Chips_B_Malroy"All day, the Internet has been erupting with news that the age of notebook and netbooks is over, and the age of tablets ? specifically, the iPad, of course ? has begun. One of the main catalysts of this eruption was Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn who supposedly told the Wall Street Journal that the iPad is cannibalizing laptop sales, especially netbook sales. Or did he?"Sep 19 02:38

In other words, Microsoft and all the PC incumbents are screwed."Sep 19 02:39

Diablo-D3okaySep 19 06:54
Diablo-D3soSep 19 06:54
Diablo-D3intel can suck my nutsSep 19 06:54
Diablo-D3[01:46:08] <TheMadHatter> That I won't say. I usually carry several. After 9/11 I vowed to never let a flight I was on be successfully hijacked. And I won't.Sep 19 06:54
Diablo-D3neither did those guys in Penn.Sep 19 06:55
TheMadHatterIt wasn't that long ago that everyone was buying hard cards. And now they are back.Sep 19 06:55
Ender2070intel can suck mine tooSep 19 06:55
Diablo-D3I wonder why everyone forgets the third hijacking on 9/11Sep 19 06:55
Ender2070i  bet you pirates crack the software thoughSep 19 06:55
Diablo-D3well, fourthSep 19 06:55
Diablo-D3so back to IntelSep 19 06:57
Diablo-D3do they realize that everyone is just going to unlock their CPU?Sep 19 06:57
Ender2070probablySep 19 06:58
Diablo-D3I mean, people do it to _broken_ chipsSep 19 06:58
Ender2070its a crying shame that AMD didn't man up and keep the anti trust suit rollingSep 19 06:58
Ender2070now intel can do whatever it wantsSep 19 06:58
Diablo-D3Ender2070: they didnt have toSep 19 06:58
Diablo-D3AMD only did what they needed to do to make Intel stop suing them for making a better productSep 19 06:58
Diablo-D3its up to the rest of the world to BUY that better productSep 19 06:58
Ender2070however what better product is thatSep 19 06:59
Diablo-D3the fact Intel had to make up this gift card bullshit means AMD is winningSep 19 06:59
TheMadHatterYes, AMD got what they wanted. Which means that ARM is the best hope we have.Sep 19 06:59
Ender2070not at allSep 19 06:59
Ender2070AMD took a paycheque from intel to shut upSep 19 06:59
Diablo-D3Ender2070: when was the last time Intel made a CPU that beat AMD at performance/price or performance/watt?Sep 19 06:59
Ender2070now they make their low end chips and intel can upsell upgrades to unlock features it already hasSep 19 07:00
Diablo-D3hint: the answer is a Pentium 3.Sep 19 07:00
Diablo-D3AMD has long since been outpacing Intel.Sep 19 07:00
Ender2070Diablo-D3 - everything that competed with the phenom and phenom 2Sep 19 07:00
Diablo-D3everything? so, nothing.Sep 19 07:00
Diablo-D3No i# chip has done so.Sep 19 07:00

