which means (even if they produce a FET version) it's still going to have the terrible electrical characteristics we see in today's transistors. Lots of bleeding and heat in the off state.
I'd much rather see people focusing on something like Intel's trigate transistor.
While current transistors can handle and 8 or 10 ghz CPU, nothing will dissipate the KWatt or so the chip would dissipate.....
books with short, simple sections would be a particular problem.
A book of Poetry, or cookbook (as mentioned by article), or even technical documentation, if i only need documentation on a small part(s) of a machine, even code samples would be left freely availible by this feature.
But for the vast majority of reading (ie full books), it is nothing more than a nice feature for smaller title to be in the public's eye so to speak.
if we're going to strike any mention of a deity from government life i suggest the following changes as well:
Christmas is no longer a federal holiday.
That new 20 (and all money) we spend millions advertising must be redesigned.
the Consitution must be ammended to exclude the phrase "in the year of our lord..."
All religous items should be banned from government buildings (hey we'd hate for some one to SEE that you belive in god, and we can't offend them like you know...)
If you wish to make the Pledge strictly voluntary (as it already is where this case was originally brought), good. But you can't possibly say a voluntary act constitutes forcing religion on anyone.
You see, we SCO execs were rich, but not filthy rich
So Darl, and a bunch of the guys decided to go around making absurd claims about how everyone and their grandmother who had access to the System V code dumped said code (which we will claim we own (yes, even the public domain parts) for the purposes of said absurd claims) into Linux.
Thus, with promises of massive payoffs from those hapless users who unkowingly used what we claim is our property, the uniformed MBA's over on wall street will want to buy our otherwise worhtless stock. And then;
3. Profit!.

Athlon 64 Debuts

HardOCP Tom's hardware Ace's Hardware
As you would expect, no chip is dominate.
though the more interesting thing for me than the nip and tuck between $800 CPUs, is the Athlon64 3200+ performs right there with the 3.2C in mosts lets. Not bad considering it retails for more than $100 less.
Chip Architect was speculating on this way back when intel's 64 bit extensions were still called Yamhill.
They make some interesting observations that lead them to belive the second 32 bit ALU was to allow for 64 bit integer operations in a 2x32 bit format. And not to assist with eliminating resource shortages in HT as some others had suggested.
And even if that does pan out it's highly unlikley to appear in desktop Prescott core chips anytime soon. Seems much more like something you'd find in Xeon MPs and later DPs to eliminate the need for that hack they call PAE.
Though i hardly see how 'somebody told us a seinor exec said' makes Slashdot.' (I understand that's what the Inquirier bases most of their news on, i thought we had slightly higher standards of reliability)
S3 will be as much a 3rd party in graphics as Cryix C3 was in the CPU buisness.
ATI and nVidia with their 6 month product cycles have produced a market where they have to find ways of convincing lots of people they need a new powerful and expensive piece of hardware atleast once a year. This has produced so much 'mid' and 'low' end harware for bargin bin prices that market is saturated. (a GF4 Ti 4200, that will run any game out there, can be found $80). Unless S3 can pull something that is both affordable (~$150) and brings something new to the table, i don't see them grabbing up a market share with this. THe only reason i have to buy a Radeon 9600 over the GF4 TI is the DX9/ARB shaders make it look pretty, not because i need the speed. And unless S3 can provide something to make me want to buy them over the big two (ie better features, faster performance, cheaper price) i'm sticking with a card that has been a solid and proven performer over the product of a company i remember as second tier hardware before they took a 7 year break.
The government inevitably wants to control information. Well, i should say everyone wants to control it (i want everything written/said about me to be glowing and wonderful, don't you?), the government just has the power to do so.
Today the 'free' western governmnets want to monitor people who visit web sites that encourage, or assist in 'terrorism.' (as defined by the government) Tommorrow, in the instrest of national security those same sites will be 'restricted access only.' After all, the leap from monitoring information (in this case those who view it) to restricting it is a short one.
And then we've started down that slipperly slope between free exchange of ideas and security, and with all that is happening in the world, the government might have the people just scared enough to follow them down it.
CNN did note it was odd Gates kept snickering and chuckeling to himself while making the statements.
and was heard to utter You think they bought it? as he left the interview.
I'm just waiting for the family of victim to sue the parents for letting their kids play a game that made them become savages.
The game industry can then sue the government for not providing proper safeguards to prevent children so influenced by a fictional game to own such a toy.
And then we can all be happy because the government will be at fault, and no one will have to take responsibility for a brutal crime committed soley by two individuals.
Intel pushing out an (unitl recently) unkown "Extreme performance" CPU targeted for the same window (October-November) as Prescott.
Considering this seems like nothing more than a Xeon MP with a bit higher clock speed, and certified for the 800mhz bus, i find it odd they would release it 30-60 days from now if they just wanted to steal the thunder from AMD's Athlon64 launch latter this month. I would have expected it out now to accomplish that.
just wondering if they're buying time to settle some issues with.09 or the power dissipation of Prescott....
ok, i understand the rational for moving the CPU,
in fact i applaud it, get my 60W space heater out from behind large large chunk of hot metal we call the PSU. I know many cases now turn the PSU 90 degrees from the ATX spec and mount it above the CPU, but requring good air flow around the CPU is nice addition.
but some things here make very little sense to me.
Like the +12V connector, they've already moved to a 24 pin BTX connector, so it's not like like they need legacy support for ATX boards, so why not make the +12V CPU power source part of the BTX connector?
do they enjoy adding pigtails to clutter the inside of my case?
-12VDC?
i'm all for ensureing legacy support, but seriously what was the last desktop device to need a -12VDC rail?
I want innovation for the sake of doing things better, not for making me buy new stuff. Looks to me like BTX is far more 'time to buy a new case' than 'hey we cleaned up alot of the hacks in ATX and tossed out the stuff we don't need anymore.'
Slashdot Mirror
SCO spokesman Blake Stowell said he did not know what the subpoenas asked for, but "I know that some of them have been served."
They haven't got a clue what they're doing, but they're doing it.
