Your comments may be justified if qualcomm uses big-endian byte organization for integers, and if their format for floating point is not the same as Intels. Then, the ARM solution will pose difficulties.
Otherwise, Qualcomm and AMD will be good competition to Intel.
Since Bush, (Watch Bill Maher, comedey act recorded in 2008), the American population has been conditioned to live in fear. Fear is a good motivator to exaggerate dangers. On reflection, as I have been informed by various readings on the internet, that the 9/ll actions were contrived by the group of individuals on the plane and another half dozen others. Suicide bombers etc, are normally brainwashed people, who are also deprived of sleep, so that their rationalization to the wrong doing is blurred ever so badly.
The big joke to really promote fear is all about checking shoes, or the hand up the crotch if the xray is not revealing enough. What does it prove? Jobs in insecurity is what it proves.
Regarding programmers and geeks going into sales of doing sales support. These two groups are late bloomers. First they master the technology, then due to marriage, kids, bosses, etc, the master the social skills. The best salespeople in my view are the 50+ group. Any concurrence from you?
Why is it that heavy alcoholic drinkers do not appear to be diabetic? Sure they succumb to the consequences, but rarely have I read about it being due to diabetes. Mostly, I read about liver and kidney failures. Can someone comment please?
Is it perhapa a combination of quality software engineers and the quantity of software engineers that China can put to the monitoring function? With quantity and quality, one can divide and conquer.
I would think that puberty put the guys minds to the finer more priority thoughts, such as guys looking at women from above the belly button and below the hips , and the swave good dancers, moderately muscle bound looks and good talker guys that are attractive to the emerging women.
New TV standards are 1080p, which I believe is 16x9 ratio. Put a frame around a 16x9 ratio screen and round the corners so you don't cut your fingers on the edges, add a stand, some bluetooth functionality and wow, you leave a lot of manufacturers in the 6 months to 1 year to catch-up.
I was listening to a CBC radio broadcast about inverted totalitarism. That is where the corporations control the economy, rather than a single dictator. The interviewee actually had excellent points about corporations controling what Americans read, see and hear. Corporations put profit infront of greed. For example, this American interviewee indicated that 45,000 Americans die each year because they cannot get affordable medical treatment. Children with cronic illnesses can't get assurance, and bankrupt Americans.
The problems are that the people do not control congress or the senate. It is the corporations, the newsmedia, because Americans are swayed by the 6 media organizations that are owned. The only true news to come out in the short past was wekileaks. Anyway, it was very discouraging to listen to an interview where the reminder of the social status of Americans is so sad. The unpublished unemployment is about 20 percent and far far too many people holding temporary jobs at Walmarts or equivalent stores.
I am the messenger, I love our Canadian healthcare system, and wish the Conservatives in Canada, who follow USA corps rules try to dissolve it, that they themselves be a dissolved party.
To grow your career, you need to learn some programming, and then quickly advance from that. Here is what I understand and have experienced.
I was a whiz-bang programmer for 25 years to age 50. At that age, I was told I was too expensive or prospective employers said I was too old. I became an architect and a senior consultant. I still program for fun and profit, but not to make a living at it.
Another reason for quickly leaving programming -- More and more code is going the modular route. Want a tcp/ip interface, there is a library for that. Want data encryption, there is a library for that. Want GUI interfacing, there is a framework and whole system available for that.
The true programming jobs today are really just to package modules. That is not what I had to do when I started because the modules did not exist. And because I had to do it, I find I have a more in-depth knowledge of networking, data protection, ergonomic design, backup and recovery, database, etc. etc. etc.
Programming can be done in any country, and programming skills are available in every country. So your competition is global, and your salary expectations will be based on the average of the off-shore values paid. Get some programming knowledge and move on. I do not recommmend it as a career.
I agree with the author. I have muslim employees, and surprise, surprise, they are against the terrorism that is not in their beliefs and practices. My employes and friends are ones who have fled Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. The muslims I know really want sharia law for religious decisions, and civil law -- law of the land for the rest (that includes rules of finance).
The author is 99% right about the facts but one, How we can ask the dead about ethnic cleansing.

