Intel Roadmap

Intel would rather you didn't upgrade and instead just bought new. THey make more money that way after all. I would expect Intel to do everything they can to make upgrading (and overclocking) harder and harder in the future. As well as integrating more and more to limit your choices.
Glass is a liquid and so acts like one over long periods of time. If you look at the windows on an old Cathedral (i.e ~500 years old) you see the glass is thicker at the bottom - it moves very very slowly.
I doubt any drive would last long enough for this to be a problem though.

For me was one of his best. You have to wonder what sort of twisted mind came up with the idea though. Worth a read, should be able to pick up a paperback copy for not that much.
The Register has an article on the 1GHz Athlon and a quote from a FAQ : Question "How did AMD reach 1GHz so much earlier than your projected introduction date?"
Answer "AMD's process and manufacturing abilities, coupled with the AMD Athlon(TM) processor's advanced seventh-generation architecture has enabled AMD to reach this significant industry milestone, and successfully enable a leading manufacturer to bring 1GHz AMD Athlon systems to the marketplace in March."
Unfortunally the link The Register has doesn't work, and I can't find the FAQ anymore.

As the PS2 contains encryption and I live in the UK, if the police asked me to see what was encrypted on my PS2 (assuming I had one) and I couldn't decrypt it, I'd be breaking the law. So doesn't that make possesion of a PS2 in the UK illegal ??
Which makes me think - if I owned a DVD but no DVD player I'd also be in possession of encrypted data I couldn't decrypt....
In a way he is right, Transmeta has two chips, the lower end one is designed for Linux whereas the higher end one has been designed specifically to run Windows. It is optimised for the 16bit code that is still in W98.
By the sounds of things, if I emailed lots of people (for exmaple MPs) with encrypted data and then tipped off the police. All the MPs would be arrested for having encrypted data that they were not willing to decrypt (because they don't have the key).

Ericsson have been doing voice over IP for at least a year.
Most of Spain's telephone system is now VoIP, BTW.

Will test with IE5.5 as well soon.

I dropped my V3688 on to concrete - it bounced.
Works fine, not even a scratch.
The X-Box must be unix then.

Who thinks that the world will start downloading DVDs.
It's easy to copy a video, but people still buy them don't they. It's easy to copy a CD, but people still buy them.
DeCSS won't stop people buying DVD's. We just want to play them on the device of our chossing. DeCSS is the first step to that.

Don't know if it's related but the seti@home site has been down for a few hours.
Another attack ?
At least it has made people realise that a problem exists and hopefully encourage people to make thier systems more secure.

Just a thought.

I submitted an idea like this to slashdot just a few days ago. Completley my idea.
