AMD has Jim Keller back, the guy behind alpha 21164/21264, athlon64, apple A4/A5, broadcom's cool SoC's (WRT54G)..he's designing their next x86-64 chip. don't count AMD out just yet.

secondary cpu?

i think what he was asking is if it comes with rediculous bandwidth caps like, oh, cableone or mediacom. like "you can have a 1 gigabit per second pipe, but you can only download 50 gigabits before we throttle you to 5 megabits per second. after that, every gigabit costs $50". and since it's america, yeah, there will probably be a boatload of catches. "up to" 1 gigabit, if downloading from a torrent with 800 peers on a tuesday afternoon while doing the macarena in a dress.

it was closer to 145 years between the montgolfier brothers' balloon and the first commercial passenger airships, and yes balloons are comparable in air travel to rockets for space travel (primitive yet effective technology). it wasnt until shortly after passenger air service became a thing, that aviation advanced dramatically and the airplane came out on top as the primary form of air travel. we are seeing the beginnings of commercial space travel now, which i'd say is about half the time it took aviation to reach a similar level. the innovation from this point on will be exponential (and cost will decrease likewise over decades), just as it was with aviation.

the wayback machine shows this as very incorrect. i did, however, manage to find a taliban.com site from 1998, which told of a move to http://ummah.net/taliban/ - which by 2000, had again moved to http://www.afghan-ie.com/ - by the 21st of april 2001, this was down as well.

it blows my fucking mind how many people here are placing the blame on the person who's papers were confiscated. this is completely unacceptable.

google says the exchange rate is currently 1.36 euros to 1 dollar. 10 billion euros would be 7.37 billion dollars.

that was across borders, sir. US law doesnt really apply outside the US, and im sure our govt gives no fucks, zero, about other nation's laws.

if you plug it into a tv its a pretty good drawing pad

i dont think anyone was advocating using an empty usb drive, which is nothing but a storage medium, in place of this. but rather, one of the many quad-core android jellybean hdmi dongles available from china for $30-80 (with varying hardware specs) such as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkws05jsAH8

this is exactly right, and the media is assisting them in this grand distraction.

i want to know where to buy a laptop with striped 15k rpm scsi drives!

nobody wants a 100% compatible substitute for outlook, because people want their email to -work-. outlook is awful, i spend more time supporting outlook bugs and failures than any other single thing in the office.
