Putin is pushing, because the West is pulling back. Some blame can be laid at Obama's feet, though I don't think anyone would want a President who went around making threats of open warfare. A lot of blame can be laid at the EU's feet, for inspiring the revolution, and then getting weak-kneed when the Russians became belligerent.

One thing is awfully clear. If you're an Eastern European nation with even a handful of ethnic Russians in your territory, you have a serious problem.

No, no we do not. That is called the instruction set. The programmer does not use the instruction set architecture, they simply issue instructions which the processor then executes as it sees fit, especially in [OoO] architectures with branch prediction. The architecture is the silicon, and the programmer isn't sitting on the die flipping switches.

And herein lies the proof that you know you are wrong, but are continuing to argue. Those things didn't make x86 translation possible, they made it easy and fast. Which is what I said previously. Thanks for the confirmation.

"Off the cuff" doesn't mean what you think it does, because it doesn't preclude racism or sexism. Indeed, it indicates it more strongly, where it appears to be present.

It seems more like she's criticized a segment of a category, and then people like you have promoted the idea that she's criticizing the entire category as a defensive reaction.

What, by pointing out hypocrisy? Bullshit.

Some of what you said is legitimate. Most of it is irrelevant, since it does not speak to the postulate. You're speaking of issues which will affect performance. So what? You'd have a less-performant processor in some cases, and it would be faster in others.

Your victim mentality is astounding. Your "every damn day" BS is interesting though. Shows how pathetic and thin skinned you are if you think women are the only ones that actually have to deal with "life"

You blame everything on men. Blame racism, sexism etc etc etc. You have a fucking "ism" for everything and never actually learn to cope with people and their BS. You would rather point fingers and tell everyone else how society has wronged you and tell everyone else to change for your benefit because you simply can't cope with how hard living actually is.

I've had verbal abuse from bosses. I've had bosses call me at 3am to tell me how crap I am, only to ask favors the very next day. I've had women bosses (the majority of my bosses are women now because my company actively hires them precisely because they are women) come on to me and tell me "you aren't really faithful to your wife are you?". I didn't run off and blame society.

Your problem is you simply aren't able to deal with real people with real issues. You can't roll with the punches so you throw your own, then cry when you get knocked down/out. I actually feel kind of bad for your type because you've never actually grown up. You still kick and scream and stomp your feet like a child that didn't get his/her own way. It's pathetic.

Irrelevant, because we are not talking about The Netherlands

.

Thanks for proving my point. You can go hang out with Al Sharpton now.

Come on, we all know why it is. Just fucking tell them. Tell them that it's their first instinct because they don't want to believe that they could be part of the problem, however slightly. Tell them that they don't want to believe that people they know and call friends are actually acting like complete shitbags. Tell them that you know that they've been hurt, that they feel worthless and useless and powerless, and that you know they feel more powerful and thus more worthy and useful when they make someone else feel even worse about themselves.

And then tell them that the only way that they're ever going to feel better is by helping to create a world where we don't just shit all over one another. Because you've got to tie it into their self-interest.

Naturally, most of them won't listen right away. But perhaps eventually, after continuing to try making the world shittier as a way of making it a nicer place to live, they will start watching where they shit.

I don't believe they can be civilly debated at all. Modern day feminists are not rational. My feminist professors in school very clearly, openly and without fear, gave extreme preference to the women in class. It was out in the open for all to see, but because almost every professor was a women, every administrator etc on up the chain, they could operate with impunity.

Feminists in the 50's-60's even 70's were about equality, something that has long been achieved. Today's feminist is about superiority and the subjugation of men. They are completely different animal. It's like comparing Dr. Martin Luther King to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. These people are extremists that are heavily dependant, financially and in their careers, on their extremism.

I don't wish harm on this woman, but I honestly don't give a rats ass that she is being threatened. She and her kind do more harm to men in this country than anyone else and subsequently more harm to women with their chicken little calls of intolerance and mysogyny. I no longer listen to women that complain about it precisely because of this woman and her ilk. It's all just noise now like calls of racism from Al Sharpton.

A quick glance around the internets suggests that it was promoted by the Romney campaign, including his self, but has a history going back reps calling single-payer health care "Hillarycare". So no, definitely "Obamacare" as well.

That is correct. Every time this comes up I like to spark a debate over what I perceive as the uselessness of referring to an "instruction set architecture" because that is a bullshit, meaningless term and has been ever since we started making CPUs whose external instructions are decomposed into RISC micro-ops. You could switch out the decoder, leave the internal core completely unchanged, and have a CPU which speaks a different instruction set. It is not an instruction set architecture. That's why the architectures themselves have names. For example, K5 and up can all run x86 code, but none of them actually have logic for each x86 instruction. All of them are internally RISCy. Are they x86-compatible? Obviously. Are they internally x86? No, nothing is any more.
