Take the $380 million of domestic ticket sales and add in another $467 million for overseas sells, and we are not even talking about the billion dollar brand merchandising and what the DVD sales are going to be....
But stealing is stealing and he confessed and plead guilty so it does not matter what the sales were (or were not).
While this is really old news in the compiler world and is only one of many claims in the AMD complaint, Intel never said that the performance gains of using it's compiler would increase the performance of non-Intel CPUs.
The only claim that I am aware of that Intel states for it's compiler is that produces ANSI C/C++ and ISO C/C++ standards compatible software and it does do that...
All performance gains/benchmarks over other compilers or the ANSI/ISO expected output is based on Intel processor optimizations, just review the benchmarks and legal sections. So even if AMD supports the identical machine code for MMX/SSE/SSE2/etc... Intel's optimizer does not care since it is not a 'known element', so why should it allow a non-Intel proc to execute optimizations that are tested on only Intel procs? You really think Intel's compiler group is being paid to ensure that optimizations should work on AMD's chip? (Of course WE known that the code does work....;-) )
Like many people have done before and still due today, you hard-inline your critical code and you remove the optimizer from the equation. Case closed on performance...
NOW what I would like to SEE is AMD example/evidence that Intel compiler actual causes the resultant program running on AMD procs to crash. (Section/Claim: 125 in their complaint)
Yes, the resolution sucks when compared to $2k-4k USD headset versions, but what will the cost of the phone and headset be?
The SGH-D600 phone is basically a 80MB mp3/video player with a 2MP camera and a cell phone in there somewhere also;-). Transflash based (up to 512mb) so $40 USD/256MB card is not too bad (are 512mb Transflash even available?). So the phone will not be entry-level, but again what is the cost?
If we are talking less then $500, then I'll be trying to import one to the US (unlocked of course, it's tri-band so T-Mobile, etc......), $500 to a grand, I'll wait for them to show up on ebay, over a grand and I just don't see the EU market buying the package or me...
Orange had released press info on this like two weeks ago, and one of the EU-based write-ups stated they are looking at selling a million of these things (over what time frame?) but I still really would like to see the euro sticker price is going to be...
My home page is set to google.com/lg (MyGoo) and recently after clearing out all my Firefox cookies I noticed that when I launch Firefox and MyGoo auto loads, a few seconds later I get a 'Confirm setting cookie' that.starwars.com is trying to set Wookie-Cookie.
Never noticed it before as I do go to starwars.com and 'Allow' cookies from that site, but now with the cookies deleted, www.google.com/lg is causing the starwars.com wookie-cookie to be set on my system....
I don't have time to find out right now what on the MyGoo page is causing connection to starwars.com as I'm off to play with the other grownups in the park, so does another have any ideas on this one?
LVS is not really new news and it is a nice hack and has some good use cases. But in the real world 'dictated and redundant ' load balancers (such as BigIP, etc..) are the only way you are going to run a 24/7 large dynamic web site. Would you REALLY place ONE box (Linux or not) as the gateway/proxy to your web farm, if so, then make so it is a fully redundant box (including CPU) otherwise on the day after the melt down start looking for another job. And if you really place one fully redundant box as your web farm proxy the money you spent on it is going to 10x the cost of a few BigIPs and that big box is not going to be running Linux anyway.... And a warm LVS spare is not really an option either if you are running a 24/7 site, setting up a keep-alive response system to determine if your LVS box croaked and automatically re-writing some IOS routing to use the warm spare is wrought with issues (I've seen some great setups and hacks, but not something that I would use in any type of business at is counting on revenue from their web site).
And as far as 'intensive database application' as quoted in the article, LVS does nothing for you in terms of database synchronization. If you are running a site generated from fairly static data that is synced once in a blue moon then OK you can roll a SQL engine onto each box in the farm and sync them via remote scripts, but that is not what I would call a 'intensive database application'.
Its not that I do not agree with Randall's comments, as I started out writing assy on 4 bit cpus (don't laugh, 20 years later they still make millions of them a year), but the 'article' is nothing but a sell pitch for his book. Hopefully OnLamp.com charged him to 'post' that 'article'.
I pay 12 bucks a month for their service, try that with RoamZ or tMobile or...... most of them want over $40 a month.... Great service and low prices....
Mainly WinTel32 now (no flames please), but of course Linux also. Started doing limited stufff on a PDP8, then a Vic20, but the C=64 was the the most fun (graphic routines mainly on that, anyone that knows both 'published' games gets a NOS copy of them!). But been there on 'old style' HPUX and IRIX (my favorite). Its a pain in the ass anymore and is easier to license and include a compiler, do 'on the fly' code generation, C,L,L the new library and drop the old one (This is the only practical way for WinTel64).
I been writing self-mod'ing code for almost two decades and yes it is sometimes user controled thru a process diagramming interface, but mainly it is self-optimizing code. I understand the need for NX but sure wish it was a tri-state flag.
They did not patch IE itself, they just created a IE Tray COM interface & binary (OpenwaresIEPatch.dll) and registered it to IE.
So to remove it use the register server utility (regsvr32.exe) that is installed in your system32 directory.
From cmd, cd into the patch dir, ie: "C:\Program Files\Openwares IE Security Patch" at least on my VMWARE snapshot test of the install and perform "regsvr32.exe/u openwaresiepatch.dll"
There is an uninstall.exe in that directory but I did not run it, nor have time to trace it to determine it really unregisters the COM server, deletes the patch,... or does something else;-)
And once you have unregistered it, then you can delete their directory...

And is it pronounced OOBOONTOO (orangutan for overhyped) or YOU-BUNT-TOO (a veiled baseball reference)?
Ubuntu, an African word from Zulu and Xhosa, is pronounced "oo-BOON-too".
