Except if you where to invest the silicon required for that second core into adding more ALU, FPU etc. units to the first core, and then implemented HyperThreading on this one large core, with a dynamic number of available cores depending on what processing load you have.
This 3km limit is a load of cobbliers. The vast majority of lines will work just fine out to 7-8km, and some much further.
Last year BT did a large in the field trial of "extended reach" ADSL. Basically they hooked any line, no matter what the distance to the DSLAM and let the customer hook up their modem and saw what happened.
In most cases it just worked, and in the cases where it did not work, a visit from an engineer to fit a ADSL filter at the NTE5 (the master socket in the house) and the vast majority started working. In the UK the official estimate from BT is that about 0.2% of all telephone lines will not work with a 512kbps ADSL connection.
The result of the trial is that if you order a 512kbps ADSL line they hook you up regardless. If it does not work you get an engineer visit, and if you are in the unlucky 0.2% you get a refund.
Any ADSL provider enforcing distance limits needs their head examining. The biggest problem by far with long lines not working is the mess of extensions in the house. Solution filter the ADSL signal off at the master socket. What could be simpler.
I will just mention the Freedom of Information Act here. Without anyone realizing it *ANY* record held by the NHS is covered. There is no such thing as private medical records in the U.K. anymore unless you are exclusively using private medicine.
So those Pentium 233MHz MMX machines I used where just figments of my imagination then? In fact there is just such a machine a work driving an old bit of lab kit.
There is to the best of my knowledge no off the shelf SATA PHY chip available. Please correct me if I am wrong. Which is a shame because even with a moderately sized FPGA you could do a full hardware RAID5 SATA-SATA board that would kick ass. Think writes at full disk speed and much lower latencies than even hardware XOR assisted controllers can achieve. Oh and that last one is something people seem to forget about RAID, is that while through put can go up, latency does as well:(
Actually no they didn't, much of the rural area is out by up to 50 feet due to a mistake in the calculation, and it considered to costly to fix the mistake.
Nestle also trialled this back in 2001 time frame int the U.K. under the "Hot when you want" brand. Unfortinately for reasons unknown they never took the product to full market. It was even covered on Slashdot back then so in true Slashdot style we have yet another dupe.
I think most people use the pile of festering dino droppings that is Blackboard for this. I believe it works great till you point 14,000 students at it and have documents that include something other than plain text or really simply graphics.
In the United Kingdom that probationary period is 12 months. Though for certain things it is instant. So if you hire a woman, who when she starts the job tells you she is pregant, if you then sack her, you will be in trouble. Also if the employer is letting people go after 11 months to avoid them getting their years service and protection, they will also get done. The employment tribunal take a dim view of anyone trying to dodge the legislation.
However as he as just one week into his employment he is out in the cold.
Because if the manufacture has to pay to recycle the computer, then it is in the interest of that manufacture to make their computer easier to recycle. Ultimately the computer will be come useless; there where millions of 86 and 286's made yet nobody wants them now. At this point they need recycling. But why would you want to use market forces to solve the problem is a beyond me:)
Only problem with this is I can think of several instances in the U.K. where software companies have been succesfully sued for failure to provided the system as laid out in the contract. Granted it is not often, but it does happen.
Is it rubbish nearly as fast. The top speed of Infiband is 30 times faster than gigabit ethernet, and the lowest speed is 2.5 times faster. By the time you have paid for the Ammasso cards you might as well have gone with one of the other higher speed low latency interconnects.
Except there was prior art on the RAS patent. Technically it should not have been granted. The only reason they got away with it is because the U.K. goverment decided that the prior implementation should remain a closely guarded state secret. So unfortunately your claims that the RAS patent was somehow special fail utterly.
Actually one core with the full resources of your two cores, that implements a dynamic number of "hyperthreading" cores as the currently running processes allow so as to maximize usage of the available resources is the way to go.
Well get the version of the Hitachi 60GB 7200rpm drive that is rated for 24x7 operation then. What I don't really understand is why it is not offered as a build to order option for extra money. As it is you can switch between a 40 and 80GB drive, so why not a 60GB 7200rpm drive. For that matter what is wrong in offering a dual layer slot loading DVD writer as an extra option.
I don't know about elsewhere, but here in the U.K. at least *most* computers (defined as more than 50%) are connected to the internet with a broadband connection. Yet people still don't keep their computers up to date. Clearly the problem is more complex than you propose, and has nothing to do with the speed of the internet connection.
Like I said, probability is sufficient. If it was probably your computer, and it was probably you using it, then it was. Once a probability has been shown, it's up to you to refute it.
That it came from your DSL line is nowhere near enough proof that it was you or even probably you. Apart from it being someone else using your computer, your computer could be infected by spyware/viruses and being used by someone else to mask their tracks. In the UK a huge proportion of broadband internet connections are infected with such nasties. That wireless DSL router could have been hijacked by someone else becasue there is very little you can do to secure WiFi connections. That is just two to start with off the top of my head. I am sure given a bit of time I could think of many more. Tracking any downloading to an IP address proves very little indeed.
In which case the whole concept of cold fusion is utterly bogus as it is impossible to get *any* two atoms to fuse without input of large amounts of energy to overcome the Coulomb repulsion.
On the other hand if it does not involve large magnetically confined plasmas at millions of Kelvin, huge lasers squezzing tiny pockets of gas, or nuclear explosions doing the same, but is taking place with relatively simple apparatus at room temperature we call it cold fusion.
Using a large multi drive tape library, probably less than 24 hours. However the fundamental flaw is assuming you have to write *all* the tapes before you ship, and wait for *all* the tapes to arrive before you start the restore.
It's called a white lie. You answer yes, because you know that you can use it without any problems. If you have any hickups, just blame it on the fact that you are used to some other version of Office. On Windows there is 95/97/2000/XP and 2003 to choose from.

The OWA premium version is an ~240KB ActiveX control. Which explains why it does not work in Firefox or on any other platform than Windows.

But this way they are in part responisble for their ludicrous demands.

Surely they will be all to knackered having just shipped goodness knows how many copies of the new Harry Potter novel to attend a pop concert :)
