The PowerMac G4/350 was introduced on August 31, 1994. They claimed a gigaflop sustained, 4 gigaflops peak., but I'm not sure if it was LAPACK, LINPACK. some other benchmark, or theory. Of course, altivec does nothing for double precision. (This is probably why IBM stuck two FP units in the 970)

Other than the rarely seen idiomatic form of the phrase that you favor, there is the fact that 'to beg' means 'to ask'. Therefore 'to beg a question' is the same as 'to ask a question'.
In debating. the "question" refers to the topic to be resolved. For instance, suppose that the question at hand is "Resolved: Ethics are Universal."
The universalist, for some reason, is flailing. He then argues that "Every culture has mores against murder."
But, murder is succinctly defined as "wrongful killing". In arguing that murder taboos are representative of a universal ethic, he is asking the audience, in fact, begging the audience, to grant him the question, without actually addressing the crux of the issue: "Is there are a universal ethic that defines certain conduct as wrongful?"
I believe you are yourself "begging the question" in suggesting that " to beg' means 'to ask". Implicitly, you asking the audience to accept that a thesaurus is transitive, and that "begging the question" is an example of colloquial english.
The shareholders approved the option offering, and take that stock dilution into account when figuring out what the stock is worth.
In many cases, "taking the stock dilution into account" is easier said than done. The compensation committee may award a variety of different options at different times, with different strike prices. If companies were required to expense options according to a standardized formula, then individual investors could more easily evaluate this fudge factor.
WTF does 'allot' mean? Try as you may, there is no such word in the (either) English language, and using it multiple times really, really, makes your point, well, pointless.
Generally, it's a good idea to consult a dictionary before speculating on whether a word exists. As a bonus, you'll discover the proper spelling, usage tips, and even a quick stab at a definition. That last function, though, is somewhatlimited
When the pentagon buys a new weapon system, it hires a contractor to design, test, and build the system, for x billions of dollars. If the pentagon decides that it wants more units above and beyond the original contract, it can buy more, usually at a per unit cost far below the original price.
It might just turn out that buying hundreds of cruise missiles will be cheaper than paying for the railgun research and design, the railgun testing, the installation of railguns on various ships, and the cheap ammunition.
Of course, offsetting the comparative cheapness of the precision made rounds ($3000 each) will be the sunk costs associated with overruns, cost-plus, graft, and other common characteristics of the military procurement process.
So? Not all of us are into reading military porn. Besides, the Navy's plans were previously described in a fully buzzword compliant series called "Sea Power 21" in the Naval Institute Proceedings Magazine back in 2002--2003.
There are two different standards for over the air television transmission in the United States: NTSC and ATSC. NTSC is the older standard, and provides for 525 interlaced lines of resolution, transmitted in an analogue fashion, with a funny mechanism for splicing a low quality color signal onto a standard originally designed for monochrome television. Thus the perennial joke-- NTSC stands for "Never the same color."
ATSC is a mechanism for delivering a MPEG stream over the airwaves. This stream can be High Resolution (HDTV), medium resolution (EDTV), or low Resolution (SDTV). Generally HDTV delivers 720 lines, or 1080 interlaced lines; EDTV, 480 lines, and SDTV, 480 interlaced lines of resolution.
SDTV is essentially equivalent to a DVD. Its color components are much more stable than a NTSC broadcast, assuming that you didn't try to go the cheap route, and once again commingle the signals on a composite or Y/C connection.
The Linpack benchmarks are IIRC, double precision. Since Altivec can't manipulate doubles, it can't account for much of the performance. Instead, the PPC970, like most superscalar processors, can execute multiple instructions at once. The PPC 970 also contains multiple (two?) FP cores, which makes up for Aktivec's deficiencies.
Virginia Tech's machine sustained 10280 GFlops and peaked at 17600 GFlops. The Army's new cluster has half again as many nodes, as Big Mac did, so they are predicting a 25000 GFlop peak. If the new cluster works on embarrassingly parallel problems, they might achieve 25 TFlops. If not-- perhaps 12-15 TFlops is a more realistic estimate.
By themselves, they won't cost very much. But I would expect them to also be equipped with some sort of authentication system, so as to prevent unscrupulous third parties from ruining your name brand system with inferior IP.
And, of course, the initial fuel cells supplied with the laptop will only be half full.
A customer can even order a plane with his choice of powerplant installed. An Airbus 330, for instance, can be ordered with a GE CF6-80, Pratt & Whitney 4000 series or the RollsRoyce Trent 700.
If those gaudy rasters can be believed, SCO believes that Minix is an offshoot of Sinix, and not merely an imitator of UTS Version 7. On some high resolution versions (PS) of the chart, Levenez's intentions seem clear-- the path from UTS V7 merely crosses over the descendency of Sinix. But, of course, if we had access to the original framemaker document, we could ascertain Levenez's intent quite easily (*). It might also be possible to rebuild the structure of the plot from the postscript rendering.

Oops. The correct date is August 31. 1999, and refers to the PowerMacintosh g4/400, 450 and 500 models. The 350 model followed in October.

That's because apple was pulling the old "personal computer" bait and switch.
You can drive two 30" displays with a single 6800 Ultra DDL card. Each of the card's DVI ports is twice as fast as a normal DVI port.
You could watch four HDTV streams at once, satiating your porn needs in one-fourth the time.

Every serious gamer knows that 86Hz is unacceptable. True gamers know: CRT > LCD / PLASMA.
I think he was talking about a CRT. LCDs aren't capable of rendering even 86 frames per second.
However, if you want the absolute highest resolution, a 3840x2400 LCD may be the way to go.
NVidea says that their cards draw 110 Watts ( more if you overclock). So a good 600 watt power supply should be able to handle the second card.
