64-Bit Windows XP Released To Manufacturing

My first post regarding this topic may have been a little too inflammatory. This edit is just the facts.

Intel came out with a 64 bit processor that either wouldn't run 32 bit code or would not run 32 bit code as well as a 32 bit processor.

AMD came out with a 64 bit processor that could ALSO run 32 bit code.

This was a great idea. This chip allowed you to upgrade your system/server with a chip that would allow you to run all of your existing 32 bit code today... Then when you are ready/able you could replace your 32 bit applications with 64 bit applications when you could.

AND has had their 64 bit processors available to the public for YEARS!

Microsoft released a free beta of Windows XP 64 that would only run for a year. This version of XP lacked some of the features of the 32 version of XP.

Intel is now ready to start selling 64 bit processors with 32 bit code execution ability.

Microsoft is now ready to RELEASE all of their 64 bit Applications and Operating Systems.

You connect the dots...
You do the math...

A very interesting and SCARY post from SIGforum

I'm going to be gone for awhile, but first a few words of wisdom... www.sigforum.com

You have to drill down to the 2nd page till you get more information but looks like a this guy is getting railroaded big time.

Just to be clear here..

My statements previously regarding Living Wills was just that a statement regarding Living Wills. I was not trying to make a statement regarding whether Terri's feeding tube should be removed or not. From what I have learned, Terri is not in a vegetated State. From what I've read she may even be able to eat without the tube if she would be allowed to receive the therapy she has been denied. Who has denied this therapy? Her husband, for over 10 years now. Here is a link to a site where you can learn the facts behind Terri's story.

Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation


When your done here is a site a Google search on Living Wills found for me. Looks like you have to tailor any Living Will or Advance Directive document to the State Law for the State you are living in. Which means if you move you will have to update your document.

If you haven't already FILL OUT A LIVING WILL!

No peace yet for Terri Schiavo

If this doesn't make you fill out a living will nothing will. Let's say this happened to me. I'm now a vegetable being kept alive on a machine and I didn't have a living will. If my mother and father objected to my wife pulling the plug what would happen?

1) My wife and son would not get any insurance money or benefits from.
2) My wife and son would be saddled with my continued medical costs.
3) I would have to endure limbo.

Now what would happen if we passed a law that said the government could stop someone from pulling the plug?

1) My wife and son would not get any insurance money or benefits from.
2) My wife and son would be saddled with my continued medical costs. OR The tax payers would be saddled with my continued medical costs.
3) I would have to endure limbo.

So fill out a Living Will today. It is not enough any more to have a understanding between love ones. PUT IT IN PRINT AND HAVE IT NOTARIZED!

Once again Google rules!

Seems I have to give up on MSN spaces. Am now in the process of moving my posts from my old site to this new one. Should have stuck with Google and Blogger.com to begin with. Oh well. Live and learn.

Oh Patches!

It is with a sad heart I write of the passing of Patches. Our vet tried all he could including 2 exploritory surgeries but he was unable to save her. She passed early this morning. We are consoled with the knowledge that all living things have a purpose in this life. Our hearts are lifted with the truth that Patches now is free from pain and is in a far better place. She was not the pet I have had the logest. She is not the pet I have had the most fun with. But she is the the pet who tried so hard to communicate with me and I tried so hard to understand her. God bless you Patches and keep you till we meet again.

Poor Patches!

One of my two cats has taking ill. Vet had to do Exploratory Surgery and took some biopsies. We are waiting for the results. I used to laugh when I heard of people spending 100's of dollars on medical care for their pets, until now. It's been two weeks, and almost $1,000, and a million prayers!

Ops, been too long!

Sorry. It's been too long since I last posted! I've been very busy at work. Have moved from a team leadership postion to a Director of a Department.

Will try to update more often. Not that anyone seems to be visiting this site but me. Oh well. At least it's fun for me!
