Sounds pretty good - I'll start with that, and keep a Mendicino Cabernet in reserve along with the Merlot....
The rest of you - crazy talk.
"a 64-bit Wintel platform, NOT Itanium" - are you on drugs, man? An Itanium running Windows isn't 64-bit Wintel? Are you crazy?
"The 64-bit x86 version should run more than 90% of today's apps, but it has not been released yet." - are you on even better drugs? It's not released, but it's based on the 64-bit IA64 code that's been shipping for years, and any one with an email address can download and install it.
Where do I download 64-bit Mac OS X ??????? Nowhere, right?
I'm still looking for the IA64 Windows XP release you continue to put forward a Windows OS release ahead of Mac OS X Tiger, because that's what you've been communicating in your posts.
You also haven't answered my question as to whether you actually write code but, no matter, I wouldn't believe you, regardless of what you say.
Thirdly, you've given no response to the delta between Altivec and SSE, as mentioned above concerning 128-bit logical operations. You make assertions, people counter with facts, and you just move on to your next unsupported rant. Dennis Miller with no conscious.
This all reminds me of a sit-com promo I saw the other night where a husband is trying to "command" his wife, she laughs at him, he smiles and says: "I feel like I ran out of bullets and just threw the gun at you!" I'm sure I didn't get it right, but close enough.
Desperate posts to support desperate opinions. In short: Whatever AidenShaw ( blah, blah, blah or let's have more pedantic AidenShaw 64-bit drivel ).
