Statement from hothardware.com looks correct; parent post is mistaken:
"It made more business sense to design a quad-core architecture where one of the cores could be turned off versus a discrete tri-core product design, Brewer said."
"Essentially, the Phenom triple-core processors are quad-core variants with one core disabled. This allows AMD to simply disable one core on quad-core dies for maximum use of a single wafer. "
I'm at UCSF's relatively new biomedical informatics program, which of course I recommend. They restarted the program 2-3 years ago, but of course there's been a lot of active research in spite of that. I hear Columbia is trying to increase their bioinformatics focus (after having a strong clinical informatics program already). You might also want to look into biophysics and similar programs, which have strong math and biology focuses.

Hey thanks, that's very useful.
Pocket Tunes for the Palm (any Palm) plays ogg files. Works great on my Treo 600.
In the google search I just did, while the links are direct, they also are overloaded with javascript to track what you clicked...
The long life battery technology is called "large batteries"....
As soon as I saw the image, I knew you were from Stanford. Brings back memories with Pine on the elaine servers, telnetting from a Mac...
