What I wonder is what the differences are between the PA-RISC design from HP and the various ARM chips. They are both RISC types and I am sort of surprised that HP does not go with its own CPU architecture. What is the "magic sause" in ARM?
Like performance. I know that this is like complaining that entry to a secure data centre is slower than entering a public building, but it is one reason why it won't be a desktop of choice for many people.
If he's going to great lengths to hide it, we're going to assume the worst.
I reckon he let slip that his expressed belief in creationism was just cover for his membership of the Church of Satan and his practice of gay paedophilia.
Cute, but I would argue that the concept of optimizing slow code after the fact is a prima facie thought crime. The biggest performance gains come from choosing the right algorithms in the design stage.
I know many countries which American's typically write of as commie bastards (ie: most of the world), where people simply wouldn't put up with your TSA nonsense.
I think the problem is that the TSA's survey shows that Americans won't put up with it either - unless its forced on them
The ability and the need (programmers of embedded systems may be an exception). I think nothing of allocating an input buffer that is larger than the entire memory of the first machine I worked on (a z80 box with 2k memory).
I'm not fucking my mom, I'm fucking your mom. That's how I know she's sick of your syphilitic sore covered dick. Which is why I only fuck her in the ass with 5 rubbers on. And stop pretending you don't know the term you used is racist, you dumb fuck.
I thought you'd not be able to answer the question. I'm not surprised you're fucking my mom, she's been dead for ten years.
Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly there. That's the big difference. They're competing mainly with Apple/Google, and I think they can take them on.
You might be right, but Apple has proved to be as unscrupulous as Microsoft. Expect all the ridiculous patents (e.g looks like a tablet) that they have used against Android to be used against Ubuntu.
Having a tablet oriented linux distro is going to open up the linux market. Ubuntu has a reputation for working out of the box, let's see if they can keep it with such unusual hardware.
So we can look forward to the "year of Linux on the Tablet" just after the "year of Linux on the Desktop"?
According to the Space Nutters, we'll find magical elements in the Periodic Table of Elements so we can build fantasy-level spaceships to leave "this rock" and spread the species among the stars. Yes, even the dirt-poor third-worlders will magically float away on space elevators made of tachyons. Amazing! Thanks, space!
Or equally plausible Jesus/Muhammad/Highly advanced aliens will step in to save us so we might as well carry on as usual.
How many more lines are left on the list?
We've got past the "it's not warming at all" stage.
So next up is "it may be warming, but it's not us" then "ok, it's us, but we can't/shouldn't do anything about it" and eventually "it was us but it's too late." What comes after that?
What comes next is "its the scientists fault for not being definite and unambiguous". Plus lots of minor attacks on specific ways of reducing emissions - you know the "smog reflects heat rays so cars hep combat climate change" things
You're safer indeed, if the governments would be able to safely store all that data, and if they could guarantee that it would be used only for the protection of the citizens and not for any oppression. But those are two big ifs.
It has been shown again and again that the governments will eventually be hacked. Or some guy just loses a usb/laptop.
And because we actually have functioning democracies in the Western world, you never know what kind of idiots will be in the governments tomorrow.
... and if they will act in your interest. I'm sure that people have been mugged while under police surveillance but the police just let it happen so they don't reveal their monitoring.

They are probably scared of oracle "doing an Itanium" on them.
Please prove this wrong.
Right, just after you prove that there isn't an invisible pink unicorn sitting on my monitor.
Then you can discuss real shortcomings

This is a good job for wikileaks

You would be arguing against a number of computer scientists; Donald Knuth, Michal Jackson, and a few more.

Programmers have lost the ability to optimize.

"It's also capable of instantly measuring a car's speed and mapping its position"
A small point - but it is impossible to measure speed instantly.
Oh, fine, he's measuring speed as dT->0.
But another small point its impossible to know both the exact speed and exact position of an object.
Bah ... it doesn't bother me, as long as these cameras still miss cars travelling at over 170 mph
Power users are too cool for ... anything but the shell interface.
Apple will have a picture of something looking like a car somewhere and therefore claim ownership
It's... complicated.
In a practical sense, you can run a free Android distro on your smartphone, install the non-free Google app bundle, and have access to the market.
What makes this OK, I'd like to understand. Perhaps that the handset vendor has already paid the license? Or that Google is turning a blind eye?
I think that google turns a blind eye to individual users

Fuckin' racist knuckle-dragger. Please stop fucking your mom, she's getting tired of it.
Racist? perhaps you'd like to explain the difference in race between Indians and Pakis to me, or are you to busy fucking your mom?
They're always trying to undermine India

lets ban the export of Laser printers, we can't let this technology get into the hands of the Chinese ..... Oh Wait!
If it was a bridge crossing to New Jersey they should be given a reward!
Really...
I agree. It was not worth the extra weight that downloading it added to my laptop
The real problem with prohibiting secure phoning is that criminals can also wiretap conversations.
Indeed now that SMS messages are used for two-factor authentication for many banks this is becoming a more common area of attack
