Hell, Eric thinks that 64bits offers merely twice the precision of 32. I gather he's not had one college level class on computer organization. It looks like He just skims the net for articles written by shills to further his belief in the inherent superiority of Motorola and he considers himself educated.

Is there anything else quite so simultaneously amusing and pathetic as a Maclot slamming something, learning Apple's going to implement it, and then defending it to the death?

He slammed Win9x PMT implementation. He said that the classic Mac SMT was not so much of a handicapp, but mostly just explained the differences between SMT and PMT.
I don't ever remember him saying that PMT was worse the SMT.
Then again he lost his rockers later on and got slammed by 'maclots' when he started writing articles for MacWeek. He does make some ridiculas comments. A lot of it stems from uncontrolled bitterness and anger. Why? I have no fucking clue. Maybe Bill Gates did something to him. Who knows.

But yes, he laments MP, because he is a tard:
[url=http://www.mackido.com/Myths/memoryprotection.html]Memory Protection increases instability
Now there are some illusions about memory protection. It can not solve the worlds problems - or even the programmers problems. But it can reduce them and make up for bad programmers and poor Quality Assurance, and for the natural errors inherent to the process of development.Memory protection actually can increase systems instability. Yes, you read that correctly. Memory maps are huge, and only a small percentage of the entire map (table-top) actually has data on it. So the likelihood of a spill ON someone elses work is pretty low to begin with. (And most of the time when it does spill it spills in predictable spaces - like location zero). So most of the time a program spills, it will not hit anything, or will only spill on itself (or you could protect only part of the memory and catch most of the bad spills). So normally, most spills are not that big of a deal, and without memory protection, nothing happens (the system keeps chugging along). However, with memory protection the Application comes crashing down (even though nothing bad would have happened). So the apps crash more than they would - but they do so as a preventative measure. The trade off is that apps are less likely to bring down the system (but more likely to come down).

I actually checked his drek on PMT, and he does say it's ok, but explains away why it's no big deal not to have and how windows sucks at it and et cetera.
I fear Magus may have read my Macinchannel joke tv guide, which I believe mentions DKE saying something to that effect. Ooops. :biggrin:

He was, and is, an utter tard, and should be left to the dustbin of forgotten, never-has-been history.

BTW - Photoshop's slowdowns on OS X are 95% tracable to lame code in the OS (the last 5% I didn't bother to trace down). Yes, I've got about 30 RADAR bugs open on various slowdown issues. We're still working with them on the issues.
I knew that Photoshop's MacOS-Classic-orientation stupidity would cause them problems when it came time for OSX... I mentioned this to ccox back in the Battlefront's Most Famous Thread(tm), and he was very silent on the issue.
Guess I was right! Ha ha!
