BingoBoingo: From

turns out at
the right angle face is blurred
BingoBoingo: Not in

assbot: Stonewood's Eclypt Drive:
the AES-256 Data Fortress
assbot: Mulling Iraq options: Begin by
telling me which of
these groups you want
to bomb
decimation: I need
to read Eco's book, I've seen it mentioned in many places
assbot: Loper OS » A Country of Which Nothing is Known but
the Name.
BingoBoingo: I keep
telling people an OpenSparc *nix netbook would sell
decimation: but it's probably
the case
that if you are correct -
that
these microcode patches may weaken usg's own infrastructure
decimation: it is odd
that one of
the companies doesn't
try
to be open
to get more market share
decimation: note
that very little progress has been made
decimation: that's pretty much
the mission statement of
the nsa, gov't labs, et al
decimation: if you
total
the amount of money spent on microsoft over
the years, USG could have built its own secure OS and secure hardware
to run it on
TheNewDeal: that's like
the people who clip out all
the coupons and
then go shopping
to save money
decimation: this
turns into "everyone" uses ms
to
transact business, we have no choice...
decimation: "you want
to get paid? well, you better write your
TPS reports in MS so we can give you
tax dollars"
decimation: yeah
that's
true,
the only organization on earth
that will voluntarily use ms is
the usg
BingoBoingo: The piece of software most damaging
to progress in computing in history has probably been Microsoft Office
decimation: except now microsoft is
the out-of-touch monopoly with no ideas
decimation: yeah
this whole affair reminds me very much of os/2
decimation: at least intel can lease fabs
to
third parties
decimation: but
that's also looking like a pretty niche market
decimation: there are some games and business software
that
they have lock-in on
decimation: microsoft is pretty much in
the same position
decimation: they still might sell some low end chips
to idiots who want
to run word or whatever
decimation: so if
there is a serious linux based alternative cpu for
them --
they are gone
decimation: and
the scientific computing market is not wed
to microshit
decimation: but I don't
think intel is going
to survive on xeon chips alone
decimation: yeah
there's still
the "computing" computing market
that mostly uses xeons
decimation: even
those xscale chips
that flopped weren't x86 as I recall
decimation: intel's afraid
that google et. al. will switch
to arm in
the server room - leaving
the x86 market
to ... nobody at all
decimation: well, it's already happened on
the mobile world - which is
the only world selling chips in large quantities
decimation: aside from
the journalist,
there is an implict admission from intel here ... "We have no idea how
to organize
the
transistors on our chip, here - have an FPGA"
BingoBoingo: Ah, features like an MMU aren't enough anymore. Now your need
the pretense of "fast"
decimation: no, but somehow according
to
the journalist companies like google would prefer
to buy
this intel fpga/cpu rather
than an arm chip
decimation: but...
this is intel's solution
to "open" arm competition. Why would
they start with a proprietary
toolchain?
