Privacy means you can do whatever you want and people can't see! Don't you understand?! If I am dry-humping a billy goat in front of an Italian restaurant bay window, the people taking pictures of me and posting them on reddit is an INVASION OF PRIVACY!!!!!!!!11
The "typical hacker" didn't have access to IA64 and the major companies supporting IA64 didn't invest in Linux-for-IA64
This has nothing to do with availability, or even cost per unit factor. These machines were plagued with the same problem that Alpha servers had... they weigh in excess of 200lbs. Even as a hobby, for a free machine, I'm not paying shipping on that bastard
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was difficult to do "anything sending this address anything more than 100k in a second -> oblivion". What legitimate client would be doing that?
Like I've argued, actual code is covered by copyright. If I code something that has the end result as yours, from a patent perspective, it would be like a Xerox copier to a Ditto machine. They both copied documents, but differently. Now if I code something and the guts are the same that is naughty, and covered by copyright law.
What is fair to the majority is still unfair to the minority. The spread isn't always 99%/1%. It could easily be 51%/49%. Fairness is subjective, which is why life isn't fair, UNLESS you are the one who makes the rules.
You've *been* a lawyer? Not a very good one, I imagine. For a lawyer, there seems to be a blanket over your eyes that no lawyer I know has. Let us start:
First, lawyers do fine with or without arbitration clauses
Really? Every lawyer I know is as broke as the rest of us, still trying to pay for law school 10+ years after graduating
Arbitration is generally more expensive than litigation, for several reasons including the obligation of the complainant to pay the arbitrator fees, contrary judges who are paid by taxpayers
That is a lie, or gross misrepresentation. Arbitration is almost always paid for by the defendant, who wishes to go through arbitration, because a civil suit is generally devastating.
As for lawyers receiving most of the damages, that is an entire topic to itself. Class proceedings exist for three purposes:... (3) correct bad behaviour
Jesus, no they aren't. You learn this shit in Legal 101. Civil is not criminal. If I have to explain any further, there is no hope.
200-250 Watts is perfectly fine in my world. I have an 850 Watt power supply in my main machine, I think it can supply the needed energy.
There has never been a chip to consume that much power because it would catch fire. It isn't speculation. The highest wattage CPU made was 140W. There is a really good reason for that. You can carry away all of the heat unless the cores are laid side by side, but then you would have a processor the size of your motherboard.
The GPU on die stuff is cute, but honestly, who cares?
Imagine a world, where your video card has a direct link to your CPU (and memory). It is here! It is more than cute, it is efficient and effective. The short of it, however, is they aren't putting super-magically-delicious GPU cores in them... yet.
You also are totally missing the purpose of having an/many ARM cores in with the x86 cpu. It's ultra-low power stupid cores that you can throw a multitude of tasks at, without throwing away x86 compatibility. The Amiga is a great example of how this would work.
to take the advantage of having 6 full cores, and trade it in for 8 half-cores...was this some idiotic attempt at market segmentation? Did some moron in a suit have a brain fart, and think "we can't have 12-core Phenom IIIs, it will cannibalize our Opteron server sales"?
No, it has a lot more to do with technological/practical limitations and planning for the future. Two 6 core Phenom IIs, welded together, would use 200-250W. That isn't even close to ok. Nextly, their strategy it to modularize parts of the CPU, so going forward, integrating say, a GPU on die (done already), or maybe a few hundred ARM cores, it will be a no-brainer, because it's "already in the CPU design".
If someone is asserting that you delete anything in the first place, their motive is to cover their ass. If no one is watching, it ends up being your ass in the hospital and a he-said-she-said set of litigation

I'd pay $150 for a wristband that could ONLY tell me accurately how many calories I've burned. That alone is a real (slight pun intended) life saver

It still makes me wonder what HP sees in Itanium that makes them so gung ho about it though
The same thing Apple saw in MIPS

18 ms access time? My SCSI 160 drives deliver a 2ms access time. Why the hell are we content on moving backwards?

You really really want a tickless kernel?
What is wrong with that?
Pointers and linked lists to disk structures
You know what else is bad manners? Starting your sentences with a lower-case letter
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was difficult to do "anything sending this address anything more than 100k in a second -> oblivion". What legitimate client would be doing that?
Doing it at your own router won't work, because legitimate traffic has no room to get through
Call the NOC of your provider and have them block the offending IPs at the router

Using "sexy" as an adjective to attractive technology fell to the wayside in about 1995. I'm guessing 35+ years old and don't get out much

Also, ; is not .
Are the courts too lazy to start ruling on what is and is not fair
Who said life was fair? Who said the law is supposed to be fair? Show me SOMETHING to back it up

Wait until a few months from now, when you find you've got malware from a drive by flash/java vulnerability.
Are you actually trying to use Slashdot to manipulate stock prices for you? *ugh*
In the case that an AC actually responds, I am willing to back myself up. For the effort, however, provide yours first.
