Intel Cancels LCOS Development
kfstark writes "It looks like the sub $2000 42" flat panel TV has been pushed back for a while. Intel has announced they are cancelling their Liquid Crystal on Silicon development. Guess I'll have to pick out a different gift for for the umm... kids." Earlier we reported their plans to delay their launch of the LCOS chips. Sadly, now it would seem they've been scrapped altogether.
Woohoo!
I was hoping we could talk about accepting Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior, and how it can change your life for the better.
I'm willing to share my own personal experience - I accepted Christ at a recent Billy Graham revival here in Kansas City. Feel free to ask any questions you like.
Please let the love of Jesus Christ into your heart today.
I can attest to the power. My Athlon64 [3200+ NewCastle] runs cooler and faster than my P4 [2.8Ghz Northwood]. At 1Ghz [I clock down when idle] it goes as low as a few degrees over ambient [it's 23C now, the mobo is 21C the room with window open is probably around 17C or so].
... With a 36$ Thermaltake SilentBoost K8!!!
At 2.2Ghz [full speed] the cpu idles at ~35C or about +10C over ambient and under full load hits around ~46C [about +21C over ambient].
Compared that to my P4 which had a Polo735 Thermaltake it idled at 33C and hit 55C at full load.
When you take into account that the K8 smokes the P4 [specially for building software which is what I do]... yeah.
As for gaming, well I have a GeForce 5200 so I can't really say. I get a good framerate in ut2k4 but I can't say it's "much faster". Maybe a few fps faster when there are many bots [and I run the amd64 build...] but that's about it.
My point though is that the K8 beats the P4 in both power and performance. Right now Intel is holding onto irrelevent metrics/benchmarks to win over the crowd.
I own both cpus and I know for a fact that where it matters most [and sorry, gaming isn't it] the K8 is sweeeeet!

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
Well said. In fact, that's the best off-topic post I've read.
... maybe even more so. He's suggesting sending more troops to Iraq.
But keep in mind that Kerry is only very slightly better.
If you want real change in the US, you have to promote people like Nader. Honestly, Kerry will do the same thing as Bush
Please.. Bush is a fool, and I won't be voting for him next month, but comparing him to Hitler is rediculous. You do yourself a disservice, and undermine the other good points you made.
You seem to conveniently forget the tens of thousands killed under Saddam, or the two wars he started, execution/torture of political enemies, or the gassing of the Kurds, just to name a few examples.
What about the generations of Iraqis suffocated in past decades, with no opportunities or freedom of speech? 25 million lives wasting away. Where was your outrage then?
The truth is the war was fought for the wrong reasons (wmd), but it was time for a change in Iraq anyway. The standard european practice of ignoring genocide or worse on their own doorstep, (see the real hitler or milosevic), is not good enough. No one likes war, but evil must be fought. Ignoring it because, "my life is great here" as you would have us do is just as evil, in my opinion.
The main problem is that Bush and his cronies are not quite smart enough to do the job intelligently. But even if the occupation were handled perfectly there would lots of problems just like now. At least Iraq has the possiblitly of a future now, although it may turn out worse for quite a while.
