Apparently it does. A better question is whether or not you can fully access Linux on the card. It would be an interesting way to get multiprocessing on one computer, just install a bunch of these cards.

Man, that's one of the depressing things about being a doctor too: having to read up on all of the latest data on current diseases and treatments. What'd I get myself into?
There have been several sites that have shown the benefits of 64-bit vs. 32-bit on x86. Even a simple test rendering with povray can illustrate this (these are my results using the benchmark scene):
sempron 32-bit kernel, 32-bit povray, sse2, gcc 3.4 Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 3.0 seconds (3 seconds) Time For Photon: 0 hours 0 minutes 53.0 seconds (53 seconds) Time For Trace: 0 hours 33 minutes 45.0 seconds (2025 seconds) Total Time: 0 hours 34 minutes 41.0 seconds (2081 seconds)
No. The pathologic processes and clinical course of the diseases differ significantly. CJD is infectious, has a long incubation time, has symptoms suddenly appearing followed by death within 6 months. Alzheimer disease has known genetic predispositions, has a long incubation time, has symptoms that appear gradually with death occurring usually years after initial symptoms. So no, they are not the same.
The problem with choice is that once there are too many, people get confused. You're considering 4 operating systems that compete on an even playing field? The majority of people right now are already confused about their choice of computer, and there's only one or two operating systems that they can practically choose from. Think about it this way, is your grandmother able to install 4 different operating systems in order to run the 4 different programs that haven't been ported to each of the other 3 yet?
No, the symptoms are not all that similar. For one, CJD kills within a few months after symptom onset. It may take a while for symptoms to appear, but once they do you're done with. On the other hand the clinical course of Alzheimer disease is gradual taking many years. Symptoms appear gradually over the years rather than all at once. And then there's the histologic changes that differ completely between the two diseases. In Alzheimer disease, you seen amyloid plaques and neuronal tangles. In CJD you see spongiform changes.
Wow. That'd be a nightmare for both the end user and developer. Now the developer has to target multiple platforms, and the end user has to install a new operating system for that one program he wants.
Being a private lawyer is possible without going to law school. All you have to do is pass the state bar exam. Being a physician, on the other hand, is impossible without at least going through medical school.
Plus, we get an insight into human behavior when we see supposedly brilliant, rich people bickering about idiotic stuff.
I think we get enough insight into human behavior in normal everyday life. Besides, there are plenty of erratic, yet brilliant people. And I don't think their incidence is any different than the rest of the population. (eg. William Shockley, Howard Hughes, etc.)
In these trying times, I must ask you: why do you hate America? Don't you see? Attitudes like that mean that the terrorists have already won! Why won't you think of the children?!?
There's a logical fallacy in there somewhere. Just because it's coming from the WSJ doesn't mean the point isn't valid. And I would have to agree with them, because I think there are better ways to spend extra computer cycles than searching for possible signals from outer space. I'd rather see extra cycles go towards things that have a larger impact for people on Earth: weather analysis, drug creation, protein folding, etc. But that's just me.
Or maybe it's because they've been losing lots of money on the unit. If they'd actually made money on it, you'd think they'd keep it. Although then you'd wonder why Itanium is still around...
Not to beat a dead horse, but the Pentium IV is by no means a flop. In terms of sales, it was a blockbuster for Intel. Although architecturally, it was a dead end.

But is it really a retarded question?!?
Sure, but do you also have a mini-bar in there?

And he's not a doctor or engineer! Yet he's still working in the tech industry. Hmmm...

On the plus side your company doesn't haven't to hire a janitor!
And after recovering the DAT tape from the safe-deposit box at the bank, they went to the ATM machine and entered their PIN numbers to get some money.
It almost, but not quite, gives the PDA a run for the money. Although the PDA is still significantly less expensive. I like it though.
If the plane wasn't even remotely related to Google, the story wouldn't even be here. Am I missing something?

Actually, that would just be a coincidence.
Oh, I don't know, perhaps people who use Java or Perl?

Or have they just been fabricated to demonstrate that they can attain high GHz rates?