Conversely, those same people trying to stream across the Egyptian border are shot on sight by Egyptian forces. Just ask all the Jews who lived in Arab countries and are either dead or in Israel because they actually were in reality ethnically cleansed vs. the media side show we hear about from the Palestinians. Google Pallywood sometime to start.
No, Israel does values lives. The hacker would be charged with theft.
Israel will charge him with grand theft, and expect to see him spend 10 years in prison. And Israel and the justice system will find it to be theft. Just as any other countries justice system will find it.
What is fair is fair. If enough of you complain by asking for a take down of a music piece, from your favourite store, because you suspect it was pirated, there must be immediate compliance. There is no penalty for making an error.
Latin America proposes to loan each HS student a Netbook. If the student graduates he gets to keep the Netbook. The thought process behind this is that school book replacement costs are excessive, versus the cost to the government for e-books. There is no transportation of cases of books, no torn pages, and most of all no out of date books if updates appear. The savings on paper bound books alone pays for the netbook.
So, expect to see more and more e-books being prepared for students. The e-books have to be loaded on the netbooks as not all students have internet access.
SUSE has it with BTFRS support, Fedora will have it in May, with it's inclusion of BTFRS support. So what is so special? I guess it is the fact that with the multitude of different hardware platforms, what will work on system x will not work on system y due to either hardware or different pre-requisites or co-requisites. This will be true for MS as well as for Linux, as newer systems may not be Intel based.
I believe the employee is entitled to protection, UNLESS he is subsidized for using his own car or it is a FBI (company) vehicle. I can probably state that in every company you worked, you clocked in and you had to produce and you clocked out at the end of the day. You also attended meetings, so your on-the-job presence was known.
If you leave the USA for an education, you will learn that people in other countries have at least 3 languages in which they are fluent. And that allows them to think "out of the constrained Single Language box". My multilingual students performed much much better than the uni-lingual ones I taught. And I have 3 languages under my belt, all three of which I work in daily.
Wait tell they figure out that they can get a guy in India to do the lecture on video for 1/2 the price. Then we will outsource the professors as well.
I was teaching ERP systems to career change people, and the best lectures were free and from India. They were very well done. I also learned things for myself. I had the class watch them.
As a Canadian, I understand the points you made. It is a major burden on my provincial government and as well, on the Federal Government which has the powers to destribute Healthcare funds. There are different costs in the USA to Canada. In the USA, correct me if I am wrong... Fear of mal-practice suites forces doctors and hospitals to have large insurance premiums. In the USA, correct me again if I am wrong, Fear of a mal-practices suite means that a patient is subjected to many many tests (a blanket of tests )at a hospital, with the ensuing costs, just to protect (and provide revenue) to the hospital, in the event some ailment was overlooked.
In Canada, the hospitals are for the most part government owned, or owned by private-public bodies and the government provides the major operating costs, much much lower costs than you have in the USA. In Canada if you go in to the emergency, or for a specific treatment, that is what the tests are designed to address. The blanket of Medical tests per patient is not done, unless the physician sees a true need. In Canada, doctors in the government plan (the majority 95+%) cannot be sued, nor can the hospitals, if an honest mistake was make. They can be sued if a true malpractice occurred.
Here is the difference in costs. My brother-in-law got a splinter in his finger. At age 70, with his poorer vision and his own inability to remove the splinter resulted in a visit to the outpatient department of the local hospital. Cost for the removal -- $800+ for a series of tests, and for evaluations by doctors he never met face to face. He did not ask for the tests, but only wanted the splinter removed. He had insurance, but his insurance company was bled for the extras -- some of it pure money grab. The same procedure, including blood test to check for infections, in Montreal, $50.00
So we baby boomers are in a pickle, so to speak. How will we avoid bancruptcy when we become to old to be self sufficient. This is a concern as we are a mobile society, when children move to jobs far from the parents home.

Maybe the reason they do not comment is that the servers were not Linux ones. Or, the way the hackers got in is not yet determined.

PHP and LAMP is free (only have the hardware costs). There is a Linux equivalent to C#
XP is an excellent low overhead platform for server and for testing software. Very easy to reinstall, has low memory footprint.
W7 is much heavier a load on a system and more painful to manage.
We use Desktops with W7 (new machines), and XP for everything else that needs MS platform. Otherwise we use Linux,

Lobby groups smear money, and promises of relection support. Therefore SOPA will pass.
