DaemonFCIntel motherboards are also much more expensive than AMD no matter where you buy themOct 12 00:12
DaemonFCso you can't just compare similarly priced AMD and Intel CPUs because the Intel motherboard will cost about 25% more than the equivalent AMD oneOct 12 00:12

schestowitzApple has like 0% market share in most countriesOct 12 00:14
schestowitzUnless Apple accepts inferior hardware and makes Leopard work on 'commodity' PCs they will just stay an expensive gadget for people with more money than brainsOct 12 00:15

DaemonFCI've put OSX86 on my PC to play with, but I didn't keep it longOct 12 00:16
DaemonFCthey were worth using before the PC got Windows 95Oct 12 00:16

DaemonFCit's like saying, I can get 95% of potential sales with just a Windows version, why port to Mac for 4%?Oct 12 00:23

mutex_thats good, it's good to see Ada there too :)Oct 12 01:49
oiaohmMajor bottle neck of gcc is being handled.Oct 12 01:50
oiaohmA new link-time optimizer << Lack of that has been a major secuirty and performance problem.Oct 12 01:51
mutex_ahh ok, I have to say GCC is one of the really nice things to come out of the GNU. It's very popular in industry.Oct 12 01:52
oiaohmGcc has been the worse complier to use if building some secure.Oct 12 01:53
oiaohmICC and Portland group both have had link-time opt for a long time.Oct 12 01:53
mutex_thats true, but thats the nature of the C language as much as anything, C give you lots of power but also more risk.Oct 12 01:53
oiaohmBetter the complier less risk from COct 12 01:54
oiaohmSince the complier spots the errors and yells at you.Oct 12 01:54
mutex_there is little heap management in pure C, unlike things like Java that have garbage collection and suchOct 12 01:54
oiaohmDepends on the complier mutex_Oct 12 01:54
mutex_yes, regarding the quality of the compiler, and it's "strictness".Oct 12 01:55
oiaohmportland group does support memory recycling so reducing malloc and free calls.Oct 12 01:55
oiaohmMost of the advantage of Java over c come from poor compliers of COct 12 01:56
mutex_yes, thats true, one of the troubles with C compilers, or GCC is that it tries to be all things to all people, it's hard to make a good compiler that will be good for all CPU types.Oct 12 01:57
oiaohmNot exactly the issue.Oct 12 01:58
DaemonFCwe could solve most of our problems by kicking the rest of the Republicans out of officeOct 12 01:58
DaemonFCI keep telling people thisOct 12 01:58
oiaohmGcc did not have a clean path for optimisation mutex_Oct 12 01:58
oiaohmClean path makes supporting more cpu types simple.Oct 12 01:59
mutex_yes, thats trueOct 12 01:59
oiaohmClean path going to be in 4.5.0 gcc also allows optimisations and audit code to be plugins in gcc.Oct 12 02:00

oiaohmMonder day busybox provides awkOct 12 02:54

oiaohmaustralia cubezzzOct 12 03:21
cubezzzah right, I think you told me that beforeOct 12 03:22
oiaohmWe have lots of good laws.  Like you go to get a drug the pharmacy must offer you the cheepest form if it no matter what the doc writes.Oct 12 03:22
oiaohmSo not as controls by big drug makers.Oct 12 03:23
cubezzzI think we have access to generic drugs tooOct 12 03:23
oiaohmThen to get used by the medicare system drug maker must agree to release drug after particular time to generic production.Oct 12 03:23
oiaohmcubezzz: access is one thing knowing there is a generic on the market is another.Oct 12 03:24
DaemonFCthe politicians that have taken drug cartel bribes should be dragged out into the street and shot, that's my personal opinion and I'm sorry if it offends youOct 12 03:24

