  1. Only in the US and China... on Feature: US Govt & Invasion of Privacy · · Score: 1

    I just cant understand that you Amercans can take this 'Big Brother thing' without hitting back in some way! Just dont vote for those stupid politicians that are pushing for these no-crypto-and-total-control-over-the-people stuff!
    US and China is almost on the same level in controling the people.

    I thought they called USA the 'A free country' but i've must have heard wrong...

    It's feels great livning in Sweden times like this! ;-)

  2. wait for the k7 on Meet Max, the G4 PowerPC processor · · Score: 1

    It doesnt matter if it's a PIII or K7.
    The G4 enebled with AltiVec will kick butt anyway.
    Running at 400 will outperform the P3/500 with 25-200% in everything where Math is used like Speech, Image/MPEG, 3D Graph and Encryption.

    For example:
    -128bit permutation - very important in DES and other encryption schemes.
    Altivec - 20cycles
    MMX - 4cycles/bit = 512cycles.

    -Median Filter (3x3) Replaces center pixel in a 3x3 window by median of sorted pixels
    Altivec - 1.23cycles/pixel
    MMX - 415cycles/pixel

    AltiVec will rule!
