Intel didn't sell off an ARM division. ARM has always been a separate company. They BOUGHT the StrongARM part of Digital/Compaq years ago and renamed it XScale and still have it.
Secondly, the current Pentium-M/Core processors are decended from Pentium-III and Pentium Pro, so the thing they learned from P4 was that it was a dead-end architecture. I'm sure there are some elements here and there they "backported" to Pentium-III to make the current Dual Core 2, but you statement is not really accurate there either.
OK I've asked a couple lawyers and they all seem to agree. If Apple sells their OS separately on their website (which they do)*. They can't legal say that you can only use their software their hardware. The other side of course is you need to break the DMCA to use it on any other hardware. I'd really like to see someone challege Apple in court. I don't think they can legally say you can buy their OS, but can only use it on their hardware.
* Currently, they only sell the PPC version, but let's assume they'll offer the next release to Intel Mac users.
OK I realize not everyone know about Galileo, but please understand this has been in the works for at least 10 years. This is not "news" per se. As we get closer to launch it gets more press.
> Windows is what the vast majority of the gamers use, so that's who the developers develop for.
Not to be pedantic, but I think Playstation has Windows beat on both these counts for games.
Although, Sony is evil in it's own way, I'm still hoping for more progression of future game away from Windows and toward Playstation. I won't run Windows, but I will buy a Playstation. Mostly because all the security and stability issues of Windows. You pop a game in a console it just starts. On the other hand I won't buy XBox either, because I don't want to extend Microsoft's monopoly powers. The fact that PS3 is suppose to ship with Linux pre-installed has won lots of points for me as well. We'll see if it's true when it comes out.
It's worse than you think. If you look closely at the release notes, you have to install Microsoft Direct X 9.0c with the comment "Make sure you're following the Microsoft license agreement.".
That's why the ATI doesn't work. I think they're using the fact that there's a unified NVidia driver between Linux and Windows and that somehow make them able to use the Microsoft Direct X library directly.
OK I'm not sure if it's just that it's high pitched, but my I've never seen my cat react to a sound like he did for this. He was all interested and looking around. Wonder if he understands what it means better than I do?
I bought a bunch of scanners for my Project Gutenberg work. I found a lot of really slow ones that will drive you crazy when trying to scan a whole book. I recommend the Epson 2400, it was cheap and is really fast. It might not still be available but Epson is a good start in general. Check the SANE List if you care about Linux combatibility.
Also see this wiki for a discussion of various opinions on scanners.
What I really want to know is will MPlayer ever be an official Fedora Extra package? I know the answer as long as Red Hat controls it is "No, there are patents and other questionably legal stuff in MPlayer". However, other distros like Debian ship it (anyone else like to comment on others like Gentoo?). However, with this change separating it from Red Hat is it possible that Extras could get some of these "Rogue" packages?
Personally, I think the answer is a solid "maybe".
It will be mired it cost over-runs and evaluately be cancelled. There's a small chance it may get to orbit, but it will NEVER get to the moon. There's just not the political will to make it happen. Most likely it will never make it out of the design phase.
In 50 years, after 12 revisions and cancelations the U.S. will return to space.
If the past is any measure, expect a Illinois state law banning local cities from offering free 802.11

So Mach number is related to air density (speed of sound). At 100,000 ft there's not a lot of air, so while the speed of sound is about 700 mph at sea level, it's not at 100,000 ft. Are they cookin' the books or am I missin' something?
I actually really liked Java when it was new and was a big advocate. But when it became clear that Sun was "controlling" the language and it's wasn't open then I quit using it.
Well, my bit-torrent is sitting here reading 0.0 for the last 20 mins. SuprNova show people are d/ling and I assume it's the quota that's holding me up, but I wonder...
I've tried to build some Windows projects from source code using Wine, but I always run into the problem of MS Foundation Classes (MSFC). I believe most developers are just copying the needed code out of the Microsoft package. Is there any other solution? Are there any ACTIVE projects working on MSFC? (I know there's a few dead ones.)
Is it just me, or is the point of this article confusing at best? The Blog starts out talking about how there should be lots of Mac developers, but there probably isn't that many. Then goes in to a history of OSs over the last few years, esp. the ones that didn't make it.
But I'm most confused about what the Slashdot poster is saying....what does Longhorn have to do with this blog? I'm an experienced developer and I can't follow how any of these things are connected. It just seems like rambling buzzwords from Mac lovers.
Well, it's clear they're on to us now. Obviously, virus writers are terrorists and thus the prudent course of action is to "capture" all Linux users and hold them as enemy combatants without a trial.

To be clear, that's exactly the question I asked. He said that part of the EULA would be dismissed immediately as illegal bundling.

I think I got it. From this page: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/sound.ht ml
Speed of sound is still 684 mph at 100,000 ft
So Mach number is related to air density (speed of sound). At 100,000 ft there's not a lot of air, so while the speed of sound is about 700 mph at sea level, it's not at 100,000 ft. Are they cookin' the books or am I missin' something?
I'm curious about how high the swarm speed with get for the torrent. How can we monitor it? The Duke site doesn't list those stats.
1) Abandon the ISS, it's not really that useful.
2) 'Disasters' happen, so stop trying to send people. It's much easier and cheaper to do it unmanned.
3) Nah, NASA doesn't have money for new technology, concentrate on just getting lots of simple small unmanned flights.
4) spaceship-one can't reach orbit.

Nanotechology belongs in the same catagory as Astrology. They both predict the future...badly...and have no substance.
