I wish that I could tell you, but I would like to buy one. The sites selling it list it as having around 3 hours of battery life, which I expect that to be good for an AMD notebook. Many pundits here do keep saying that the Pentium-M chip and Centrino chipset are great for long-lasting notebook batteries. AMD hasn't gone to the lengths that Intel have to make low-power Notebook chips, but they do offer notebook parts that will run AMD64.
The dodgeball championship is shown on an obscure channel: ESPN 8, "The Ocho", with the tagline "If it's almost a sport, we've got it!" (Which EPSN channel showed the National Spelling Bee of SpellBound?)
The WinXP versions of Deer Park Alpha 1 & 2 have them compiled and enabled. I suspect that the nightlies have them too, so grab a nightly snapshot. The Deer Park Alpha 2 I'm using is 20050719, and the developer.mozilla.org site says these Alpha versions are just nightlies.
I rate highly Thieme's words on his site (Thiemeworks.com and his comments at Islands in the Clickstream), but the article linked from here is very hand-wavy and contains too much hot air.
You may have to forgive the guy for continuing to process the world in terms of his religious background: the mystery at the Unknown Other, the power of the symbols we use to communicate Good and Evil, humanity's need for the company of other humans and the need to treat each other person with respect and dignity (although too few religious people hit this last target...).
So they pick a different number for the next widely-available and publicly-distributed version of the browser. Slashdot has sensational headline, with the late movie still starting at 10pm.
In truth, it's only a new name, and I've got used to that from MoFo...
plastic is stronger and more shock aborbant than metal Off the top of my head, I'd have to challenge your claim about '..stronger..'. But the actual answers will depend upon which plastic you meant, and what qualification of stronger.
'More shock absorbent' stands because of the flexibility inherent in plastics' (er) plasticity.
However, I would put my trust in the strength of a titanium version of any object over a plastic one any day. I suspect that bad design of the casting (insufficient second moment of area) would lead to the Titanium and Alumninium structures on the PowerBooks failing due to moments greater than the structure can handle.
I thought that Slasdot worked differently to other websites: we the readers submit stories to this web log and people read and comment on them. In this case, this story will have comments meaningful to it, and people will make helpful suggestions.
Low quality of stories is your fault as much as mine.
The Rage cards had Rage Theatre chips on them, which should easily allow a chip as flabby as the K6-2 and K6-3 to play DVD video smoothly. Were you making use of the Rage Theatre?
I think, if you look carefully at the security monitors that Obi Wan uses in Ep III, you can see a browser window open to Netcraft, confirming the death of OS/2. Another screen has Natalie Portman and Hot Grits on it.
(The reference shows that it was an evil -- why not <Object> for any kind of extra inserted file? -- Andreesen did while at NCSA. The <Blink> tag was invented by Lou Montulli; additional reference if the wikipedia isn't sufficiently trustworthy).
I think my words never went near "frontside bus" (The HyperTransport bus used in the Opteron is the same thing used in the G5 Macs and XServes. Both AMD and Apple are in the HyperTransport Consortium.). Am I too lax in using the term 'bus' to refer to a chip interconnect?
Anyway, thank you for helping me better understand where Hypertransport fits in both AMD's 64-bit chips and Apple's G5's. But your claim about my comment was wrong too. So ner.
I think that Advanced Risc Machines's (the company and difficult punctuation) current place as a seller of chip designs and manufacturer of chips makes this discussion moot. ARM chips exist; ARM is a company; ARM are designs which other companies license.
[OT] I'm tempted to get my ARM3-powered A5000 out to play with Debian. Unfortunately the installer require 6 times the RAM the machine has. Is there an easier Linux distribution to use on (as BSD call it) ARM26?
Google tells me that AMD use Hypertransport to have Athlon 64's talk to the system, to have Opterons talk to the system and to each other.
Google also tells me that Apple use Hypertransport in the present line of G5's to connect their disk drives, USB and Firewire items to the system bus. While not explicitly saying that HT is used for everything -- particularly the memory interconnect we're arguing about here -- the link does hint strongly at this being the case.
I got quite far writing that response and then wondered if you had meant it that (albeit less obvious) way.
Would a P4 running cool at 4.8 GHz with a HyperTransport interconnect at 2.0 GHz to the rest of the system be an appealing chip? Sadly, it can only be fantasy...

The license you agree to when installing or upgrading Internet Explorer requires you to have a Windows license in order to use it.

The original iBooks? What idiots! :P

This is Slashdot. I'm surprised that people here don't have more talent with ASCII art...
D'Oh, silly me. I forgot I paid ATi some money for a copy of the ATi DVD player install CD.
Crumbs. Pyrrhonist's done well for Karma from all of that!
His first line or his second? (It could be either, could it not?) :-)
Deep Thought is crap at chess. It outputs all of its moves in simple notation: "42".

It's just the absence of much L1 or L2 cache that makes you think it's a 366 KHz chip! :)
Meta-moderation's a real pain in the backside...

Celerons at 366 Kilohertz? I guess you must be underclocking to go fanless...
...in a galaxy far away?

Isn't Marc Andreesen credited with the tag?
