Proccessor. Add-on? OS. Add-on? This sounds like a clever attempt to creat a support nightmare for anybody developing for the pentium pentium. Oh well.
DETAILS HAVE EMERGED of the future design of Intel's Tejas/Pentium V processor, and of how the chip firm will present it to the world.
The chip will sample internally at Intel in January 2004 and will take between four to six months to get to market. The Pentium 6 will follow a very similar schedule.
The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design.
The processor we believe, sits in the LGA 775 pin socket, and above it is a very thin heatsink. But, according to sources close to the firm's plans, another permeable heatsink can sit between this and another microprocessor module, giving a stackable design.
The final design of this arrangement is not set in stone.
According to this source, and the details have not been confirmed, a module sitting on top could provide 64-bit extensions.
And the source claimed, Microsoft is ready to launch a version of Windows called Elements with 64-bit extensions.
The idea seems to be that people can buy a 32-bit module, and then add in the 64-bit processor.
There are three samples of an arrangement of the Pentium V here in Taiwan this week, with a very thin processor and lots of wires and patches stuck on it, just to show proof of concept.
The Pentium V could have a front side bus speed of as much as 4000MHz, the source claimed, although this may be reserved for the next chip along, the Nehalem.
Let me rephrase that. If Mass. believs MS to be practicing unfair trade practices, why should they worry about been seen as unhappy with MS's product?
If I was selling lemonade on the sidewalk, and everytime somebody set up shop nearby, I hit them in the head with a rock. Wouldn't people stop buying my lemonade, just because I'm a jerk?
...The only ones I hear bitching are the gamers and why the hell do you want to run X when your running a GAME...
I run unreal tournament in windowsxp, playing in a window that runs across the top 2/3 of the screen, with IM windows for each teammate and a chat window of the team. This allows for a faster and more useful system of cummunications system when playing the more intricate team games. Additionally it presents the game in a "letterbox" format, which improves my game (and allows an higher field of vision).
This has lead to higher scores, the automatically logged chats, a more pleasant game experience, and the ability to easily check the time. The ability to window a game is quite handy. Although I am using hardware at least 2 years out of date for gaming, I still get excellent framerates and task-switching. The point is, gamers do have uses for windowed 3D accelleration. And the hardware is now bloated enough to allow it.
Additionally, the ability to use a windowed interface is damn nice when building levels....
Intersting that Mass. doesn't want to be seen as boycotting a company they claim is a disruptive monopoly. Perhaps free trade isn't such an American value, after all, when the government(s) won't even give it lip service (while choosing the cheaper, albeit morally superior option).
And once again, it seems a reminder is neccessary that we of/. are not of one mind. Some think network protocols are sacred property, others who read/post disagree. How bout that?
Maybe they can use the color-coding system the astronomers are trying to do away with, since it creates the appropriate shock and awe to whip crowds into frenzies.
Nah they'll probably color-code them the ol' fashioned way. Pale=good, down to that nasty grimey brown we all know is the root of all evil.
What? These apps all suck, and I have all the right I want to be pissed off. "Steal" is pretty difficult to claim, BTW, when I can't "Buy" bandwith for IM purposes.
Trillian saves not only cpu cycles but a lot of screen space. Something that has not been a concern to any major IM network provider. AOL is the most guilty of this. Not only that, my computer boots far more quiclky just because I don'y have to go through 5 different authorizations to get fully online.
I believe that the constant reminder that Im accessing the "AIM/Y!/MSN/etc." network is plenty of advertising on my tim already. Remeber, the increasing value of a network is a money thing, too. If I quit using my choice of client app to acces the IM Networks, I'd quit using the networks. My original idea of putting them all on the second monitor wasn't worth it. So, I'd be evangelizing Jabber to all the mainstreamers. I know of at least 6 people who have ICQ or Y! currently installed only because of my pestering.
Cutting off nerds from choosing clients would effectively damage the value of the network to it's provider.
Unfortunately, at this point Jabber is as weak as the other IMs so I still wait for one system to grow up...
And the real real reason for the blockage. Sewage.
As a matter of fact, I was a tenant in a leased house across from his main workspace. After 10 months of requesting repairs, we put our payments in an escrowe account, and demanded that he bring the house up to state mandated habitablity standards. A year later, we were in small-claims court with him. Later, he threatened my then-Fiance saying he could sue her for more that she'd ever make in her life.
The suit she had against him was for the $850.00 deposit he refused to return, claiming it as payment for the withheld rent money wich we had documented as spent on vital repairs.
During my stay at that house, I met a lady who had lived there 6 years preaviously. She asked me if the kitchen window was still broken and if the paint in the bathroom was still "peeling pink". They weren't by the time we left, and the stairs weren't collapsing if you walked on them, but it wasn't any thanks to the landlord.
Nice to see this guy can at least crawl up Billy's butt, because nobody in Santa Cruz county can stand him, including his family.
And with laws made for people like him, why do the rest of us Americans vote?
Fuck yeah. Sometimes it is so awesome to be wrong. I hope that a standaradized a/v component comes soon. but i am honestly stoked to see a light at the end of hte tunnel. I had head of Jabber before, but only as a Linux Guru's IM of choice. I'm happy to see ther is actually more substance than hype. Spread the word to the "mundanes"...
Is it impossible for the open source community to develop a new app and protocol for IM. IM is the biggest thing to not happen on the internet fro users. (Micropayments interest providers, not users.)
