These advances are not enough to catch up with modern CPUs anyways. One moves faster than the other. Yeah, sure, maybe in a few decades you'll be able to make a Z80 for a few thousand dollars. Big whoop.
Interesting. By commenting on this, it seems you transferred the Redundant moderation onto this new comment. I wonder if the same will happen with this comment..
Dude, it's in the fucking table. Don't use the search feature, it's written in thousands in that table. Yeah, you "saw these sections". Maybe you'd be better off reading them whole.
Heresy! 2009 is the year of the Windows 7 desktop!
Considered how this type of prediction has proven to be self-defeating (kidding kidding, please don't hit me with the correlation!=causation stick), it's the only way to ensure the true coming of the year of the Linux desktop! Muahahaha!
Yeah, people just "grab free distros". Like my sister who just bought a laptop with Vista, I asked her if she liked it and she just said "oh no I just grabbed an ISO of Debian through BitTorrent, burnt it and installed it over the Vista install. By the way, is ZFS any good or should I just stick to ext3?". I was like "wow!". Then she proceeded to ask me if she needed to vi into/etc/fstab to mount her iPod.
It's easy! OS X has always had the same "theme", whereas Windows changes them from version to version. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if subconsciously (or something like that) that was the reason why the GP found it so different.
Oh, so let's see, maybe some time in the distant and mysterious future there will be something that will allow for something to be done that currently cannot be done. Wow, what a mind opener! And the best thing is that you're completely missing the original point which is it's a few orders of magnitude more impossible to make a 2000s' CPU in a 2000s' garage than a 1960s' CPU in the 1960s.
the number of Palestinians in the area in 1947 were very low (even a lower percentage than Jews who had started moving back in large numbers in the 1880s).
There were 1,181,000 Muslim Palestinians in the area in 1947 (more Arabs than that apparently, it seems most Christians there were Arabs). That's about half as many as now. How the fuck is that very low??
I know what you mean, with my smart playlists that keep out the songs I've played in the last 5 days I always let the songs end too. As for the silence thing just edit the properties of a song in iTunes to start/finish at the time code of your choice. It's very convenient to skip intros and such too.
Good points. You had me until you said "entity" (do you know what that means? I doubt it) in the place of, I assume, "commodity".
Oh and the repeat after me bit is silly. The "information" you have is worthless on its own. It only becomes valuable when it's coupled with lots of other similar "informations" from other people. By retaining this information you're only preventing someone from making money, without any benefit for yourself, which is arguably dickish. Oh and saying that "information is more valuable than money" is stupid. You can't say that something is superior to what measures it.
Two things : there were palestinians were they created Israel in 1947, they deported them to camps to make room. Seconds, if you look at a map of Israel in 1947 and a map of it now, you'll notice that it has substantially expanded into the Arab neighbourhood.
You're making it sound as if Palestinians flocked in the area as soon as they smelt Jews just to start some trouble.
Hey arsewipe since when is buying a stock processor and programming it anything like making a chip? That's as if you called yourself a cook for preparing pot noodles, or considered yourself a programmer for typing "./configure && make".
I know that this thing is much needed on Slashdot because a lot of Slashdotters couldn't tell sarcasm if they had sarcasm right in their face telling them "we're totally not sarcasm", but really, it's an awful thing to do anyways. It's as if you had a special release of Blackadder for the sarcasm-impaired with an audiovisual signal everytime there's sarcasm.
Oh and you're wrong. In case you haven't realised, over time it's cost Intel and the likes increasingly more money to make new processors. It's not getting cheaper, and in case you really have no clue about how these things are made, you need a level of air purity and stuff like that that could never be attained by anyone in their garage to make anything vaguely approaching a 286. You can make a very very basic CPU out of simple electronic components, but that's it.
My reaction exactly. Plus I seem to recall that in the 1990s, was it with Clementine or Galileo, we had some of these fancy colourful maps that supposedly reveal a lot about the surface geology. So why this only now?
Woot! So some emulator/interpreter/whatever supports one more game! Someone tell me by interposed Slashdot story when MAME supports Street Fighter Ultimate Alpha Disco Beta Bio Aqua Do Loop.
Sorry, what's the news here "Hey guys ScummVM has been around for eons but it's pretty cool check it out" ?
Oh did you guys here that there is MAME out there? It can play a bunch of old arcade games, maybe we should submit something to Slashdot to tell the world about it? Or can we just use Slashdot to tell people about any program we want to promote? That's really cool then because you see I have this new program called Photosounder and it does some pretty cool stuff with images and sounds you should totally try it.

lol, the joke's on you actually.

How does that help you making a launcher with specs comparable to those of the Saturn V? Not much.

Thank you. I accept your apology.

Actually if you wanted a real replacement to previous versions of Windows wouldn't you suggest ReactOS?
Yeah, people just "grab free distros".

Please substantiate this claim.

I think you left off the sarcasm tag

Yeah, so in other words it's nothing like making a chip, just programming one. Anyone can indeed do that in their garage...
I recall a lot of professional computer people saying these sorts of things about computers 35 and 40 years ago
Yeah, whereas these days, anyone can have a processor manufacturing plant in their garage!
Except it seems like it uses shadows more than parallax.
Trust him, he wears a lab coat!
Yes, please, and ensure that all the odd stories of little relevance are filed under the Idle section of the website, if you would be so kind.
