i have one. it has clock modulation. the clock modulation works.
however there is zero difference on idle between lowest speed and highest speed. it does nothing for temperatures. zero. nada. zilch. this is in fact what several review sites found and reported, much to their suprise.
because when the p4 is HLT'd, you can't go any slower than that -- the cpu is stopped utterly and completely.
as for being useful by allowing the cpu to run at the lowest speed no matter what the load? well. you can always underclock most any cpu, you don't need cool'n quiet to do that. what's the big deal then?
there's little advantage to speedstep/clock modulation though, at least on desktops. it doesn't really save you any power.
why? because if you use linux or similar OS which halt the processor in idle, you're already placing the CPU in the lowest power state it can possibly be in -- totally halted in most cases.
and when you're using the processor, you're going to want to run it 100% speed anyway -- there's no point in running it 50% speed because it will take 50% longer and thus the same (or more) power to compute the same task.
for desktops you'll generally find that running cpufreq or whatnot will simply result in a slower desktop, and virtually no power savings.
for laptops you're better off using a cpu which is power efficient to begin with, eg the pentium-m or mobile amd64.
bring a copy of the small claims judgement against vivendi to a shareholders meeting. send copies to various journalists, magazines and newspapers.
be sure to forward the judgement to various credit tracking companies too.
such things are sufficiently embarassing that they would probably be forced to act. the cost of bad PR would be worse than just paying what they owe under the judgement.
no matter how much you or blizzard or vivendi want, a contract/eula cannot circumvent state or federal law. just because blizzare or vivendi desire the jurisdiction to be los angeles doesnt mean it circumvents state or federal law which states it might be elsewhere.
same reason why an EULA can't force you into indentured servitude to blizzard/vivendi.
thats all fine and dandy till someone comes up with a distributed cracker (worm? virus?) to get 500,000 rooted boxen silently working the problem. suddenly your 19 years turns into less than 30 days.

use two different hashes to verify the same text. eg MD5 and SHA1.

this is actually what some people do. they use two hashes to verify a single text. it's actually a recommended method in some circles.
maintenance and support not included - redhat does. some restrictions may apply - especially with restrictive commercial licenses. some assembly required - all embedded systems are like that. its the nature of the beast.

in the meantime, ia64 continues to be a black hole for billions of intel revenue.
intel has been beating this dead horse for over a decade and it hasn't lived up to a single one of its design goals, and has never been profitable.
i should have been more clear.
it does nothing for desktop p4's.

you have a right to sue, but not a fundamental right to commit criminal fraud -- which is exactly what he's doing.
it's as criminally fraudulent as the cocksucker who tried to trademark the name "Linux".

there's always KDE.
sure it wouldn't be a wookiee instead?
the only way to stop these sco criminals from ripping people off is to put them in prison. nothing else will be a sufficient deterrence.
it also means they're a public laughingstock. delisted companies are ridiculed.
Yes I have caught intruders with it.
Names? Court docket numbers perhaps? Successful prosecution and imprisonment?
hopefully he will get a good paddling from his cellmate bubba.
he should be on trial for perjury then, imo.
in other words the prosecutor lied.

gnome's usability is still shit.
gnome has always been playing catchup with kde.
the colored gumdrop controls are definitely a problem for colorblind users.
it also violates apple's own well established ui rules dating back to the 1980s. they sacrificed usability for eye candy.
for shame.
overall the idea is good, however...
1) rendering to texture is slow on some GPUs, especially GPUs with limited memory.
2) alpha blending is expensive on almost all GPUs.
imo X needs an overhaul, needs to ditch the legacy crap (lose Xaw for example) and move on. stop interfacing with video hardware like it's 1980.
..Voyager, and then Enterprise proved that the producers have completely lost their marbles, and totally lost touch with the core audience.
As soon as I heard the Enterprise opening theme, I knew it was dead.
I think trek needs to die, and stay dead for another 15 years or so. Only then will it be ready for another revival.
Such wasted effort on tripe like Enterprise, when stuff like Firefly is far more deserving.

i haven't heard of any attacks that work on this.
so adding a (tm) would satisfy the law 100% then.
it seems to do just fine for ads in magazines when companies refer to their competition.
how does their linking violate a trademark?
They could have easily dug their heels in and raged against the Linux tide.
this is in fact what they did do. they used to be one of the most vocal anti-linux vendors around, next to microsoft.
