  1. Chain Reaction on EU Software Patent Law Moves Forward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Worst than EU approve this nightmare is all development countries that will gonna be pressure to accept this. And for 'development countries' you can understand India, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, all East Europe, Russia, etc... It gonna be a really f*cking nightmare.

  2. Re:Eliminate Bottlenecks on The Quest for More Processing Power · · Score: 1

    That's a good one. How can we ask for faster processors if ours even are 100% used? The current bottlenecks are memory, motherboards and I/O. Most people has 128 or 256MB of RAM. So what we can except? A lot of swap! And swap sucks your system. When you has processors working on GHz, memories working on MHz and hard disks working on a few KHz, even if a lot of cache memories you can't speedup your system. Now they're trying to use a multi-core computers. Fine, sounds good. It's cheaper than a single core. But now there gonna have so much more controlling for I/O and comunication between cores. So we need to improve (speedup) the comunication on motherboards.
