Unlikely. If it's sitting on a plain jane PCi bus, the max throughput is only 133 MB/s (32 bits * 33 MHz). And the latency is likely 10 to 100 times higher.
I've already found the solution to this. Just patch Java to avoid the Pentium FDIV bug! I mean, those Java people are still using Pentiums, right? They claim Java is fast, so it must be the CPUs! Why else would the bug be around for so long?
And in other ways, FOSS and democracy are opposites. The biggest aspect that pops into mind is force: nobody is forced to use FOSS against their wishes. FOSS is almost always compatible with proprietary implementations (that is, a proprietary implementation can re-implement whatever FOSS does). With democracy, there is always the tyranny of the majority: if 50% + 1 want something, everyone must go along by force. That strikes me much more like proprietary software than FOSS, where a single implementation is the only implementation (such as needing perfect MS Office compatibility).
FOSS is much more like liberty or anarchy than democracy. No one forces you to use FOSS, but you are free to do so.
What about Nouriel Roubini? He's an economist, which is even less sexy than a computer geek these days. Yet he's a renowned playboy.
Assange is a rebel, and women love a rebel, especially in bed. Anyone with an inkling of computer savvy knows the dangerous line he walks, and chicks dig it.
Why would anyone care about the Nobel Peace Prize? It's worthless.They gave it to Obama, before he even did anything, who has gone on to escalate wars, both military and economic.
Frankly, I would turn down such a prize. It no longer stands for anything.
No. Often the money is only made by the advertiser when there's a click (unless it's some brand awareness campaign), but most places still charge for the space on a CPM basis. So when you block ads, the publisher loses more than the advertiser.
I tried running Linux on a 386SX back in 99 and it was beyond painful. I think a 486 would give a similar experience today, and show case the virtues of a text editor that doesn't include an operating system ahah.
I have to agree with this. People would sometimes complain about Telus out west, but they're nothing compared to Bell/Rogers. In fact, while I loathe to deal with either Bell or Rogers here in Ontario, I've been a happy Telus cell customer for nearly seven years now. Telus customer service usually tries to help you. Bell/Rogers idea of customer service is to offer to use lube while they ream your backside.
The middle class is shrinking because of high taxes and the inflation tax. Get rid of income, capital gains, dividend, and death taxes, get rid of the central bank monopoly on currency, and watch prosperity return.
I use it. OpenOffice is a pig, its UI is an eyesore, its mouse cursors are weird, etc. The only thing OO is better at (for me) than KO is support for Microsoft formats.
I disagree with your take. Programmers are far more important. And it's very easy to show: the price of a programmer versus the price of an idea. Ideas are a dime a dozen, as the saying goes. Every person I've met has had a great idea. Programmers cost a lot of money. The difference between the ideas that remain only thoughts and the ideas that become reality is entirely in execution. Without execution, ideas are practically worthless. A fantastic idea can overcome shoddy implementation, and be worth a fortune. A fantastic idea with no implementation is worth nil. A programmer is absolutely critical. But having a good programmer is not.
It is true that the people who know how always work for the people who know why. This might lead one to think that the idea is more important than the implementation, but that's a result of something entirely different: those who don't know why (or why not) quickly lose all their capital. In either case, the person with the idea and money requires the implementers.
All that being said, what is more important than either the idea or the implementers is the person who knows why an idea is good or not. These are the people who best manage the scarce resource of programmers. Of course, all the roles may be embodied in the same person.

So if SOHO says Sol has holes, we're SOL?
Or fix the mess by not having sales taxes in the first place. And reduce government sufficiently to not need them.

What I'm curious about, is can you combine eight of them together to form a Tactical Fusion Cube?
They're hardly better: Iraq in the first place.

Hard disk? Boy, what if it crashes? Have you thought of that? I keep everything on three separate floppies! Those new 5.25" disks are super compact!
And here I thought it was the beer and donuts causing me to gain weight!
hello world
Shouldn't that be rounded up to 3.1415927?

I see you also listen to the Peter Schiff show. He's a great guy.
He's too old? Is it time to start writing his eulergy?

Be sure to give them all 486's, too, so they can experience the full joy of Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping or being Very Intuitive.
Because, as we know, everything is better with naked girls in cages!

So it goes really fast, but the article left out the answer to the quintessential question: does it turn left?

Ouch, that one stung.
