HP until very recently was co-developer of the Itanium, yes they are to be blamed. In fact, alot of the cumbersomeness of the supporting chipset/ EPIC architecture has to do with being ablt to be an HP/UX or Open VMS box if needed.
Those things are great supercomputer chips, yup, the FLOPS are impressive. Too bad the last serious iron vendor which hasn't either dumped them or gone bankrupt is trying to push them off as general purpose business chips.
Itanium would have a future if it is pushed as a vector number cruncher. But as a business server, forget it, it hasn't and isn't happening.
you must be joking, it's been two years and still no new Itanium2 chip, the integrity line is stagnant and future looking bleak. There's rumors of Intel selling off the whole Itanium fiasco to jap consortium since they can't get dual-core to work
we'll send punks with gasoline cans and syphons up there and "liberate" the russian and chinese orbital fuels. heck, with a coat hanger and wire cutters they could even jack spacecraft.
Several methods including this one were used in the Manhattan project. With 0.7% of uranium being u-235, and about 12 kilos needed for a weapon if 100% pure u-235 used, going to need to process alot of natural uranium. If you're just going to use enriched uranium, could need hundreds of pounds because u-238 kind of poops the party. For this calutron method the energy requirements are immense, going to be rather suspicious if your little mine is pulling the power of a mid-sized city.
nonsense, can't use those for population and crowd control against your own citizens; would backfire hugely and the cluster bombs and missiles would be back on their heads. The weapons of a fascist government are fear, intimidation, violation of privacy, abuse of police power.
funny, in those benchmarks showing the speed of java, all I see is procedural code with primative data types. Start building objects, garbage collecting, and casting and my, my what a pig.
no, we've been taking data over many years along two different parabolic trajectories, that's a HUGE difference from sampling at two little data points. And we'll keep taking data along these curves; expansion or contraction and other variations could possibly be detected
I don't and won't use java in my projects for my company's clients for exactly the reasons RMS states. You should be asking yourself what will become of java if Sun can't reverse its direction and goes out of business.
We should just start with purely robotic / remote controlled missions, then don't need to waste money on safety and all the extra weight a human needs. We'd get three times or more bang for the buck this way.
indeed, the only realistic solution I could see is a new kind of "colonizing" of those parts of the world, not to plunder their wealth or have them work for us, but their governments really need to be eliminated (and yes I'm basically talking about bombs and bullets in the head), just so the aid could get there. There's totally self-serving reasons we could do this, after all, many of the horrible diseases we fear, like AIDS and flesh-eating diseases, come from impoverished places.
yes, there's some ok small microkernel embedded realtime OS out there, but I was refering to the advocates of general purpose OS microkernel, lotsa theory but no good real implementations yet.
A buggy disk driver needs to be replaced with a good one, not restarted repeatedly. And what happens to the data the driver was going to write? Gone, corrupt file? More non-realtime kernel Ivory tower BS meets reality.
So the source should be attributed and the text placed in quotes. Out in the real world, stealing someone's work and pretending it's your own can be illegal and also make people look down on you
ABCNews has their usual online voting poll about the issue, and it's currently 2.5 to 1 saying "No, it's not acceptable no matter what the government says", versus the minority saying yes if it's needed to fight terrorism.

yup, about 0% of internet sites are using it, with 10% growth per year. and their average uptime is 100%.

winning? they're killing mostly their fellow citizens and making a nuisance of themselves.
so someday soon the saving gets done by a process that runs on another core of your multi-cored wonder processor than the one you're using to edit
java becomes much slower than c++ or objective c, not to mention a resource pig.

not two points, data is being taken along two different curves over years; and if there is expansion we might just detect it

all the RS work I ever did or saw was in the infrared, this seems longer wavelength, high portion of microwave
no way, gcc is what binds almost all of OSS together
naw, hp will make you run their cciss driver, /dev/cciss/d0c0p10mumble-de-farqme

some woman like whipped cream on the ol' dipstick, but that caffeine idea is intriguing
midrange sounds kind of tinny, though
