"what good is space, space, and more space when bus speeds are still 133MHz or 266MHz"

There are quite a few applications where massive amounts of storage can outweigh the need for speed. If necessity mandates speed and massive storage, buy several Braille drives and set them up in a RAID 0 config.
The future lies in optical technology. The reason for this: Any drive in which the heads physically come in contact with the storage media is prone to failure. Standard magnetic hard drives fail often enough, but 1024 read heads is just insane. You'd be lucky to have the thing last a year. What we need to be working on is faster read/write speeds for optical media. Where are the 3D optical cubes I've been hearing about?

What a load of crap! it's no wonder Joe Consumer keeps buying Intel's overpriced junk. As long as Intel's marketing Juggernaut keeps tossing around flashy words like "NetBurst Architecture" and "HyperPipeline", Intel will continue to sell chips. I fully believe that they could package shit on a stick, give it a nice marketing spin, and show some weird abstract commercials during prime time, and people would continue to buy it.
This is quite unfair to Frenchmen. Everyone knows that the Nazi's pillaged French castles when they occupied France in the '40's. These poor French people were just trying to get their stuff back.
So what you're saying is that if I could buy the P4, It would cost twice as much as an Athlon that can beat the hell out of it in most performance benchmarks.
Hey, glitch! The Thunderbird 850 has a 200MHz bus! Sometime early 2001, AMD will be releasing a modified version of the Athlon that supports a 266MHz bus.
It's not as hard as you make it seem. Most older albums that were originally released on vinyl or cassette are not remastered before their conversion to CD. Record companies just use the higher quality master that the records are pressed from and transfer that directly to CD.
The original Jimi Hendrix albums were all released on CD from the same source that the records were produced from. Several years ago, the record company (I think Jimi's family has control over his music now) digitally remastered the albums and released a second set of Jimi Hendrix albums.
Sounds like they have so little money from the awfully made products that they have to squeeze every last drop they can into their accounts before filing for chapter 11.
Rambus does not make products. They are an intellectual property corporation that liscenses their ideas and technology to memory manufacturers.
Intel has already requested that the FTC investigate Rambus on the grounds of antitrust violations. The SDRAM standard was developed by Jedec, an open forum consisting of the worlds major semiconductor manufacturers, including Intel, Rambus, Hitachi and others. Considering Rambus' open participation in Jedec, I don't think their claims will have any grounds in a court of law considering the sole purpose of Jedec was to create an open forum with which to share and build upon new semiconducter technology.
I remember that. Time Traveller or Time Cop I believe it was called. If I recall though, the Sega arcade game was about the size of a small car. It was also very loud. It sounded like there was an internal combustion generator or an air compressor inside. I hope these problems have been solved in the new version.
The problem with these types of things is that they fall into two categories - machines that are so totally wrong in what and how they judge things that they aren't even worth looking at, and machines that are right some of the time, and so horrendously wrong when it counts that they aren't worth looking at.
Here's a suggestion, if you find something on the Internet offensive (assuming you are over the legal age), don't look at it anymore. No one is tied down in front of a computer and force fed offensive content. If something offends you, exercise your freedom and turn off the PC or go visit more wholesome websites. For those of us who enjoy our pr0n, leave us the hell alone.
This should not be an issue for children either. It is up to parents to decide what their children should/should not view on the Internet. The government should have no say in the matter.
Actually, at my office, Babelfish was recently blocked when the powers that be decided to upgrade the censorware. I need to use babelfish quite often to translate incoming e-mails from overseas customers, so needless to say, I was quite peeved. According to our "systems support team" the reason it was blocked was because it contains the string BABElfish. What a joke.
When Is Exchange Inappropriate For The Enterprise?
I would have thought the USS Enterprise would have a much more advanced messaging system than Exchange. I guess you have to put the Captain's Log somewhere though.
"The only other alternative is that they are hypocrites, who write this stuff on one hand and look at this stuff on another"
I assume you considered the double meaning of this before you posted. I've been known to "type with one hand" occasionally as well, if you know what I mean?
I was referring to quality over speed. I had the V3 before the V5 and even it looks better than a GeForce. Try running 3dMark 2k on both if you get the chance. The speed is acceptable with both cards, but the voodoo just *looks* better.

Still Wrong.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Cheapest P4 1.4 Ghz =$920US
Cheapest Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz = $488US.
Sounds like a signifigant difference to me.

Those are called singles.

2) I intentionally threw in a goatsecx link.
3) Proper moderation would be: (-1, Flamebait) or (-1, Offtopic)
Thank you.

Here's a link with some more info.
At least with the tactile force feedback, you'll be able to reach in there and strangle that bastard.

How do you think they would score that?
Fires put out
Aerial surveys taken
Women and Children Rescued?
Labels Read for hazardous materials
Sounds like the censorware from the last article.

The sad thing is that he had to stare at that picture for several hours, I mean really scrutinize it, in order to put it in ASCII.
