do you really think AMD is a small fish? They've been making processors for 35+ years.
and quit clouding the issue, AMD has 'launched' many processors that were not actually available for several months.
The barton line being an excellent example, followed by the mysterious 400mhz fsb bartons that seemed to be but a legend 4 - 6 months after their announcement.
AMD sitting there?... not at all, they will be fighting against bankrupcy like they have off and on for the last 10 years despite their advances.
It is swung around in circles... as if you held out a whip in front of you and twirled it fast in circles... no rotation happening.
As for the advantage any piece of the flagellum gives to the bacterium... IT LETS THE BACTERIA MOVE! are you stupid? Perhaps in earlier forms it helped the bacteria move in a different way, or was there for some other purpose, but if it offered no advantage it would degenerate given enough generations, the way our appendix has.
Evolution has no goal. We are not a goal, we are not an end product, we are simply what has come about from it at this time. Our bodies are full of all kinds of very poorly 'designed' systems... poorly designed because THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED! they are just coincidences that led to better survival.
-- Your back, does it get sore? most peoples do. Our 'design' of back spent many more millions of years in 4 legged animals, it hasn't evolved fully for upright walking. -- Our knees... see back. -- the appendix, not used, not needed, useless leftover that causes problems for some people. -- those perfect eyes you mention... actually they have a limited imperfect lifespan as garbage byproducts build up in cells under the rods and cones in special garbage storage cells. eventually the cells get full and the rods and cones can't regenerate their light sensing chemicals. -- our metabolism... extremely poorly 'designed' as for half of our society, it stays stuck in the feast or famine mode from millions of years of being hunter/gatherers, making us fat in this time of easy cheap high calorie food.
Evolution allows a chemical chain reaction that started some 4billion years ago to keep on running. Thats all there is too it. A reaction that gave us the illusion of being self-conscious, and allowed us to create imaginary gods to keep us from being scared around the campfire at night. Intelligent Design is nothing more than an extention of the fantasy of gods with room for a few observations here and there where you dumbasses are willing to admit that there is some understanding of processes.
now what part of '4.0 ghz processor delayed' did you not understand?
its pretty obvious that they are waiting until they are able to produce working processors in sufficient volume... so that its not just a paper launch based on a couple working prototypes like AMD has become famous for.
The point is to force jibjab to stop distributing their amusing video that shows what a damn fool your dumbass genocidal president is, and how your screwed up political system has failed to produce much of an alternative to dubya.
No doubt I was marked as redundant, not because i was redundant, but because the moderator just blew $30,000 on Oracle, taking money out of the xmas bonus fund, when he now knows he didn't have to.
Oh well, There's always next year... well, except for those maintenance fees.
Poor guy, yet another fool moderator missed the point and marked you as a troll.
I suspect that moderator works for oracle and doesnt like you speaking the truth.
Of course the real point is that software companies... and really ALL companies of everytype will charge you as much as they can get away with. THERE IS NO STORY HERE!
Now I'll go fishing for karma..
DUMP ORACLE, USE POSTGRESQL... its open source, its free, it has evolved to handle most companies needs. If Oracle tries to screw you, you have an alternative that will screw them.
Oh ya, its because you can only think with the open source half of your brain.
Of course software companies will try to charge you more money any chance they can!
Just like every other product you can buy anywhere, if they can sell it for more, they will.
Wake up!
Until you complain enough, they will reap what they can from this conundrum.
If you don't like how Oracle screws you on your new dual core processor, then send them packing, I'd bet that Postgresql / PostGIS is now sufficient for the needs of most enterprise database users.. AND ITS FREEEEEE.
In fact, I personally am going to skip the chance at ever having the topic at hand affect me.....
Today I called, found out that, ESRI in canada charges $13,500 for a 1cpu license of ArcSDE or $19,000 for a 2cpu license, it remains to be seen what they define as a CPU.
But instead of blowing that $19,000, I am installing PostGIS to serve my spatial datasets. Screw them!... they really didnt like it when I pointed out that I'll be saving $52,000 by using MapServer + Postgresql + PostGIS over their ArcIMS + ArcSDE/Oracle setup.
And the joke is on them as my system is faster, easier to setup / deploy, and can handle much bigger raster datasets in a fraction the time.
Looks like you all ignored the article posted a couple days ago describing the Mozilla problem.
Remember?... the one where nearly everyone here put the blame totally on MS, that Mozilla was in no way to blame even though it was Mozilla passing the dangerouse commands to windows.
I laid out how it is, how you hypocrites do it:
problem with MS, blame MS. problem with anything Linux, blame MS.
And you fools have proven it beyond doubt on this thread.
You can't have it both ways. If the Mozilla problem wasn't really a problem, then it can not be called a problem for these MS products for exactly the same reason.
just so you know, PCB's often build up on road surfaces, having been expelled in small quantities from vehicle exhaust.
That gets washed into the surrounding drainages... like the East River if you just happen to be in that part of the world.
In Victoria BC, environmentalists are trying to sue the city for allowing PCB's to enter the surrounding ocean. Victoria doesn't dump PCB's. The source was found to be the runoff from roads.
I find myself less and less willing to watch after the few times time lines have been broken in Enterprise, where the crew should have no longer had any knowlege of the other time line.
if something gets passed a firewall, is it still windows at fault when it receives the attack that slipped through?
NOOOOOO.
Now, you can either stop blaming the results of a mozilla fault on windows, or never complain again about the similar faults that are found in IE from time to time.
You are saying that the program that receives the malicious command should just blindly pass it along to windows, pass the buck, who cares about the consequences.
But when a MS product does anything like this all hell breaks loose, that the attack should have been prevented where it was received, not down the line.
warning, an analogy follows this statement, all analogies are inherently imperfect but I'm sure you will manage to get the damn point....
Would you keep a firewall up that although secure in some ways, still simply passed an obvious very high risk command onwards for the operating system to deal with? umm do I even have to say the word NO?
But its OK, its an open source product, so passing the buck on is not considered evil the way it would be for an MS product.
Open your eyes, its a case of the open sourcers being totally unable to admit there could possibly be an 'MS style' fault with one of their products.
Actually a lot of the huge problems that have happened with evoting have been due to poorly trained operators... giving voters the wrong paperwork etc so that their votes end up counting in the wrong jurisdictions.
There was an election in california not too long ago where one jurisdiction gave more votes to one of the candidates than there were registered voters!... and it was the operators screwing things up.
actually, what you are talking about is the Dubya lovers excersising their power to destroy your rights and freedoms. They use the guise of protecting the 'fair' and 'democratic' election system, when really its about hiding opposing opinions regardless of rights. In some countries they just murder the opposition parties, maybe someday that will be acceptable in the USA too.
It doesnt matter if you agree or disagree with the message of the movie.
What matters is whether or not you let the Dubya lovers take away the rights that so many died for in other wars that were far more legitimate than Iraq.
Did your uncle, or grandfather die in WW2? Did your ancestors fight for american independance from the British.
well too bad, to hell with their memory, instead lets throw that away and give up our rights so that Dubya can screw the world for another 4 years.

