The advertised frequency response is just a advertised claim. More serious claims will include the error (+/- 3db is usual). Usually powered speakers are advertised in terms of watts, though even if it's a perfectly flat amplifier, with no distortion, and the watts are expressed in terms of RMS, rather than PPMO, across the full range, that's no guarantee of loudness-- speaker enclosures and drivers can be spectacularly inefficient.
A typical user of such speakers will find the bass lacking, and attempt to "boost" or otherwise equalize the resulting sound, which will tend to mask the mp3's putative flaws.
I have a 28" Philips CRT TV. I can't find its papers and I cannot be bothered to look on its back for possible power consumption, but according to this page [sust-it.net], it shouldn't be using more than 110-120W. There weren't many larger CRTs made due to their sheer weight.
According to the table, the Beko 28" uses 155W, standby. How do you know that your TV uses 35W less than the Beko, except on faith that somehow Philips is more energy efficient than the other brand?
The only way to be sure is to use an accurate, precise power meter, (but beware, some meters are neither).
The Japanese also used biological and chemical weapons (WMD classified in with nukes today) rather extensively on the populations in china, and also did a lot of pretty horrific experiments on live human prisoners, both civilian and military.
The choice to classify biological, chemical and nuclear weapons under one umbrella is, in the end, a political choice.
Let's look it another way. Scientists like computing in double precision, not single precision. The errors accumulate as a result of some operations, and double precision cuts down on the noise.
The GTX 295 is capable of 1789 GFLOPs in single precision mode. For double precision, it's about a tenth of that (149 GFlops). Suppose the drivers detected the linpack binary and started to compute the benchmark using floats-- instant speed increase, at the cost of wrong answers. Some applications don't need double precision, and for those, the single precison figure is meaningful. But the programmer, not nvidia's marketing department, should decide when extra precision is needed, and where it is not.
Granted, a game is not a critical application. A slight degrading of graphics quality is not the end of the world. But, still, the gamer should be the one to make the tradeoff, not the graphics driver.
Oh, so you like your video cards to sacrifice visual quality for frames per second, and "everything on ultra high + glassy smoothness" is not a something you look for when selecting a shiny new video card?
It's a netbook that has to be plugged in. Atom NT270 + Intel 945G Maybe the broadcom chip helps things along, but the specs seem a bit underwhelming. Does it struggle to maintain framerate at 720p?
Microsoft is trying to deflate the "John Hodgeman as PC" meme. So, since everyone knows that it's not appropriate to pick on little girls, "Windows 7" is personified by the (almost) seven your old girl in the ads. Apple looks like a big,meanie. Why not give her a little birthday party, with cake, and games, and clowns, and.... OMG PONIES!!!
Those who denounce capitalism deny that he should be able to own any of those; they're the property of the State to redistribute. Note that that list includes the builder's mind and body
Should the builder have the right to sell his mind and body, and not just rent it out?
I really wish people would stop calling "capitalism evil". Capitalism is nothing more than your neighbor building a chair, or bed, or whatever his specialty might be, and you saying, "That's really nice, can I buy it or give you something else for trade?" That's capitalism and it's not evil. It's the basis of human interaction between neighbors and goes-back 5000 years.
So.... where does capital enter into this little exchange?
Those guidelines are for parties who wish to use Apple trademarks in advertising-- computer stores, for example. An apple cidery is unlikely to sell ipods on the side, and would have little need to license the logos for use in its own advertising.
When people "dock" their laptops, they usually aren't running off batteries-- which means that the video chipset can run a little faster. Perhaps they can even use a supplementary card, like a 9600 GT. And they can use an external display-- perhaps even a 30 inch. USB Video, on the other hand, is poorly accelerated, if at all, and tends to be low resolution. USB2 simply isn't fast enough.

Apologies. a 2.8 Ghz i7 is a $200 option.
It's an i5, not an i7.
A/UX's last stable release was in 1995.

Calm down. Take a stress pill, and think before you post.

Perhaps he should upgrade to POWER7, or install a z10 mainframe. How does 4.4 GHz sound?
Maybe you should check out Marcuse, then.
The first 3 GHz Xeon (Prestonia) was based on a 130nm process and had 55 million transistors That was in 2003.
The current 3GHz Xeon (Gainstowne) is based on a 45 nm process and has 731 million transistors.
Maybe you're thinking of a different Moore's law?

Unlike the "cool" option of actually transmitting low power ATSC on an (unused) channel
I'm not sure that the FCC would like this very much.

Werent there some studies shown that a mainframe was actually more energy efficient than a cluster?
Studies have shown that marketers are 75% more likely than the average person to use the word "myth."
Why you insensitive clod! Now you've made her cry.

But has he negotiated a license to use said tools?

Most people believe "the arithmetic mean" and "the average" to be synonyms, though there are many sorts of averages.

perhaps intel's Light Peak will meet your data processing needs. Just wait until next year.
Bluetooth? 802.11n? You can plug in the displayport yourself.
