Comment Still on Win2K here (Score 1) 727

Win2K in VMware on the lan w/a static ip. Just for Outlook(lookout) though. Many other apps have faded away from versionitis.

Corporate gives out Windows7 laptops and there are many many XP machines still that will prob never fade away as they are in lab settings hooked up to equipment.

Comment ARM v8 (Score 1) 331

Sure and when Qualcomm and Apple get a hold of the 64bit ARM rtl, once they hand tune it (as they have done already with v7 cores), I don't think intel will have a lot of leeway to gouge since low cost alternatives will be available.

Arm played this really well. Start from embedded and then move up to workstation silicon vs Mips who did the opposite.

Comment Glad I did not go there. (Score 1) 168

I was inquiring w/Perlman for a friend that was about to interview there. He turned it around and tried to recruit me...(my friend did get
the job however... along with a couple of other past co-workers...)

I told him in email I was comfortable and did not want to risk a startup given I had a good paying stable job.

to quote the Blues Brothers:
"You'll never get Matt and Mr Fabulous outta them high paying gigs"

Same algorithm. My sock choice is white though (tube socks from Target). The shoes, multiple pairs of Merrell Encore black slipons, good with jeans or even more formal if needed. Multiple pairs because any good fitting shoe may suddenly get phased out and if you like it, you need backups.

Scenario: stoplights out for 2 wide 4lane boulevards with multiple left turn lanes.

Cop is in the centre directing traffic, alternately waving some through etc. This scene is bad enough when there are humans running the show. What would
GOOG's car do? That would be my Q. Give it a couple of tests, need to make a left and a need to go straight through. (add some bad weather for good
measure (thus the reason for the lights out).
