  1. Re:Can someone tell me NVidia's business model? on NVIDIA Releases Source To CUDA Compiler · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, They are making some of the best mobile/low-power solutions with the Tegra family of chip-sets.

    I also believe that it's still going to take some time before the integrated solutions (Intel IGP and AMD Fusion) are good enough to replace discrete graphics for gamers - where they are strong today.

  2. Re:Svlabard has a 5 TB cable? on Undersea Cable Map Shows Where The Data Pipes Are · · Score: 4, Informative

    Svalbard is an island in the Arctic Circle, with no permanent population.

    There are over 2000 permanent residents that disagree :)

    An new use for the HCFoperand! ^_^

  4. Re:This is not only happening to Apple on Apple iBook G4 Design Flaw Proven · · Score: 1

    Why, yes :)

    http://www.lovdata.no/for/sf/md/td-20040601-0922-0 02.html#2-5 - That would be Section 2-5 in "Forskrift om begrensning i bruk av helse- og miljøfarlige kjemikalier og andre produkter (produktforskriften)." Or, directly translated, "Regulation regarding use of health- and environmentally dangerous chemicals and other products (the product regulation)"

    This explisitly bans the production, import, export, sale and use use of lead based shotgun shells. Funny enough, lead is still allowed in normal rifle ammunition and, as far as I know, used and allowed as fishing weights.

  5. Re:What can Google do on Google Working on Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    Nitpick, I know - but I don't belive that Linux is supposed to replace NDS aka eDirectory. Rather, I'd think that it is supposed to replace/complement the Novell OS as such.
    Makes sense since the Novell OS at least up til ver 5.0 ran directly on top of DOS (often FreeDOS or DR-Dos).

  6. Re:A Romeo & Juliet "Happy Ending"? (OT) on Australia To Adopt U.S.-Style Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Ah! Another Discworld-fan :)

  7. Re:MythTV worked brilliantly on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 1

    No, the PVR250 does hardware encoding.

    The PVR350 does both hardware encoding and decoding.

    There was an earlier version of the PVR250 that had hardware decoding, but the current on only encodes.
