We really don't want to see any pics of any loose lips, thank you very much!

No Fly List 1, Rule 1: If your name was ever Cat Stevens, even for a moment, you're on the list. There are no exceptions!

No. That's correct. You can't add registers, keep the same functionality, and add all the circuitry to suport said functionality by reducing functionality and taking away regsiters. Who would have thought?

"Now, simply shut the fuck up and let the REAL nerds discuss."

ROTFLMAO. That's pretty funny there #1252108 :-)

What you can't seem to grasp is even a layman could figure out how ridiculous your claim is with absolutely no understanding of the differences between RISC and CISC.

Rockgoon the PHB: How comes we cantz just adz us a bunch more registerz on the same die size with the same functionality?

Skilled CPU Designer: But PHBoss, we already have the die saturated with as much functionality as we can! We'd love to add more registers, but we'd have to increase our available instruction set even more, which would require more decoder logic, and adding 20 more registers would require additional pipelines, and a host of other logic. We already are using all the capacity we have! That is one of the reasons we are always trying to move to smaller and smaller fab processes!

Rockgoon the PHP: That's ridiculous! You guys just never thought of it! Admit it! You're lazy! There's plenty of room! Just get rid of some uneeeded circuits! You are the classic example of the guy that learned one fucking little thing and then imagined an entire imaginary universe from it!

In other words, yes, you are half an idiot savant. The first half :-)

That's absolutely correct, unless of course you count the fact that you can't create a CISC CPU with just as many registers that can be used to store data, manipulate data, etc sans a cache hit as a RISC CPU given the same die size, which is another way of saying you are an idiot who quoted half my sentence and then tried to make it look like I merely said "CISC can't have lots of registers!".

Actually, like most people I have only heard what is reported about her. I have since gone ahead and tried to watch her video Ms. Male Character – Tropes vs Women, and having watched as much of it as I can stomach, I still blame the idiots for their response, but not as much as I used to.

No, the benefit of RISC is that you have many more on chip registers that can be used to store data, manipulate data, etc sans a cache hit. With CISC the minute you want to keep more than a handful of data elements in an array to operate on in parrallel, you're taking a cache hit. Several actually.

No. In other words, assembly language programmers don't use compilers; they use assemblers.

I'm not convinced you know what discourse is, actually. I can tell you that blanket statements about classes of people, especially volatile statements that categorize them as miscreants, don't count as "discourse".

No, my solution is for you to go to school and learn how to understand what you read, as that isn't something that any person with basic reading comprehension woud call "the take away" from what I wrote.

Obviously such behavior is abhorrent, but it doesn't do to claim that most people that fit in any category are psychos publicly and then be surprised when a few people exibit the behavior and say essentially: See that proves it!. I could easily say all republican are, or all democrates are $INSERT_VOLATILE_CLAIM and then act surprised when a few of them behave that way and say "See! I told you so!", and it would be a similiarly foul conclusion.

News flash: A lot of people who play video games are immature and / or kids, and a subset of them will behave in this manner when provoked.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from this, assuming it happened as described, is: "Hey, this is what happened". Anyone surprised it happened doesn't understand the human race at all. It was pretty much guaranteed to happen.

"Any thought that this might extend the validity of Moore's Law?"

No, but now that you ask, it would actually make Moore's law invalid:

"Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years."

Once a transistor is as small as possible, it makes doubling them in the same area rather problematic :-)

"Ask her developers what they prefer, however, and it's Ubuntu"

Ask a developer who has recently made or tried to make the transition from Windows to Linux and they expect inconsistency, plus doesn't everyone use it? Ask a seasoned Linux dev and they wouldn't touch Ubuntu with Bill Gates' $INSERT_APPENDAGE_HERE

Ah my brethern! Would that it twas 'nuff to be semantically correct, but alas, 'tis not good English, for your words speaketh an untruth that furthers not the word of thy Lord!

I'm going to do the unthinkable and use a programming analogy circa 2014 on Slashdot:

if (x=1) { printf("God, like your English, is good! (though I don't program very well)"); }

Get it? It's semantically correct, but it doesn't "say" what you think it does :-)

Yes. Imagine a Compact Car, only much shorter and only three atoms long.
