Astronomers Discover 33 Pairs of Waltzing Black Holes 101
Astronomers from UC Berkeley have identified 33 pairs of waltzing black holes, closing the gap somewhat between the observed population of super-massive black hole pairs and what had been predicted by theory. "Astronomical observations have shown that 1) nearly every galaxy has a central super-massive black hole (with a mass of a million to a billion times the mass of the Sun), and 2) galaxies commonly collide and merge to form new, more massive galaxies. As a consequence of these two observations, a merger between two galaxies should bring two super-massive black holes to the new, more massive galaxy formed from the merger. The two black holes gradually in-spiral toward the center of this galaxy, engaging in a gravitational tug-of-war with the surrounding stars. The result is a black hole dance, choreographed by Newton himself. Such a dance is expected to occur in our own Milky Way Galaxy in about 3 billion years, when it collides with the Andromeda Galaxy."

Straw-man argument. Of course the compiler can affect CPU performance. The point I was trying to make is that I agree with HarrySquatter's comments above - as far as I know, Intel is not forcing people to use their compiler.
Any other practices by Intel, anti-competitive or otherwise, don't apply to this particular chain of comments.

A dominant share of the compiler market or processor market?
That's really what I was getting at, not monopoly status.
The compiler favors Intel CPUs. There are other compilers out there that don't, I imagine. gcc is pretty popular, etc.
The issue raised above was whether Intel had an obligation to not cripple their product, and EndlessNameless responded with the anti-trust act. In this case, the product is not a CPU, but a compiler. I'm asking, does the anti-trust act apply to this issue, when there are plenty of competing compiler products out there.

Wouldn't this only apply if Intel had a monopoly on compilers?

Did your first point just invalidate your second?
I think khasim brings up a good point. If your argument hinges on quoting a statistic and inferring all sorts of things from that, it seems fair to invalid it with another statistic.

And does anyone seriously believe that someone willing to launch a DoS on a cell phone tower would be deterred because the jailbreaking process isn't legal?

Asking

will return true if someObject is defined, regardless of whether someObject = true/false, so you have to compare it to a value.
