That's not correct. DVD-Rs don't have CSS and they are playable on virtually all DVD players. My impression is that mass-produced CSS-free DVDs will play on all players.
You'd also have to make sure that every network app running on those inside computers supports IPv6, and you'd need some sort of protocol translator on the gateway. For those reasons, I wouldn't suggest that scenario.
I would suggest running both v4 and v6 on the inside machines and making the gateway into a 6to4 border router.
Even if your ISP doesn't support IPv6, you can use 6to4 to start using IPv6 today. It's much easier and more efficient than the 6bone. Since IPv6 allows a host to have multiple addresses, the eventual transition from 6to4 to native IPv6 will be seamless.
No sign of development in dual DDR chipsets? High-end dual DDR chipsets are popping up all over, and recent leaks show that VIA is working on a desktop dual DDR chipset.
It doesn't matter whether people need it or not. In a few years AMD will be making only 64-bit CPUs, so people will buy them and run them in 32-bit mode.

400Mbps is slower than ATA/66; it's going to be much slower than Serial ATA. Because Firewire is so much more advanced than ATA, it also costs more. I'm not interested in internal Firewire drives.
I remember that statutory licensing was set up a while ago; why is it being changed? What were the old fees? Or are those fees for something different?
The Pentium 4 FSB is 3.2GB/s; even the fastest DDR is only 2.7GB/s, so the Grand Champion uses two 1.6GB/s DDR channels to get balanced performance.
I think the Grand Champion HE has four channels, so you'd get 6.4GB/s; that's probably only useful for workloads with a lot of DMA traffic (e.g. disk and network I/O).
Those wires were put in the ground by RBOCs who had government-granted monpolies. The RBOCs can't get a monopoly and escape regulation at the same time.

Too bad it looks like NetBoot only supports the obsolete Mac OS 9.

The Nokia D211 supports 802.11 and GSM/GPRS. I guess it's only lacking Bluetooth.

How is XATP better than BEEP?
Sorry, I should have said most of the additional bandwidth is wasted.
Check out IBM's Summit or ServerWorks' Grand Champion HE chipsets; they have four PC1600 channels which adds up to 6.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth.
The nForce has two PC2100 DDR channels, but the FSB is only 2.1 GB/s, so most of that bandwidth is wasted.
Yeah, but next year there will be no external set top boxes with HD analog outputs.
Over-the-air HDTV broadcasts aren't encrypted (and probably won't be), so they probably won't ban PC-HDTV cards.
You'll never be able to legally feed HD DirecTV into your PC, though.
Sure, but it will be illegal, so customs will seize it at the border when you try to order one from Hong Kong.

What exactly does the EULA say? Does it say you're only allowed to use 2 physical CPUs or 2 CPU contexts?
StrongARMs are only made by Intel; OMAP is ARM-compatible but it's not a StrongARM.
And who says that SETI is more important than file-sharing? I'm not saying it isn't, but your "easy solution" sounds a little knee-jerk to me.
You could do it with a tool like Drive Image, but it would be cheaper to just call up HP and convince them to sell you the restore CDs.
Large companies don't buy Pavillions, so I don't see the point.

If I wanted a high-performance Pentium 4 system I'd wait a little while for the Grand Champion chipset that supports two DDR channels.