DaemonFChospitals find out every way they can to charge you 1,000% premiums for everything they doOct 12 03:30
DaemonFCthat ER bill shouldn't have reasonably been more than $300Oct 12 03:31

cubezzzcompetition should keep things in checkOct 12 03:31
DaemonFCnow I'm going to be heckled by collection agencies and maybe another lawsuit before the judge can dismiss the debt since I'm insolventOct 12 03:31
DaemonFCthe judge already dismissed $10,000 in medical bills for that reason in 2008Oct 12 03:32
DaemonFCstill, getting sued is not funOct 12 03:32
DaemonFCand I was't even conscious to authorize treatmentOct 12 03:32
DaemonFCand during the few minutes I was conscious, I was deliriousOct 12 03:33
mutex_if you get sick and go broke, sounds like a reflection of the system being broke, if you cant afford to pay, you cant afford it, you should not have to decare bankrupt just to "live".Oct 12 03:33
DaemonFCmutex_, It wasn't my fault, periodOct 12 03:34
DaemonFCif I had been some fucking idiot that was doing drugs or skateboarded down a flight of stairs, I'd say they were within their rights to demand paymentOct 12 03:34
DaemonFCbottom line is that I had a medical emergency through no fault of my ownOct 12 03:34
mutex_It never is, it's not your fault you got sick, but if you cant pay, either way the docs are  not getting any money, but you still have to suffer and go to courtOct 12 03:34
DaemonFCmutex_, You're right, they're going to drag me over the coals just to find out that they still aren't getting paid because there's no money to give themOct 12 03:35
DaemonFCit's insaneOct 12 03:35
DaemonFCit's like they're shouting "Bleed Turnip Bleed!!!!"Oct 12 03:36
DaemonFCold people that have millions of dollars get MedicareOct 12 03:36
mutex_yes, exactly my point, but you dont just take Doc's time, you take you're and laywers and judges as well, it is insane.Oct 12 03:36
DaemonFCwhy don't poor people who really need it?Oct 12 03:36
DaemonFCIndiana's governor set up some little fake insurance plan that hardly covers anythingOct 12 03:37
DaemonFCI'm not signing up for it cause it would bar me from going to the free clinic and wouldn't cover hardly anythingOct 12 03:38
DaemonFCit's worse than the insurance that Walmart gives to tempsOct 12 03:38
DaemonFC:)Oct 12 03:38
mutex_so every pay you pay I guess a fairly large amount of money for health insurance, what happends to all that money ? if you get ill. the health industry must be so rich by now, sounds like a scam.Oct 12 03:38
DaemonFCmutex_, Even when I am on Medicare after next May, I'm still going to request generics that are on the $4 list at WalmartOct 12 03:39
DaemonFCI don't feel like wasting Medicare's money to enrich fatcats at big drug cartelsOct 12 03:40
DaemonFCI just won't do that if I can possibly avoid itOct 12 03:40
mutex_all my scripts are generic, and quite expensive, but I pay no more than $5.50 Per script, One that lasts a month costs $57 but I pay $5.50 only, but I choose generic as well.Oct 12 03:41
DaemonFCyeah, pharma does stupid shit to renew their patentsOct 12 03:42
DaemonFCone of the drugs I'm on is an old one that's $4 a month as a genericOct 12 03:42
DaemonFCbut the new patented version is $412 a monthOct 12 03:42
DaemonFCdifference is you take the new one once a day instead of twiceOct 12 03:42
mutex_If I go the my local doctor, a week or so later, I get a cheque in the mail, but it's not for me :( it's for me to give to my Doctor !Oct 12 03:42

oiaohmThere are a lot of drugs in that class.Oct 12 03:45
DaemonFCthe doctors won't even tell you about the older version and the genericOct 12 03:45
oiaohmWhere it the slow release method that is expensive as hell.Oct 12 03:45
DaemonFCthe only reason I knew to demand it is cause I researched my condition online before going to the doctorOct 12 03:45
DaemonFCthe doc tried to act like the $412 bottle of pills was my only optionOct 12 03:46
oiaohmHere you would not have to.Oct 12 03:46

