Even more, you can clock the reimplemented functionality even higher than the original one, and use this to make up for a slower, but better surface optimized design.
Except that when the xbox 2 is released (2006 ?), it will be five years since the original xbox was released. That's about four Moore's law generations. You can reimplement the functionality (basically the instruction set) on 2^-4 = 1/16th of the original surface.
And if you design the chip cleverly, you can even reuse the on-die caches and possibly more.
This all without a very significant surface loss. And I'm sure that +- 5% surface loss is fully justified by the myriad of Xbox 1 games xbox 2 owners will want to play. Both of them.
Not always entirely true. Many modern buildings use another approach : build a compact concrete core, fix the top story on top of it, and hang every stories to the top story via cables. Looks like tension to me. Agreed, there is also compression of the core, but you could argue the same about the air lifting the balloon.
The first example I can think of is the Berlaymont building down my street, that has been being rebuilt for the last 15 years.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - historical era Middle Neolitic was found dead in Stonehenge this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to world history. Truly an European icon.

What I always wondered is the following: if two ten years olds take their own pictures of themselves having sex, then wait till they are old enough to view said material, and post it on their own website, is this still illegal ?
Why indeed are virgins better ? The whole "point" of the virginity --> lack of virginity experience is supposed to be linked with doing it with "the one".
Kinda pointless when there's 69 other virgins behind you.

Actually I meant Halo and GTA when it will be out.
With hindsight, "Both of them" also refers to the xbox ownes in the grandparent post

No it's not ironic. Nowhere in the article does it say that the hardware scales.

Now, who's the idiot ?
Middle Neolitic, era, dead at 5000

This puts NORAD's WOPR to shame...

Good analogy. Everyone on slashdot thinks IBM is very lame, supporting that fancy schmancy linux thingy and stuff. What a bunch of losers IBM are.
the bitch is ugly

Can some fanatic muslim explain to me ?

Now Bush will not need $100 million to buy the election. Just hiring Kevin Mitnick for a mere $1 million will suffice.
Therefore, he will not need to get bribed by the military industrial complex and the tobacco lobby.
Therefore he won't have to act as their bitch once he is (has) elected. This is good news !
-So, if it weighs as much as an elephant, it is made of ivory
Bedevere : And therefore ?
-A piano !!!
Crowd : A PIANO ! PLAAAAAYYYYY !
That's what slashdat needs. Spalling is not "compatable" with nerdness. At least the British are coherent in their massacring of the latin vowels.

No one will sell you a 20$ cell phone (without a subscription). When the value of a cell phone hits 20$, it has been retired for some two years.
no, Challenger = 1986. I postulated the kid wasn't self-aware before 1987, for thinking the world of space shuttle crashes revolved around Columbia
Hey kiddo, you know, the world existed way before 1987.
