The Oracle DB running on (now) Oracle hardware, is the fastest DB on the planet, by orders of 1 or 2 magnitudes over any F/OSS DB. Only other old behemoths like DB2 or sybase come close to it.
I guess you are only comparing mini DBs running on a PC.
One is that, since businesses no longer pay corporate taxes, their costs to manufacture things in the USA goes down fairly dramatically. That is nonsense. The taxes you pay on your earnings/income have nothing to do with the cost of production. If you want to say: workers are cheaper because a corporation has not to pay the "extra part" the worker will pay as tax, then you have a point. But I don't see how you would have a country where the state has a tax income and can pay things with that income.
Your summary sounds as if you want to replace taxes on earnings with VAT... could make sense. Most certainly it would simplify tax filings and put many tax accountants out of business:)
Sorry, SIMD is obviously not RICS, and obviously a SIMD instruction needs more time than a single scalar instruction. That has nothing to do with RISC versus CISC. All modern microcomputer CPUs except Intel x86 are RISC CPUs, there is no single CISC left. And x86 is internal RISC, they translate the incoming CISC instructions into RISC instructions before executing. Yes, 'one' idea behind RISC was that an instruction can be executed in one cycle, but obviously that never was true, you can not do a multiply or divide in one cycle... But you can have SIMD/vector pipelines that eat two or three operands per cycle and spit out one result (or two) per cycle: and that has nothing to do with CISCC versus RISC. Read a book about it, that helps.
No, my point is: everything is radioactive. Milk contains potassium, too, so does meet. Singling out Bananas makes no sense. As long as they don't impose a health risk, they are not considered radioactive, even if they cause some random noise in a geiger counter.
It is a typo you insensitive clod... obviously it meant 1980, anyway the real computers like Suns, DEC etc. where sold with source code for everything minimum till 1995. (That is not a typo).
You never heard about other architectures then... Just because did not call it 'protected mode' does not mean they did not have it... Why would Linus build a Linux/Unix for x286 when the next best computer he could buy was an x386?
Xenix and many other unix like OSes did run on 80286. The big difference between 80286 and 80386 is the MMU, not 'protected mode'.
Acorn RISC Machine (singular) was the name of an architecture. It was developed by Acorn Computers Ltd. That is actually what I was talking about, so I'm not wrong.
Apple joined with Advanced RISC Machines and had nothing to do with development of the original ARM... go figure.
Ah, I found the CAP reference. Care to explain how it restricts or encourages trade of food or technology between EU member states? The parent specifically talked about agriculture products from France and industrial goods from Germany....
If you develop software in a Mac or a windows PC that is intended to run under linux, you most likely want a VM running linux to test it. On the other hand much of testing in our days is automated having one or several VMs dedicated to building and testing software is often very useful. Being able to have a VM running Windows 3.11 or Windows 95 might be interesting for old games, Or if you one of the guys who has some custom made office software, where the vendor went out of business 1992, but you still manage your customers with (I know a guy who has a construction office, and only gets like 2 or 3 new customers per year, running his office on 25 year old windows software)
The head of the EU... depends what you mean with that. The president is elected by the parliament, obviously. Right now it is Jean-Claude Junker from Luxembourg. You would cause some stirr up if you would call them German. Head of the EU is more likely the Precedency of the European Council, which is not elected but rotates every three months to another EU member state right now it is Bulgaria, the second half of the year it will be Austria. Again it will cause some upstir if you insist to ccall them German...
Germany has no important role in the EU at the moment... except that we have the European Central Bank in Germany and the European Energy spot market.
Most developers who run VMs on Macs run linux in the VM. On the other hand, both Windows and Linux run on ARMs. I would assume if Apple switches to ARM we soon see virtual machine vendors supporting ARM hosts. I don't think there will be a big change if Apple changes the architecture.
I for my part only care for Java anyway... I don't develop natively for Macs.
No, no one nearly has. Most people don't have a random "lets go eating and fuck later" habit. As soon as you have regularily sex with one it is your BF/GF and not one "you date".
Well, if you insist on nitpicking, here is a funny read: https://www.dedoimedo.com/phys... Bananas are not more radioactive than "most things". We usually say "something is radioactive" when the level is concerning. If you only want to nitpick about potassium, you are right.
Just because a "graphic (card) driver" is called a driver, it does not mean it is part of the OS, nor is it technically a driver. There is no "interrupt" or ring barrier when you call a DirectX routine. Why would that be the case?
While some OSes put drivers into user land, most don't.
So I repeat it again: thee is no "linux server OS" versus a "linux desktop OS"... they are both the exact same OS. There is no longer a "Mac OS server OS" versus a "Mac OS Desktop OS", and there never where any differences between server and client/workstation in any of the majour Unix brands.
Your idea is simply wrong. Regardless how much OS programming experience you claim.
If you knew more about it, you perhaps had mentioned Amiga OS and BeOS as "desktop/client" OSes... but coming up with a link for a 386 processor made you look like a complete fail:D
Yes I'm serious. The EU GPD is: $17.1 trillion (nominal; 2017) $20.9 trillion (PPP; 2017). However you got me surprised that it is meanwhile indeed so much.

Apple is not affected by the CPP ...
The Clean Power Plan (or CPP) was finalized by the Obama administration, and it takes aim at power plants
That does not add up.
How many voters do you have in the US?
How many are coal miners or in any way related to the coal industry?
Twitter is a web site.
It is displayed by the browsers I use on macOS/OS X just fine.

Nope ... and google shows nothing related to EU trade with 'CAP' in the name.

I read most of your posts, but no idea what FairTax would be.
To host an other OS, obviously.
You are not a pro?
Care to point some out?
Actually *all* modern architectures are RISC ... CISC no longer exists, except as "compatibly mode" for x86.
Most developers who run VMs on Macs run linux in the VM.
On the other hand, both Windows and Linux run on ARMs.
I would assume if Apple switches to ARM we soon see virtual machine vendors supporting ARM hosts.
I don't think there will be a big change if Apple changes the architecture.

Well, ... or was the company still simply called Acorn then?
