Last time I checked, $1 goes to GoDaddy (the registrar) and $7 goes to the registry (VeriSign for.com, Afilias for.org, etc.).
You're right that it doesn't cost $7/year to maintain a domain name in a database. When.org was taken away from VeriSign, one of the bidders proposed to lower the cost of a.org domain to $2/year; of course they were shot down because such low pricing might upset the status quo.
If Roland had RTFA, he'd have realized that this StreamBase thing is not a relational database and does not do the job of a traditional relational database. The whole point is that it uses a different architecture to solve problems that don't map well to relational databases.
WiMax has much more capacity than 3G. For example, ISPs will use WiMax to offer T1 replacement service (1.5Mbps symmetric guaranteed bandwidth); can the cellular carriers do that?
(Translation: Does it matter if TiVo dies as long as something better comes along?)

No. If zombie A harvests some email addresses and later zombie B sends spam to those addresses, it will be detected and zombie B can be blacklisted immediately.
There is no WiMax equipment on the market, and it's not for home networks anyway. Belkin released some pre-802.11n equipment which probably will make no difference if your spectrum is totallly clogged.
The G5 has twice as many FPUs, so the Xserve gets 18.4 peak GFLOPS while six minis get 15 peak GFLOPS. The Xserve has more network bandwidth and about equal memory bandwidth.

That page says nothing about H.264. And RealNetworks doesn't own H.264 (these guys do), so Real can't give it to you for free.

Oh, there are no 64-bit games?
That's too bad...

What I would like to see is simply, a digital VCR....
Several companies are coming out with them. Sony already announced the DHG-HDD500.
What I'd really like to see is a CableCard adaptor that would plug into the FireWire port on the Mac Mini.
This probably won't be allowed because the mini doesn't have enough DRM.
Isn't firewire written into the HD spec?
Which one? ATSC doesn't mention Firewire.
Aren't all HD devices supposed to have firewire ports on them?
No.
So all the tv's of the future would have f/w on them, no?
No.
However, the FCC is requiring cable companies to provide a Firewire-enabled cable box if you ask for it.
No, SIP provides call signaling.

802.16d morphed into 802.16revD, which is just a new revision.
you just have to ask your cable company to support [Moxi]
And then they say "no" and you just have to go back to waiting for the OpenCable version.
Where's my OpenCable Moxi?

3D viruses and worms? Didn't I see that in the movie Swordfish?
Am i the only one who thinks this is a response to the recent success that Ubuntu has had?
Yes. Fedora was planned to be open from day 1.
I'm thinking that for cameras a high performance compression processor for this new algorithm might be the solution to the Camera issue.
What issue specifically? I think cameras are better off using JPEG 2000, JPEG-LS, or compressed raw formats.
Anyone know if the compression on a chip for the camera is a feasable idea, or am I just not awake yet.
See my previous post on this subject.
Sure, but it's not a good idea. See the wheel of reincarnation.
PCMCIA Type III cards were double-high, but many modern laptops are too thin to support them.

Clustering Mac minis would be easy but stupid. I suspect the Xserve has better price/performance.
POWER5 is already shipping, and it beats the dual-core Opteron in floating-point while the Opteron wins in integer code. Of course YMMV.
(i.e., a 1.4 GHz dual core CPU will outperform a 2.4GHz dual processor machine)
That would be nice if it was possible, but it's not. Actually, a 1.4 GHz dual-core Opteron would be slower than two 1.4 GHz single-core Opterons.
Burning a DVD is not CPU-bound... unless you are also encoding the DVD.
Can someone sum up the benefits of multi-core processors over SMP for me?
It's cheaper.
They don't.
The WRT54GX uses the same chips if you'd rather buy from Linksys than Belkin.
