You really don't want Intel to be the one solely responsible for designing the "next-gen" PC.
If that happens (and it has happened to a great extent, e.g. PCI, AGP), you can be sure that they will do their best to lock-out other cpu & chipset makers.
On the other hand, no one seems to accept innovations by other companies.
The 320 & 540 SGI x86-based workstations dumped the traditional PC BIOS crap, in favour of a workstation style boot-level PROM architecture. And they got criticisms for being non-standard!
People are sheep! (not anyone reading this of course)
This seems to be a good thing for computer sellers, rather than computer buyers.
If the cpu speeds increase in less frequent steps, then the cpu prices will also decrease in less frequent steps (IMHO).
This seems more like an attempt by Intel to "throttle down" the market. Also it makes their marketing campaigns look better if they can demonstrate these artificially-contrived "big improvement steps". Which in turn leads to higher prices asked by Intel, for those big steps.
This seems to be a subtle money grab from the consumer...
Slashdot Mirror
Open Inventor is to OpenGL, as QuickDraw 3D is to RAVE.
Good news!
The best alternative, with today's technologies, is a CANDU nuclear reactor, producing clean electricity to charge up automotive fuel cells.
Voila, no more green house gases, no more pollution.
Bury the resulting spent nuclear fuel deep underground (instead of dispersing GHG's and pollution in our atmosphere), and you've got a nice solution.

Hello,
If the MS Proxy Server is Ver.2, then you can use SOCKS-enabled clients.
Check out
http://www.socks.nec.com/socksfaq.html
Then search on the MS site & elsewhere for info on the "Socks Proxy Service", which is the component that supports SOCKS 4.3a.
Here is how the Macintosh-heads deal with it:

Good luck!
It might be more productive to send John your comments, rather than post them to that useless ZD talkback page.

Would IPV6 prevent Denial of Service attacks?
It seems that this would be a prerequisite for any successor...
Just curious.
