Every CPU has errata. After all, CPUs are just software. Ever heard of software that doesn't have bugs? (Besides the Space Shuttle.) Sometimes the manufacturer tells you about it; sometimes they don't.
No doubt On2 has filed patents on VP6. Their pitch is that all the patents are (supposedly) owned by them instead of 20 different companies, so it's easier to negotiate a license. Of course, if you aren't willing to pay licensing fees at all then it doesn't make any difference.
Sure, VP6 has simpler licensing because it is completely proprietary, but H.264 is supposedly patent-free and it has the advantage of being a published standard with mulitple competing implementations.
Although anyone can go and make a Ferrari out of dust, someone needs to first spend a lot of time designing and testing the thing, and they feel they should be rewarded for this.
Nah, just steal one, take it apart, and scan all the parts with a laser scanner.:-)
You see, when the kids install ThreeDegrees, Microsoft automatically enables IPv6. Isn't it insidious? If this is allowed to continue, we'll have millions of IPv6 machines before you know it!:-)
Unfortunately, most people use XviD and DivX5 with AVI instead of the standard file format (MP4) and MP3 instead of the standard audio codec (AAC). But they're getting closer.
your IDE channels have wider paths for data transfer.
Nope.
your PCI bus is wider.
Nope; it's still 32 bit, 33 MHz.
most current technology has a limit of only transfering around ~120 mb/sec across the whole PCI bus (which included the IDE channels).
While 32/33 PCI is limited to ~120MB/s, IDE hasn't been on the PCI bus for several years.
AMDs HyperTransport technology (which my motherboard has) widens the Bus paths between the south bridge and north bridge to 4 bits (from a 1 bit path...
IIRC, most chipsets have a 16-bit link between the north and south bridges, but that's a bogus number since different chipsets use different link signaling rates. What you should really look at is the throughput of the north-south link. What you should have said is that nForce2 has 800MB/s on the north-south link and Canterwood only has 266MB/s.
No wonder Real couldn't help you; they don't make videoconferencing stuff.
Assuming you already have a fast intranet connecting your sites, just use NetMeeting. If you want higher quality, skip the cheapo USB cameras and get an NTSC capture card and a pan-tilt-zoom camera.
When I buy a piece of hardware, I expect it to work and to do the same thing forever. I don't expect new features to be added for free. When you bought your iPod, you knew it didn't have on-the-go playlists, yet you were satisfied enough to buy it. Yet now you're unhappy; I don't get it.
I have an old iPod as well, so I'm not completely talking out of my ass.

Yes, but will there be a secret code that you can type into the remote to enable the all-important 30-second skip feature?
Power over Ethernet seems simpler and more standard.

If you want to encode with free tools so that anyone can watch it, why not use MPEG-4? Or VP3, since anyone who has Sorenson has VP3.
Thanks a lot Sun for posting absolutely no information about the progress of this JSR. At least Doug Lea has posted a little information.
Shut yo' mouth!
You didn't RTFA, did you? It can't burn DVDs.

You won't get multicast; IPv6 or no IPv6. The routers can't handle it and the ISPs can't figure out how to bill it.
The 970 certainly does support SMP.
Actually, there is a journaled version of UFS in Solaris, but OS X doesn't support it.
Unfortunately, most people use XviD and DivX5 with AVI instead of the standard file format (MP4) and MP3 instead of the standard audio codec (AAC). But they're getting closer.
Biometric authentication has so many false negatives that it's practically useless.
OS X does not support ext2. It does support UFS, but not journaled.

I wonder if Abit's latest motherboards actually support ECC or just claim to. And speaking of ECC, has anyone seen ECC CL2 PC3200 DIMMs?
Some large projects that are too complex to host on SourceForce move to California Community Colo Project. The MusicBrainz project actually raised enough money for two servers.

...t's obvious that this is a web based app that could have been implemented on all platforms...
.m4p files.
I'm guessing other platforms don't support

Obivously the music store is targeted at existing Mac users; I don't think anyone is going to switch just so they can use it.
It doesn't look anything like a Newton to me, but then I have actually used one.
