In the dual core deathmatch, once again AMD fragged Intel multiple times over.
Not when it came to cruching multiple application simultaniously. Then the Intel chips came out slightly on top. That said AMD was 30% faster on running a single app, and used less power. But the Intel chip was cheaper!
Face it fanboys, a laptop with an AMD chip is a piece of stinking shit.
Except when it comes to FLOPS, cache size, i/o speed....?
That said, anyone who buys a laptop and doesn't play games on it is better off sticking with Intel. There's no better chip when it comes to running the usual suspect win32 apps. But your 3D games will suffer.
in the comming years it will be natural for future slashdotters to be able to handle the complexities of nano and biotech programming of nanotech assemblers and nanosensors and be able to do a lot of "matter" hacking even though there will
No it won't. Replicating nanobots are pure sci-fi, and nano assembly is going to stay industrial for at least the next 100 years. Slashdotters are not going to be able to create a woman out of sand anytime soon.
we should be able to advance nano/bio in the next 10 years to be able to demonstrate age halting/reversal in mice (the M-prize), and then, soon in people.
Halting age is not the problem. Fatuige is. People could easily live until 150 if their body did not slowly succum to acumulated wear and tear. Free radicals will turn your brain to putty long before you ever had a hope of reaching 200.
It may be hard to do, but, remember, they went to the moon in 9 years using slide rules and mainframe 32 bit computers with core memory
That's because it was possible to go to the moon. Most of the stuff you mention is about as feasable as a perpetual motion machine.
How can we expect 10,000-word patent applications and their appendant illustrations to be free from even trivial errors, when a 65-word story can't even use correct grammar or get the subject's name right?
Because a 65 word story cannot hope to achieve anything more than a Slashdotting. A patent can hope to cripple an entire industry.
The EU has been stomping all over us citizens right from the start.
Actually, the EU wasn't so bad up until the turn of the millenium. After that the lobbyists sort of "discovered" the EU, and now we're slipping into a plutocracy.
Your wife will only be subject to sodomization three days a week.
Please note than upon such sodomisation, sodomisation and/or other intimate rights between both yourself and your wife are revoked for a period of 20 years, until such time as expiry of the industry members rights and/or licencing of such rights both on your part and on the part of your wife.
Please not that any intimate relations between yourself and your wife that may have taken place prior to the excercising of such rights by a member of the industry, may be regarded as an infringment of the rights of the holder and may be subject to legal action accordingly.
He just happen to mention to the wrong person who he voted for in when they elected the last governor. After that, all hell broke lose as word got around. The guy wasn't treated the same after that.
Who was the candidate? You can say that right?
You see, if the candidate was someone like JM la Penn, this whole things comes into focus.
How clever. People who agree with you are "open minded and informed". So therefore, people who disagree with you are...?
In denial. While the Bush administration might not be facist, they have done a lot of things that have substantially increased the danger of facism taking hold in the United States.
The danger of, mind you. I doubt the US will be anything other than a democracy fro the next fifty years at least, but things like the obstruction of terrorism act were best to be not around in the event of an economic meltdown. Something which I think we can say is far more likely now that it was six years ago.
In 95% of the schools out there, it is completely and utterly impossible to go through the sociology program as a fiscal and/or moral conservative.
Well in 95% of the schools out there, it's completely and utterly impossible to go through a mathematics program as a functionally innumerate. Go figure.
Conservatives stand for freedom, liberty, individual responsibility, honest prosperity, and peace.
Republicans (and many Democrats, too) stand for the supression of liberties and freedoms
Republicans were once the libertarian party in the US, with a hevy emphasis on "tax free" libertarianism. Then they were subverted by seditious fundamentalists. Now no one is quite sure what the Republican party stands for... except lower taxes.

Being normal is overrated.
Normal is a statistic.
What's he wearing right now, as you spy on him outside his bedroom window?
For you? A green CowboyNeal hat with "+5 Insightful" written on it.... And nothing else.
Now try and sleep at night.

I'm not sure. I think that was part of the lame ass Crystalline Entity saga.

If you're just communicating with other parts of your app instead of 3rd-party components, why use XML?
Because XMLhttprequest.open returns a DOM tree object. There's no other reason really.
You didn't expect a serious response to such a thing, I hope...
Given the history of past responses, I can safely say that; No. I did not expect a serious response to the grandparent comment.
Perhaps you mean the Patriot Act? If so, how does that increase the likelihood of fascism,
I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that would provoke such a question.

Whoooossshhh!
Such as...?
Ummm... The obstruction of terrorism act?
I think you have the wrong guys.
I wouldn't be so sure about that if I was you.
OK, on reading TFA, this is not tech, science, internet or geek related, except in the remotest sense.
God danm you ScuttleMonkey.

Just don't express your disagreement, is that it?
Well, just don't express it by offering bounties for a level of surveillance the government can't legally obtain.

Ward Churchill is NOT a nutjob professor. His writing and teaching is widely respected.
But perhaps his methods are...unsound.

You think that *academia* is excessively seniority-based rather than merit-based?
Hey man! It take a looonnng time to get good at golf. OK?
I work in an academic enviornment, but I don't really understand tenure either.
Long term contracts I do understand. But as I understand it, tenure is something a little more subtle. Or not so subtle.
I think tenure applies more to arts and humanities faculty than to science and engineering faculty. I think.

When these guys get violent, the comparison will be a bit more apt, I think.
I would think they've become pretty violent already.
