No, they need fast CPUs because they want cheap software, and programmers can't afford to take the time to rewrite all the software to run on the bare metal! Instead, they have to reuse the layers upon layers of abstraction in order to keep the cost of maintaining the programs low, at the cost of speed.
Yeah, that's definitely more likely. I regretted my post as soon as I hit the reply button. I dropped out of computer science in college, so you can see how smart I am.:)
You will not make backup copies of your files.
You will not have your files on more than one computer.
You may not share the files under any circumstance.
You may not playback the movie to more than 5 people.
I definitely don't agree. I remember hearing the same rubbish comments in various forms from shortsighted journos and analysts when we were approaching cpus with 50mhz. then I heard the same creeping up to 100mhz then 500mhz then 1ghz.
It is always the same. "The average user doesn't need to go up to the next $CURRENT_GREAT_CPU because they're able to do their average things OK now". Of course they're able to do their average things now, that's why they're stuck doing average things.
The only reason business users need fast cpus is because many programmers these days are stupid and lazy.
Insightful??? More cores give you SPEED by CONCURANCY! WTF!??
Easy. Killer. You can still test the applications, games, and benchmark programs. I would like to see how amd's offerings compare. If you would have read the article you would have saw that they tested the pentium M. Now go bitch about something else.
Congradulations Lord British. I hope the new game is as good as it sounds. Tabula Rosa is supposed to be a FPS and I think that is fitting considering he was partially responsible for one of the first first person games, Ulitma Underworld.
Can the imbedded semiconductor actually generate light pulses? I remember reading about a new breakthrough that would allow this, but the article doesn't make it clear as to whether or not it is used in this case.
I think this is great. I love Scaled Composite's X-prize winner, but this company is actually shooting for orbit! If you don't already know; it is a hell of a lot harder to reach orbital speeds as it is to only reach the outer limits of the atmosphere and descend.
I wish GoDaddy would treat their resellers better. I am a co-owner of http://namecents.com/ and I'm really starting to regret choosing GoDaddy over Enom. At least Enom would let the resellers know of such changes ahead of time.

Where did you get this from?
;)
OR
if you are making this up, how the hell did it get modded up so high?
The latter, and I have no idea.
How will they define own?

Just stop using activex.
AMD doesn't make any dual-core notebook chips...
That doesn't make comparisons impossible. Who cares how many cores there is. People want speed.
Sun uses DOS?
Wow. Good thing I spelled both the title and first word of my post wrong.

It would be nice if they tested AMD notebooks.

I wonder how many of those sales are for the Smartphone that runs Windows?

Okay crazy. I was joking with the original comment.
Because people hate paypal and love Doom. Because 3d game engine development actually has a lot in common with rocket science.
Does anyone else find it sad that the founder of Paypal has a better rocket company than the creator of DOOM?
Ah well, at least they are both fellow geeks.

You should let the mods know about your link spam ahead of time. Then maybe you wouldn't be modded up.
You should get a website from this host so that you can have your very own blog to whine on.

With an ATM card, you simply swipe it between her buttocks. With paypal phone...what am I supposed to do? shove it up there?
Yes. Just don't ask for change.
I am going to get flamed for this but nothing mind blowing mostly stuff we knew.
HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT YOU MUST BE A NINTENDO FANBOY!!!!!!1111111!!11!!
Please follow me to the gift shop. You have 20 seconds to comply.
Another divorce. Why can't Americans just stay together for the kids?
Great. Now we can pay for a buggy game that now doesn't even have all the content finished yet. And we even get to pay for it!
