I see, so if you have 3 kids, a wife, and two cats, you would risk turning them into paupers because, with no fault of your own, your genetics destined you for cancer or any other wonderful designer diseases they have these days.
And the point is that this is about servers, it doesn't matter if there are more ARM chips selling....you wouldn't compare a smart phone SoC with a server chip.
I've heard arguments on both sides about server stats for ARM vs. Intel servers. Personally, I hope Intel gets kicked in the teeth, but I have yet to see a knock down argument that ARM has what it takes to beat them. There will probably be applications for both were each excels.
Making comparisons now is also somewhat pointless. What's more important are the trajectories of both architectures, and Intel could also try to pull another Itanic, only be successful this time. At that point, attempting to plot trajectories now is pointless because a new Intel architecture is an entirely different trajectory.
It's too bad a young and fit Muhammed Ali couldn't meet Lil Kim in a 15 bout match.
"In this corner, we have the Korean Dumpling King, Lil Kim. In this corner, we have a rather agitated Ali (Ali makes a face and mouths the words "I'm going to kill you" which Lil Kim misinterprets as "You forgot to wear your panties and bra." )
After round 1, Lil-Kim is flat on his back out cold, seems Ali hit him with a right blow that could stop a tank.
Alien technology? Do you mean Viagra? That would explain all that genital probing the aliens do when they catch one of us awares...sneaky little devils.
They were a Kleptocracy in Soviet times as well, the only thing that functioned was the State. And they also had the vaunted Soviet Bureaucracy to run the joint. Their bean counters were really that, every time something left the factory, they could count 1. It didn't matter to them whether anyone actually needed the widget. So they produced a lot of stuff that was unneeded, or needed but couldn't get to where it was needed. The best thing the Soviets could have done was build a modern expressway system, but their bean counters had no way to value it, they tend not to come in discrete units. Come to think of it, the Libertarians in the U.S. have no use for a federally funded road system either, maybe they are really Soviets in their black little Rand hearts.
So let's all hail Putin whose fervent hope is to put the Soviet model back in command again. If they didn't have nukes or chem or bio weapons, Putin wouldn't be able to get the time of day from any world leader...much less his Soviet watch.
The neatest thing Schwarzkopf pulled was something akin to what the Allies pulled on Germany before D-Day. They set up George S. Patton with a fake army across the straits from Calais. The Germans were known to have a fair amount of respect for Patton and fell for it. Schwarzkopf knew the Iraqis had respect for the Marines and their amphibious capability. So he made the Iraqis think the Marines were going to go charging up the beach at Kuwait. Tied up quite a number of Iraqi troops awaiting for the grand invasion which the Marines obliged by not invading that way.
I don't know about the F22 or F35, but the U.S. Air Force routinely announces the mothballing of the A-10...they just did again, dunno if they'll get away with it. The USAF doesn't really want to be used in support of ground missions. The A-10 is only a ground mission support aircraft, and a damn fine one at that. It is cheap to build (right side and left side parts are mostly interchangeable). The Pentagon should take the A-10 and shove it up the Air Force Generals' tail pipes, and make them support it.
Well, regardless of whether the climate is changing or whether humans have anything to do with it, consider CO2 and the acidifying oceans because of it. Man pumped up the extra CO2 over a very short time frame, short enough where species will have a hell of a time coping. Don't forget that one of the bases of the food chain is the ocean.
Acidifying oceans as a result of man-pumped CO2 in a short time frame is enough reason to stop it.
This is closely connected to the annuity based economy. Every company and its brother's dog wants a straw into your wallet that sips a bit every month. It started with "registering" your appliance. Then it progressed to yearly maintenance agreements so you could pay them for stuff that should have worked correctly out of the box but mysteriously doesn't, think of it as paying for them laying off their quality control department. It's not gotten so bad that I purchased a dimmer switch from one of the home remodeling centers, you may know them as what we saber-toothed called "hardware stores" back in the day, and the home center wanted to sell me a maintenance agreement for $10...on a $20 item.
Up next, with the rise of "consumers" shopping brick and mortar stores for a price and then going on line to get it, we'll soon be charged for merely walking into the stores to finger the merchandise (say that last in Bugs Bunny's Bronx-Brooklyn accent), and we will have acquiesced to another iniquity, albeit one which we helped to promote.
