I wonder if AMD will decide to exist the space, focus on UNIX or whip out some crazy hyperthreading technology that will make Intel sorry that they went down this path. Those are the three options that I see here. If AMD worked with Oracle, they could make a proc that did some pretty amazing threading. Intel is actually second to last (AMD being last) in hyperthreading performance. It's IBM and Oracle that know hyperthreading.

Would AMD do that? They weren't too far away from being on the brink of bankruptcy just a few years ago. I'd be surprised if Oracle or IBM would be interested in a partnership at this point.

Why would AMD being on the "brink" be of any actual concern to IBM or Oracle? That seems to be an odd thing for them to care about, especially if it was years ago. I don't see the relevance.
Would AMD? They've already turned to ARM and are leaving the AMD64 space in many areas. If they want to compete in the Intel/Microsoft world of AMD64 platforms they need to do something. Either get out completely or hit back with something amazing.
As AMD is one of the big RISC vendors now along with IBM and Oracle, it would make sense for them to work together.

Trying to figure out why the f*ck my wife's Android based ebook reader (rebranded Boyue T62+) can't see wifi networks anymore.
Hardware looks good so far, my first thought was a disconnected antenna:
Stopped working just a few hours ago, without any firmware update or changes to my wifi.

Interesting log (via Android Debug Bridge):
Guess I will need to dig a bit deeper

Just got tickets for next week's RiffTrax live event... The 1962 classic "Carnival of Souls", live riffed by the MST3K guys (Mike, Bill, and Corbett). Their live shows are always side-splitting.

Doing some UNIX management today.

I need more coffee. It's been a sleepy day.

iPad? Use a bigger hammer and tap much, much harder. Then provide me with your banking info and I'll gladly siphon off the annual iCrap charge you've been paying to apple... that way you won't notice anything different. Hundreds upon hundreds of dollars will be taken from you every year, but you'll continue to get nothing for it. Just like buying into the new iHype every time it comes out.
You're welcome.

So for like half the time you're actually living in your own house for the year, you're not in the master suite? Only @scottalanmiller
