What happened to that good old technique I like to call "turning your computer off when not in use" (TM)? It surprising has some side benefits, like lowering your energy bill!!!
All the functions get together at a party, and they're all playing around. The cosines trying to get into the sines' pants, all the polynomials drinking and chatting, and someone sees the exponential alone in its corner, talking to nobody: - Hey, buddy, come here! Integrate yourself! - Why? What for?
Thanks everybody, you've been great! I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the waiters!
Although we all understand what the issue is here, reading only the title we could get a wrong impression on what the question is. A hypothetical measure of price/performance (which in English reads price divided by performance) would output a higher number for an expensive CPU than a cheap one, provided both have equal performance. Similarly, given an equal price, the worse CPU would score higher.
That's it. I just thought someone ought to point out the obvious. Once again.
If you want Linux compatibility, you want nVidia. Yes, nVidia's drivers are closed-source, but they're at the same level as their Windows drivers, right down to the overclocking controls.
You're right, and the reason is that they have the same source tree for all their drivers. Or in other words, they have just one single, huge driver that fits all. And it fits them well, too.
I agree that haunted meat tastes generally way better, and it's healthier than cattle. If it's a weak wild animal, nature will kill it before you can, but if it's an unhealthy cow in a pen, the owner will try to sell it while he/she can to cut the loss. And don't even get me started with industrial sausages, hot dogs, burgers and the so... My uncle owns a few hundred goats and sheep, and he wouldn't try any of the above if they're the last source of protein on Earth. Me either.
You're assuming Red Hat is the fundamental player of the free software world. It is not. There's not such a thing, and that's why free software is here to stay: No one owns it. No one can frigging own it. If tomorrow Red Hat disappears, there's a dozen companies with the same potential that will fill the gap. They just have less US market share at the moment, but that means nothing.
That reminds me of the infamous Mitshubishi Pajero, which in Spain means something like "jerker", or "masturbator". They quickly changed it to Mitshubishi Montero, but the damage was done for the incautious early buyers:).
Well, I was there last April for the first time in my life, and I was amused watching a bunch of men wearing full black with snipers walking around the rooftop. Pretty Hollywood-alike.
Talking of celebration gifts, I prefer Yahoo's idea of offering registered members a free Baskin-Robbins icecream last March. It was a nice occasion for everyone in my lab to bike over and take a break from... er... working.
I think that's a correct behavior, since they don't try to trick people into using something that they know might (and will) fail. We're much too used to buggy software that bombs in our hands, and this seems unusual. But that's not Google's fault.

The fact that the parent has been modded funny is a deeply sad statement about the general conception of MS security. And yet so hilarious.

This is the real and only reason why Linux will remain GPL2. Unless, of course, someone rewrites it all.
Yeah... I had a suspicion when, after a few hours, nobody modded me funny ;).
Nothing to add to your comment, but isn't it beautiful how you spelled "spelt"?
Oh, wait, another Stardust... Bummer.

No. Next question, please.
How do you get those numbers?
Congratulations, you made 2.29165 soccer fields!
Not a whole movie, but I'd be up for some 25 minutes of my favorite Family Guy episode, conveniently formatted, that is.
You know you're a slashdotter when you can call a dupe!
With each implementation of AJAXish websites using a different interface and homegrown scripts, I don't see that coming in the near future.
That's it. I just thought someone ought to point out the obvious. Once again.
They should have Michael Moore publicise it.
Welcome on board. There's room at the end.
He prefers calling them his genetic back-ups.

And one of them is mine, yay! :). One summer without ramen noodle overdose is going to be strange...
