NSA force CPU makers to limit CPU'S?

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-03 18:51

It just seems to me that multi-core processors are a waste, when that space could be better used by a single bigger processor core.

Anyone that's ever designed a circuit realizes that redundancy is redundant.  4 processors !/= 4x the power.  Fractional improvements are fractional of what normal should be.

The difference between what you're saying and the truth is that you're making excuses for an industry that that has been prevented from making considerable improvements by it's government because they can't beat anything above 90-bit encryption.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Remember my comparison where the same version of Maya is run on my 5 year old piece of shit, and the exact same software and scene is made on the best, most modern, personal computer that money can buy, and the improvement is pitiful?
Sigh..
Now I'll take a moment here and question myself
"How do you explain computers & programming to someone who has NO FUCKING IDEA abou the subject?"
You can't. I'll attempt, knowing from before my attempt will fall on deaf ears.

For starters, let's assume the program is a spell, and that the computer is a wizard "casting" the "spell".
Does the spell get more powerful if the wizard is more experienced?
No, ofcourse, the better wizard can cast it easier, but its strength is the same.
There are also some wirardz who don't have enough mana to cast the spell.

Holy fuck, I did a good job without getting into technical minutiae. Maybe you'll actually get it.

Do they?
That's all up to the kernel and the implementation. You have no fucking clue.

Hey, can I toss something in real quick?
Well, can you?
I'm sure your great at your job, and that you worked hard to get your degree.
False assumptions, I don't work, I research, moreover it was really easy to get my PhD.
Also, you're*.
But you sound like a huge dick,
I AM.
so I can see why people don't want to listen to you.
Frankly I don't care.
If they were any wiser they'd take a moment to consider my words.
