Unless you consider the fact that many people don't buy the high end laptops (with their higher profit margins) because they can't upgrade the video card. It makes them generally unsuitable as a PC gaming platform.
You're correct if you swap "data" with "services".
1. We provide services to those who need it.
2. We deny services to those who do not need it.
3. We increase the efficiency of access to the services in compliance with rules 1 and 2.
How on earth is anyone supposed to know what this part is going to be priced at? I doubt IBM even has anything resembling a firm idea. The price is going to depend on yields, production quantities and a number of other factors.
It's funny to note that AMD runs a lot of Linux, especially in their engineering groups. We are talking well over 2,000 CPUs here. They run a mix of Red Hat 6.2 and 7.x
"In the past, a number of friends told me that the Handspring Visors that they bought had serious quality problems."
"To my surprise, I got a replacement Treo that worked properly in less than two days, and I had a week to transfer my data from the old Treo and return it (at no additional charge)."
I have had a bit of experience with Handsprings support. The first time, the screen on my Visor Edge shattered. I'm not sure how, just woke up one morning and it was so. I had had it for about 9 months and ended up paying $80 for a "new" unit. A day or two later I got it and sent my old one back in the same packaging. A month and a half later my "new" Edge died. I called tech support and it turned out that my unit was a referb, they sent me another. I'm still up and running with it.
So, with the visor edge you get poor quality and good support. I hope the long-term quality on the Treo proves to be better. They look like cool devices.

Damn, I love that site. Hot/exotic chicks!
On topic, new CPUs are awesome. They drive the price of mid range CPUs down, this allows more people to upgrade. More people upgrading allows game developers and whatnot to develop applications that require more power.
With that said though, the HD is where the most development is needed.
Their dual Athlon 1U was unique and a very cool setup. Two palos, 2gb ddr ram, a scsi raid and a few scsi hard drives... in a 1U case. And it was very well layed out.
Momjian believes forking would be impractical as well as impolitic, and Red Hat's London offered the assurance that, "We don't intend to fork the code."
Sounds like they arn't going to fork the code. I would think that most/all of the stuff they add to Postgre could be a compile option (ie RPM intagration)
If someone will go to all the trouble to buy a $150+ video card just to see through walls, I believe that they would no less likely spend the five minutes searching to download the superwallhack cheat for Half-Life.
Your missing somthing here. Said gamer is already going to buy the $150 video card. Asus is just giving him/her a reason to buy their card over all the other video card manufactures.

btw; I'm of the frame of mind that this sends out the message that cheating is "okay". Which, its not. It sucks for those of us that don't have more then a few friends to play with.
"Another interesting thing to note though is how this board is going to be 1U ready.. (Notice the angled memory sockets, this is so that 'tall' memory can still fit within the 1U enclosure.) "
Yup. I believe we will soon see vendors with dual Athlon 4 @ 1.4ghz +, 4gb DDR ram, slim CDROM, floppy, SCSI RAID card and a few SCSI drvies all in a 1U case. The cooling solution they will be using is pretty sweet.
According to his plans, a pickup truck will be waiting to drive him to a group of bleachers where fans and 12 Hooters bar girls will pour champagne all over him.

Yes, they melt faces.

It just means that their MySQL server is overloaded. MySQL blows.

Oh, weak! The worst picture of myself, ever, is the only one (out of I would say 20 or 30) that comes up! How lame is that?

Think of all the hot chicks that are going to look me up and go "ewww, nasty"!

Ohhh, an OODB. Sweet, are there any OS ones yet? Not that I know of...
If this is the case, good idea RedHat.

But you forgot Ritule is making Jedi Knight 2 (aka Dark Forces III) with the Quake 3 Engine. Yeah!!!

Not that I know anything
Really, I don't. Welcome to America.
Serious, Ill pay (and do pay) good money for native games. As other people have pointed out, native == faster and fps (and the like) need to be fast.
I love being able to play (re: kick their asses) Tribes 2 with my windows "friends". Hope loki can keep going.
-jason m
BTW: Shamless plug for tux games. They where good about getting me Tribes 2 and SMAC and keeping me updated though the delays.
