I'd rather drive over you with Tiger Tanks!

I have the beta... >.> <.<

Nah, it sounds like teams can negotiate directly with the Russian teams to make an arrangement. TSN mentions Pittsburgh is doing this for Malkin.

Hah! I have played that too with good ol

Itanium was targeted at a very different market segment (although it may not have started life that way). The mid-range and high-end server market had been using 64-bit machines for ages: Sun Ultra SPARC, IBM P-series, DEC Alpha etc. Itanium was Intel/HP's attempt to play in this segment. Machines built around these processors usually had Multi-Chip Modules (in which each chip is sometimes multi-core e.g. IBM Power5), fancy interconnection networks (e.g. Alpha), huge caches (20-30MB is not uncommon on an Itanium system), loads of memory bandwidth, NUMA, etc. etc. However, these servers were usually too expensive for small businesses. Therefore, Intel had always had a market for the Xeon line: relatively low-end 32-bit server parts. AMD was technically the first to step up the ante in this particular low-end server segment and introduce the Opteron as the first 64-bit x86 server processor. Intel's "reply" to this was the 64-bit Xeon, not the Itanium. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know the Itanium wasn't meant to compete with AMD's 64-bit solution. I was unaware that the Xeon was an attempt to "reply" to the Opteron though.

Because the person would have already played through it and experienced all this stuff.

Yeah, the GM goals are retarded. Sorry owner, for netting you millions in playoff revenue and giving you the most successful team in recent history. Sucks to be you.

I don't recall being Swedish "

No Vic 20 for me. I was 4 when I was playing on the Apple ][e.

I preferred AMD's approach as it would be easier to integrate 64-bit chips, as they still had excellent 32-bit support. Given the installed base of 32-bit architecture, it's not surprising it has not been a speedy transition to 64-bit.

If you really were old, you'd have cited CGA. I remember playing Test Drive a long time ago. Everybody always picked the Ferrari Testarossa because it had the highest top speed, but I was the first to beat it in the Lotus Turbo Esprit And let's not forget the green monochrome of the early Apple ][e. I was a big fan of Rescue Raiders. Choplifter eat your heart out.

Intels solution was the Itanium was it not?

It may have something to do with these other people not being you. FTR I don't do speed runs either.

Last time I played that game, I got the patch from the Interplay site.

If that's the case, then why did I need to d/l the JRE to get source files to run at work, which uses Linux? I could maybe see if you had commented on running it on a Solaris machine or something....but Linux? If it was just Linux, then it certainly is not running at that low level of a language, and certainly not comparable to assembly, given that different processor architectures will have different assembly languages. Otherwise, I'd have problems running code compiled on the Sun SPARC versus the x86 AMD machine.

Yeah, well I put off my travel insurance so long that I'm getting phone calls about it....but I'm seriously busy at the moment. Ugh...

I'm pretty sure it made it to theaters. IIRC, Edge from the WWE has a cameo appearance in it.

Heh, human rights only come when people have a full belly. When people are starving to death, little things like human rights become a second thought to that little thing known as survival.

Sounds like Mikhnov has been granted a release from his Russian club.

It better be! Man, I need to double check for bugs now! :D

I haven't been following the PS3 development too much, but Apple's latest OS is built on top of Unix.

I'm thinking what a relief it is that I likely do not have strep throat.

Eastside Hockey Manager has made me a better person.

Gameplay rules all anyways.

Meh, clearly I didn't know about it. I remember it now though. For some reason, I remembered the game as Call of Cthulu though.
