except if a person is chugging along fine on a 1.5 Ghz machine and is being forced to upgrade to a faster machine (Corp. Policy or something else) than more materials and energy is consumed for little gain.
This goes out the window with reliance on processor intensive tasks. In those situations the energy savings from speed overtake the decreased energy usage at a lower speed. (Palimocore to a Barton core on the Athlon would be such an example)

I suppose I should clarify my impression of the article's message. I felt that the message was "one should reuse old machines where one can afford to".
I am in no way approving of the "We think this is a waste of materials so it shouldn't be done." That was in the article as well. Sorry for the misconception.
I have this odd feeling that they are neglecting how much it would cost to make the second PC and monitor; how much of the material cost is simply overhead?
Valve engineers also tested the GeForce 4 Ti 4600 (NV25) here, and its performance was faster than all of the supposedly newer/better GPUs based on the NV3X architecture except for the 5900 Ultra, and nVidia's current top-end GPU was only about 13% faster than the Ti 4600 here.
"The diamond devices are expected to be in demand to replace with the vacuum tubes that are used in the high frequency, high-power applications such as receivers and transmitters at digital TV broadcasting stations." Now why wouldn't they think people would use them in computers?
Hmm... after reading deeper it looks like Vonage is advertising it as a replacement for local calls as well. And they're advertising it as a telephone service. So I was wrong, the state isn't off base here. Vonage is just using that fact that it's not analog to avoid regulations. (and some 911 fees)
Not really, the big users of VoIP are buisnesses with T1/T3 lines and individuals with cable/DSL who make long distance calls. The state shouldn't be regulating this.
Not goto a site with doubleclick ads on it, thats near impossible, that's at least half the web. Course using an ad filter is a good way to boycot them...

I bet that in the near future there will be an encrypted form of DVD type media that you can get for free the only catch is you have to be connected to the internet and watch advertisements that they choose for you
Anyone else think they shouldn't have said anything till they knew they found the lander or not?
I hope NASA finds the lander but I don't like press releases of "expectations are low", this might have the effect of an failure and would hurt NASA's PR, which isn't doing to well.
I still want them to find the lander, just hope they do

Statistically schools are the safest place a kid can be. A child is less safe at home, the mall, or any other place for that matter. The school shootings caused several deaths, a pity yes, but the news put it out of proportion. There are more deaths daily that come from teen's driving drunk then at the school shootings. Welcome to America...

Thanks for the invite
no, Moore's law covers the density of transistors on the CPU and not the speed.

"I'm not concerned that the Japanese police have somehow found a way to compromise Freenet's security," Clarke
"..but probably not those that allow Freenet to protect user anonymity." Clarke
I'm confused, it looks like Clarke said Freenet's compromised and he doesn't care, and that Freenet isn't compromised.