Give me one single robust protocol and the apps to run on it can be many and slendid. Just make sure it has everything useful from all the other IM apps out there. Even if the execution quality is poor, lay out the groundwork.
a) decentralized
b) secure
c) video and audio
d) messaging
e) file transfer
f) file browsing
g) open protocol
h) whiteboard
i) multiple logins
j) basic multiuser functionality(a la IRC)
I am certain I am missing something. But I really didn't expect things to take this long... I know hypertext took a long time to turn into the www, but that was a bit more pioneering. This is largely a technical issue, since every feature above is offered by On of the big IM's, Skype or Waste.
Obviously, the Major businesses are not intersested in developing an interoperable standard. However, it is the technophiles and pedestrian Internet Users who would benefit from this. So it should be seen to by us to create one protocol to implement such an awesome app. And even if you couldn't call POTS from it, it would catch on. Hell, if it was open, the major IM providers would probably build gateways to access it or eventually leave their existing systems to jion it, increasing it's already immense value.
At least then I wouldn't need to have Trillian, ChatZilla, IIP, Waste and Shareaza all at once (and Y! Messenger, MSN Messenger, AIM and ICQ installed) just to share a few annecdotes and family photos with friends!
Bullshit(TM). Perhaps we should change the definition of 'insightful' to: agrees with you. Then we could choose a fancy new word for modding a post that convey a quality of insight.
When you lack anything but a trolling whine about the above post, start with "Bulshit." I read garbage and thought there might be something OYHO (Outside Your Humble Opinion.)
To include something beside flaming a flamer, I'd have to say it was really easy to dind a decent cell phone with a built in memory dial and a speakerphone. Boy that made it all easy. Mixed with a few handy phrases, such as, "Hang on," and "Wait a sec," I found that using my phone driving was as easy as using it everywhere. No extra crap to carry, no dumb dialing...I even set 411 to speed-dial 4 so I could have the operator connect me on the rare chance i needed a number outside of my list. Wow. That was real hard.
Ah, but you forget how dirt poor I was. I actually connected to the www with a 1200 Hayes Smartmodem in the mid 90's. Now I feel like the king of the world with cable, but i indeed was once broke enough to be getting midi's with a 600 baud paperweight. I used to type in those stupid programs from the magazines and save them to my vic20's cassete player, long after the 128 was getting passe.
Alas, now I only have an audigy ONE! The yearning never ends:P
Just because the NGage is a lousy phone and a lousy console, and not neccessarily in that order does not make this a Bad Idea.
I'm still a fan of convergence, even though i see it done badly so often. Kinda like horror movies. I can put up with a lot of Scream swquwls for one "Ring", and I can sit through a lot of MS Bob, NGage and fridges with net connections, for one good media and entertainment device that fits in my watch pocket and last several days on a charge.
remember listening to midi files over a 600 baud modem? in a decade (and a half) we have music studios under $1000 in our bedrooms, and we barely use them for more than websurfing...
Let's see. Warrant, Air Supply, lousy music has been around and overpriced forever. Napster came and went years ago, and now people suggest boycotting? Bo Diddley claimed royalties equal to the stree value of the stuff that grows in my shower tiles, and now people suggest boycotting? Ice T is threatened by his label and censors his own album due to contractual obligations after it's release, and now you suggest boycotting? The last major label CD I purchased was in 2000. Now I purchase underground music, minor label and indy bands.
The most exciting record I can buy is not the one that is getting shoved down my throat on every radio and TV station. It's the homemade, duplicated on burners CD I buy at the warped tour from a kid half my age with 5 lousy songs and one gem! That's about twice the quality of the average RIAA release.
Even Better, I spend about 33% of what I used to, and I have a constant supply of new exciting music, I gave a guy $5 for his CD the other day in front of the local grocery store. He told me about his baby daughter it was dedicated too, and the new project he was working on. And this guy was really damn good. Really!
I've got broadband and find good stuff on iuma.com and even mp3.com I'm up to my ass in almost free music and have to take time out to just catch up. Oh, and everyone I talk to is happy to have stuff put on p2p networks and only don't cuz they aren't computer types. They want to be stars, not rich.
The RIAA and it's "music" churning system is dead. If it's inertia wasn't measured in dollars but in contribution to society, we might have noticed. How Unamerican.
And now you talk about boycotting? Why weren't you already?
You woulda thought the scientific community would have learned it's lesson after building that government-funded menace the DARPAnet. Which of course led to more flame wars than any technology to date.
Won't Biometric continually fail to catch on until a standardized, encrypted system is rollled out that is non-proprietary? Until I could slap a thumbprint on any internet capable device, I can't look forward to keeping track of which machines are keeping track of me, while I manage passwords to use the same services on other machines...
Perhaps the best thing would be a blue tooth device that will broadcast my long key, without any identifying string. Then all I have to do is remember how my login was formatted for site x an press the "authorize" button on my keyfob. This could work from amazon.com to the gym lockers down the street.
...as long as ther is a way to generate the same key again after my bluetooth SkelKey breaks, gets lost... maybe dna analysis..
I have to agree. It is the user that contimually supports web sites,.zip files, system logons, voicemail systems, corporate intranets and so on all of which perpetuate the password issue.
Perhaps a discussion of boycott will motivate web designers and other developers to consider picture matching and other forms of authentication and help do away with the over-passwording...
Then the end user will stop supporting poor interface design, and cease to be the (second) weakest link.
I adore that game! Althought I have to say the greatest thing it gave me was an appreciation for blugrass. I purchased it on the Dreamcast after I lost my pc copy, and then I purchased the platinum package for the added songs. It is quite interesting , all the things they packed in to one game. And one of those titles that instills faith in games as art.
I wish the game had been more popular, but I imagine it will take time to create a game-culture that will develop recognition. I've always been amused at the awards presented at E3. The remind me of the Mtv Music awards, i crave something like the Oscars, balancing critics and popularity...
