As an EE currently studying Hardware Communications, I'd say Fiber...with latencies in the picosecond range, It'd probably be your best bet...the only question is what kind of terrain do you have between here and there...Microwave might have too much latency. Your Return To Wolfenstein ping times would be HUGE!:)
More interaction in a virtual environment! This means I can ditch this whole "reality" thing, and go into a virtual environment! er...wait...how would that change things now?
Looks like a little while before we have a camera in every household. That will be doubleplusungood. We are still at war with Oceana, right? We've always been at war with them. Unless the Spies of Goldberg have been acting on us again.
Seems that every time we turn around, nvidia has a new chipset... I wonder if any company (I.E. ATI will ever catch up. I also wonder if they aren't just putting a lot of products on the market to cover all bases. It would make sense.
I also think it's what Linux should do, and drive home to IT PHBs.
I live for the day when the question isn't "Linux or NT?" but "Which distro of Linux?"
Some of my favorite games ran in DOS 4GW....Syndicate Wars most specifically....That would be cool to play in Linux.... I think the idea of the Graviton Lance was a concept that most game engines haven't fully developed (Fire a weapon, and tendrils of energy fire in truly random directions (Not just immediate explosino area) creating collateral damage that could hinder your progress later in the game.) Not to mention that Syndicate Wars had one of the coolest openings ever made. And the concept that you were one of two plusungood factions was REALLY cool. No "heroic" marines vs. "evil" zerg, etc.
ok..that's it. Party on. eletcron maces for EVERYONE!
I remember I could tell if the 386 was on or not by how often the Centralized Air conditioning came on. My Celeron 433 runs so cool now I keep it under a blanket for noise protection. Ah....Peltier devices are so cool. (no pun intended). My question is: When are they going to come up with a heat sinking device that runs like the engine block on a car (I.E. the water/freon/liquid nitrogen/liquid helium/butane actually flows in channels built for it within a heatsink block)
Not to be mean or anything, but the IRA has continually bombed the hell out of the place while people have been pleading for peace. People with these attitudes consider peace-mongers weak, and means to an end. They only respond to responses of greater firepower.

If you get the IBM Viavoice libraries, and run ESD, I have made a program that will use the libraries to "speak" his voice. Email me after you've installed it, and I'll get it to you.

Go Enslavement! Er...wait. That's bad. Seriously though, if he thinks that geeks from around the world would line up to get their brains enhanced just to remain superior. Oh wait...they would, huh? I mean, I would at least. Imagine: "I just upgraded to libbrain.2.1.so" Segfaults could have catastrophic reprecussions: "libbowels.3.2.so caused a dump while running sexd". Hmm....could go both ways. For that matter, so does my ex-girlfriend. Oh well. Life moves on.

All things are possible, save Skiing through a revolving door
In the day and age of M$ dumbing down of consumers, AMD is going to try to wipe out Intel's market by making their chips "user-friendly" by making them name brands as opposed to specs. I wonder how long it's going to be before Cyrix comes out with "Mr. Happy Chip"?

One of the things that lawyers will suggest to a whistle-blower like this is to have lunch in their lunch room, and talk loudly so as to get the information across
If I had to choose between a Microsoft Monopoly or and IBM Monopoly, I'd choose the IBM monopoly. They've learned their lesson, whereas MS still hasn't.
You mean Windows isn't secure? Network specialists are being PAID to figure this out? I wonder what happens if a consortium sits down and decides how to make the perfect virus...a friend of mine suggested that having it recompile itself on the system it hit, and contact the last instance of it to recieve updates. Just a thought...
After reading a list of common parasites in Africa, I think I will be staying in the nice, pollution filled skies of Smoggy California. There is one that crawls up the hole in your willy, lays eggs, and then leaves. That's more than enough to keep me away, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.
Hmm....M$ using their own "Standards" as IP to zing others with. Sounds a mite close to what Rambus did (sigh). My question is: Does mono have to be written in C#, or can a replica be made in C, C++, etc? IANAC (I Am Not A Coder), but as long as the protocol remains intact, does it really care which language you are using?
Just my $.02,

Well, Hot fusion, cold fusion...as long as there is fusion, I'm all for it...I just hope that it doesn't create ungodly amounts of EMF fields and reset everyone's palm pilots.:)

Intel gets it right! Morce_Cache==Good_Thing. Was anyone else scratching their head over the 8k of level 1 cache on the Pentium 4?

Does anyone have a website documenting this?

The point is, no interference from EM stuff, reliable connection, TONS of bandwidth, and no LOS stuff. (what's not to like?)

There were three factions....not two...'cause at one point in the story, they switch alliances, and everyone acts as if it had always been that way.
