I can't however call my store that sells Applications "App Store" or use "App Store" in a portion of its name, or for the slogan "KnightMarket : The best darn App Store!" I could call my new Car model the "GM App Store", as it does not relate to the field in which Apple trademarked it. I could call my restaurant "App Store" because Apple did not trademark App Store as it relates to restoration and food. The only thing that would permit anyone to use the "App Store" trademark if it was granted would be outside of Apple's selected field of trade. It's the context in which a term or _name_ is used.Ĭontext doesn't impact a trademark either. I hope to get a new '11 SS here in the next six months or so.Ĭapitalization wasn't the point. He's since moved onto cars much nicer than a Camaro but for as long as I live, the Camaro will probably be my favorite car on the road. After all the mods, that car pushed out almost 600HP.
I was too young to realize why everyone thought the car was "cool." After some family car purchases, my dad eventually traded the Z28 in for a 2002 SS, again, right off the lot.
#CECAK TOKEK MODS#
Quite a few mods were added to it, including a 150hp shot of nitrous and more. I completely agree with the whole "liking what you enjoyed as a youngster forever" theory.īack when I was six or seven, my dad bought a brand new red '95 Camaro Z28. Treat that Stang nice Puma, because it is certainly a keeper. And those cars are permanently stuck with me. New cars are nice, but some things just stick with you. The older I get, and the older those cars get, the more I love them.
Fox body 5L Mustangs, FC RX7s, C4 Corvettes, Syclone/Typhoon, etc. I see cars from back in the early-mid 90s, when I was in high school and then into college, and I get all nostalgic and stuff. I think it might be something similar with cars. The stuff you like around that age is what sticks with you forever as your favorite. Many people never really get out of their 20's with their favorite bands. I read a story a while back about people and their music tastes. A buddy of mine has a '93 Cobra with just a couple thousand miles on it, and I absolutely love it. I never seem to like them each time a new one is released, but then the older they get, the more I start to like them. And the current thread per task, thread per CPU core mentality that many programmers have is not the proper way to approach this.įor something creeping up on 15 years old, that thing is in fantastic shape.
#CECAK TOKEK HOW TO#
So start planning and figuring how to micro-manage threads and fibers within your code because we'll be hitting 16 to 24 cores by 2010 and MHz per core isn't going to creep much past 3GHz. Both Intel and AMD are predicting 80 to 120 cores being the max for the x86 architecture. But this is the way it's going to be for a while and eventually we'll hit a core barrier, just as the MHz barrier popped up. They have been resisting it for years as anyone who has run multiprocessor systems over the years will attest to.
#CECAK TOKEK SOFTWARE#
I don't think the software industry has really warmed-up to the multi-core paradigm just yet. And then the cycle starts again in 18 months when 12 or 16 core chips start shipping. Once a new system is released, it should be a minimal effort to test and tweak the software for the new system and quickly release an update, thus making their customers only wait a week or two from when the systems first ship as opposed to several weeks/months while much of an application is re-written to accommodate 8 cores since the last version was hard-coded to handle 4. Programmers should make the effort to accommodate upcoming multi-core designs into their software development cycle. Too bad Apple doesn't make pre-release hardware available via higher-level ADC programs, only a select few get the priviledge. Engineering samples started shipping several months ago (early september, IIRC). In other words, it's no secret that this hardware is coming, we've known about quad-core clovertown CPUs for nearly a year. There's no reason software isn't being planned for the upcoming CPU architectures and newer versions being developed to handle such.
#CECAK TOKEK INSTALL#
What do you prefer: Unpack 8 core Mac Pro, install Handbrake, run it, 50 percent CPU usage, or unpack 8 core Mac Pro, install Handbrake, run it, kaboom!īeing a developer with a fair bit of graphics programming and multithreaded development experience, I would say the solution is somewhere in-between. Are you seriously suggesting that a developer should ship a product with features that are not only untested, but haven't even been tried out?