Your example of the flagellum is wrong.
It is not rotated.
It is swung around in circles
As for the advantage any piece of the flagellum gives to the bacterium

hmmmm
now what part of '4.0 ghz processor delayed' did you not understand?
its pretty obvious that they are waiting until they are able to produce working processors in sufficient volume
Everyone on this board has missed the point.
The point is not the fight over a copyright.
The point is to force jibjab to stop distributing their amusing video that shows what a damn fool your dumbass genocidal president is, and how your screwed up political system has failed to produce much of an alternative to dubya.
It's all about Dubya trying to get re-elected.

Now I'll go fishing for karma
DUMP ORACLE, USE POSTGRESQL
hows this for market pressure
Postgresql / PostGIS is FREEEEE
and will probably meet any needs you have with your other databases.
Why are any of you surprised?

Send the coder to the Open Source world because no one is going to pay him to code anymore.
And send his supervisor too for not testing the system properly before trying to roll it out.
Well here you go,

Its true.

who cares if they keep the faces of the romulans hidden from humans.
Its not like they every truly resolved why Klingons looked so different in Kirk's time compared to later.
and your point is about the windows overflow is?

NOOOOOO.

hilarious.
I bet there's 100 'useful behaviours' that the open source lovers have cheered about loosing to make microsoft products more secure.
But somehow its wrong to do the same on mozilla.
ya ya ya, keep talking and prove my point more.
....

The real difference between them ...
... what the hell!
When a bug is found in IE, everyone blames Microsoft.
When a bug is found in Mozilla, everyone blames Microsoft.
hey, wait a minute
unregulated ... but not for long thanks to the irresponsible hackers.
Hair is dead protein, so I was half right.
And leave my grammer out of this, she's a nice old lady.
Great, a microsoft joke about grey hair and user groups.
Now we'll have to put up with all the linux fanboys sporting freshly died deep dark hair, claiming the latest kernal has made them young.
The people who posted ABOVE posted after me.
dumbass.
Ok, am I the only one that noticed that Mr. CmdTaco stated above that Cassini is orbiting Titan?
Of course the satellite is in fact orbiting Saturn.
It's necessary that I point out this fact because so many Americans don't even understand that the Moon orbits the earth.

You just keep on believing that while the Dubya supporters keep on working hard to hide opposing views of the hell Dubya has caused.
.... if you have any rights at all left by then.
... for tomorrow you may not be allowed to.
Maybe after the election you'll get to buy the DVD
