To use google is better then it used to be. If you ever need new drivers for their hp 3100 driver, you have to call them, and pay them to send a cd to you. Now THAT is stupid.
(It happend more then a year ago, so they may have changed since)
But USING that source in an other bios was not legal, so they had to find a group of developers who had newer seen the ibm bios source, in order to reverse engineer it, so they could distribute it legally.
(In the same way as it is not legal to use the microsoft shared source, as a basic for reverse engineering microsoft protocols.
We know our software is broken(All large software is). So an assert is just a way to detect that our software is broken in a way we did not know about. That way we can hopefully fix the bug, and have a program that is a little less broken. Atleast until we add a new feature.
Best depend on what you need it for. Yes it might be the fastest cpu ever designed, but it is also the most expensive. At a price of the cpu that is atleast 6000$ it is far to expensive. twice the performence at ten times the price makes it diffucult to call it the best.
I actuelly like the Pentium M better. A chip as fast as the 3.0Ghz Pentium IV, but only using 21W and available for 500$ is what I would call a better chip.
Or when you buy (ide) harddisks and don't configure them to flush write cache before they acknowledge write. The raidcard might flush data to the harddisk cache insted of to the harddisk
The problem is not getting support for the 2.0 kernel, you might be able to do that. But try to get support for the linux distributions that were released with a 2.x kernel and you will be lost.
Just get a player that can play aac and then use the free software to remove drm from the files. That's what I plan to do as soon their music shop starts working in Denmark
It took > 3 years just to make a browser in a usable state. That is not fast, that is extreamly slow.

(Talking about the way java does things)
But you don't code to the interface(api) of a HashTable. You code to the Map interface, which is described as: " An object that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys; each key can map to at most one value."
And you don't(Should not) give a HashTable to a method. Give it a Map insted. The only place in your code where the exact type matters, is where you create the object.
That most people call them hashtables insted of associative array(or maps) are because they mix implementation and interface.
I once did implement a Map using a linked list. Not effective, but a nice way to show the difference between interface and implementation.
I did read the text again, and the reason they don't use the same ram, is that the intel board use 533 MHz ddr2 ram while the amd board use 400MHz ddr ram(PC3200).
Some "back on the envolope" calculations tells us that the ram on the intel board is fastes to return the first 128 bit of data, but that the Amd board is a bit faster, to read more then 128 bits in a row.
Because that speed difference in ram access speed most likely is due to different design. The Amd chip includes a ram controller on the cpu which normally allowed it to access ram faster then the intel solution. My guess is that both ram chips are DDR3600.
But in general you should always test the system with the fastes ram that system support.
The funny part, is that most of theese cases are due to rather bad default config of the apache server, so it's actuelly one open source project the developers refuse to fix, that are causing most of the problems.
(A fix would be to include a better default mime list, but apache don't want that for some reason)
There is a really wierd thing with real website. They have a different website depending og whenewer you are located in europa or usa.
The one you got if you visit from Europa(Atleast from denmark) you got the "old" real site which show 3 "Free download" 14 days trial" which ask you all kind of questions before it allow you to download the thing that only work 14 days anyway.
But the eu version of the site have a option to "change your location" and if you choose u.s.a as location it will bring you to the frontpage that got the "one link download"
Ofcause a interesting question to real would be:
Why the difference. Why do we in EU still have to put up with all that crap just to download real?

No. The os don't really use any cpu time.
You might have some background task that take a l ittle cpu time, but that is so little it does not matter.

But what do you do if the software you need are not included with you distro?
The only flaw in that conclusion is that altivec does NOT support double-precision operations at all.

Here is a link to a benchmark that show that intel might be right.
This benchmark shows that a Pentium M 2.3 (Yes it is overclocked) is as fast as a AMD Athlon64 FX-53 (2.4 GHz) in many games
It's a shame all the benchmarks disagree. Have a look at Benchmark
This benchmark also shows that a Pentium M 2.3 (Yes it is overclocked) is as fast as a AMD Athlon64 FX-53 (2.4 GHz)
It's a shame that DrawSWF, Spalah Flash, SWF Tools and gAnim8 are all alpha version software which can't be used for anything except toy projects.
And yes I looked because I need som software that can be used to develop flash files in linux. Including support for flash script.
But none of the tools you mentioned can really be used for anything usefull.

Ofcause it does. If I live in Denmark installing an xmms that can play mp3 is legal, because there is no patent covering Mp3 in Denmark.
The problem is not getting support for the 2.0 kernel, you might be able to do that. But try to get support for the linux distributions that were released with a 2.x kernel and you will be lost.
But being 50% faster at more then 4 times the price is NOT a good deal.
Just get a player that can play aac and then use the free software to remove drm from the files. That's what I plan to do as soon their music shop starts working in Denmark
An order of magnitude faster???

Now the only question is: Where the hell do I find a disk that can read more then 150MB/second, thus actuelly making a difference?
Wow, that's news to me. Do you have any documentation on what the "proper" css filter actuelly is?
