Yeah, but Silverthorn will probably _top out_ at 4-5W. Plus, my guess is it will perform more like the higher wattage C7 parts, or possibly better. Comparisons I've heard are to a 1.3GHz Pentium M. C7 high ends don't perform that well, much less the low voltage parts.
No, C7 will compete against LV/ULV Core 2 parts, not Silverthorn. And they'll compete badly like they always have. There's a niche for them because Via makes some nice form factor MB's, but I don't see them being super competitive all of the sudden.
"The current C7 processor is a sub 20 watt product.."
Then if I read right they go on to say Isaiah will be similar. Sorry, but that's not even in the same league as Silverthorn. Silverthorn will be more like a sub 5 watt product. If this is right, they'll be competing against Core 2 processors and performance won't even be close.
What seems to be missing from that sentence, and what would validate your point were it included is this:
"Of course, that includes the fact they [the schools] use only Windows,"
It's not in the sentence. So in fact, it's only logical to reason that MS wouldn't teach e.g. a Linux-only school on MS products, that would be rather pointless, no?
Amusing. You think Microsoft it's 1992 and MS is doing exclusivity deals. They clearly aren't, and they're not prohibiting schools from doing anything. But if schools don't use MS (at all), it's kind of pointless to go in and train them...on MS products.
Fortunately nobody cares what you want. You aren't one of the thousands of businesses who would be affected because "Joe Asshole" wants to be standards compliant, come what may to everyone else! See, in the real world money, time, and effort is far more important than ridiculous ideals of "standards" (really just your competitors ganging up and defining stuff to screw you over).
I'm not saying it is, actually. Most people who hate Paul don't really give a rational reason, they just say he's "crazy". Fact is, they don't have the guts to say they don't understand an issue and aren't qualified to have an opinion on something. I do have those guys. Maybe we don't need the Federal Reserve, maybe we do, maybe it just needs to change.
Regardless, I'm _positive_ that it would be catastrophic to get rid of it two weeks after he was elected. Probably it would take a lot more time;).
DRM isn't about an implementation, it's about an idea. Basically, that you can limit access to some set of digital material via some mechanism. Nice and generic. Now, there are good implementations (filesystem ACLs, PKI, etc) and bad ones. The original poster was looking for ideas. Instead of "how about you setup a PKI infrastructure and use encryption" or "since you don't need a perfect system, you could wire something up with OpenSSL libraries, SSH, and a database of some sort".
Instead, you all just got on your boring soapboxes and started ranting non sequiturs and complete nonsense about what DRM is and isn't.
I'm not really a fan of most of the existing DRM implementations, but I have a hard time deciding whom to root for. I'm almost rooting for "the industry" because you're all so delusional and the fact is "they" (the bad guys) _can_ win this battle via hardware and making it progressively more expensive and difficult to crack their DRM. You are simply in denial if you don't believe this.
Wow. You people make absolutely no sense. In your world, Microsoft should provide free training for its competitors' products? What's amusing is you probably seriously think that's rational. Wake me up when Redhat donates money to train school IT staff and trains the ones using Windows as well as the ones using Redhat.
Any specifics, and do you have any specific rebuttals to his "crazy ideas" other than to wave your hands, cite Wookies, and call them crazy? Didn't think so.
As for the ridiculous claims of racism, who cares. He didn't publish them and I'm making a conscious decision not to buy into the New World Order of "everyone's racist", TV apologies to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton rants, etc... Call me when he does something actually racist, or of he makes racist statements in his own words in public. Otherwise, I'm bored with it and don't care.
And...? You can write the same in Java/.NET. I'm not sure what convinced you people that "Web 2.0" is some kind of trend and that it performs poorly. Most Perl die-hards writing stuff in Perl that shouldn't be written in Perl are just old UNIX geeks unwilling to move on like the rest of the industry has.
When I need to munge some text or interact heavily with UNIX CLI tools I use Perl, otherwise I use a real language and not a glue/scripting language.
Umm... you do know we're not voting for a King, right? I'd love to have a president with a few crazy ideas and a lot of good ones. He still has to get through Congress, so it's not like he can disband the Federal Reserve 2 weeks after he's elected.
The whole "but Paul has a bunch of crazy ideas" cop-out is moronic. People should really just say they want their nanny state to stay the way it is. So you will vote for another lying, hypocritical scumbag politician.
Again, your short-sightedness really amazes me. Have you not noticed how fast cores are being added? Look up Intel's Larrabee, for example. It's really a little silly to use the word "never" in this context. Unless you're being philosophical. Take for example youre first link. I'd bet you $50 that within 7 years we will be able to render that in realtime, at 1920x1200 resolution at 60 frames per second. 7 years is a lot sooner than "never".
This is worse than the (falsely attributed) "nobody will ever need more than 640k" quote. Seriously, the multicore revolution is just starting. When you start seeing processors with 80-256 cores and dedicated ray tracing optimization instructions those barriers you see will start falling very quickly. I'd say within 5 years we'll have the hardware capacity for realtime raytracing that looks a lot better than what we see now, and in 7 years realtime ratracing that looks like a Pixar movie.
Uhh, you do know the "definition" of a product isn't any kind of logical way to limit the product, right? Nobody cares what the "definition" of an operating system is. People expect to be able to install an OS (or purchase one pre-installed) and to be able to do some core set of things with the computer in a standard way. This definition has changed over time.
It's ridiculous that people think MS should include less in Windows and that this would somehow help consumers. Consumers expect to be able to login to any Windows machine and run IE. They may want to use another browser, and if they know how they can certainly do so. But there is some core set of functionality people want from the OS. Playing basic media files, browsing the web, copying files over the network, simple text editors, utilities, etc...
If you don't want to use the stuff that comes with the OS, install different stuff.
Yeah. And CPU's are ridiculously fast nowadays anyway. The demands put on them by stuff like networking are so low it's just in the noise in most cases.
Did you see these agreements? Did you see what happened in Peru or do you have any kind of evidence at all tthat anything unethical happened? Any evidence that they broke a contract, lied, cheated, or stole? Personally, I find it unethical to jump to conclusions based on absolutely 0 evidence, but maybe I'm just a crazy dude.

Good God. You certainly drank the kool-aid, didn't you. You have some romaticized view of little kids in dirt huts using these things, and taking them down with them to the river to bathe and possibly bring back some water with them. Tell me, in this little fantasy of yours have the "natives" invented the wheel yet?
Don't be ridiculous. If you put the XO in the "dirt" on any kind of regular basis it's going to break too. They're not giving them out to native tribes in South America or Africa, and if they are they're god damned retarded to do so.
You have no evidence whatsoever that this is the case. Based on a nebulous complaint from Negropante you're asserting that they did something wrong here, when in fact you have absolutely no idea what really happened.
Wait, so I can only assume you have some sort of tape or video or documentation that proves this is what happened? You don't? Oh, I guess you're just making up a scenario then going all over righteous over said made-up scenario's ass.
Software is more flexible than hardware. We have plenty of hardware to do the work, and the parts that benefit from offloading (e.g. checksumming) are already offloaded. No point to adding new hardware.

No, it's not illegal. Thanks for playing, though.
