Dual core socket 939. How the hell is that different from a socket 940, Opteron 2xx?
Sure, 512meg L2 cache. Ok. Opterons ship with 1meg.
Amd-8000 (specifically, the AMD-8151 AGP "bridge) chipset incompatibility with the Ati Radeons. Ok. The socket 939's will have something else.
What is the point in having two different processors trying to do the exact same thing? Hello chuck socket 939, and put 940's in there. Then get rid of PCI-X, and stuff PCI-E in there.
AMD needs to offer two different procesors (Opterons and Semprons), and a single socket design. They are foolish to tool different plants for 100's of different things, when their chip yields are so low. Marketing "strategy" or no, they need to be churning out as many workable processors as they can, and let the overclockers figure out what's the best buy.
That is what has put them where they are today. That's the way they can "fight" Intel and win. That's what is going to pull in assloads of investors, splitting their stock, and running up revenue on the quarterly.
Put the marketing division on a paid holiday in Iraq, and let the engineers do their jobs.
There's more than one side to it. I think the pr0n industry should dabble in a tiny little bit of Blu-Ray, and here's why:
The "gonzo" genre is the largest segment of pr0n made these days. Gonzo is when the camera man is holding a little 2M pixel camcorder about 12 inches away from the "action". If anyone's ever watched the "behind the scenes" clips, the camera man is always conscious of the total amount of time he has on the video. So, if you move to high definition, you are going to have to have the technology to capture it at 1600x1200 or whatever you want, and you're going to have to be able to capture and store that video feed.
There's a few movies, like Aurora Snow's "Wicca", where they go with special effects and actual production sets, instead of an empty distribution warehouse and a $14 Walmart mat on the floor. But like I said, most are the point-of-view. Those are the easiest to make, since you just sign up a "fresh young teen" and yell action. No script writer. No plots or CGI or anything else that slows down production time.
They can go standard definition and put "compilations" onto Blu-Ray, which will sell very well. Mpeg4, 25gig per layer; Christ, that would be 20 hours of 720x480 pr0n per dual-layer disk!
And they could put out a few high-definition disks, with the few movies they do that are production set material.
Though LSM can be disabled in the vanilla kernel to allow the system to work functionally as it did in 2.4, all linux distributions will most likely be enabling it in their kernels. The mere existence of a security framework is not going to urge more users to use Trusted OS components in their kernels.
I was just cruising down through the article, until I came across this one.
rather than BPL. BPL will cause all kinds of interference, at the frequencies it operates, with a lot of other things. Namely, shorwave radios, but your RC cars and CB radios as well. With directional microwave dishes on the ground and omni's on the blimp, the interference will be much less.
And it frees up the power companies, because Christ knows they have a tough enough time just providing power.
What part of SIM-U-LATION is not understood, here? Spyware, adware, virui, BSOD's, Windows. The game is designed to be a simulation, and functions as a proper simulation.
Who needs Bugs Bunny and Foghorn Leghorn? ---------
The Windows ecosystem provides variety.
So Media Center PC and Xbox become totally complementary.
So no big problem; it's not that people have stopped using IE, it's just we've got lots of good ideas that can match and move ahead.
Well, no one invests more in security of their browser than what we do on IE.
So most of the results people get back today are irrelevant results. Deep analysis can take us much further, and that's why we're investing a lot, and you'll see us more very rapidly.
When people want to manage a project with many companies involved--keeping data confidential, tracking and knowing what's going on--that's very crummy today compared to what it can be.
People don't want to read about little Johnny making it to school, safely. They want to read about the overturned bus and the raging gasoline tanker fire, and the collapsed bridge, and the terrorist bombing.
Hello? This is the media. Just like Max Headroom, but with rendered animation instead of that hand drawn stuff.
Just how long Palladium will last. This is the exact same idea, with the player booting into a known state. The only problem is the level of motivation, on a world-wide scale, that is available to address this game.
This goes back to part of Bush's "everyone must have broadband" agenda. The ability for your refridgerator, toaster, oven, microwave, deep freezer, and optical disk player to phone-home whenever they fancy.
You are correct if you say people have other things they want to be doing and they'll just buy a new player every six months. For the first six months, you are absolutely correct. The next six months, you'll be mostly correct.
