All the reviews have pretty much shown that there is little difference between 940-pin and 939-pin versions of the chip, and even 512KB L2 vs. 1MB L2 doesn't make a big difference. Afterall, in the vast majority of applications, are you going to notice a 5% increase in speed?
This is a nice starting point for AMD to ramp up their line of consumer/low-end workstation chips, given that registered RAM isn't required. Higher end workstation users and servers will still want multi-processor systems with registered RAM, so no real change there.
Integraph has just recently gotten Intel to pay them a large sum of money for patent infringment on, you guessed it, the pentium processor. In their case it involved the technology with the memory. Integraph is now off to sue everyone who used the chips who were not covered under the Intel deal. They just got a settlement from Gateway, and are supposedly aiming at HP next.
I imagine that the success that Integraph has obtained, which was after a very long, drawn out battle that took years, has given this company the idea that they can indeed win a suit against Intel, and given the precedent of the Integraph case, far quicker than Integraph.
Will this work with other materials?

The article seems to imply that the technique would be applicable to existing materials, but also seems to imply that it has only been show to work for lead-selenium nanocrystals. So will the technique of using nanocrystals work with other materials? If not, will incorporating the lead-selenium nanocrystals in a matrix of conventional material, nanocrystal-sized or otherwise, generate two electrons/photon? And finally, does the cost of making the nanocrystals make the whole thing not cost effective, other perhaps in something like spacecraft, where every once saved is of tremendous worth?
Unless Cisco licenses the technology and other companies bite, I don't see this getting very far on the Internet. Too much of the backbone is comprised of equipment from multiple vendors. I work for a large Tier 1 ISP. Most of the edge routers are Cisco, but the core routers are Juniper. Things get even messier in a Co-location data center, where customers can be using who knows what brand of equipment to connect to the data center's network.
In addition the stuff is photolytic by UV light. The PDF states the stuff would be expected to last about five days when exposed to the atmosphere. Fluorescent lights put out a fair amount of UV, so if it were used for cooling, it would have to be a well-sealed opaque tank.
Sure, until ions are leeched out of the components, allowing a current to flow.
In a lab that I worked in we had water that had been passed through several kinds of filters and ion exchangers. You were good to go when the machine said that it had 10+ megaohm of resistance. We stored the water in clean glass bottles, but after about a week had to dump it because the ions leeched from the glass.
The "wait 45 days" is likely in reference to the anticipated released of the 939-pin version of the Athlon 64 FX-53. The present 940 pin version requires registered RAM, which slows it down a bit. The 939-pin version will work with unregistered RAM, allowing it a boost in speed in many applications.
Um, there are no 5.1GHz Prescotts for sale anywhere, nor are there likely to be anytime soon. Essentially they were achieving something that could not be purchased for any amount of money off the shelf.
I had my overclocking phase, but realized that I really wasn't getting that much more out of it that justified the time and energy expended and the issues that I had to deal with.
MRI tends to operate in the area of 1T, which is 2000 - 10000 times stronger than the fields used in this study.
There have been a number of studies in the past that have tried to link exposure to magnetic fields to cancer (particularly leukemia in children who live near high voltage power lines). It has generally been scoffed at, as the energies involved are not enough to break chemical bonds. However, by involving iron and free radicals, the energies involved can have an impact on reactivity.
Makes me wonder, given I did my Ph.D. dissertation in a lab that studied free radicals, using machines that generated fields of 0.3T (note, not mT) for hours at a time...
Given how well HP has performed since the merger with Compaq, perhaps it would be in that company's best interest to outsource the CEO. I'm sure they could save a considerable sum vs. Carly's paycheck.
I still use Google quite a bit, but when Google gives me a mess that's hard to parse with subsearchs, I go to turbo10.com. Metasearch engine with clustering of topics much like Northern Lights had. It often gives me relevant links faster than Google does.

Unfortunately, Lexmark engines are found in some special-use printers. An example that deal with are the Primera line of inkjet CD printers. They are all Lexmark engines, which means it's a crap shoot whether or not the print cartridge will actually work in your $1000+ printer.

CC is not an allowed base pairing. It could be GC, AT or TA instead, but CC would be recognized as a defect and repaired.
Plextor has only recently come out with DVD-ROM drives, and no burners. They seem to be slow to get into DVD burning, perhaps in part due to the lack of a uniform standard.
It seems he tries to say that it is impossible to make it 100% secure, because hackers are becoming more sophisticated in their attacks.
Sure, you can't make anything 100% secure (short of keeping it turned off), but there is a difference between something that has a few exploitable holes and something that resembles a sieve.

"Open Source Development Labs Inc.

So OSDL gets a nomination for being the standard bearer for Linux, and SCO for trying to be the pallbearer.

I sometimes sit back and think about some of the various projects that first saw life on the NeXT platform:
the first web server
Webcrawler
Doom and DoomII
Pretty good for a machine that only sold ~70,000 units total, not including the versions of NEXTSTEP for ix86/SPARC/PA-RISC.
I still have a Color NeXTStation stashed away in a closet. I was using it as a print server till about two years ago.

Why on Earth would highly educated workers be willing work for minimum wage?
Talk to any postdoc fellow about that. It might not be minimum wage, but it certainly isn't what you'd expect a Ph.D. to be earning.

Methane, Benzene, Toluene and Caffiene are all organic, but none of them contain oxygen.

Why would someone who is wanted for 21 murders be bagging groceries?
He was talking about SNPs, which are single base pairs. No mention at all about looking at a single strand.

CC is not an allowed base pairing. It could be GC, AT or TA instead, but CC would be recognized as a defect and repaired.
