No, because a complete reimplementation of the ARM would not need to pay royalties. Look at OpenCores.org and at all the MIPS implementations which are royalty free.
The issue with that argument is that the classical RISC pipeline issues only aligned loads and stores, and does instruction and data alternately. When using x86 unaligned loads may be necessary, due to variable size opcodes. Also, a longer pipeline translates into a bigger hit from a jump prediction miss. Of course there are work arounds but many of them are ugly. And the x86 uses a stack for floating point registers. That's okay, until you try to make it superscaler. x86 is ugly, and with all that silicon you could implement MMIX.
Judges can and do hear cases where evidence must be surpressed, for instance litigation over confidential contracts. Of course, something involving the CIA might require Congress to specifically commission an investigator. IANAL, and someone who is can say more about this than I can.
It is correct. The chips were implementations of the DEC Alpha architecture, hence Alpha chips. Alpha is modifying chips as an adjective, so it is not possessive, only chips is.
Unlikely. They already had PPC processors on the desktop and didn't like them. I think this is geared towards mobile devices like the iPod and iPhone which are not Intel chips. But if Apple gets PPC chips from a vendor who cares about portable computing (like Apple itself) they just might switch back to take advantage of the negative compiler optimization hit on PPC.
Isn't there already a gpl'd alternative to.flv? What advantages are there in sun's offering? And given that the patent fees on.mp4 are so low, is that really needed?
Centrist? What kind of philosophy is that? All political positions worth discussing begin with a few key axioms, and then are build up through logic.
Sure, there's a spectrum, but it is because of the differing axioms. For instance:
Socialism(all kinds):Economic forces are the driving forces of society. All men desire and should have freedom.
Liberalism: The state exists to safeguard inalienable rights, including property rights.
Nationalism: The state exists to protect the culture and the people of the nation.
Christian Right: The state exists to legislate in accordance with Christian morals.
Christian Left: The state must be a moral actor in accordance with Christianity.
Now, the details of interpretation depend on the particulars of the party. But anyone who supports one of these positions will generally agree with the axiom associated with that position. For instance, Liberals favor deregulation because the right of contract is one of those inalienable rights. Centrism is worthless because it is simply the fallacy of compromise: If I say carbon is tetravalent and you say it is octavalent, it is most certainly not hexavalent.
Are you smoking something? The National Socialist Party of Germany believed in the supremacy of the German nation, while every single socialist party was internationalist. The Democrats were indeed envious of fascism in the 1930's as were Republicans such as Lindberg. After all, Nazi Germany had escaped from the Great Depression. The Nazi party had racist attitudes. Racism was and is a tactic to divide the workers, preventing them from making revolutionary institutions according to the Communists and socialists. The Nazi party was happy to help out capitalists with slave labor, union busting, and other services. The Nazi party was corporatist in economic policy. Corporatism is distinct from Socialism, in that Corporatism envisions ending the class antagonism within a capitalist framework while Socialism is the a new economic system run by the workers for the benefit of the workers. The Nazi party was opposed by a United Front consisting of all the liberal and socialist parties in Germany. Had the Nazi party truly been socialist they would have not needed to kill thousands of Socialists and Communists for opposing their policies. Liberalism is a weakening of social democracy, itself a weakening of democratic socialism. Nazism is a strong form of nationalism with emphasis on racial purity and mobilization and a fascist domestic policy. The differences could not be more clear.
What about Basel I and Basel II? That's an example of what the GP is talking about. They define the rules for banks, so that a bank can comply with the laws of its home country and make loans across borders safely. Things got very messy once in 1974 when German regulators closed a bank that had just received dollars to turn into Deuschmarks.
Back to the 17th century? You mean while Europe was fighting the Thirty-Year War to end religious freedom we were fighting to preserve it? The time when our navy was the biggest, and our empire at its height? When Dutch law became the basis of law of most of the world? When we finally had something other then boiled vegetables and herring to eat? I can see why we shouldn't go back to that time.
I mispoke. No current algorithms are known for solving NP problems fast with a quantum machine, and it is suspected none exist.But no proof of the converse exists. However, using a nonlinear operator permits NP complete problems to be solved in polynomial time with small error. So it's more pessimistic then I thought.
quantum computers fail at NP-hard problems. But no one has made a cryptosystem for which breaking is NP-hard. So the eventual transition is going to be a bit tricky.
With AK-47's and RPG's. These two weapons enable you to destroy any infantry force you outnumber. They are the great equalizers of modern war. Read Guerrilla Warfare for more details. Also, propaganda is really important. General strikes, sabotage, and demonstrations are other good techniques. It is going to be bloody, long, and your nation will be in ruins at the end. But it is possible to fight against a totalitarian regime. The Vietnam war and the war in Afghanistan are both good examples of this.
Wikipedia states that it only enables backups, which are then played with a software player which is Blu-Ray compatible. It doesn't look like VLC will be playing BD+ protected media anytime soon.
I just use parametric types. To make a sortable data type I define the type and a comparison, and my sort function uses any comparator passed to it. If I want to sort backwards one time, no problem. I just use lambda to make a quick reversed comparison operator. Want to access a different file encoding? No problem, just supply the functions as an argument. Threadsafe? I have immutable variables, so nothing bad can happen. What language do I use? Standard ML.
How else do you interpret the words ``general welfare''? What about ``necessary and proper''? The government is created to advance certain goals, and it is enabled to do anything necessary and proper to achieve those goals. Also, social security and medicare/medicade are not part of the general budget: If abolished those taxes would also be abolished, so general incomes would not rise.
And when we looked into the Soviet achieves we found they had no intention of invading Western Europe. They wondered where the missiles we said they had were. And Soviet Russia was utterly exhausted by WWII. They never wanted a war, and we knew that in 1946 with the long telegram. Our support of the White Army was not forgotten in 1946, and so they would not trust us. But it's a ways from distrust to hostility.
No, the US refused to let Great Britain get the bomb from them after World War Two to maintain a nuclear monopoly. Nuclear weapons decrease the risk of war by making the cost of war even more enormous. John F. Kennedy did not understand this and so committed an act of war against a Soviet ally to prevent nuclear weapons from being placed in Cuba. Had the weapons been placed the Soviets would have been less likely to start anything, as they knew they could respond within minuets. Soviet nuclear doctrine was based on arming weapons during a period of tension between the superpowers, and disarming them afterwards, while the US kept weapons on a hair trigger the entire time. The Truman administration's refusal to abandon nuclear weapons was what started the Cold War. They instead choose to keep the weapons to threaten Russia. In short, United States foreign and nuclear policy has been immature and shortsighted, driven by domestic politics.

Your right to alienate that loaf of bread as you see fit interferes with my right to feed my family.

What keysize? Is this program length or execution time? What about mems of computation?
