I've already barely survived decades of them ambling down streets and highways inside of their 3 to 4 ton Cadillacs, how is this worse? And even more fearsome are impatient young male Chicago bus drivers in 15 ton WMD.
really? I'd say the number is very tiny given the size of the code. On the other hand, given the age and size of a certain other browser, the number of vulnerabilities and the number of known exploits is HUGE, as is the estimated cost of damage done to business.
was just joking, but I seriously hope Apple doesn't go the route of just having standard slap-together off-the-shelf motherboard architecture and graphics subsystems. In other words, I hope the NetBSD and Linux ports are a bitch!
not any more: the Itanium2 is 2 times as fast by that metric. Alpha @ 833MHz: SPECfp2000 644 SPECfp_base2000 571. Itanium2 @ 1.6 GHz: SPECfp2000 2675 SPECfp_base2000 2675. Alpha was cool in its day, some of those ideas went into Itanium. Itanium will "flop" in market for same reasons 8D
Amdahl's mainframe architecture (usually referred to as The IBM Mainframe) has 14 years on x86. But if you mean microprocessors, it has no competition. interesting the motorola 680x0 came out 1 year after the 8086 (1978 vs. 1979) but pretty much died out in the mid 90's. There's also conceptual machines with real world implementations, such as The LISP Machine, another topic I guess.
Steve Jobs ventures forth from Apple to make startup NeXT. Steve dumps proprietary NeXT architecture and ports NeXSTep to beige box PC, killing off NeXT. Steve returns to Apple with much fanfare, and does his trick again by killing Mac by porting OS X to beige box processors. Meanwhile, Sun Microsystems tries to pull a half-assed Steve Jobs, and fails with *two* architectures. HP pulls double-assed Steve Jobs with reverse twist porting HP/UX, NonStop, and VMS to Itanium and kills market for all three!
wirewrapping is newer than soldering, but I was refering to laying out circuit boards via CAD and sending the file out for fabbing, cheaper and faster than buying a pile of wirewrap sockets at $1.50 - $3 each.
the Itanium is horribly expensive for its power, about $10K / chip. It's a power hog. It has impressive floating point performance, but in the realm of normal integer/logical operations the x86 whoops its ass for bang for buck. In short, the Itanium2 is completely unsuitable for consumer computers.
back in the 70's I had to build controllers for video switching equipment with TTL gates, but I'm just wondering what this 4 year+ project proves in 21 century. Heck, I haven't even wirewrapped a board in 15 years; there's better ways of doing EVERYTHING now.
sadly for most of us, your wife is not normal (in the sense of usual). Romance novels, "chick flicks" and soap operas are the equivalent of porn for most women, not the visually oriented erotic stuff. But try to get most of them to have such an open mind toward "our" stuff, doesn't work.
no, if the nucleus of any kind of atom is split it's called nuclear fission, whether or not by chain reaction, and whether or not net energy is released.
I use windows at work too, to run Cygwin for my scripting language software and to ssh to the various Unix/Linux/BSD boxes. So I'd say Windows 2000 Professional makes an adequate/servicable scripting and terminal environment, if one's employer doesn't allow best tool for job.
fat in itself isn't bad,but coupled with the U.S.A. habit of too much sugar it's a very bad thing. All the asian grocery stores in N. Illinois carry Spam(tm), but strangely enough I don't see many fat people in them compared to "regular" grocery stores where 30% of the people take up most of the aisle!
maybe I'm just being silly, but I'm imaging mass produced "universal soldiers", growing adult humans and using them for spare parts harvesting, clones for slave labor, rich corporate leaders cloning themselves,.....all that crap sci-fi horror movie stuff. No, our governments are way too advanced and good and moral for that to ever happen....

or they could do the Berkely thing and light up a J, look at the images, and go "whooooaaaaaa...."

the x86 mac: "of course it doesn't run NetBSD"
It's public domain, and also the Author also claims ownership of Everything.
heh, no, just solder sockets for one FPGA and a few support chips by hand

no problem, in court you just say you meant KPH, and not MPH
it's your abilities as a Linux admin that suck. The open source OS community doesn't want you, reinstall Windows now, or buy a Mac.

nah, those had 8080 microprocessors. This project built a cpu at the gate level.

there is mounting evidence that there may indeed be intelligent life there, rather than just golfers and tourists.
have made Rexx open source: get yourself some of that here

you can keep one eye and one ear on the road
and one crushed broken burning body in the ditch
a couple major "commercial" distros use the 2.6.8 kernel
