Techies all know that these two CPUs are the same, right? They're wrong.
It's true that the Athlon MP and XP are built as identical cores at the fab. In fact, you can tweak your L5 bridges on your Athlon XP to enable support for dual processors. Nonetheless, this still doesn't mean they're the same thing. Have you ever wondered why the Athlon MP lags behind the Athlon XP in megahertz? The flagship Athlon MP is only at 2800+ while Athlon XP is at 3200+...
Athlon MP's are binned Athlon XP's. No two CPU cores fabricated are absolutely identical, and the Athlon MP represent AMD's best product. The goal for the MP line of chips is to have lower temperatures for the same megahertz. This makes their clock ramp-up fall behind the Athlon XP line. Stability is the obvious benefit, however recall also that rackmount servers don't have the same exotic cooling solutions that your desktop may have. Binning is one way AMD ensures a superior product for multi-processor systems. The other way AMD ensures the MP lineup is reliable is that the first Athlon MP 2800+ is going to have a later CPU stepping than the first Athlon XP 3200+.
And they can't see your code under *GPL? You're delusional. You wouldn't know if they took 200 lines and slapped it into some product. If you think this doesn't happen just cuz its under your blind GPL you're a fool.
With their pie-in-the-sky beliefs. Lets go give some Laotians Internet access! Nevermind the fact that there is no health care, no sanitation system, little education, diseases and very little food. Grow up.
When all of these laws are being passed: DMCA, that evil "Hate Crime" thing in the EU, etc. And yet you liberals still give up guns thinking they are evil. Don't you realize that when the shit hits the fan they are meant for the citizens to violently overthrow said government? We need more Timothy McVeighs.
Call it CHRISTMAS for Christ's sake! Chanukkah is over and Ramadan is long over. Cut the politically correct crap and just say Christmas! You're probably offending more people by abstaining from saying Christmas than you would by saying it anyways.
Darwin uses a monolithic kernel based on FreeBSD 4.4 and the OSF/mk Mach 3, combining BSD's POSIX support with the fine-grained multithreading and real-time performance of Mach.
Yeah, go back to reading your communist manifesto. You seem to think that every rich person is inherently evil. Gee, I bet you're in favor of putting up all those cameras in "public places" too huh?
And you wonder why people get mad at the Eco-Nazi's? Just flying around turning people into the government for breaking their leftist laws. Gee, As long as the eye-in-sky uses technology to violate my privacy its a good thing.
The UCB was THE greatest show of all time! They used to put them on at like Saturday morning at 1:30 a.m. but then they finally removed it. People haved all the episodes on VHS and VCD available on ebay. The UCB has tried to make a DVD available but friggin CC wants no part of it. I hate Comedy Central. Now Kids in the Hall isn't on at 2 anymore and they cancelled Strangers with Candy. The Man Show has its moments but it has run its course. Win Ben Stein's money is the same, its dead after this season, Southpark needs to be put down. They are donkey raping shit eaters.
Shouldn't be too hard. Walk up to your PBX, open it up, you should see lots of cards. A few on the lower shelf might be labeled something like TMDN64, TIE, you get the picture. Pull them out one by one to see which one might have the span in question.
It doesn't EMULATE anything: 1) Most "Linux software" isn't "Linux software" but "Unix software" and compiles and runs on FreeBSD just fine. 2) FreeBSD has Linux BINARY support, so if the source isn't available (StarOffice, VMWare, etc) you can still run your choice of programs. It doesn't do this via "emulation" but by translating Linux syscalls into FreeBSD syscalls where everything is executed natively. 3) It would be _more_ accurate to say that FreeBSD emulates Linux as opposed to "emulating Linux software", but it's still wrong (See #2.)
It was first introduced when that dirty astronaut, Steve Birchwood, went to France. It was an electric bottom washer. It was a lot like a normal bottom washer except it burned it off. Upright Citizens Brigade
Uhm excuse me? Solaris is cheap. Media Kits for SPARC cost a mere $75 and only $45 for Intel. Don't bother yourself to the Alpha line since Compaq committed alphacide. If you want to learn a real UNIX platform at least get a SparcStation 5 at 170mhz but if you have some money then a Dual Ultra 2 is yummy.
...from the country that supported Pinochet, the IRA, Contra rebels etc etc. The country of the McCarthy Witch Hunt. The country of DMCA.
Now imagine if we hadn't supported Pinochet? South America would have fallen to the Soviets, a country who murdered ten times the amount the Nazis killed. Once the Soviets had overrun South America where would your precious rain forest be now? It wouldn't be in existance. It would've been torn down for nuclear missile siloes and death camps. Just remember that next time you support those idiots who protest using communist flags. And just because the DMCA passed in the US, I bet 96% of the population even knows what it is. It's all because of our Govertainment system. The media is in bed with the government.
In the UK if a policeman pulls me over I do not have to be carrying my driving license, or any other identification, I do not have to give my identity. Sure he can then take me into custody on suspicion... but it is not a crime to not say who you are. Do you have the same freedom ?
Oh wait, I can't be taken into custody on something as flimsy as suspicion just because I was pulled over.
In other countries people fight for freedom, the US clings to the 1st ammendment as if it solves the need to fight.
No, they roll-over really quickly and have the US save them. The story of the last 60 years. Where would you be if we hadn't been there to fight off the Nazis? Or the Soviets? You should be so lucky you can spout off such conformist rebel anti-US bigotry but you fail to think what would happen to you if you even uttered anything anti-Communist or Nazi if they had won?
