Yes, I should rephrase that. Properly written software is usually forward compatible. Timing routines which rely on processing power never will scale. Using the old hack for (i=0;i is as bad as playing Marylin Manson records in a church, and should be punished in the same fashion (Derision from your peers, possible excommunication).
Actually, I am quite familiar with trolls, trolling, and the sort. Your definition would be considered a Classic Troll. More definitions can be found here, which are specific to Slashdot. You still don't believe me, check my sig.
And I agree with your analogy. Hasn't backwards-compatibility been the legacy (and bane) of the x86 architecture? Programs written for a 286 should theoretically run on a 686. It's best to bridge the gap between 32 and 64 now, rather than start all over again.

No, a troll would be saying that you're going to buy some eggs to fry on this processor, or even better some grits to pour on Natalie Portman.
And the end user won't realize a big difference, and the bang-for-buck ratio won't be there either. But serious database apps, cad, and any other high-end market will most definitely benefit.
Parse the message first please!

But the world puts up with it because of the shitty, Dollar store trinkets that they produce. They start producing other things that can put a dent in the economy, then you can bet that there would be heavy pressure on their government to stop.
Also, at what point would the people stop being walked all over? Once China has a huge economy, capitalist, communist or otherwise, if the wealth is not spread a bit more than now (which has gotten better than ten years ago), the people just might wise up.
They just want to keep the Chinese as a cheap labour force. Prevent them from producing anything that isn't sold in a bargain bin, and you've doomed them to western dependance.
No, Sun is doing what they always have. Selling a complete solution. This is just easing the migration to sun gear, while keeping the x86 boys interoperable.
Just by bringing this up you are a terrorist. You just gave two alternatives to making terrorist plans on the internet. Do you want to talk about encryption next?
Please leave your house unlocked tomorrow. We'll stop by in a couple of black vans and take a peek at your record collection, mail, what types of soap you are using, and anything else that could tip us off to more terrorist-enablers like you.
In addition, why can't we pick our own characters? The original was great, I played nearly every combination of characters possible (although I gave up on the four white mages, the ogres slaughtered me every time).

I'd much rather avert the problem then spend my days rubber-hosing my staff for unleashing a virus on the network.
Do you have your disk drives removed, USB plugs covered, as well as your POP monitored? Are you a gambling man?
That is not without its own problems. A certain secure shell comes to mind...
The answer, whether it's windows, linux, unix, bsd, plan 9, or even a commodore 64, is patch early, patch often, test, and pray.
It took a period of 500 years for the British nobles to remove power from the King, but only 50 years to give it back.
Prepare for 500 years of serfdom, people. It's not going to get better.

You'd give him the finger too, if it weren't for that damned carpal tunnel.

Your field is currently impractical?
You could try pot.
rendering images of Natalie Portman covered in hot grits no less.
Anymore cliches left? How about
1: Spin Electrons
2: ????
3: Profit!
Or, In soviet Russia, electrons spin you!
But where's the fun in that?
Oh yeah, I forgot. Torture!

Hello New old money.
I played as two thieves, and two red mages, but never four thieves. Time to break out the ol' NES roms.
It would have been, but the entire department was made redundant.
Their jobs went to India.
Naw, Taco'd have to spam just to get back to his fighting weight.
If you were a millionaire Basketball star, which ass would you stick it in?
(Aside from his hot wife's)
Aw hell, I'll stay logged in just to kill Karma. Hi Michael!!!

Hell, if I had one of those at the office, I wouldn't just steal the book, I'd sell it too!
And print it off on the high-speed laser at work.
As long as I don't have to buy a subscription, this one looks easier hacked than the X-box, and cheaper to build than a Via box.
If it has a full-fledged mobo and bios, I'm all for it. Let's just hope they sell it at a loss as well.
