/98/Me
Win 2k/XP/2k3
Vista
Windows 7
works to.
Or this, but very non-logical:
MS-DOS
Win 3.x
Win 95
Win NT
Win 2k
Vista
Windows 7
Finally!
But! Even my mom wants this case!
Though my friends tell me how her case is always open.

For what? iPhones? Chips for iPods?
People wanted to tested it.
Ohnoz, some people thought their old browser was better than the first public version of the other one, who could have guessed!?!

But in the end electric wins so hard.
Or well, I see now that what I typed wasn't readable. I have no idea what it was supposed to say.
"Well, since there isn't much development of desktop PPC chips, Alpha is gone, I don't know what they could have choosen."
Or something, I don't know how "of which" got there, probably rewrote the sentence or something.
Or I may have accidently dragged around some text within the area or selected something and overwritten it or something without noticing. Sorry.
No shit smart ass.
Maybe that's why he said "the PPC or some other decent chip."
But who knows, maybe you want to argue that Alpha wasn't a decent chip either?
I don't know but I don't Motorola does lots of embedded stuff with PPC and IBM do server stuff with Power.