I've noticed a recent trend towards trashing FreeBSD's SMP because of "the giant spinlock." What people don't realize is that one large spinlock can be a viable method of locking for the purposes of threading (that is, multiprocessing). It would seem that someone who has a moderate clue about threading and writing SMP-capable operating systems has commented on this, and feels it's bogus, and one or more of the general breed of "BSD is ubersux" trolls has gotten a hold of this and thinks it's the ultimate death knell for FreeBSD/smp. Obviously, you don't really know much about locking at all. It should at least be pointed out that no matter how many locks you have, it is more important to keep the system OUT of a locked state as much as possible, and FreeBSD does this well enough. It's not as if the system is constantly locked and able to use only one CPU. Most processing occurs in userland, far away from kernel locks, so it doesn't tend to matter all that much. Now, granted, using one spinlock isn't necessarily the best way to do things, at least not in an OS. However, it's not the worst either. Combined with the fact that it allowed fairly rapid updating and deployment of FreeBSD/SMP, I think the choice to use that 'giant spinlock' was valid. It allowed SMP code that by all accounts worked better at least than the 2.0 Linux kernel's (if not 2.2 as well) to be deployed until a better solution could be created.
A better solution will be deployed in FreeBSD 5.0 with the introduction of SMPng. I do not doubt that the 2.4 Linux kernel does a better job at SMP than FreeBSD (release/stable) does, but I think it's worth noting that Linux's SMP has been now five or six years in the making to get to this point, and that the Linux and FreeBSD development and advancement models are significantly different. Where Linux takes gradual steps, FreeBSD (and BSDs in general) tend to take large leaps. That's just a difference in implementation timing. Furthermore, it's perfectly reasonable to expect two open-source systems to leapfrog each other in terms of capability as ideas and code move from one to the other, and it's really not something to gloat over. What one does better today, the other will do better tomorrow. It doesn't really matter. To those of you babbling on and on about 'the giant spinlock', you might want to go do some research into the theory, and practice, of implementing locks in threaded systems. Until then, shut up, please.
The evil soviets don't have the kind of satellite imagery we have in 2001. There's really no need for surveillance crafts to be sent in like the soviets did and what we did in vietnam. And about that little drone plane we sent in the other day, it was just to see where some of their anti-aircraft missiles are positioned.
Its clear you're a troll. Your ID# proves it along with your conformist rebel sophistry. Oh yeah, we're not a democracy; we're a Constitutional Republic.
In order to enhance the feel, response, and desktop usability of the GUI interface, in Windows NT 4 Microsoft removed what memory protection there used to be by allowing the graphics system privileged access to the hardware. This was a departure from Windows NT 3.51 and the result is that now application programs with programming flaws in them can lock up the server, whereas before under NT 3.51, they could only crash the graphics system, while leaving the rest of the server intact. I mean, why would anyone want their GUI not on a desktop monitor?
Yeah, we all know we can trust China. They execute people within a week of their trial then charge the bullet to the executed's family.
Remember the Vietnam war? Wasn't it president Johnson who engaged in some fake boat sinking incident to kick-start it? (forgot the exact details) Why did we lose the war against the North, who were so little in numbers compared to that of ours? Because the American people OPPOSED it that's why. So to prevent such a thing from happening again Uncle Sam has decided that it's in our best interest to brainwash the average Joe Blow to hate China as much as possible.
Ever heard of something called the Tet Offensive? All the VC troops were killed at that point. The only North Vietnamese soldiers left were the regular infantry and they were nothing compared to the VC. We could have won easily if it wasn't for all those hippies and pinko anchors.
But in real life there is no true "good guy" or "bad guy". Everybody looks out for their own interests and think they are doing the right thing. We all have our points of view. What you see from your backyard is not the same as what I see in my own backyard.
Yes there is such a thing as true evil. Ever heard of Stalin? Pol Pot? Hitler? Mao? Castro? Dahmer?
Good case in point: the U.S. spyplane crash in China. Suppose it had been a Chinese spyplane flying over the coast of California. Suppose they had landed at LAX without getting permission from us. How do you think Mr. Bush would have reacted?
Funny, but it wasn't a spy plane. It was a reconnasance plane. Totally different there boy. It was over international waters, the commi pilot was known for getting as close as possible to all types of planes in the area (commercial and cargo included) and had been reprimanded several times in the past for it. We radio'd telling what the commi pilot did and asked for permission to land then said we had to make an emergency landing. We offered to recover the chinese pilot who died in the horseshit but of course the commies refused. Oh yeah, and I got news for you, other countries run reconnasance flights against us!
So what does the U.S. really want out of China? I'll tell you. Our government would love it if China suffers the same fate of USSR: break up into many tiny pieces. When that happens the goold ol' US of A will have become the only standing world super-power. We'd have majority voting power in Nato, and thus we will have controlled basically the entire planet. We will have elevated from "Big Brother" to "Pimp Daddy" with nobody to challenge us. Absolute Power my friends is what the U.S. is after.
NATO is nothing. NATO is obsolete. It has been for decades now. The US is secondary to the Europeans in NATO. We shouldn't even be in NATO or the UN. Its clear you mean the UN but you obviously don't know the difference. Yeah we might not be perfect, but then why have millions of people fled Eastern Europe, China and Cuba to escape communist oppression to live in the US? We're still better than communism.
You're just a conformist rebel. It's rather obvious you don't yet have A Clue by your ID# and URL in there. Oh yeah, and you have the intelligence of a preteen nigerian girl.
