Supply isn't the same as manufacture, otherwise a computer manufacturer for the pentagon would have to manufacture their own CPU's, capacitors, resistors, etc.
I see no reaon why they couldn't of bought the hammers from DeWalt/Remington etc, and then supplied those with the whatever (I didn't RTFA).
Intel have been making Flash for years (decades?). And their fabs aren't much if any better (in terms of scale) than those of Altera and Xilinx and probably Kingston, Samsung, Motorola and the rest.
You do know that 65nM FPGA's were on the market before 65nM processors. The reason is obvious, while Intal has to tool and tune a very complicated CPU to get decent yields, all a RAM/Flash/FPGA manufacturer has to do is tune the small amount of cookie cutter design, and ramp up production. As Ram/Flash/FPGA chips are very homogenous, the design is simpler and it is a lot easier to implement fusing to increase yields (at the expense of density).
What is new here is that they are selling a consumer flash (S)ATA device.
In std-C declarations must be at the start of a code block before any procedural statements. Also declarative statements aren't executed, and hence the first uac_alert is not actually alerting you to anything, if you can even get it to compile.
What's more is , as far as I can tell, we have no way of searching patent records besides going to the patent office and paying (probably >$100) to have a patent search conducted. No online archive like with the USPTO.
Well a monochrome sensor is much sharper (3x) than a colour sensor of the same resolution. Though I can see that adding white to a colour sensor will in fact reduce its sharpness, which is kind of pointless. I guess for the niche that care about high clarity monochrome digital, the only option is to get firewire/usb mono CCD's and fit them with lens adaptors.
My point about UV was that if there were separate sites for UV then you could use it to regenerate the blue hues that are visible above the wavelength of the blue pixels. Removing the filter wouldn't have the same effect, it would just result in all the channels being incorrectly illuminated, and overall reduce colour saturation. I can see that being useful for a few scientific applications, but then you are probably better off with a mono sensor and an appropriate set of filters.
IR sensors, while useful for scientific photography, and probably some weird artistic photography, wouldn't be as useful, as the red pixel sensors are usually a lower wave length than the red receptors in the human eye.
With a 20 (40?) minute RTT, and a Gigabit (100M?) radio link, you could store a fairly large amount of data short term on the network. Wouldn't want to use it for anything critical though.
But this is VB.net, an entirely different platform. I don't use either, but we have someone at work who has a lot of VB6 code which is almost impossible to port to VB.net, and has no migration path (for Windows or Linux).
I have tried several times to get him to learn Perl/Python/TCL, and port the code to Linux (our company is primarily Linux based), but have never had any luck.
So when I saw this I thought VB for Linux, but sadly this isn't the case.
I imagine, when Microsoft say Linux they mean the typical Gnu/Linux System. And that the vast majority of allegedly infringing code is either in Samba or Mono. RMS doesn't hold any rights over Samba to the best of my knowledge, and so has no justification in requesting they provide specifics.
Andrew Tridgell (sic?) or the Samba foundation are probably more justified with regards to Samba. It could be argued to be defamation making claims about Samba's infringement if it is not the case.
If Samba is infringing it makes me really wish New Zealand didn't have software patents.
Wow, I wish I could get a camera which had sensor sites for IR, UV, and white (no filter). They wouldn't neccessarily need to be the same pitch as the colour sensors (i.e. maybe one UV cell for every 2/3/4 colour cells).
Especially a sensor with white cells would be great, as it would provide better intensity, especially when you're trying to do B&W shots.
Given that most pro/semi-pro photographers do colour-space conversion (or it's done for you in the Raw processing tool), I don't entirely see a reason camera's only have RGB sensors, especially since the RGB on one camera is most likely not the same RGB on another. For printing you often use 4-7 bands, why not cameras as well.
This is Australia. Almost everybody has Air conditioning. Almost everywhere is in the dessert or on the border of a dessert.
