I think one reason they wanted their own browser to be big was that they believed there was a chance of the browser replacing the OS. This is why they feared Java also. Many people today spend more time in the web browser than any other program on…

the are different levels of geeks. There are dumb geeks and then there are smart geeks. Dumb geeks are the worst off. They have bad looks. They are not smart. Smart geeks are a different class of geek. They have brains. They are geekish not b…

salary depends greatly also on the area and the type of company you are with. Companies like Apple, IBM, and Microsoft pay a premium for their workers because they want the best to stay competitive against the other big players. If you work at a …

[quote]Originally posted by AirSluf: The starting salary is lower than the median, what does that mean. Half the salaries paid in SV or Nashua are below that point. Where do you think the starting salaries are? In the top half? With this much une…

After some more researching I have found out the the SV companies are really lowballing me. Median income in San Jose, CA is 82,000 dollars. While median income in Nashua, NH is 60,000. That is over a 20K difference and this is considering that N…

Don't want to start a new thread on this, so I will ask here in case anybody knows. I've been reading AI for a while now and just registered for a forums account today. Now I can't even access the front page. It just redirects me here. I guess i…

nope, no experience. Went straight from B.S. into the M.S. program. I've lived out East all my life, so don't know much about living costs in Silicon Valley other than it is high. I was looking and rent was going to be over 1K a month and buying …

To Programmer, Outsider, and others. Do you guys have confirmation from spec papers, white papers, or other tech docs that confirms that all the I/O is going through independently? On all current chipsets that I can think of with a snoppy bus,…

I think one thing they are trying to improve now before mass production is to improve their life span. Right now they die after a couple thousand hours or something like that.

123: I did not realize that the processing of the laser pickup was continuous on LD video. There is no reason that a pulse-FM signal can't be stored digitally though. You just end up losing accuracy at the end-points of transition from low to h…

LaserDiscs are not analog. This is a big myth. LD video may not be like DVD video, but it is definitely not analog. LD video and sometimes sound is stored as an analog signal converted to a digital format using a form of pulse FM. Basically it…

[quote] - Code size does not increase, data size increases. - Most data structures won't get any larger, only those which actually use 64-bit ints; but if they need 64-bit ints then they would have had to be that big even on a 32-bit processors. Sl…

I think that the roadmap use to have two "G5" chips the 75XX and 85XX. I think that the 7500 was a 32-bit chip while the 8500 was a 64-bit chip. Dorsal M posted a message about apple using the 7500 in current prototypes, so looks like the first "G…
