I only see it as useful for the highest end cards where the only way to get more speed is to add another card. As an upgrade path it is cheaper to buy a next gen card which gives better performance and less heat than 2 last gen cards.
nvidia made the best chip sets for socket A that were desirable because they overclocked well, were faster and more stable than VIA etc. They also had very good integrated sound with soundstorm, whereas integrated sound had been not even good enough for casual music listening till this point. All before sli2.
this is an interesting idea as intel actually needs viable competitors to avoid getting hit by the same laws that almost killed Microsoft. If AMD's CPU arm continues as they have done in the past year I cannot see them lasting very long so intel needs to add some competitors.
so true, since mobile phones have had decent cameras I have much more pictures as my camera is there whenever I need it. SLR's produce nice pictures but you don't carry them around on whim due to the bulk and weight.
USB is ideal we just need higher current. Like one of the earlier posters said boost/buck converters can turn 5V into anything between 0 - 100V with ease and should be cheaper on a per device basis than a wall power pack. As for replacing power packs you just open the device up and use the continuity test function of your multimeter from the negative or positive lead of a polarised component (eg capacitor) and the ring/tip of the power connection. It's not tricky, the bigger question is have Americans lost the ability to fix things?
I may be young but I have created "IP" of value but I would prefer to share them rather than make money off them. After all money is easy to get yet reputation is not.
The windows UI has been awful for me since 3.11 with the start menu in 95. The start menu isn't sorted properly and programs install with their VENDOR names first.
I call bullshit on the drivers issue, Linux supports far more hardware in a fresh install state than ANY other OS. Just because the newest hardware may have problems doesn't mean it won't work fine in a few years time.
actualy the CD sample rate is too low, it's imposible to create a filter with a brick wall response that cuts off sound totaly at a specific frequancy and filters that are made too sharp have resonant peaks and cause phase distortion. Therefor to represent audio to the limit of human hearing on a cd you must use sharp response filter that causes distortion. DAT with its 48KHz sample rate seems far more logical.
the problems with sacd are more a case that to achive the maximal quality you must capture and edit the audio data as a bitstream. Audio editing software is designed to work on PCM data and most A/D converters output PCM.
I had a 140MHz IBM "586" (it was a 486) thing was so dammed fast using it messed up my computers buses and made it only be able to run the display adaptor (vesa local bus) with a refresh of 40HZ. I used to have alot of migraines...
You must have the special copy of 1984 that's about forced purchasing of music and anti competitive lobby groups. I'm just saying because my copy didn't have anything to do with that in it.
I don't think it's good form to reply to your posts but I notice I have been moderated -1 redundant. How can this be the case when my post has generated so many replys many of them detailed and lengthy in nature?
"Debian was broke" well this Debian user would like to respectfully disagree. The only thing I have found broken is linux video editing and I'm 90% thats my own fault for not been good enough at fault finding to get through the compile errors.
Slashdot Mirror
it's not yours anymore either

actualy on the current spec you should nogotaiate anything over 100mA.

I have one, one power charger! (couldn't resist)

isn't this orginaly from some terry pratchet book?
Vote Culthul 08! why chose the lesser of two evils?
I would have thought by now we would have SACD style bit streams that simplify the A/D => D/A process by removing the number of needed converters.
because they always use live footage on green screens. Sigh.

warzone2100 go play it. Best RTS ever made. For linux, OSX and windows.

yeah you get a netinstall cd for debian and then chose only the base system and you can install whatever you want ontop. I did this and run fluxbox.

"zero configuration" so linux for the people that miss the whole point of running linux desktop?

the mere possibility of a duress key allows them to keep you in jail till they get the info they think you have.
