Poking around with Google, I decided to search for the phrase
"alpha_ia64.pdf" which returned results like this:

Comment: this document contains the following phrases:

1) "IA64: a smart compiler and a dumb machine"
2) "Alpha: a smart compiler and a smart machine"

For the past few years (2007-2010) we have seen lots of installations
running JVMs (java virtual machines), emulations, and virtualizations.
So let me ask you this: which is better, "smart machine" or "dumb
machine"?
