Daylights savings

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

For some time ago it was time again, reset every clock you possess and hope you did it right so you don’t miss school or work the next day. So why do we do this? Earlier when we hade an agricultural society this was done to get more daylight in the early morning when the work day started. In the modern society this is no more necessary in my honest opinion. This is rather a problem for the society because many suffer of depression during the winter time due to the lack of light. Do we really need daylights savings any more or is it just a problem for the society? Throw me a line!

För ett tag sedan var det dags igen, ställ om alla klockor du äger och hoppas du gjorde rätt så du inte missar skolan eller jobbet på morgonen efter. Varför behöver vi detta egentligen? Tidigare när vi hade jordbrukssamhället kvar gjorde man såhär för att få mer dagsljus på morgonen när man steg upp för att börja dagens sysslor. I det moderna samhället är detta, enligt min mening, inte längre nödvändigt. Detta är snarare ett problem för samhället då måste lider av vinterdepressioner på grund av bristen på dagsljus. Behöver vi fortfarande omställningen till vintertid eller är det bara ett problem för samhället? Skriv till mig och säg vad du tycker!

P.A. Semi

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

It’s nice to see that new companies try to compete with AMD and Intel, or should one maybe just say AMD since Intel’s Pentium 4 doesn’t seem to reach any further. I’m rather puzzeled over Intel when it comes to the Pentium 4 or the private market. How it is possible that Intel didn’t get a working 64-bit processor available to the private market before AMD. It’s not just that, Intel also had to buy the technology from AMD. Hello?

Now we have P.A. Semi that have a new processor that will be available Q3 next year. The international media writes like it’s something exceptional… But haven’t we seen this before, not so many years ago? Yes, back then (I think it was year 2000?) it was Transmeta that should revolutionize the world. As I see it P.A. Semi is just a competitor to Transmeta, IBM and Intel on the market for embedded systems. The ordinary people may not see much of this processor, but let us keep hoping!
