AMD is unlikely to win, at least matherially, but they don't care. The reason is to keep Intel on the leash for 2-3 years, as long as the trial goes. I have no doubt Intel will fly by the grass.
The average person "wants the government to be heavily involved in securing the Internet, want to eat the cake, don't trust the governmental bodies, trust Microsoft with security, don't knows what it wants Congress to do, wants Congress to do something, don't have a lot of confidence that Congress will do the right thing."
To me it sounds this person is mental shizo:) What happened with claimed "group wisdom", where the group of 30 people can count beans in the glass better than any of them separately?
And those people are allowed to vote for president????
Dell will not support AMD until 2006 at earliest

Dell Still Intel Only
·
· Score: 1
AMD is still very low volume manufacturer in Dell's eyes. They just bumped up the A64 output with 90 nm shrink by at least 50%.
Still, all this 90 nm output is completely soaked up by white box makers and just few models from HP, Gateway & co.
Dell does not like partners without excess capacity. They prefer Intel, which very often has huge loads of chips to sell, so they always ask Dell to soak up this volume out at the very low prices. Dell is usually playing the strong hand with Intel, helping it to sell.
How can they press AMD anyhow? Whatever they will ask, AMD will answer "you are just one of our partners, why should we sell to you cheaper thenm to others?". This is against Dell business model. Partner should beg them to buy parts.
Well, I suppose it's possible. When two cores are starving for data over single 800-Mhz bus, they have a lot of cooling-down NOP cycles to execute. And all this is spread over a huge die...
(at Newegg). Building a solid state mp3 player without MMC card extention is nonsence. I suggest to ignore any player that does not have that feature (iPod shuffle included).
Linux really need a positive competitor, which is called "coopetitor". And I beleive the cooperation part may outweght the competition.
What is Solaris, really? In long run, all that remains will be just a kernel and a very basic libc. All the rest - Solaris will share with Linux. They will have same desktops, same developer's tools, same Java, same web and database servers.
30% of Sun software engineers will work on semi-proprietary, sort of open source Solaris. 70% of them will be dedicated to GPL projects. I think we all must send them a very warm welcome and wish all the success to Solaris, too.
Nobody will pay for this "starter edition" as long as it is not functionally equivalent to the full edition. If Win XP Professional costs $3 and starter edition $30... figure out.
Still, I would say that the show must be aired at least 48 hours before elections. The proposed 8-hour gap sets the bad precedent for future, just sounds too fishy... The other side may use it to counterbalance whatever dirty they may imagine as an answer and make blue eyes saying "we do as they do".
Kerry might have voted for the war when he was fooled by the Bush&Co that Saddam has anything to do with terrorism. And he probably changed his mind when realising that this is blatant lie.

Practically no modern game will play on this "machine". You get a web browser, mp3 player and a text editor with printer, that's pretty much it. Garbage from my point of view.
If you need something as close to ground as this, consider Ebay. Recently I purchased a very decent a nice-looking HP's IPAQ PC for $35:

The config like the one this AOL ad has will cost you around $100-$150 on Ebay.
Ups! Super-duper Itanium with 3 (!!) Mb of cache is just a little bit faster.
So, you need to consult real benchmarks, SPECint is just interesting exersise, which should not be taking into account for anything above 2-way servers.

The MS corporate mindset is to buy. Exactly, everything they ever had they acquired from other companies, including DOS, Windows and IE.
They wrote Win2k, at least with the help of Digital team...

It will open the new opportunity for the market of non-blockable ads :-)
The very annoing flash-anymated ads will die first. Very small text-based ads spread all-over your webpage will win.
Does Adblock block text-based "Ads by Goooogle" now?

They must treat the guy as security beta-tester and waive off all fixing-that-stuff related costs. That will leave only the cost of chaising him down.
More power consumption data:

As you can see the P4 based workstation can consume up to 250W on cpu-only tests (no graphics). It's a dead-end.

Experience is that nice thing, which let you recognise your old mistake when you do it again.
I'd like to donate few $ to Mumma to support his defence. Would be nice to see people joining me.

I guess that is available, you have nothing to wait.
The AMD Athlon64 3500 consumes 20W of power on low load and 69W when you stress it. Most of the time it will be pretty cool.

Don't forget about the rest of the world. All big capitals of Europe carry most of the daily commuters in subways.
All of the Japan itself is commuting.
The people who you mention to commute in personal cars - they are the minority, actually.
Google needs the competition. Microsoft is under asslt on all fronts - why Google should be a monopoly?

MS suck anyway, so no harm will be done

I'd love to see the clamshell device. So far I know nothing but Zaurus 700, sold only in Japan.
... should be the way to go.
X-Windows predates Windows by years and is a good safe harbor.
This is extremely important. Is there any way that anyone made a copy of pulled pages? Do you think Google may have them in cache somehow? Iny ideas?
The thing is, this is a datapoint far down the Ghz line. A lot of estimates can be made based on this info...
1. Sun is the fastest computer available:
Sun Fire 15000, 104-way SMP, UltraSPARC III, 1200 MHz, 8 MB L2 cache, score is 8000
2. If you divide the score by the amount of processors: 8000/104 = 76.9
compare with
IBM eServer xSeries 440 Model 8687-38X, 16-way SMP, Intel Xeon MP 2.0 GHz, 256 kB L2 cache, score 1090
score per cpu: 1090/16 = 68.1
So, even per-cpu basis, trivial UltraSparc III is faster that P4 Xeon 2.0 Ghz.
Want to compare with Itanium?
NEC Express5800, 1000series Highend Server, 32-way SMP, Itanium2, 1.0 GHz, 3MB L3 cache, score 2750.
Per cpu: 2750/32 = 85
Ups! Super-duper Itanium with 3 (!!) Mb of cache is just a little bit faster.
So, you need to consult real benchmarks, SPECint is just interesting exersise, which should not be taking into account for anything above 2-way servers.
