DVI limited to 8 bits per channel. anyone know if the "DeepColor" HDMI supports what they purport to display? also, gonna need *another* NVidia card; they support a 10-bit DAC and i think some wacky dual-link mode that nobody supports properly, but i sure wish it was 12-bits like the 10+ year old SGIs...
my answer, similarly: principles are discovered. methods are invented. all of it beginning with Axiom. be alert to this, and the abstractions it creates. and a whole bunch of stuff seems to follow the power law at base, strangely enough.
this also is not quite correct. hopefully i can be helpful: a colour space is mathematically defined (continuous, infinitely precise), defined for output-dependent (ie, component) standards by the chromaticity of the primaries. in other words, the ideal. the gamut is the radiometric limit from 0 to 100% intensity within that space. in other words, the real/measurable. the gamut can have concavities and even holes in it.
you could have a very accurate (to 4-bits) 4-bit display of sRGB or even Wide Gamut colour space; it's just not very useful. bit depth for a component colour space defines the granularity with which that space is quantised, whether by data or by display hardware. in one sense you are correct - perceptable error threshold (delta-E) is the main criteria when judging colour accuracy to a standard; there will always be some amount of error trying to match a mathematically-defined colour space. so you need both high (data) bit-depth and accurate (radiometrically) display of that data to achieve perceptual "fidelity".
the main ugly thing about LCDs is that the fluoro backlight is very spectrally spiky, leading to gross error (delta-E) when filtered through the LCD elements, even at a piddling 8-bit depth. also they have a raised black level due to leakage and hence chromaticity at low intensities is hugely compromised (ie - saturated darks of any colour are much closer to grey than they should be) LEDs also have a weird albeit more smooth spectral curve, but we only need to match the eye effectively, perfect black-body radiation, so it should be interesting to see what shows up to market with them.
disclaimer(?): i do colour science for a living. i can tell you that trying to adequately match/proof cinema film display with only LCDs and 8-bit display (DVI limit) is a real bitch.:)
colour space is not bit depth, and bit depth does not affect gamut. referenced bit depth is of 10 bits per channel [RGB]; 24 is silly number. power usage is not per frame. other errors too drunk to continue. clueless poster posting at length again. cheers.

"Hmm. Two questions. Would you view Newton's theory of gravitation a theory, or a fact? Now, would you view gravity itself as a theory or a fact?"
a theory's a theory, and gravity is neither fact nor theory - it is what it is (phenomena, field, whatever). facts are truth or data purported to be true, not a thing itself.
i know it sounds like a quibble, but defining fact as such would be a semantic bobble with unknown but certainly dire repurcussions....
(cribbed from other comments, man ya'll are wordy)
works for small to large projects, succinct version:
requirements -> design -> implementation design phase produces separate functional & technical specs methodologies are tools to be used, not rules to be followed!
...there are likely some good & useful things to be written about the requirements process, but i gotta go. have at it!

HAHAHAHAHA! read between the lines sukkas! it's easy, the print's real big.:P
you can get a good composting toilet system for less than a grand. please post your best option for power generation (quiet, cheap, efficient, etc) and storage if you have experience with this.
obviously the parts are built to take the heat (if not your lap) and you can underclock but that sucks.
my 15" 1gHz tibook loud-ass high-speed micro-fan (internal emergency fan?!? wrong-o.) runs >50% of the time; i keep hoping some Japanese fanatics will come up with a wicked silent cooling system using whatever method. yes, i need all the clock cycles i can push, and quiet! (used as music computer)
i tried an aluminium www.koolsink.com and even though that gets warm all over (aluminium much better heat conductor than titanium), the fan-on time has not decreased appreciably.
P.S. tip: leave yer ashtray on the side where the airflow exits.:)
er, it's generally meant - people who *upgrade* from 10.x. it's a point release, to use a Quake-ism. no one except the clueless are saying OS 9 users who don't get OS X with a system should get a free ride...

yow. good luck selling that.
