When x87+MMX were added, existing programs ran unchanged. When x86-64 doubled the register sets, many existing programs ran unchanged (some features were dropped). Compatibility was largely maintained. That compatibility was what AMD wagged

Tomasulo's register renaming algorithm (1967) comes from an era when you bought the computer and the operating system together. So OS compatibility was their problem. That's not our era but the resulting in-order vs out-of-order w

Adding more logical registers doesn't have to break application compatibility. Intel added x87, MMX ... extensions with their new register sets all without breaking compatibility. They even doubled the integer register set in x86_64 wi

Cash For Clunkers was a brilliant idea given the economy, the one in free fall that W left Obama. BTW, it was overwhelming opposed by Republicans. That's because McConnell wanted Obama to be a one term president. Everyone wanted Gadaff

Obama inherited W's Great Recession with its 10% unemployment and its cratered tax revenues. This is similar to FDR inheriting Hoover's Great Depression. Obama spent his 8 years digging out of that hole. His one initiative was the

Yes, Clinton's budget, his tax increases and defense spending cuts, they did cost the Democrats the House. Gingrich voted against that budget, then campaigned against it, winning the Speakership, then shut the government down over it,

by CalChris 5y ago
No, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 has nothing to do with the budget. It has to do with paying debts and collecting taxes. Article 1 Section 9 Clause 7 is closer. It says Congress has to pass an appropriation before spending money. That’s s

I can never remember whether Reagan single handedly won the Cold War on horseback with a six shooter or if he was functionally incapacitated and thus not responsible for anything.

He's partly right. Stagflation was another issue. Also Reagan was a natural actor, brainless but telegenic. The United States (Dulles) overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh in 1953 and installed the Shah. Then Eisenhower, JFK,

No, you aren't accounting for inflation. In constant 2012 dollars, US spending was $2T in 1977 and $2.2T in 1980. It was $3T in 1988. It was $3.5T in 1992. https://www.usgovernmentspending.com/spending_chart_1970_201...

Reagan cut taxes (supply side). Clinton increased taxes and cut Cold War era defense spending in his 1993 budget proposal. W didn't even put the Afghanistan and Iraq wars on normal budgeting. That emergency spending went straight to de

In fact, inflation was pretty bad under Nixon (5.8%) and Ford (11.05%) with some up and down. Nixon even instituted price controls in 1970. Carter inherited that economy. He didn't fix it (well, arguably his Fed Chair Paul Volcker did)

In a restricted channel that isn't the case. If you see a triple E coming at you and you're in a dinghy, it will be in a channel and you will want to skedaddle; even the bow wave could swamp you. Usually it will have escorting tug

A deer weighs maybe pounds 100 lbs. A car weighs maybe 3000 lbs for a 30 to 1 ratio. That sub weighs 1000 times more than a container. That is how momentum works.
