i 've read some concerns that branch mis-prediction may be heavy on P4 performance -- as in most cases, the answer is in software.

Re: She authorizes two citizens to fill in the numbers for her from the voting rolls. Is there any evidence she did not simultaneously notify the dems?

That's what the lawsuit claims. And the "two citizens" were Republican campaign workers. What would you think if in Miami-Dade, the recount was performed by unsupervised Democratic campaign workers? Would that be OK?

Re: You seem to be using the same ability to "spin" ...

I posted verbatim an article commenting only that it could delay a final election result.

You aren't being rational.

AMD .13 production to start next month

AMD Dresden ships two million Athlons
By: Drew Cullen
Posted: 24/11/2000 at 10:03 GMT

Today, we take a break from producing the Pentium What4 Times, to recall our other favourite CPU maker: AMD.

The company said yesterday that cumulative shipments of Athlon chips made at Fab 30 in Germany have hit the two million mark. In September, AMD had shipped only one million units. The company aims to start operating it 0.13 micron production line in December, with the aim of getting chips onto the street in the New Year (1.33GHz anyone?).

There's plenty of room for manufacturing growth still - and, judging from AMD's recent sales results, it doesn't need to search quite so frantically to find another company, such as Motorola, to fund expansion.

Currently only 30 per cent of the floor space at Fab 30 is utilised. Today it has a manufacturing capability equivalent to 5000 wafers a week of 200mm wafers. AMD is targeting a utilisation rate of 50 per cent by the end of this year.

Jim Doran, who runs AMD's German manufacturing operations, said the company's two factories (there's also a fab in Austin, Texas) would fully meet demand in 2003. While "taking aim at achieving a 30 per cent share in the x86 processor market", AsiaBiztech reports (it comes to a pretty pass when you have to read a Japanese site to find out what AMD is up to in Germany). ®

Duke - Re:"The supervisor of elections has the power to look up and add the voter ID number to the ballots."

No, not true. The Florida law is very clear in requiring that the application information be supplied by the voter or a member of their immediate family. The Florida SOS, predecessor to Harris, issued an opinion to this effect several years ago.

Did you notice that the elections supervisor said no comment? It is a felony to diddle with an absentee ballot request, or the ballot, and felony charges are possible against the elections supervisor and the R's.
