They will probably do the same as intel...Dual core chips won't use the leading edge cores, probably for power and heat dissipation reasons as well as marketing ones.
Therefore if you're going to buy a system for raw performance such as hardcore gaming, you'll still be better off for now buying a single-core FX-55. Most current game engines are optimised for single core anyway. It'll be intersting to see how quickly that changes, if at all.
Most EULAs (especially Microsofts) are so open-ended, long, and filled with legal doublespeak that even if you read them thoroughly you still don't really know what you're agreeing to.
There should be a legally enforced industry-standard EULA such that all that is listed at install time are any non-standard exceptions to the standard, in plain non-ambiguous language. This makes what you're agreeing to short,sweet and clear.

but surely the consumers groups represent large amounts of consumers generally. What does he expect? every US citizen to individually turn up to court?
is there mechanism in the US constitution to allow US citizens to vote on individual issues?
Ahh well there's the trick. I don't see any companies currently doing that, do you? they're all hoping nature will do that part for them at a fast enough rate.

I phoned and complained to HP directly and they told me about an undocumented feature: hold down the start button on power up and it skips the cartidge check.
umm nope.
Some HP printers have their own time/date clock built in, such as my psc 950.
Conincidentally, its just started telling me that my 1 year-old cartridge has run out of ink, even though we have only printed about 200 sheets. (I know this as I bought a 500 sheet pack of paper at the same time as the cartridge, and there's more than half left).
Woo BFD. This is obviously just a PR exercise rather than an acutal attempt at heleipng. The defence lawyers have already said any kind of defence will be $7500 minimum.
If Wozniak REALLY wanted to help he should drop this case. It's his company thats bringing it, after all.
that supposedly intelligent people are atill hell-bent on producing and consuming gasoline by preference.
Even if it is made from recycling, burning gas still produces pollution that is leading directly to an environmental catastrophe, no matter how hard most americans including the president, refuse to acknowledge it.
These scientists would be doing the world a much bigger favour by researching pollution-free alternatives like hydrogen power instead.
Windows doesn't have a.rar viewer built-in as standard anyway. It would be a bigger problem if windows could open.rar files by default.
This elevates most.rar users to the not-quite-so-dumb crowd, as they had to at least know enough to download a.rar archiver to open the virussed.rar in the first place.
It sounds somewhat reasonable until you do some reasearch and discover that he's also planning to sue the developers of mame (mamedev) too.
That fact alone makes you realise this guy is just greedy scum. Unfortunately greedy scum also make the best liars too, so his arguments will probably trap most of the uninformed readers out there.
There are already working cures for cancer, but the FDA are sitting on them so that the drug companies can make more money selling drugs to alleviate the symptoms, not the problem.
of the UK TV licence fee. It goes towards direct funding of the BBC which means that BBC TV programming is high quality and commercial-free. Therefore the UK has some of the best TV programming in the world.
TV in countries like the USA have crap programming and so many repeats, all interrupted by so many commercial breaks because crappy programming is cheap and commercials bring in the money. Consequently, most US TV is such a mediocre experience (except for PBS) that it not even worth the disk space, and if you wait few days you'll get the same episode of Seinfeld again anyway.
yes its an interesting question, but the point remains that no matter what the excuse is, each US citizen is producing WAY more cabon than anyone else, WHICH HAS TO BE STOPPED, regardless of exactly why they do it.
I can't see that the current internet infrastructure can support anything like the kind of bandwidth needed for this. Millions/Billions of simultaneous full res video streams will surely bring everything to a crawl.
how Americans flatly refuse to accept the blindingly obvious (and what every government in the world apart from the USA knows) that human-made greenhouse gasses are to blame for global warming.
I suppose its hardly surprising when you realise that US citizens per capita are the higest polluters in the world, and the president is totally owned by the oil corporations.
Here's some figures (from http://www.geni.org/globalenergy/library/national_ energy_grid) for Carbon emissions per citizen per year in metric tons: USA: 5.51 Finland: 2.8 Germany 2.7 UK: 2.5 Spain: 2.1 France: 1.83

It depends on the app. Specifically if it is multithreaded or not. if it is, different threads can run on different cores.
Most current desktop apps don't use many/any threads therefore aren't as able to really capitalise on SMP architectures.
As dual-core gets more generally widespread, there will be more pressure/benefit for developers to write multi-threaded apps.
Umm why would intel be worried about 64bit? all new pentiums (both single and forthcoming dual) have EM64T too...

So this is a rootkit in itself.
I don't know that I'd trust Microsoft anymore than anyone else running rootkits on my ststem.
Well analog tv is planned to cease entirely soon (cant remember the date exactly but not far away).
That presumably means no-one will be making new analog TV's or analog equipment either.
wow thanks for the keycodes info.

Thats just more political weasel words.
Just because the carbon didn't come from drilling, doesn't mean it hurts the atmosphere less.

ummm noo... it applies to all dtv.
aaahhh sooo... rinzip... doh... rin... doh.. fuckit RAR.

I think that if you want to judge the entire UK restaurant secene by only eating fish-paste sandwiches, then you've missed the point.
Personally I'd prefer to eat some of the nicer food available and drink some of the best beer in the world.
Actually every time I go to Denmark, I rediscover how rude and arrogant most Danish women apparently are, in comparison to UK women.
