...QUICKBOOKS 2005 and Intuit decided to use its "sundowning" policy a bit differently this time -- it randomly reset the flags on cleared transactions to not yet cleared, unbalancing the key accounts. Oh, no., that was me. Never mind.
The comment I responded to specifically remarked that it ran hotter than the existing Intel chips -- The comment did not indicate specifically that this was intel's Mobile chips. I currently have a notebook with a P4-Mobile in it and it runs too hot. If these new ones run even more hot, then I hold to my statement -- I won't buy it.
At the desktop, the intel chips I have -- P4 HT's at 2.8 and 3.0 ghz, run so hot just doing normal activities its insane. I don't even overclock, I just write multithreaded software. AMD's chips are proving to be -- for the work I do, cooler, less expensive to operate, and at least as fast. I almost am willing to bet that if I were to test they'd have better disk I/O performance but can't say that for sure.
WRT the rest of your idiotic 12 year old wanna-be hacker style drivel, its not worth my time. Hell, even that handle is annoying.
I'm impressed that you can determine my mental capacity so easily and at such a distance. I have not yet purchased a MOBILE chip of either sort (not in a few years anyway) as I've been waiting for this to sort out. I have switched in my purchases on Desktops and am very pleased to have done so. If intel produces the best desktop processors again (and I'm talking about common use, not bleeding edge overpriced ones) then I'll switch back. When AMD or Intel gets someone producing dual core mobile chips with reasonable heat and battery life at reasonable cost -- and in units under 10 pounds with a 15" tablet screen -- I'll by my new laptop. For now, I remain unimpressed.
As for your comment, I'll remind you that keyboarding at a distance is a bit like Tequila. It makes a big man seem seem little, and a little man feel big. I guess I know which that makes you.
Its hard to believe anything outside the orbit of Mercury could run hot when comparied to Intel's other products. WTF? Does this thing actually brand "Intel Inside" directly onto your thighs if you actually hold it on your lap? Are all laptop cases now going to be made out of left over tiles from the Space Shuttle program? Will I need to wear my fire department issued gnomex bunker pants to use this thing? Will they be selling carbon fiber tablecloths as accessories? Will I need to carry a 5 gallon water pack on my back and connect it to cooling ports on the laptop if I want to run a game?
I'd already switched from Intel to AMD based largely on heat and power issues -- this won't help Intel's cause at all.
I can't imagine anything running so hot they'll need a magnetic bottle instead of a processor slot to hold the chip is going to be low-power consuming.

I'm not one of those grey-goo 'the sky is falling' types. I think though, that there's an interesting question that starts to be rasied as we create more complex nano-assembly tools and limited self-assembly nanotechnologies. Viruses are generally considered to be "alive" even though they don't all the classic definitions of life. At its basics, life is just an incredibly complex chemical reaction that is self sustaining through its own random instability. If we can create similarly self sustaining chemical reactions have we not created a similar kind of life? The first place this may happen is when viruses and nano-assemblies start to rival each other for complexity.
From a goals perspective, there are major leaps forward:
* ability to avoid obstacles * ability to see individual people * ability to differentiate between people * ability to discern expressions * ability to read enlarged print * ability to operate visually oriented equipment * ability to read normally * ability to drive
Taking things one step at a time, its a long road but hopefully one that is linear rather than logarythmically difficult.
Last I heard -- several years ago -- they had enough resolution to see a a black/white machine just about comperable to a single ASCII character rendered on a 1985 era CRT. That would mean an "image" would have about as much clarity as, say, one of the falling mushrooms from an original Centipeded game. Not exactly high res, but a positive step.
My "old" Dell Inspiron 8200 can only hold 1gb total, so until replaced that's a bit painful. I've been holding off because I want my next laptop to be a dual core AMD with minimum 2gb, 100gb at 7200rpm SATA-NCQ, and a GOOD 15" screen in a tablet configuration -- from a good manufacturer. It also must be under 9 pounds and no more than 2" thick.
The 40gb that I trashed in Germany (that was the only thing I couldn't salvage) was replaced with another cheap 40gb and a copy of XP/HOME in German from a shopping mall in Munich that afternoon. When I got back, I orderd a 100gb 7500 RPM one that makes a huge performance difference.
There are lots of ways to get good utilization out of a few gigs of VM. I tend to create my VM's on 4gb virtual drives, that way they fit easily on a DVD. 4gb is enough for most operating systems at least. If you need other drives for data, just create a few and attach them, or make a partition on the drive and let the vm have it directly as hardware (which is better for performance, but worse for transportability).
I've been using VMWARE for years now at the workstation. Each client of mine that I support gets a "support vm" dedicated to them with the tools I need for their environment and a network stack that contains their own VPN configuration. That allows me to load a support VM for a client without having to stop what I'm doing on my own network, without having each client's VPN config interfere with the others, and also allows me to take along a DVD for each client so that if I have a problem with my laptop (like when I dumped a 5oz glass of water into mine in Munich 10 minutes into a conference session I was giving) I can quickly get the support vm up and running on almost any available equipment. All my demos and seminar examples are in VM's so that they are transportable. I even keep a default install of win2k, win2k3, win98, winXP, as well as Suse, RH, and Fedora linux as a vm. Any time I need to test something, I instantiate a new copy of whatever OS I need -- and it takes less than 5 minutes.
Well, not pyromaniacs. They probably don't like you at all. Other than that though, yes, everybody loves firefighters;-)
Sadly, that whole "Pyro-arsonist joins the local fire department thing" has happened so many times its a cliche. It's so common that when I joined a volunteer department I had to have a background check. I've heard of two cases in five years within 50 files. Apparently, Pyro's love firefighters too.

Economies change. As barriers to commerce drop, what defines a commodity changes. At one time, skilled factory workers were not at all a commodity. They were in such short supply that we built a school system around the idea of produce more. Now, we have a school system producing factory ready workers when the factory jobs have gone off to economies that are just now where ours was 80 years ago.
Management and high tech (whatever the current version of tech was at the time) were protected from being commoditized to the lowest bidder because they had to be local. Cheap shipping and common currency exchanges allowed factory jobs to go where labor was cheapest. The internet does that for high tech and phone service jobs.
Disney believed that the CGI revolution obviated the need for skilled animators. They may have been wrong. I don't really know. I don't even watch animated things except what my kids have on -- except that half of what I watch now has CGI in it. Still, someone has to draw something at some point I'd imagine.
You keep saying that Disney animators are not a commodity because they are or were so skilled. The proof that you're wrong is that they were let go. Right or wrong, to Disney they were a commodity.
I would imagine the animation business is really in quite a difficult place right now. Nobody is really show just how its going to go. One minute Pixar's computer's are pumping out billion dollar winners, next a few guys with some clay make a fortune over in the UK, meanwhile you're still doing things they way they've been done but you haven't had a really big hit in a while.
