These articles are complete garbage. No mention of methodology is made. What files were loaded, what conditions were they loaded under. Was it the same machine, or a very similar machine. What distro, what JVM, and on, and on, and on. Sounds like another MS shill to me.
I think it kind of depends on what you do for a living. If you work at Wal-Mart, you probably don't need it. If you are and Physicist or Engineer (like my wife and I), you probably do. And thats hard to know in High School
When did Slashdot start letting trolls on the front page. While there are upsides to all three of the PC environemnts, this article was just meant to piss people off.
Most have at most 10 layers of metal. 32-40 Masks (the glass they use to etch is not uncommon) This is however, stacking two dies on top of each other. I was working with the group that did this when I was an undergrad, the biggest problem are all of the differing thermal expansion coeffs.

I'm not sure why this x86 myth persists. It would make absolutely no sense to Apple to get into the Intel space. This is one in the long line of rumours that refuse to die.
You must be a law student. In Science and Engineering, if you can't get paid to be a grad student, thats the world telling you that you need to find a new profession.
You can get cheap 10 layer boards from places on the net. Then you can build a solder reflow oven (a toaster+microcontroler) to mount the BGAs and those surface mounted resistors and caps. But the real problem is designing the damn thing. You have multi-inch traces that need to go 100+ Mhz. At 50 Ohms/50pF, that is one pain in the ass, even if you have an EE degree.
Pci-Express and PCI-X are not interchangable. PCI-X is really fast PCI, where-as PCI-Express is different altogether (Although a PCIe to PCI/PCI-X bridge is supported).
Depending on how these systems are configured, it may not be possible to use that many monitors.
Who let 1960 AT&T on slashdot. Wasn't there a court case that decided that you can put 3rd party hardware on the public telephone network? Although, I imagine that you would have trouble connecting the cable "modem" to your phone jack.
Yeah, Bluecurve is the most attractive thing I've seen this side of Mac OSX. Also, I really don't like this license, with the mix of free and non-free. Seem to me that there are plenty of free software alternatives to all of the features that work just as well or better.
Yeah, I agree. I this is a great move. I'm an EE in Microelctronics, and I had been very dissapointed in Intel's tricks to get MHz up. For instance, those overly long pipelines. I'm glad they finally decided to come around and realized that both MHz and CPI(cycles per instruction) matter.
To first order, a chip is only limited by the setup & hold time of a latch, but that may not be a very good chip. It may run at 50 GHz, but its not going to do much more than heat up your case.
Every psychology professor I ever had brought up the point that GPA and Major have no correlation to lifetime earnings, but height does. One even went so far as to say that women tend to make less money on average because they are shorter, and tend to do as well as men their height.
I never understood why people are so suspicious of 50s and 100s. They must get checked mostly because you are out of more money if they turn out to be fake.
However, we should really check 20s, since they are the most popular and most counterfited bill. Its no mistake that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing picked the 20 to start with.
Damn right. Thats the first thing I thought. Makes perfect sense. I think I took a whole course in this: i = Current j = sqrt -1 L = inductance q = charge C = capacitance G = conductance

The bozo could have been pro se, costing only 500 bucks or so. Otherwise I agree, the patent office is a great place to search while bored.
I'll believe it when they start yielding these things at greater numbers than one, on chips with a high SRAM and logic density.

A lot of times they do this very thing.
1.4Ghz, 2.4 Ghz, 3.4 Ghz Pentium III are all the same chips, they are just fail built in tests at different places.
The upside is that the 1.4 Ghz chips, provided the PLL can run that slow, will be much lower power, and you can still sell them.
The reason they come up with different chips, is to make much, much lower power chips.
Don't forget Hockey, Sirius also has Hockey. (When they actually Play)
Be careful, Microsoft might think this counts as a Shared Source Initiative.

That's funny. My sister has classes in art school to make 3D Art for Video Games.
I'm sure she would be surprised to learn that she is getting a "simulation" degree and not an Art degree.
Why can't our legislators deal with real problems, you know like our economy and the environment. Oh yeah, because this makes for an easy deamon.

Presidential Debates are only available on the "internets." Just like the Draft rumors.

I'm skeptical. Anything could have caused those burn marks. It doesn't have to be an RFID tag.
The Federal Government needs to do the same thing. Local/State governments don't have a monopoly on dumb laws.
applaction? application, perhaps?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
