Sounds like a great way to collect a company of low performers. Since all the people who can do great things will go elsewhere, where they will actually be paid for being above average in their skill …

I wonder if, unlike Transmeta, they will let you run native code on it too. Transmeta could not do it for technical reasons. As far as i know, the underlying arch was designed ONLY as a JIT target, an…

I would love to see some details on how they plan to get their IPC raised by 40% That is a bold claim!

Sadly, this just formalizes what has been the norm for a while now.

Only if cops have reason to believe you have committed or about to commit a crime. They are NOT allowed to lie about this suspicion if you ask them directly!

"Needs"? Why?

The reason you do not understand is simple: there is no logic here. Google is not a monopoly. The parallels drawn here (by EU and by people on HN respectively) are: 1. Microsoft. This is wrong since w…

Refuse to talk to cops (always, not just about jaywalking). Do not provide ID ever (unless driving, since it also happens to be your DL) and do not answer questions as to whether you have ID. The amou…
