is this AMDs way of saying "oh look we cant make a proper quad core system like intel so we just make 3 the magic number! and everyone will buy our marketing technobable crap"
we dont need Yet Another Linux Distro, there are plenty already!
we need them developers join a bigger project like Ubuntu and Suse and not reinvent the wheel over and over
i would rather see 100,000 servers in a datacenter "google style" dedicated to number crunching with operating systems and hardware tuned for servers and efficiency rather than 1,000,000 home pcs wasting away electricity and bandwidth
or at least have them home pcs doing something usefull like folding proteins or other distributed medical projects that will help people
i was one of the first people in my university to use firefox a few years ago, since then i seen a steady rise of people using it
but
since last march the trend reversed, for example myself went back to IE7 because the fonts look alot nicer on my laptop and memory usage is very important for me, 4 tabs open in IE7 and firefox + both minimised > ie7 using 4MB! firefox is using 60MB! wtf?
and dont get me started on the google toolbar..
i see people going back to IE7 now or opera
anyways since this is/. i prob will be modded down, but oh well, this is the truth and i hope mozilla do something about performance (and no rooting around configuration options is not cool) as i like firefox and use it for development and testing
what restaurant was this dude? im from galway myself:)
the owner should have told them to go back to Britain, we kicked them out of Ireland in the olden days already, and they still keep coming back for more!
like i said
"its not perfect but compared to the US..."
there are a lot of things in Ireland that could be improved
but were not badly off and since '96 things have been getting better, a lot better
the fact that Health Service Executive didn't spend half of the 400 million health care budget and had to return it to the Exchequer makes you think "wtf? they could have spend it? what a pile of incompetent bastards, what the hell are they at?"
at least u get treated if you get shot for example outside a hospital (chances of that happening are slim unless u live in certain parts of Dublin!) while in US u get left lying on a street if you dont have health insurance
after watching this i am shocked, USA is in a bigger mess than i taught!
as a European i am happy i don't have to make tough choices when it comes to my health, if i need treatment i would get treatment with little hassle
i highly recommend for any Americans with Irish roots to come back here (u wont get hassle getting citizenship!) the economy in last 10 years has grown so much the country is unrecognizable, and u get quality health care (its not perfect but compared to the US...)
well looks like the thread starter is already the bigger fool for buying an Apple product, so i was just trying to help the poor soul (well not poor financially anyways if he afforded an iphone)
Slashdot Mirror
i didnt mean it in a bad why
lol
funny seing peoples reaction even tho bellow the slashdot logo it says "news for nurds, stuff that matters"
For nurds like me, this is like finding the Holy Grail
so 3 is better than 4?
is this AMDs way of saying "oh look we cant make a proper quad core system like intel so we just make 3 the magic number! and everyone will buy our marketing technobable crap"
yea? this is a "community" that argues over everything as it is, just look at all the "fractures" over KDE vs. Gnome...

the world doesnt need Yet Another Search Engine
google, live and yahoo do a great job already
WIKIA is a for profit company!
so they want to use other peoples spare CPU cycles to build an empire on top without spending money on servers?
rofl!
all them spare cpu cycles would be better used for distributed research like Folding@Home and other @home projects
lolz! what where Fox news smoking!
How does making a license freely available for software authors to use translate into "shoveling [sic] GPL3 down our throats"?
you were meant to say >>
How does making a more restrictive license freely available for software authors to use translate into "shoveling [sic] GPL3 down our throats"?
as a software developer you feel that the new version of GPL was not written with software developers in minds, and for software developers benefit.
but it feels/sounds like it was written by some lawyer(s) with a grudge against tivo/microsoft and to create an opportunity to make $$$ thru lawsuits
lawyers are (lie)lawyers, it doesnt matter that they work for the FSF..
must crush internet explorer!
Internet is for PORN!!

google does no evil!
tough choice eh? on one hand microsoft's bloatware on another hand google's spyware
how will the block http traffic on port80? sites where you can upload very large files and get a download ticket in return

well in all honesty
at least u get treated if you get shot for example outside a hospital (chances of that happening are slim unless u live in certain parts of Dublin!) while in US u get left lying on a street if you dont have health insurance

oops ur right! sorry but vmware does support it (i believe vmware have free trial as well?)
install xp in a virtual machine! virtual pc + windows xp FREE from microsoft!
or install your legal 32bit copy of windows in vmware
or google for running osx in vmware like im doing
the irony! global warming melts polar caps that help make drilling for more oil/gas easier...