DaemonFCoiaohm, I will not go back to that doctor, everOct 12 03:46
DaemonFCI told her that she is a shyster and a cheatOct 12 03:46
DaemonFCpatients are leaving that office right and leftOct 12 03:47
DaemonFCshe had to advertise for new patients in the newspaper the past month or soOct 12 03:47
DaemonFCso apparently I'm not the only pissed off patientOct 12 03:47
DaemonFCshe tries to never give you refills so she can ding you $40 a month for follow up visits just to get new pillsOct 12 03:48
DaemonFCnice, huh?Oct 12 03:48
mutex_my local GP when I went to him 3 years ago, told me I had a skin infection, and gave me anit-biotics, for MONTHS, until I was eventually sent to a specialist (once it got much worse), only to be told it was a VERY serious cancer.!Oct 12 03:48
DaemonFCthat's the only reason for the follow up, she makes $40 for 1 minute of her time to write the new scriptOct 12 03:48
mutex_I wont go back to him again either.Oct 12 03:48
DaemonFCmy mom recommended her doctor for when I get my MedicareOct 12 03:49
DaemonFCher doctor checks the $4 generics list and prescribes those firstOct 12 03:49
DaemonFCso I think I'll start seeing that doctorOct 12 03:49
mutex_my Doc now is chinese, and he's very good, actually interested in what is wrong.Oct 12 03:50
DaemonFCI'm so angry at the people responsible for this mess that it makes my blood boil just to think that they get away with it, or with conning stupid voters who don't have any health coverage into voting RepublicanOct 12 03:50

AdusEither that, or an error screen. Usually E74, which is general Hardware fault.Oct 12 10:42
MinceR3 fourths of a red ring, actually. :>Oct 12 10:43
AdusThe earlier generations of Xbox 360 hardware were unreliable, due to a design flaw. That's something Microsoft have admitted.Oct 12 10:43
AdusYes, well, 3 of the quads light upOct 12 10:43

mutex_happens with alot of things, NASA not fitting O-Rings properly, Tocoma Narrows bridge, Toshiba laptop batteries, to you go on forever.Oct 12 10:45
AdusI'm not sure what you expect Microsoft to do. They've extended the repair period for those failures to 3 years, free of charge worldwide. Have improved reliability on later models etcOct 12 10:46
MinceRah, the classic "equally evil" defense.Oct 12 10:46
MinceRi don't expect them to do anything good, with their history.Oct 12 10:46
AdusWell, in that situation, what should they have done?Oct 12 10:46
MinceRthey should have closed shop and got out of business years ago.Oct 12 10:46
mutex_equally  evil :) funny term, I guess you mean it's ok for everyone else right ?Oct 12 10:46
MinceRmutex_: i was hoping you could come up with a less dated (and less lame) excuse.Oct 12 10:47
AdusAs much as you hate Microsoft, that wasn't really an option for a viable business. "Yeh, we'll just close up"Oct 12 10:47
MinceRit isn't a viable business anyway, just a criminal organization.Oct 12 10:48

DaemonFCthe EEG results are in tomorrowOct 12 18:06
DaemonFCthat may shed some light on thingsOct 12 18:06
DaemonFCAll I can do is guess until I see that, but if my brain activity is back to normal, I'm going to go with the sinus infection as the most likely causeOct 12 18:07

schestowitz"So let me get this straight, I’m probably $4,000+ in the hole for being taken into the emergency room as a law abiding citizen, but if I was a rapist in a state prison who had the same two seizures, I’d get free, quality healthcare?"Oct 12 18:10

schestowitzThe issue is getting highly /skilled/ onesOct 12 18:15
schestowitzAnd what happens to the lesser skills who are not 'imported'Oct 12 18:16
schestowitzHealth care, unlike IT, can't be offshoredOct 12 18:16
DaemonFCmeh, there's a serious brain drain because of the alarming cost of medical schoolOct 12 18:16
DaemonFCso we just import foreign doctorsOct 12 18:16

