Why can't AMD make a Dual AMD64? They DO. It's called an Opterion! Guess you are refering to the Athlon64 which is a one way processor (just like the Pentium 4).
BTW the Opterion is made in 3 flavors, the 100 series is a SINGLE way cpu with NO smp support. It's very nearly the same as the Athlon64-FX. The Opterion 200 series is a 2 way (2 cpus), and the Opterion 800 series supports up to 8 cpus. AMD dropped plans for a 400 series, but you can use the 800 series chips to build servers with 1-8 cpu's.
If anybody DOES see the code, perhaps they might scan it to see if it contains any GPL'ed code (stolen from Linux perhaps?) Hey maybe SCO stole the code! (SCO sues MS! Wait they can't Bill bought a license! OTHO they might anyway!)
Actually I wouldn't get within 100 yards of the windows code myself!
Having a good browser for Linux was the point here. The fact that the SAME browser works on windows is a good thing since it means that no mater which os you run, you are not stuck with MS standards on the web.
What if wages paid to workers who are NOT *United States taxpayers* were NOT tax-deductable as a business expense? That would make it much more costly to outsource, and more cost-effective to fill the job with a U.S. taxpayer (IOW, probably a citizen, but at the very least someone who is contributing to the economy of THIS country, not to that of some other country). I'll go one better. Since by outsourcing a company is depriving the IRS of tax dollars that WOULD have been paid by a US employee AND the social security fund is not being supported by FICA taxes paid by employee and employer, what if the IRS were to ASSUME a tax due from said company based on the wages that WOULD have been paid to a US citizen doing the same job? DITO for the FICA taxes.
You're just not looking at it in the long term. If everyone begins outsourcing to India, then the law of supply and demand requires that eventually the cost of doing this will rise. So they'll begin to outsource to some other, cheaper, country. The cycle will repeat itself until eventually the U.S. is the cheapest place to 'outsource' jobs to. This has actually happened with manufacturing! The Japanese auto makers have moved their plants to the US because they can produce cars cheaper here than in Japan. (The cost of shipping completed cars to the US has something to do with this). Honda's built in the US are actually of hight quality than those imported from Japan, though today few ARE imported from Japan.
The ONLY advantage that RISC had over CISC was that it was faster because it wasn't microcoded. Each instruction in a RISC cpu is HARDWIRED. Hardwiring a cpu takes a ton of logic and you can't change the instruction set in software (well you CAN if the hardwiring itself is programable, as in erasable fuse links). Today aproaching billons of transistors on a chip the disadvantage of hardwiring is gone. You CAN hardwire a CISC instruction set, a CISC instruction can take a single clock cycle (or LESS if you put several execution units in parallel). So there is no longer any advantage to RISC, RISC is dead!
Actually the trip need not be one way, just a very extended stay. Future supply missions could bring a return vechile piece by piece, and fuel could be manufactured on the martian surface from raw materials using solar power. Eventually roung trips to the planet would be routine and the early explorers could be recalled. By this time the base would be self sustaining.
The problem with this reasoning is that "pentium" is directly of Greek origin, *not* Latin (otherwise, it would be based on "quinque", not "pente"). Thus the next in the series would have been the "hexium", *not* "sexium". Yeah, but hexium sounds like witchcraft.
The current logo could stand for NetBsd's liberation of computers,etc. What's wrong with it is as they said, it's a large image. Linux, freeBSD, OpenBSD, RedHat, Mandrake, etc all have smaller images that are alot easier to use.
So howabout just using the NetBSD flag hoisted on the pitchfork as the logo?
Looks like 3 different athlon 64's. socket 754 is single channel memory. socket 939 (won't fit opteron) with dual channel ram. 1m cashe = FX, 1m is athlon 64.
Will socket 939 chips work in socket 940 mb? current athlon64fx chips will work in opteron mbs.
Read it again. Your XP 2800+ is a SOCKET A cpu. It won't work in a socket 754 mb. The new chip is a socket 754, same socket as the Athlon64. Get it? This new chip is a 32 bit Athlon-xp that plugs into an Athlon-64 mb! Why? Because AMD probably has plans to kill socket A and ALL desktop Athlons will move to the socket 754.
IBM is STILL a shitty two faced company. They plan on moving alot of their software development to India. I personally would NOT buy ANYTHING from IBM. Also, their printer line has the WORST support under Linux!
YES. M$ has put Intel on notice it will NOT support a third 64 bit processor under windows. If they want their x86-64 to run windows it WILL use the AMD64 instruction set, or it will NOT be supported.
Interresting thought on the subject. Here in S.Fla. the Latin crowd likes to make expresso with a ton of sugar in it, what's known as Cuban Coffee. I usually have one cup of tea in the morning at work (to finish my waking up process) with just enough sugar in it to counter act the bitterness in the tea but not to impart an actual sweetness to the drink. I might join in with a very small cup of the Cuban Coffee later in the day (the amount served is enough to fill a large thimbal or two, about 1/2 a shot glass). I used to think over the weekend I was suffering from caffeine withdrawal, but the amount I'd actually be consuming seems quite low compared to what people here are talking about! Still the ONLY headache medicene that seems to work for me is Excedrine, which is a witch's brew of 50% aspirian, 50% tylonal, and a dash of caffeine. It might actually be the cafeine that is doing the work, or acting as a catalyst.

I hope EV1 will then file suit against SCO for fraud, in selling them a license that they had NO right to sell (and demand their $1000000 back).
That's the only way they will wipe the shit off their face.
OK how do I upgrade from 1.4 to 2004?
I suspect the answer is emerge sync ; emerge -u world but I'm not sure.
Hey is 2004 still using devfs with 2.6? Get with the times guys!
for people who disable the g.d. thing 5 minutes after you purchase the car.
I hope someone in the confederate air force buys it for the ghost squadron.

Now that LEGAL WORK is also being outsourced to INDIA putting lawyers out of work, MAYBE something WILL come out of congress to stop this madness!
I'd like to see a ban on government contracts to ANY american firm that doesn't have 100% American labor on the contract.
He should sue the RIAA
Patents are also used to defend against OTHER patents. "You license my use of your's for free and I'll let you slid on mine"
IBM's way of using patents.
Hubble has a built in 'cap' that can be opened and closed on command from the ground.

If I were CEO of Google I might consider this extortion and if it threatend my IPO I'd file a big fat lawsuit against SCO.

The old man should have fired EVERYONE who suggested the outsourcing. (I would have done that were I in his shoes.)
