but how are mac users going to install any windows OS after xp on their macs? i mean DRM runs both ways. longhorn will require the treacherous platform module too...
general purpose and vector processors are mutually exclusive.
they aren't going to be running anything non-multimendia.
they are just 8(7 in reality) vector processing elements bolted onto a in-order ppc cpu. i don't know why it took billions of dollars to hack on a vector processor array onto a ppc cpu... well except to add the fine and dandy DRM...
try running your general purpose OS and applications solely on those vector processors. notice i don't use the bullshit nomenclature of SPE's and CELL.
amd and the other guy don't make cpus solely for multimedia... cause that's a small fraction of the jobs that people want to do with them. they are hardly in the dust , and for ages to come.
go back to your windproducing young male adolecsant "enthusiast" web site and leave us adults in peace.

i think you mean to say "no one will ever need more than 640 thousand cores"
they didn't come out and say this in 2004 where it could have helped prevent another massive voting fraud that went massively underreported in the media.
the fact that "bloggers" knew about this and reported on it extensively online with their shoestring budgets, tells me a damn lot.
www.blackboxvoting.com was and continues to report about the enormous vote fraud of 2004. the CEOs of diebold and ES&S have even gone on record saying they will deliver OHIO to bush.
2000 and 2004 have been incredibly eye awakening and extremely shameful. the media helped deliver this country into the hands of criminals. and our inaction did the rest.
there is no law which compels citizens to recognize an illegitimate government.
and recently, the other 2 big liars who helped in the illegal iraq war, despite the millions of protesters against it, in britain and australia... both of those liars have been reelected with massive vote fraud as well.
do you believe bill gates when he says his company isn't a monopoly?
yeah neither do i, cause it's so !subjective!.
if you truly have a desire to understand facts and events, then there are ways of doing that. if you just want to throw up your hands and declare everything as "subjective"... well that's not very useful.
cripple and sony go together like cheese and crackers.
the interesting bits are what make running linux on it worthwhile, rather than just something mildly amusing.
sony, a member of both the RIAA and MPAA, and their new fangled DRM engineered Cell processor...
sounds like an excellent combo.
not that MS and nintendo are much better.
as has been said before, fuck those goddamn cocksuckers. i want access to the hardware that i've purchased! (not like i would buy it now).
these assholes need to be taken to court and prevented from selling such illegal products.
imagine other industries engaging in the kind of behavior console companies seem to get away with... then maybe you'll understand the issue slightly better.
they get massive tax breaks if they categorize their console as a "computer".
that's all they're doing.
and i don't believe for a minute they are opening up the system. they will somehow cripple linux and or the interaction of it with the hardware. it won't be FREE (lilbra). it'll be like MS open source efforts i.e. not worth a damn.
sony and ms and nintendo are control freaks. they will deny you the customer of the use of your own hardware which you purchased, if at all possible. it makes zero sense for them to suddenly do an about face on the issue of DRM aka handcuffed "consumer" mode (HCM).
oh and before i forget... CELL is engineered from the ground up for DRM.
Slashdot Mirror
thank heaven, for japanese girls.
where does google want to go today?
or
"640 buyouts ought to be enough for anybody"
neither is apple, sony, microsoft and dozens upon hundreds upon thousands of other companies.
you cannot virtualize the treacherous platform module.
that's why on paper and in the limited tests they've done, it's not possible.
maybe through a loophole or a hw/sw bug, but not outright through the specs.
DRM is by definition, FORCE.
how could it possibly be otherwise?
the only way out would be to continuously limit yourself to what you can do... over the years, you won't be even able to connect to the net, etc etc.
plagarism makes the world go round.
aka information sharing.
i think we as a species have way too much ego and far too little compassion and understanding.
but how are mac users going to install any windows OS after xp on their macs? i mean DRM runs both ways. longhorn will require the treacherous platform module too...
no, there will be some DELIGHTFUL people attempting to decripple their product and it's "security" "features".
let me get this straight...
DRM is bad but apple DRM is good?
they are a software company, always have been. it's even more evident now that osx runs on "low quality, generic" computers.
DRM and the people who employ it can go to hell.
i'm guessing 100's of millions of people don't have cheap generic G5 systems hanging around taking space that they could install osx on...
oh wait..
they've been doing this on the powerpc front.. so why not take advantage of treacherous computing to force everyone to obey their EULA?
and yeah, it's also inconceivable they'll start using x86 chips.
maybe they'll start using gasp! zero button mice too.
just like intel announced "we're not using any !unannounced! DRM in our chips or chipsets".
not only is this the killer DRM for tying their hw to their software, but they can kiss hollywood's and the music industry's ass.
and since those fuckers in redmond are doing it too... well it's all just one big party... and the customers are paying for it.
no, apple is and always has been a software company.
the fact that they used more exotic hw to deliver their "experience" is mostly irrelevant.
they obviously also used their hw as a anti-"piracy" dongle. which helped them stifle the powerpc market.
even the zealots on this site admit... people switch for osx... not for the underlying hw (1 in 1000 might, who are technically inclined).
their strength is software, it just wasn't so evident to people before they made a switch to "lower quality hw" aka x86.
they are now using the evil platform module to please hollywood at the expense of their customers.
fuck you apple and microsoft and whoever else would prevent people from making full use of hardware and software they purchased.
go and die, the world will be better off without you.
but is it "christian" to infringe copyright?
THAT is the question.
a 2.2ghz celeron performs approx. like an 800-1GHZ/mhz athlon/p3.
that's what people get for not performing the necessary homework before buying a system.
it works... but it's not for high end applications.
well maybe they have a reference? they check their results against known quantities.
but then again, they may be "unethical" scientists...

one can only hope. at least apple would have contributed something hugely meaningful to the computing industry: the death of intel.
imagine, waiting only 1 week for a full system compile.
my mouth is salivating at the prospect.
hyperthread.
it's a brand name for intel's SMT method.
SMT (symmetric. multi threading) is the correct word.
it's the generic word that fits all situations without sounding like dumb.
