No increment/decrement accumulator instruction. Addressing modes that only worked with the X or Y register.
I'm not saying the Z80 was more orthogonal but the 6502 was a shining beacon. If it appears more orthogonal it's because it only had three registers so there's not much room to build non-orthogonalities into it.
Maybe it's just the the truths being presented in the article are the sort of 'truths' that are hard to measure 100% objectively. Whenever results have a human element there's always the possibility of experimental bias.
Triply so when the phrase "one of the fastest-growing and most profitable pharmaceutical classes" appears in the business plan.
Fortunately for science, the *real* truth usually rears it's head in the end.
OK I admit it was a pretty lame attempt at humor. I figured it might be good for a few karma points here on Slashdot but apparently not...:_(
For the youngsters: The whole point of Microsoft's acquisition of Hotmail was to port it from FreeBSD/Solaris to Windows NT, thus _proving_ to the world that NT was enterprise-ready and capable of running a large website (Hotmail was one of the most heavily loaded websites in the world at the time).
It took them many years to complete and was the butt of many jokes...especially when they kept on announcing it was "finally done" and people would query a Hotmail server only to get a reply from a FreeBSD machine. Eventually they figured out how to block all the querys but there was still plenty of job listings for FreeBSD admins at Hotmail.
They're not searching your "persons, houses, papers, and effects", they're making sure you're in a fit state to operate a large, potentially lethal, machine in a public place, as required by the driving license that you voluntarily applied for.
Would you let bus drivers drive drunk? Airline pilots? I'm betting you'd be all for revoking their licenses if caught.
One rule for them and a different rule for you...?
Maybe they could just not have WiFi in the classrooms. If they don't have MSN facebook tweets popping up the whole time then the laptops would be much less of a distraction.

1.5 million is about what a big ship spends on fuel per journey.
Just get a phalanx system installed. End of problem.
Look on the bright side. If they come to destroy us the USA will be the first to go.
6510 is exactly the same as 6502 from a programmers point of view.

THIS: How will investigating one house prove anything either way? It won't.
"Science: it works, bitches!"
FTFY.
Because Android will fail if consumers see it as slow/unresponsive. Failure is not an option, so minimum number CPU cycles becomes a mandate.
It's not slow in microbenchmarks, sure, but performance in real applications? Not there.
There's a reason there's no desktop apps written in Java ...
What use is a small handheld computer without Internet connection?
I mean, yeah, there'll be a bunch of basement dwellers who can think of something but that's probably not a viable business for anybody.
Java strikes again...
I remember worrying when they started making 16 and 20Mhz CPUs, I thought digital electronics wouldn't be very stable at those sort of clock speeds.
I'm guessing it's because they want to sell them to people.

Good times.
Um, none, but the question was "which part of a DUI test involves them searching the car"?
As far as I know a DUI test only involves you, the driver, blowing into a tube.
Let's try again: Which part of a DUI test would require you to, eg., open the trunk of the car for the officer to take a look inside?
Maybe they finally tried to switch Hotmail over to Windows NT...
Which part of "DUI test" is the same as "searching the car"...?

The summary suggests that the list probably changed while you were writing that...
Maybe they could just not have WiFi in the classrooms. If they don't have MSN facebook tweets popping up the whole time then the laptops would be much less of a distraction.
I'm pretty sure it's not the atheists...
Is the poster arguing we should eliminate the patent system?
They definitely need to raise the bar on what's patentable.
By a couple of orders of magnitude.
The problem isn't the laptop, it's the Facebook and chat. Shut down the WiFi for the duration of the class and the problem goes away.