Hey, leave philosophy out of this. Clearly you have never taken a philosophy class. The philosophy classes you are remembering passed with Enlightenment. I didn't realize you were that old. You do recall the Enlightenment, yes?
Surely this is something we'd like to avoid in Texas....I suppose...maybe it isn't too late to ask Mexico to take Texas back.
"Hey, Senor, have we got a deal for you!!! How about a lot of new land, clueless peasants, some oil, and a taste for Mexican food. Get it now while its cheap!"
Part of the blame for the current focus on unis asking for patent money is that is how research is increasingly funded. Who is funding basic research anymore? Even the Federal Government has fell victim to the MBA Pighead Payground where every thing must be costed and an immediate return on investment is required...which is convenient for the MBA Pigs, they only feed at the trough, they are not tasked with filling the trough.
And the sainted American public is also to blame. They seem to revel in a culture of "I'm too stupid to learn all that weird math and science, where's my TV remote." The critters in Congress are only reflecting their constituents now. Instead of reaching for a better America years away, they only concern themselves with the next election, that is their ROI for the campaign money they've raised. They've become interchangeable widgets in the MBA Pighead Payground.
What you are missing is the research the scientists do at a university keeps the university's course work up to date and cutting edge. That translates into better prepared students. If universities are not leading research, the government and companies cannot (in the former) and will not (in the latter) do anything to keep the universities current. Hell, right now companies cannot even be arsed to train anyone, they want a ready-made widget masquerading as a person they can immediate fit into their profit structure and whack whenever that profit structure moves in a different direction.
It isn't that I do not feel taxpayer funded research doesn't require taxpayer funded payback, but I do think a more rigorous accounting of the benefits and costs is eluding this conversation to date.
I don't think it makes sense to talk about ROI when comparing NASA and NiH. The GP had it correct, how do you balance lives saved over space exploration. It is comparing apples and oranges. One might choose one or the other based on other criteria, but there's no way the units on ROI between NASA and NiH match. Think of it in terms of data types, you couldn't compare an integer and a character unless you coerced one to the other, and you would only do that if one was masquerading as the other.
Not really, nukes are cheap, and an armada of these weapons would be cheap as well. The expensive part of the U.S. military is the personnel. Large companies cannot exist on DoD dime, they are too big. The smaller ones won't be developing these kinds of weapons. The U.S. military structure passed you by about 30 years ago.
Correction, the Chinese Communist Party, after sitting out WWII and letting Chiang Kai-Shek and his army do the fighting, is using WWII for nationalist fervor because the Party has no good reason to exist and the Party members know it....unless you count living like a leach on the Chinese people and funneling profits for state-owned companies into their pockets and accepting any and all graft in support of their continual protection rackets.
Hmmm....when did the Taliban or Saddam take out any U.S. aircraft carriers? Someone is not forwarding me the memos and I'm getting fairly pissed about it.
Yep, that's right, all health insurance problems began with the ACA, nothing preceding it could possibly have any influence because that would contradict your partial narrative.
For all you know the cops were told the kid was breaking into their systems, not that he discovered a security vulnerability. And from their point of view, they see someone attempting to break into their systems, not that he was some shining white knight attempting to help them to better security. Once the cops sorted it out, they seem to have let the little wiggler go.

Could rent out some of Al Qaeda's suicidal nutjobs, and we'd have a handy way to get rid of air craft we don't want any longer.
So, you are saying we should get the Chinese and Russians stuck on the F-22...mwahahahahaha...Air Superiority will be OURS!!
Alien technology? Do you mean Viagra? That would explain all that genital probing the aliens do when they catch one of us awares...sneaky little devils.

yeah, you are right, Saddam and the Taliban Air Forces gave the U.S. planes a run for their money.

Give the poster a break; he heard the term "walled garden" with respect to Apple and knows he hates Apple, so repeating it make him feel good.
