You sir, are correct. Most things aren't set to run in parallel and thus don't get the gains. Gains come from optimized code (obviously), but also doing multiple tasks. Leave Photoshop to render an HDR image and play a game, if you want. Though to be fair, it's not "just 1/4th" performance, the other cores are able to handle some of the other CPU tasks, such as running hardware controllers.
And the reason that it kind've oscillates between cores is because "Set Affinity" tells the process that it's allowed to use that core, not that it has to or even should. If you want something to use both cores, open up two processes, set the first to core 1 and the second to core 2. Most of the time that's unusable like that, but I recently transcoded my entire music library and set one process to do songs from A-M, and the other from N-Z. It really helped
Why would it? Did he commit a crime (or other questionable ethical practice) in his professional life, or just his private life? It's not like trying to use Dr. Mengele experimental results, there's no ethical stickiness attached to Reiser's work. Professional life != personal life
Both were convicted of conspiracy, money laundering, fraud, and transportation of obscene materials Hmm... 5 years for all those doesn't sound to bad. If they got "providing obscene materials" to a minor, then they'd get stuck with the sex offender tag, too.
I don't know about most of you, but if I don't respond to an email pretty much when I get it, then I'm much more likely to forget to reply to it. That's part of the reason I compulsively check email and respond to it immediately. I don't think it's stressful though.
Yet there's no complaint about any other rich or influential who might throw politics by putting their endorsement behind a candidate. That's the whole point! People can and should share their political views if they're so inclined, they should try and influence people to their side. Isn't that the whole point of having an open democracy with freedom of speech, so that people can share their opinions and if other people think it's a compelling argument they'll change their own mind.
Maybe the issue you have is that he's a rich/influential person. Certainly I would hope that the sheeple vote based on their own rationality instead of just blindly following someone above them. But it happens. The masses look up to these people and think, "Wow, they've made a lot of money, they're successful, they must know something that I don't" and are more easily persuaded. So be it. There's nothing stopping Ted Turner from doing it.
I bought my 80GB because I have 45GB of music. No other reason. I bought it versus another product because I already had some accessories for my 3G 15GB one.
Apple will have one hell of a time convincing people that flash based over HDD based is worth $400 when you could buy two 80GB HDD for that price.
In the dorm in my college (one of the few with old style community bathrooms), we put up a weekly newsletter called "Stall Notes" that has upcoming events, humorous awards for the past week, a top 10 list, and some other rotating features. It's a really good way to ensure that everyone gets the message since no one looks at bulletin boards or email memos. If Google can use something like this to be more productive, good for them.
They can only prosecute the child predators when the predator goes to meet with the child. Only then does it cross a threshold (not including kiddy porn stuff)
Hmm... ACLU against Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, that'd be a fun battle.
MADD is the only reason that the drinking age was raised. They managed to hit Congress who decided that they wouldn't give the states money for Interstate Block Grants if the states didn't raise the age. Same thing with lowering the DUI defined blood alcohol content level. It's just an overzealous organization that convinces politicians to do something that looks good to voters, but really doesn't have any real effect (that is, reducing drunk driving).
I wish I had links to some of the studies done about this.
Unfortunately, the performer's still own the rights to their performances of Mozart's works. Though you can find limited works freely available, you can't find it all.

Conclusive proof that the Zune helps people socialize. Microsoft needs to start advertising that!

No, it guarantees the right to own bear arms. How you get said arms is your business.