Diablo-D3nope, you cant go say c2d/c2qSep 19 07:00
Ender2070Q6600 beats everything phenom 1 hasSep 19 07:00
Diablo-D3you gotta go compare those at original retail pricesSep 19 07:01
Diablo-D3otherwise every out of date hardware magically winsSep 19 07:01
Ender2070nothing from the phenom 1 line beat the Q6xxx lineSep 19 07:01
Diablo-D3This is why you silly consumers fuck upSep 19 07:02
Diablo-D3you never normalize data.Sep 19 07:02
Diablo-D3Ender2070: "beat" in what?Sep 19 07:02
Diablo-D3flat out power?Sep 19 07:02
Ender2070speedSep 19 07:02
Diablo-D3no one cares about thatSep 19 07:02
Diablo-D3they want to get what they paid forSep 19 07:02
Ender2070no tlb bugSep 19 07:02
Ender2070no shitty chipsetsSep 19 07:02
TheMadHatterOh crap - it's 2:00 AM, I gotta run. Night all.Sep 19 07:03
Diablo-D3that "bug" didnt do what people thought it did.Sep 19 07:03
*TheMadHatter has quit (Quit: Page closed)Sep 19 07:03
Diablo-D3anyhow, you're clearly an Intel fanboySep 19 07:03
Ender2070no it just blue screened peopleSep 19 07:03
Ender2070i used to be an amd fanboySep 19 07:03
Ender2070till the phenom 1 crushed my hopes in themSep 19 07:03
Diablo-D3it bluescreened people who didnt apply the fix.Sep 19 07:03
*amarsh04 has more trouble with sata cables working loose than buggy chipsetsSep 19 07:03
Diablo-D3they also replaced many of those tlb-hoarked phenom 1s with phenom 1s that werntSep 19 07:03
Ender2070intel would never release a cpu that crashed requiring a motherboard bios updateSep 19 07:03
Diablo-D3also, linux doesnt suffer from the tlb bugSep 19 07:04
Diablo-D3only windows.Sep 19 07:04
Ender2070my customers used windowsSep 19 07:04
Ender2070and they were cheap fuckers who bought shitty boards tooSep 19 07:04
Diablo-D3oh, and intel wouldnt?Sep 19 07:04
Diablo-D3REALLY?Sep 19 07:04
Diablo-D3remember the pentium math bug?Sep 19 07:04
Ender2070they didnt know it and release it with the bugSep 19 07:04
Ender2070they found out afterSep 19 07:04
Diablo-D3AMD didnt know it.Sep 19 07:05
Ender2070amd knew itSep 19 07:05
Ender2070yes they didSep 19 07:05
Diablo-D3it didnt show up in their testingSep 19 07:05
Diablo-D3and unlike the pentium math bug, it was easy to fixSep 19 07:05
Ender2070hahSep 19 07:05
Ender2070i probably still have the email from amdSep 19 07:05
Diablo-D3they became aware of the bug by the time retail boxed cpus were shippingSep 19 07:05
Diablo-D3remember, computer manufs get CPUs up to 6 months earlySep 19 07:06
Ender2070i knowSep 19 07:06
Diablo-D3they were already in computers and shipping before AMD knewSep 19 07:06
Diablo-D3but the fix is simpleSep 19 07:06
Diablo-D3either upgrade your bios, or have an OS that patches the bug itselfSep 19 07:06
Ender2070thats why some boards took months after retail release to fix it in their bios?Sep 19 07:06
Diablo-D3linux patches the bug automatically if you have a new enough OS.Sep 19 07:06
Diablo-D3Ender2070: noSep 19 07:07
*Judas_PhD has quit (Quit: This is a quitting message)Sep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3some board manufacturers just dont give a fuckSep 19 07:07
Ender2070trueSep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3if this happened on intel, we'd still have the same problemSep 19 07:07
Ender2070nah, intel does recallsSep 19 07:07
Ender2070amd just changes the model nameSep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3they dont recall other people's boards.Sep 19 07:07
Ender2070the cpu itselfSep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3they didSep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3any leftover stock was sent backSep 19 07:07
Diablo-D3AMD replaced it with fixed CPUsSep 19 07:08
Ender2070some ended up being X3'sSep 19 07:08
Diablo-D3if you owned a retail boxed cpu, you could send it back tooSep 19 07:08
Ender2070modified firmware and disabled coresSep 19 07:08
Diablo-D3and most manufs would work with you under warrenty to get it fixedSep 19 07:09
Ender2070under warrantly sucksSep 19 07:09
Diablo-D3its not like AMD fucked people over hereSep 19 07:09
Ender2070shipping shit around is a pain in the assSep 19 07:09
Diablo-D3there should be no broken CPUs left out thereSep 19 07:09
Diablo-D3but look at IntelSep 19 07:09
Diablo-D3they never recalled the math bug CPUsSep 19 07:09
Diablo-D3they just sent out a software patchSep 19 07:09
Ender2070amd is still behind in fab technologySep 19 07:10
Diablo-D3AMD isnt behindSep 19 07:10
Ender2070reallySep 19 07:10
Ender2070what are they at nowSep 19 07:10
Diablo-D3Intel _needs_ to use one step smaller because their chips are badly designed and want to overheat.Sep 19 07:10
Diablo-D3AMD's design simply doesn't require it.Sep 19 07:10
amarsh04I went off AMD for a while due to an NE2100 nic that died and someone at work frying their early athlon. I liked the 386DX40 they had, and am happy with the athlon-64 and laterSep 19 07:11
Ender2070nice way to spin that oneSep 19 07:11
Diablo-D3Ender2070: AMD does every other sizeSep 19 07:11
Ender2070they are one step smaller because intel has more money in R&DSep 19 07:11
Diablo-D3it reduces the cost of fabbing by a fair bitSep 19 07:11
Diablo-D3not really one step behindSep 19 07:11
Diablo-D3its kind of absurd to say thatSep 19 07:11
Ender2070it isSep 19 07:11
Ender2070they are behindSep 19 07:11
Diablo-D3Intel doesnt know how to develop chips, so they have to continually waste moneySep 19 07:12
Ender2070intel got ahead of them  by faking their quad coresSep 19 07:12
Ender2070while amd made natives that were still slowerSep 19 07:12
Diablo-D3AMD is currently shipping 45nm, Intel is currently shipping 45nm and very early 32nm.Sep 19 07:13
Ender2070A intel Q6600 (2.4Ghz) overclocked to 3.0Ghz (with stock cooling, running at stock temps :P), would outperform every AMD we through at it from the phenom 1 seriesSep 19 07:13
Diablo-D3they JUST started shipping very high end 32nm parts.Sep 19 07:13
Ender2070this was at Canada ComputersSep 19 07:13
Diablo-D3so its not like AMD is behind here.Sep 19 07:13
Ender2070they aren't shipping 32nmSep 19 07:14
Ender2070= behindSep 19 07:14
Diablo-D3they are skipping 32nmSep 19 07:14
Ender2070good for them, they won't have the most efficient cpuSep 19 07:14
Ender2070untill thenSep 19 07:14
Diablo-D3their cpu is already more efficient than Intel's 32nm shit.Sep 19 07:14
Ender2070bullshitSep 19 07:14
Diablo-D3efficiency is measured as performance/wattSep 19 07:14
Diablo-D3Intel really fucked up with i7s.Sep 19 07:15
Ender2070ill test you with a voltage meter any daySep 19 07:15
Diablo-D3and btw, that 32nm part is their 6 core shitSep 19 07:15
Diablo-D3all their normal consumer stuff is still 45Sep 19 07:15
Ender2070by the time amd has 32nm, intel will have smallerSep 19 07:15
Diablo-D3AMD isnt doing 32Sep 19 07:16
Ender2070whats nextSep 19 07:16
Diablo-D3they're going straight to 22 afiakSep 19 07:16
Ender2070intel had 45nm last yearSep 19 07:16
Ender2070i  bet you intel has 22 or better before amdSep 19 07:16
Diablo-D3So what?Sep 19 07:16
Diablo-D3fab size is an expense.Sep 19 07:16
Diablo-D3If it doesn't bring enough performance/watt change, its not worth the money.Sep 19 07:17
Ender2070a smaller chip requires less powerSep 19 07:17
Diablo-D3AMD is smarter than you, thats for sure.Sep 19 07:17
Diablo-D3sure, less power, but requires more money.Sep 19 07:17
Ender2070thats why intel cpus cost moreSep 19 07:17
Ender2070amd is selling you overclocked old technologySep 19 07:17
Diablo-D3yes, and thats why intel fails performance/costSep 19 07:17
Diablo-D3AMD continually makes CPUs that have more efficient designsSep 19 07:18
Ender2070if price isn't my limiting factor, i'd take intel any daySep 19 07:18
Diablo-D3thus dont need to keep throwing out perfectly good fabs.Sep 19 07:18
Ender2070personally ill buy AMD at homeSep 19 07:18
Diablo-D3price is _always_ a factorSep 19 07:18
Diablo-D3Im not going to buy a $1000 cpu, I dont care what Intel thinksSep 19 07:18
Ender2070a large business willSep 19 07:18
Ender2070they aren't cheapos like usSep 19 07:18
Diablo-D3a large business will not.Sep 19 07:18
Diablo-D3they will buy what is most cost effective.Sep 19 07:19
Ender2070then why is intel crushing amd?Sep 19 07:19
Diablo-D3intel isntSep 19 07:19
Ender2070it is more cost effectiveSep 19 07:19
Ender2070sure they pay more for the cpu itselfSep 19 07:19
Diablo-D3AMD sells more to enterprise than Intel does.Sep 19 07:19
Ender2070they save money by using less electricitySep 19 07:19
Diablo-D3more electricity, actuallySep 19 07:19
Ender2070more performance per wattSep 19 07:19
Diablo-D3since they have to buy more intel machines to keep upSep 19 07:20
Diablo-D3or buy very expensive high watt partsSep 19 07:20
Ender2070intels stuff is fasterSep 19 07:20
Ender2070are you talking on the server?Sep 19 07:20
Diablo-D3intel's stuff that IS faster costs more watts for the performance you get.Sep 19 07:20
Ender2070opteron wins thereSep 19 07:20
Diablo-D3anyhow, Im going to eat.Sep 19 07:20