schestowitzNever mind if all the lecture notes are onlineOct 12 18:18
schestowitzSo charge $40,000 per half a dozen of examinationsOct 12 18:19
DaemonFCWould YOU spend $30,000 for a 2 year forestry degree?Oct 12 18:19
schestowitzAnd rank up some schools to ensure the kids of rich families get the 'better' degreesOct 12 18:19
schestowitzSame here in OxbridgeOct 12 18:19
schestowitzIt's a private clubOct 12 18:19
schestowitzPoor need not applyOct 12 18:19
DaemonFCthere's like 5 jobs in the state for that which pay roughly the same as being an assistant manager at McDonaldsOct 12 18:19
DaemonFCthere's really no practical application for half the degrees they offerOct 12 18:19
schestowitz[18:18] <DaemonFC> well, there's also plenty of worthless degrees that people spend all kinds of money onOct 12 18:20
schestowitzSome lady sued recentlyOct 12 18:20
schestowitzShe couldn't get a job with a degreeOct 12 18:20
schestowitzSo she sued the educator :-)Oct 12 18:20
schestowitzIt's like people who ssued McDonaldsOct 12 18:20
DaemonFCshe should have looked at the job market for people with that degreeOct 12 18:20
schestowitz"Stop making me want to eat!!!!!!!!!"Oct 12 18:20
DaemonFCit's totally her faultOct 12 18:20
schestowitzIgnorance... you can't sue someone for exploiting stupidity, can youOct 12 18:20
DaemonFCthere's nothing wrong with picking something you like to do, but you should also make a living wage that compensates you for tuitionOct 12 18:21
schestowitzTuition too is someone's jobOct 12 18:21
schestowitzThat money goes somewhereOct 12 18:21
schestowitzBut here's my issueOct 12 18:21
DaemonFCif you're getting a forestry degree, just go get a McDonalds job and save yourself the troubleOct 12 18:22
DaemonFCI mean reallyOct 12 18:22
schestowitzIf the tuition pays for research and all, how come the public gets no results by industry funders do?Oct 12 18:22
DaemonFCcolleges are a jokeOct 12 18:22
schestowitzANd if taxpayers pay for resarch, how come companies make patents from it and the research kept locked away from those who funded it?Oct 12 18:22
schestowitzAll these questions they don't want you to askOct 12 18:23
DaemonFCmost people who can afford to go are just assholes who party and use drugs while parents pay the whole damned thing for them to float around on a 2.0 GPAOct 12 18:23
schestowitzI occasionally ask that and people here cannot provide answersOct 12 18:23
schestowitzSame when you ask people about the illegal Israeli occupation. They can't offer answerOct 12 18:23
schestowitzThere are many scams out thereOct 12 18:23
schestowitzUSPTOOct 12 18:23
schestowitzBig, big scamOct 12 18:23
schestowitzProtection for big phramas, the IBMs, etc,.Oct 12 18:23
DaemonFCno worse than any other patent systemOct 12 18:24
DaemonFCnot saying it isn't bad, I'm saying the US isn't the only country with a corrupt patent systemOct 12 18:24
schestowitzIt's funny seeing the small 'inventors' thinking the USPTO is for themOct 12 18:24
DaemonFCfar from itOct 12 18:24
schestowitzTHey blow $10k and 5 years of their lives acquiring a patentOct 12 18:24
schestowitzThen, they need to garden itOct 12 18:24
schestowitzANd what do they get? Nothing.Oct 12 18:24
DaemonFCI don't like the USPTO, my dad owns 9 patents that he doesn't have the rights to useOct 12 18:24
DaemonFChow's that for irony?Oct 12 18:25
schestowitzThey can't sue companies with bgi protfolioOct 12 18:25
DaemonFCThomson owns exclusive rights to all of themOct 12 18:25
schestowitzSo they auction it to some troll for puny amounts of $$Oct 12 18:25
DaemonFCif my dad could enforce them as an individual, he'd be getting royalties from TV makers, DVD player makers, MP3 implementersOct 12 18:26

schestowitz""The European Patent Office is an executive organisation, it deals especially with patent applicants, as such, its view of the world may be biased. As an executive organisation, its interpretative powers are very limited. The European Patent Convention excludes computer programs, it is outside the EPO's power to change this." --Ante WesselsOct 12 18:27
DaemonFCthe patent system rarely protects individuals who actually invented somethingOct 12 18:27
DaemonFCthey're usually bogus and deliberately vague and owned by big companiesOct 12 18:27
schestowitzhttp://www.stallman.org/archives/2008-jul-oct.html#24%20September%202008%20%28Patent%20Office%20on%20Strike%29Oct 12 18:27
DaemonFCI'd say 95% of them or moreOct 12 18:27
schestowitz“Staff at the European Patent Office went on strike accusing the organization of corruption: specifically, stretching the standards for patents in order to make more money.Oct 12 18:27
schestowitz“One of the ways that the EPO has done this is by issuing software patents in defiance of the treaty that set it up.”Oct 12 18:27
schestowitz"The European Patent Office is a Corrupt, Malicious Organisation Which Should Not Exist"--RMSOct 12 18:28
schestowitzSo the EPO has its problems too, not just USPTOOct 12 18:28
schestowitzAnd with stuff like aCTA being cooked, the same cartels convergeOct 12 18:28