Also homes which have A/C usually also use it for heating (probably not so much in Australia, did I mention it's hot!). Air conditioning, through the magic of heat pumps, actually provides more heating per watt than an equivalently rated bar heater, as it is moving heat from outside and additionally doing work producing more heat, which in any well made A/C is directed inside while heating.
On the other hand I am opposed to mandated energy efficiency, I pay for my power, I should be able to use it how I like. If I use more power, I pay for more power, seems fair enough (fair dinkum in Australian) to me. I wonder what the green party would think of my server farm! I'm sure that uses more power than all the lighting in my house.
Did I mention CFL's really suck for proofing, not to mention that really annoying flicker (they are better than they were). I'm not poor, I shouldn't have to use inferior lighting just because it's more efficient. I like the consistent temperature and flicker-free light from Halogens. I really hope we don't get legislation like that here in New Zealand.
Actually this isn't correct. If your motherboard supports PAE in 32bit mode (most 64-bit motherboards do), then you can use up to around 64GB of ram.
Windows Server 2003 supports PAE, one would assume Windows Vista (i386) also has PAE support (Check before you buy though).
I know for a fact that Linux 2.6 supports PAE as I have many 32 bit machines and 64 bit machines running 32 bit linux with more than 4GB of memory. And it is all available for use.
While your point was true last century, it isn't really applicable today.
I haven't used Blender under Windows (or Windows at all) for quite some time, but the only time I have ever had problems with menu latency in blender was when I tried running it on a P200.
Perhaps you should see if the problem presents itself on the previous version of blender and on the current version with a retail release of Vista, and post a bug if the problem is still present. I would put my money on it being a bug in your OpenGL implementation.
* I haven't had a chance to try this release out yet.
Last time I worked in a store, we were trained to provide the lower of the register or advertised price to keep the customer happy. So if we had left out a sign saying $50 for something $75 we would charge $50, and conversely if the sign said $80 and the product was on special/had been reduced to $30 then it would go for $30.
The exception to the rule was if the item had a $0.00 price as this meant the item was not for sale, usually because it was something special like an internal form or a box of fliers, so if a stock item had a $0.00 price it was always corrected to the signage price.
While I agree with your point about USB being not fast enough, I think you are BS on 1600x1200@100Hz
I run my Sony 21" FD Trinitron monitors (Both Sgi, IBM and Sony branded), and they all only do 1600x1200@85Hz over VGA or 5BNC cabling.
DVI only does 1600x1200@60Hz, and while you could in theory do 1600x1200@120Hz over DVI Dual-link, I don't think there are any LCD's or CRT's which can handle 100Hz at a pixel-clock of 192Mhz. Also The fastest RAMDAC I have seen on a graphics card was 300Mhz, so at 192Mhz, you would have pretty annoying pixel-jitter.
Also HDMI is a scam, we already had HD-SDI for HDTV and DVI and VGA for displays, HDMI seems to be invented purely so I have to replace all by BNC and VGA cabling with $80 p/m proprietary cabling and get shafted with protocol incompatibility for the privilege.
Since even a small black hole carries more weight then our planet and the moon combined. If your statement is true that black hole has more weight (being the forces that apply between two objects with mass) than the earth and moon combined, then it stands to reason that any black hole requires more mass than the earth and moon combined, and hence it is impossible to create a black hole on earth as we lack sufficient mass, and therefore have nothing to worry about:).

That doesn't make sense.

That does sound like a bug in Glibc, it should generate a stack fault.

20m * 60 = 1200 seconds
1200s * 100MB / 2 (error correction) = 60000MB = 60GB
hehehe.
Stupid.
How many tanks would it take to run other said Redmond overthrowers (read terrorists)?
Tianamen style, oh yes!
That seems incredibly stupid to me, as Windows 2003 supports >4GB, and implementing PAE for 4GB and PAE for >4GB seems near-equal in difficulty.
Meh, what should I care, I don't even use Windows.

Wow, that read just like a brady bunch speech.
I was wondering the same thing, why are they using european style numbers in feet, seems kind of strange to me.
Unless they do mean 300TB in 10 square feet, that would be impressive!
Now if they can just get it down under $20K and under 2kW, then that's exactly what I need at home.
Wow a nut calling some other nuts nuts, nice.