twitterHere's an interesting comment from an AC.  The problem with Linux and (F)OSS in Switzerland is manifold:- Microsoft has a strong lobbying group in Switzerland that figuratively "bought" several members of the parliament (even members of the socialist party, e.g. Mrs Pascale Bruderer, who worked for Microsoft Switzerland for a couple of years)Sep 19 14:23
twitter- Microsoft's tentacles even reach out to the Federal Council (Microsoft has strong ties to the current President of the Swiss Confederation, Mrs Doris Leuthard)Sep 19 14:23
twitter- Mr Stefan Meierhans, Swiss "Preisüberwacher" ("Mr Price", chief of one of the Swiss antitrust authorities), is a former PR expert and lobbyist of Microsoft Switzerland. He was appointed by Mrs Doris Leuthard (surprise, surprise).Sep 19 14:23
twitter- A couple of days ago, Mrs Leuthard announced the establishment of a new eEconomy Board [e-economy.ch] organization that is supposed to offer IT advice to the Swiss government and its related organizations. The appointed chief of this organization is the current CEO of Microsoft Switzerland, Mr Peter Waser. Other representatives of big US closed source software vendors are part of the board, but not a single representative of a local opeSep 19 14:23

gnufreexI realy think it is stupid to do all that work just to reimplement Be OS.Sep 19 23:38
gnufreexWhat I like about Hurd is that it is multi-server micro kernelSep 19 23:39
cubevectorwell, I thought I'd give it a goSep 19 23:39
gnufreexThat means it can implement other OS interfaces in user spaceSep 19 23:39
gnufreexSo, it is posible to make it work like Amiga OS one daySep 19 23:39
gnufreexAnd as Linux anotherSep 19 23:39
