20 years of evolution in computer

Some were amused to compare the performance of a Mac Plus (with its charming Motorola 68k processor) with that of a PC with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 + by rolling applications, many people use, ie Word and Excel.

The results are quite significant:

Check out the results! For the functions that people use most often, the 1986 vintage Mac Plus beats the 2007 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+: 9 tests to 8! Out of the 17 tests, the antique Mac won 53% of the time! Including a jaw-dropping 52 second whipping of the AMD from the time the Power button is pushed to the time the Desktop is up and useable.

We also didn't want to overly embarrass the AMD by comparing the time it takes to install the OS vs. the old Mac. The Mac's average of about a minute is dwarfed by the approximately one hour install time of Windows XP Pro.

Is this to say that the Mac Plus is a better computer than the AMD? Of course not. The technological advancements of 21 years have placed modern PCs in a completely different league of varied capacities. But the "User Experience" has not changed much in two decades. Due to bloated code that has to incorporate hundreds of functions that average users don't even know exist, let alone ever utilize, the software companies have weighed down our PCs to effectively neutralize their vast speed advantages. When we compare strictly common, everyday, basic user tasks between the Mac Plus and the AMD we find remarkable similarities in overall speed, thus it can be stated that for the majority of simple office uses, the massive advances in technology in the past two decades have brought zero advance in productivity.

And that's just plain crazy.

To Undermine Iran, Which Is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has Decided, in effect, to reconfigure icts Priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, The Administration has coöperated With Saudi Arabia's Government, Which Is Sunni, in clandestine operations That Are Intended to Weaken Hezbollah, The Shiite organization backed by Iran That Is. The U.S. has taken part in clandestine aussi operations Aimed at Iran and Its ally Syria. A by-product of activities has been "The thesis of Sunni extremist groups Bolstering espouse a militant vision That of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

Apparently, they just forgot to blame Hezbollah. Eh. Even more hilarious is that when you read it Syria is behind all this .

Fluffy Tuesday Thoughts for PKP

A recent surge of milk on the farm evident from Quebecor of everything that affects one way or another reasonable accommodation prompted me to look in the chartered Council Quebec Press something relevant to the problem. I found this.

2.3 ATTITUDE OF THE PRESS IN THE MATTER OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
2.3.1 Discrimination

According to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Quebec, any person "entitled to recognition and the exercise in full equality, rights and freedoms person, without distinction, exclusion or preference based on race, color, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, marital status, age [...], religion, political convictions, language , ethnicity or national origin, social condition, disability [...]. "

The media and information professionals should avoid cultivating or maintaining prejudices. They must avoid to use against individuals or groups, representations or terms that tend to raise hatred and contempt, to encourage violence or to offend the dignity a person or class of persons because of a discriminatory motive.

not prevented the media to report the characteristics that distinguish individuals or groups. However, this statement must be relevant and of interest groups, or be a prerequisite for understanding and consistency of information.

at any time and in any situation, reporters, commentators and editorialists should bind itself to the highest professional standards in this area.

I will consult a lawyer, just for fun. If you have an answer to the problem, do not be shy.

"

Before you cans, by cons, I would like here we tent also get rid of this problem that is habeas corpus. Haha.

U.S. official: Peace effort Lessening Aimed at Arab, EU pressure

By Shmuel Rosner , Haaretz Correspondent

U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Elliott Abrams on Thursday told a group of Jewish Republicans that the efforts the United States is now investing in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is aimed at lessening the pressure from Arabs and the Europeans, who weren't happy with the United States in its past approach. [...] Abrams explained that the talks are sometimes not more than "process for the sake of process." [...] Some of the attendees understood Abrams' comments as an assurance that the peace initiative promoted by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice doesn't have the full backing of President George W. Bush.
