As someone else said, "ALPHA is gone. MIPS is only used in embedded devices. Itanium and POWER are strictly legacy products. And yet people still believe that SPARC can survive in the server space."
The cpu markets is headed to support only two kinds of microprocessor: ARM where there is restrictions on power consumption and x86-64 everywhere else. Is there really a viable market for specialised CPUs?
Oracle still makes sparc servers but no sparc workstations as I know of. So, do these chips get somewhere else? And the following question is why one would want a sparc server in the first place?
This US-centric article missed the movie I wait for: Mars et Avril (english subtitled trailer). I read the visual novel and it look very promising if you don't mind some low budget special effect and like great storytelling.
I put everything on the desktop. When there is no more place on the desktop, I create a subfolder named "temp" and then put everything in it, including the last "temp" subfolder.
Aboriginal make less than 5% of the canadian population. To give them 20% - or anything more than 5% - of the Parliament would be highly anti-democratic.
Please elaborate on why aboriginals need guaranteed seats. Maybe we should give guaranteed seats to jews, muslims, indians, haitians, homosexual, woman, clowns, dentists, and nurses, too.
On the other hand, aboriginals already have a garanteed seat in the form of the seat for Nunavut.
Liberal party is NOT a leftist party. It's a non-ideological party that will push anything that will put them in power. Most of the time, they occupy the 'center' and don't frighten the right nor the left. For that reason they have been in power for most of the existence of Canada.
NPD or Green party can't merge with Liberal party simply because they are leftist and Liberal party isn't.
I loved Diablo 1 and Diablo 2. However, I'm not really interrested in multi-player games. I only hope Diablo 3 will keep an enjoyable single player mode.
Netbook don't need to be powerful. It's mostly about PORTABILITY and PRICE.
-Screen: 640x480 monochrome (no backlite that screw battery). That's more than enough to look at what your doing.
-Processor: Low power ARM. No need for x86.
-Sound: No internal speaker. A headphone plug is all it needs to play a few mp3.
-Storage: No internal storage. Useless. What is needed is two sdcard readers. The first one for the root filesystem and the second one for user data.
-Connections: 802.11 is a must in any netbook nowaday. 2 USB to add periphericals. Headphone. That's all.
-Operating systems: Linux, Linux, Linux.
-Battery life: You can add a bit of weight to add to battery life. I say it need at least 12 hours of battery life but the best would be 30h+ (maybe with 802.11 disabled).
-Every pieces of hardware should be fully documented for the hobbyists who want to play with the thing.
This thing would be powerful enough for:
- instant messenging - a little bit of browsing - mail - word processing - agenda - minesweeper, commander keen, gameboy-style game. - ect.

Easy...

I'd buy that for a dollar!
Tell that to the people he killed.
Moron.
When you make minimum wage or less, a multimillion dollar fine is effectively a life sentence that you will never be out from under.
Did you ever heard about bankruptcy?
They say that about marriage, too.
This is EXACTLY what I want and I install an ad blocker on all my computers and each time someone ask me for help with his/her internet.
Also I don't see myself as a stealer or a murderer.

This movie is a piece of shit. Heck, at equal weight, shit has far move value that this thing unworthy of being called a movie.
OTOH, read the book. It's a masterpiece. Not Kidding.
I voted for Kodos.
Gazoline is a solvent that evaporate quickly....How good it would be?

I for one welcome our new autonomous helicopter overlords.
What could possibly go wrong?
Mr. Anderson... you disappoint me.