One or two tie ins are nice. But when the entire movie is a tie in, it tells me you're afraid to hang your ass out on the line (like you did with the first trilogy) and take the risk. Either that, or the technology isn't holding back your "original" vision, and we're seeing just what kind of crap that original trilogy could have been had you waited until now to make it.
Sounds like you've had kids, Georgie, and you're trying to be a good grandpa. This isn't the series you're trying to fumble though. You can go back to your business of leeching royalties on that ranch of yours.
I have a Liteon 2001 DVD player. When it first came out, Divx had all kinds of problems on it. It did well just a play a movie; fast-forwarding and rewinding were luxuries.
Luxuries saved for Xvid. Xvid has always played absolutely perfect on it. I can FFW and FRW like it was an ordinary MPEG2, I can seek to a time and the pause is very small. It reads DVDRW's like they were mastered DVD's. It plays Vorbis and can handle WMV, as well nested directory structures.
I did my own little comparison here, just recently. I tried using low bitrates with Divx 5.2.1, and low bitrates with both Nic's and Koepi's Xvid binaries. Xvid utterly won out, not to mention that the Divx encoder would hang when I selected options that it deemed "fucking insane".
I choose Xvid because it works for me, all the time, with whatever I throw, at or in, with it. It works with bare minimal effort on my part. I don't have to use the "right" encoding program, I don't have to choose the "right" resolution and quanitizer matrix, I don't have to have to keep high bitrates.
This thing has a Geforce 5600 in it, and it downloads the game as you play it. It will completely bomb at release, and the only guy that will end up winning is the "CEO". He's made something like $10 million off the investors.
This thing will tank like those Divx players at Circuit City tanked. You could give one as a birthday present, and the receipent would act the same as if you had sqat down and pinched a loaf in the box and wrapped that.
This is what is so awesome about marketing. Investor beware.
I see another article by Microsoft, on the topic of Linux, and I don't even want to bother with reading it before I say something. But lo and behold, for some reason I decide I have to "gather data to formulate a respectable opinion", and so I scan through it.
It's exactly what I was expecting. But I've just shaved 3 minutes off my life, which could have been better spent masturbating to donkey pr0n. Total Cost of Pwnership, Support, Interoperability, Get The Facts. It's time to come up with something new, Microsoft; this old stuff is just boring.
Tell you what. Put some of those satellite-blimps up over Redmond and startup a new ISP, that only works with Windows. You're likely to get some results with that strategy.
The only downside is the tolerances allowed on the disk. It will take an entirely different kind of plastic coating, on both sides, to keep the data retrievable. It's likely to take special caddies at first, until they get the laser receivers sensitive enough to be able to focus through a scratch.
This means the fucking movie companies would be likely to actually be able to "license" out the movie. Flimsy media == Oodles of Revenue.
I'd rather just keep it simple. Two layers is more than enough. This is absolutely wonderful technology, even with just a single layer (25GB). Three BR layers (75GB) would be very useful to computer users, but it would take writing speeds of 50meg/sec to make it tangible.
Because it's spot on correct. Things you do on one side of the planet most certainly affect the other side. In this case, they can capture the data but it takes so long to do something with it that it's worthless.
Addressing this problem the "easy way" isn't going to work. We are going to have to look at our society and the economic structure of our entire country.
It's going to take more effort than the usual pork-barrel spending...
Some big ass 200mm wafer for a processor. Like, they trim the crust off, slap a heat spreader on it, and send it to the mainboard manufacturer.
That would be, like, totally awesome. You could play Doom3 and Half Life 2 at high quality.
However, you could also convert the screener of "Doom" into xvid/mp3 within a few minutes. Which means it's available faster, which means there will be more niave bastards downloading the thing. Which means more psychiatric evaulations, and more medicine.

That writer's guild strike must be hitting them harder than I thought.
What if they, like, didn't use someone in the guild? I mean, what if they just read a script and decided for themselves if it was good or bad.

Linux does not have an "End User" philosophy. Just so's you know.

An ingrown hair is acute. It will eventually pass. Genetal Herpes simplex-B, on the other penis, is chronic. It's going to be there for awhile.
Windows has been barfing, for awhile. I suspect colorectal cancer.
