IBM's "Broadway" CPU is clocked at 729MHz, according to updated Nintendo documentation. By comparison, GameCube's Gekko CPU ran at 485MHz. The original Xbox's CPU was clocked at 733MHz. Meanwhile, Xbox 360 runs three symmetrical cores at 3.2GHz.
"It has in many ways been obvious to the public that the anti-piracy lobby is also operating in their own, very doubtful, legal gray zone," said Piratbyrån member Rasmus Fleischer. "They are dependent on the existence of police officers willing to give priority to the hunting of file sharers over real criminality."
I think it's true that our law-makers and enforcers have a skewed set of priorities when it comes to copyright infringement vs. real crime.
One of the pictures distributed by the Danish Imams was supposedly of Mohammad dressed as a pig. Photocopies featured on many of the news items about the subsequent protests. Of course, it was actually a picture of a Frenchman at a pig-squealing contest. The Danish Imams had either been hoodwinked by someone with malicious intent, or their own motivations were suspect.

Once the tap against the poster has been registered, the transfer takes place via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. So it could take seconds or minutes, it doesn't matter if you stay close enough to the transmitter. It may even appear to the user that the tap transfered the song instantaneously.
Because the iPod is a lower margin device, they have to sell a lot of them to make any money. One way for them to make money would be if iPod sales increased Mac sales, but that's not happening to any great extent. Which is a problem.
It's the floating point results that point to decent gaming performance in these benchmarks, and it really does seem impressive. Of course the Slashdot summary distorts the picture slightly, but that's to be expected.
I agree that dual CPUs provide little benefit to games, perhaps if Apple standardised on two processors developers might take advantage of them?
Someone might have to help me out on when it happened, but the official line is that we now use a thousand million when we talk of billions here in the UK.
Project Loki was the design for a "Super Spectrum" that Sinclair came up with before Amstrad bought them out. Two ex-Sinclair engineers, John Mathieson and Martin Brennan, left and set up their own company called Flare, drawing on the Loki designs to produce a new multiprocessor games console. Atari brought the console to market as the Jaguar. More info here.
I believe that this ESA project will show how a complex space mission can be carried out professionally on a (relatively) low budget without compromising quality.
This is exactly the kind of thing NASA has been trying to do in the past, and could show them the way forward.
My ancestors thought the world was flat and that fire was magic. They thought the gods were punishing them when there was bad weather.
I'll admit that modern Christianity is a major leap forward from all that, but why should it be the end of all progress?
As civilisation matures, we have less and less need for superstitions. Everyone's entitled to them, just realise that many of us left that behind a long time ago.
You are alone in the world not believing in God. Almost every wise or intelligent man around the world believes in God. Where do you stand?
Care to back that up with facts? Pretty difficult, I'd say. The fact is that the wise and intelligent men of the world have a whole array of beliefs, most of which would not entirely match with yours. And still the world turns.
There is a country-wide stolen phone list here in the UK, but unfortunately the unique ID (IMEI) can be changed in many phones if you have the right equipment.
Against their will. You might have heard of the press gangs that used to roam British ports, kidnapping men and forcing them into the navy? They were impressed sailors, although I doubt they were too impressed by what happened.

The House of Lords is no longer hereditary, do try to keep up!
And that Rupert Murdoch is Australian?

Full-sized screenshots that are resized smaller in the HTML! Wonderful!
...they included screenshots in their review? And then submitted it to Slashdot? Server suicide, anyone?
For the hard of thinking, Andover=OSDN=Slashdot's evil overlords.
That doesn't change the fact that no-one in the UK actually uses the 'z' spelling...

Apparently if you write your signature like this:
John Smith > O.K.
on the outside cover of a CD or record, the magic of quantum physics makes the sound better!
A review that includes this as well as the old "freezing the CD" psychological trick can be found here.

I'd hate to see the episode where the debt collectors come round to break his legs.

But with WiFi, you'll be hanging around these hotspot phone booths with your flashy PDA. You might as well have a sign over your head.
Are the TV manufacturers , broadcasters and widescreen owners about to realise that they've only been following a fad for the last few years?
No virus propagation yet though, it is only 0.1 I suppose.
Don't blame me for the above!
It would stand an even better chance of succeeding. Unfortunately it is a hoax.
