is Intel resigned to only "respond" to AMD from now on, never to lead again?
Intel's problem isn't how fast they respond but rather something else entirely: a patent.
That patent is Silicon on Insulator. It is owned by IBM. AMD has been using it some time now and it has allowed their processors to use less power than with conventional silicon. It is rumored that Intel approached IBM in order to license this technology but that IBM wanted to trade tech instead of making a cash deal.
So Intel is playing some cat and mouse with IBM. Right now, the IBM guys are probably laughing at the power consumption of Intel's processors - they're winning. So, in the near future, when you see that Intel has licensed a pretty bit of their technology to IBM, don't be surprised. Intel needs SOI and they're going to pay dearly for it.
The publisher was verified so you should install and run this software.
I fail to see how signatures fix anything that is wrong with Internet Explorer. Automated downloads via ActiveX are going to be a problem if they are signed or not. What a moron this guy is (and I'm normally a MS softie). He should be fired if he works for MS as he is exactly the type of thinker that got us into this problem.
Does this mean less resiliency/redundancy in the chip?
Yes - this is the primary reason that Intel is moving to OUM after the 45nm node (slide #32). Do note that this is still years off. OUM is rad-hard.
Also note that the research which is poured into XY-addressable OUM/chalcogenide memory can be potentially useful for the seek and scan memory that is also mentioned in that Intel presentation. My guess is that they'll come out with at leaset one variation or possibly both. The chalgogenide material is the same stuff used for RW optical media - you can change the phase via the application of energy (electrical, optical or otherwise). The change in phase causes many of the properties of the material to change, delineating unique, detectable states.
The probe storage is similar to a CD-RW but, instead of spinning the media below a single optical read/write mechanism, they are moving the media beneath thousands of atomic resolution probes that read/write with electrical energy. It is quite the technology.
A quick note about your suggestion for the Dish Network system:
The quality of the Dish Network signal is far superior to that of regular broadcast TV, cable, digital cable and most other satellite services. You really have to see this for yourself (doesn't even require a good TV). Because of this, it is difficult to tell the difference between their picture and an HDTV picture. Plus, they have been supporting dolby digital for quite some time.
The best combination right now is arguably Dish Networks PVR (Tivo-like set top box) system and a good HDTV. You won't be able to tell the difference between that and an HDTV signal anyway, plus you get Dolby Digital to boot.
Now I admit, I have no idea how knowing that a shower creates a small huricane will become personally useful to me. But that does not mean that some aspect of this will not become useful in the future.
Well,
To address the poster to whom you were replying to:
Fuel economy - the efficiency of the combustion process (in an internal combustion engine) is directly proportional to the level of homogeneity of the gas/air charge in the cylinders at the time of combustion (gas isn't actually fuel until you mix it homogenously with air).
Atomization of the gasoline is very important but simply atomizing it isn't good enough in many cases. New research has led to "direct injection" which places the fuel injector in the combustion chamber like a spark plug instead of on the other side of the intake valves. I believe Seat (an Audi/VW subsidiary) has introduced one of the worlds first direct injection engines which uses gasoline injection at a pressure of 1450psi (normal cars use under 50psi)! At these pressures, things like mini hurricanes become very important to understanding exactly what is going on in the combustion chamber.
Has anyone noticed that the X-33 looks remarkably like a penguin when sitting in the vertical takeoff position?
Interestingly enough, the X33 is now dead. I'd be willing to bet that Microsoft had something to do with its demise. That would have been a helluvan advertisement for Linux! official X-33 site with no penguin-like images.
How can they not see it? The funny thing is that they are bullying just as Linux is turning the corner as a consumer OS. A year ago, I'd laugh if you asked me to switch to Linux but everyday the appeal grows. When Mozilla hits 1.0, I think that I am done with Wierdows.
It does sound good, but the frequent plugging in does sound a little scary.
You want scary? Try waking up from surgery to find that your heart has been replaced with a baked potatoe? This is my theory, anyway. They use the potatoe to power the pump (no external lines) similar to those potatoe clocks of Mr. Wizzardry...
These printers have an uncanny knack for transferring computer art to canvas (or other materials) with very good results. Depending on the artwork in question, you may be able to fool some people into believing in the art without them knowing about its origins. Once you get some good reviews, you can let the cat out of the bag. There's no way that they can change their mind after this...
Try checking with some sign shops for info on where to get access to one of these (yellow pages: signs). Colorspan isn't the only company that makes 'em but rather the first that I could find a link for.
Referring to downstream speed, I have measured 6Mb/s actual download speed. I have done this with both Windows 2000's Network Monitor and other 3rd party utilities.
Before you try to insult someone, please learn how to spell. It makes you sound less ignorant.

Because nVidia is secretly in cahoots with AMD. They are currently developing a GeForce4/Athlon "system on a chip" which will be the worlds first processor to have world class graphics built in.
If the cable service is crammed up with all kinds of services, then most companies cannot allocate the full 8 Mhz (7.8.. crose enough!) channel for a cable modem.
Also, with the *shared bandwidth* it is possible to have VLANs on different channels, given enough bandwidth.
In any event, I have certainly not experienced this much bandwidth from any other cable or DSL service. If you can explain how my friends can get their cable co to allocate this kind of speed for them on a single pipe then I am sure they would appreciate it.
My cable company (AT&T - formerly TCI) ran a second coax to every house. This gives bandwidth galore. I have seen speeds of 6 Mb/s which would probably go higher if my modem connected to my ethernet card at 100Mb/s rather than 10.

Why doesn't Microsoft just start their own record label and buy some of the more popular bands for release under Windows Media format only?
If we don't see it from Microsoft, then I have a feeling that we will see it from elsewhere...
They probably wanted to find out if there were as many unsubscribed people as their numbers led them to believe (unit sales - current subscribers = unsubscribed users).
I'm sure that this may have come from their marketing dept. They probably thought that someone was selling hacked boxes. Something that allowed people to subscribe without paying. Now that people are jumping up and down, they have realized that there really is a large base of unsubscribed people out there. I am sure that we will see a business model change from them now. They may sell a unit with a "smart card" for a couple extra dollars that allows you to have a lifetime subscription that you can carry with you in the card.
When bandwidth becomes prevalent enough, you could take all your recordings with you in your wallet! Not to mention any other digital media that you'd like to store on their servers...
