... and notice that I've been running my second processor idle for too long. The most simplist point is -- when I click it, I don't want to wait!

Our cable company finally was able to roll out a cable to our trailer-park. The speed increase is amazing -- I average around 150 kilobytes a second on downloads. However, I don't really notice any difference in real-time quotes from a 57.6, unless I'm doing a lot of simultaneous surfing...

You might get randomly lucky.

Well, that's a good point, but I think that when you speak of a "god," then you must assume that there are aspects of this state of existence that go well beyond our simple causality and logic reasoning. There doesn't have to be a creator for god because god exists outside of time and space...

While I understand that you are not religious, calling the pope a "fool" is a bit extreme. The man speaks eight languages fluently and has traveled to more places in his life than most people will ever visit in their lifetime. The Pope's life is actually very interesting and the current Pope...

I believe you are talking about their research on tubules within the brain. Neurons alone shouldn't be able to account for the vast abilities of the human mind. Also, there is still that problem of "consciousness" that will never be understood. How does consciousness come about within the...

Hard-Drives are still the weakest link in my opinion. We're still using a mechanical device to retrieve and store information from a magnetic platter. Even the slowest electronic memory would run rings around today's hard-drives. I'd like to see some type of electronic storage device...

Where is the money? Koslowski's shower curtain = $27,000 Koslowski's waste basket = $6,000 Koslowski's front door-knob = $3,500 Ebber's Ranch = $25 million Ebber's Second Ranch = $10 million Ebber's Autumn Home = $5 million Sullivan's new mansion = $42 million Now multiply all...

There is no religion that can save us, since we are all going to someone else's hell.

I disagree. The programs themselves don't decide what processor they run on -- the OS does. Windows XP would assign each program to whatever processor it determines. The virus-scan is just one example. If I wanted to convert a DVD to MPEG4 format in real-time, I would definately need...

True. Kind of begs the question of why they didn't bother putting in some extra cache since that new chip sure does cost some extra CASH.

The 5x-10x example was just an extreme real-world example of how someone could benefit with two CPU's while running concurrent applications. The Hyperthreading chips actually have a second copy of almost every critical function on the chip. According to Intel's white paper on HD, it is...

Let the market explain it to him ...

Very fun game -- Try to get the pimp Jake laid through multiple adventures! http://www.romp.com How far can you toss the spear? http://games.alentus.com/games/makai/games/speartoss.asp?id= Make Cool Machines! http://www.sodaplay.com/constructor/ How fast are your reflexes...

I'd hit it six ways from Sunday.

You would be better off getting a motherboard that supports hyperthreading (like the ASUS P4PE). For around $200, this motherboard has onboard gigabit ethernet, Soundmax sound system, the new Serial ATA interface for hard-drives (no more thick cables! yay!) and a host of other features...

I couldn't afford my own -- I had to borrow one from a friend. Sloppy seconds I know, but what can you do when the money is tight?

Just the life-sized, blood sucking, "leak in my wallet", money-hoarding ones.

If I remember correctly, it has to do with some high-school kid hooking up with his older teacher ... or maybe college?
