For me, the advantage of a TFT over a CRT is not about saving power (although it is nice to save that ~20 a year), it is to have an always-square display, crisp pixels, subpixel antialiased text on the desktop, and more desk space. That, and it doesn't heat my little computer room up half as much in the summer which makes for a more pleasant environment.
If I did LAN gaming, with a modern fast-response TFT I would have a lot less monitor to carry around. Even my 25ms response TFT (AG Neovo F-419) is perfectly adequate for gaming in the games I play. A gamer could offset the cost of the light monitor against future back treatment medical bills!
In a business environment, a TFT monitor is enough excuse to trim the per-worker space from (for example) 8'x10' to 8'x9'. That means fitting 11 people into the space previously occupied by 10, or adding a table football area. Coupled with AC savings as well, and that is a worthwhile investment (not to mention less eyestrain for the workers, + workers happy with cool tech).
150W I could understand, but 350W! Yikes. What type of Orwellian Nightmare CRT was this?
I went from a 100W-150W 19" CRT to a 50W-80W TFT monitor (not that I've measured actual power usage at the plug socket for either). Considering that I use the computer 10 hours a day, 300 days a year, that is a saving of 180kW a year... or about 18 in terms of electricity.
The first thing I had to do with my CPM 2.2 and CPM 3 discs was to make a backup of them. This was in the instructions that came with the system! You had to use a supplied disc copying application!
Shame how sensible practices have been replaced by money grabbing protectionism.:(
Typically, the domain itself (e.g. 'google.com') still resolves, but popular hostnames, like 'www.google.com' will not resolve.
Pwned by CNAME to Akamai?
(You can't have CNAME records for the base domain, hence google.com would have had an A record instead, whilst www.google.com would have been a CNAME to akamai)
Apple have a separate pricing agreement in Europe. Prices wouldn't be affected by the US$ exchange rate. Us Brits are bitching about why France and Germany yet again get the nice end of the deal, despite higher VAT rates.
I can accept that our price has VAT on top compared to the US pricing, but so do the EU prices! I can understand a bit of pessimism in terms of the exchange rate from Apple in case it goes back to where it used to be, but... 99c -> 55p -> 65p inc. VAT. I could accept 70p a track (I assume that not many people like to charge 69p, heh). Apple are making ~12p (~20c) a track more off Brits. 10 million tracks is $2m more for them.
When will we get the Euro so that we don't get ripped off in Europe like we always do? Quite why anyone wants to keep the pound and thus increased prices I don't know...:mad:
My cat has over 500 different sounds, actions and sound/action pairs that mean "feed me", "play with me", "let me out" or "leave me alone".
29 words for snow is nothing in comparison.
Anyway, this is merely simple noise-object association. It is interesting of course, but when that dog can do things like "turn on the light", "put a pizza in the oven" and "fetch me the book on perl"...
12 months ago? I don't believe that the G5's have been out for 10 months yet.
Maybe IBM or Apple do have 3 GHz G5s though. Not enough to make a product from. So they can say that "they are at 3GHz" technically. Anyway, everyone has been having problems at 90nm, and things are a few months behind for all the players.
Give them another few months before bitching about this. In fact I think that people who expect a giant business to owe them anything are rather retarded, to be honest.
It was retarded of Jobs to say "3GHz in a year" as well though. I bet that killed off many a G5 sale as people decided to wait for the 3GHz model. Hasn't he heard of the Osborne effect?
If I can use that WAN port to connect it to my Cable router / switch, and hence the internet, it will be a nice, advanced, home AP. Audio support isn't much use unless I get another to have near the stereo though, although the bridge aspect is attractive.
Looks like this device is a simple portable game console, which is pretty neat.
24x16 tile graphics (each tile is 4 by 4 pixels, looks like 3 level greyscale) leads to a 96x64 resolution. It probably has 4x4 pixel sprites as well. All in all, probably a cut down Gameboy
4MHz CPU, most likely 8-bit but this type of information wasn't on the webpage and I'm not downloading the assember packages to find out. Not much else online either about this device.
Definitely. It looks fine at the moment, but that resource leak is the biggest annoyance. Especially when everything stops responding because Firefox running as the only application starts paging on a 512MB machine.
Everybody is literally covered in living bacteria. Everybody contains living bacteria.
Does everybody that enters this building get taken to grand jury for being covered in these bacteria? I bet the bacteria in the toilets are 200x more dangerous. Meanwhile your 'sleeper' is walking around town putting deadly bacteria and toxins on all push-to-open doors and shopping trolley handles and infecting 100x as many people that would view the artwork.
This is a stupid case brought about by a government that distrusts the people it 'governs'. Something is inherently wrong with this.
I'll still be paying for hardware and running Linux / FreeBSD on it. I'm not paying MS or Sun to get someone else's idea of "good enough" hardware at a per-month contract payment.
The warning at the beginning of the film about night vision goggles being in use in the cinema made everybody crack up laughing at the absurdity of it all.
If you are running on a KT133 motherboard, whilst the Palominos weren't compatible (presumably why you are looking for a Thunderbird core Athlon), apparently the TBreds are. You should be able to run a fast TBred on your hardware without a problem. Best to investigate this online though for your particular motherboard.
If I'd known this myself I wouldn't have spent the massive amounts of money (22) on a new cheap motherboard.
AcesHardware found that disabling the 2T memory timing in the BIOS improved S939 performence by over 10%. The only limitation with this is one DIMM per memory channel.
A lot of reviews you read today will not be using this, and the results will therefore be significantly lower than what is possible.
What are the launch statistics for the Falcon V and the company behind them?
Considering that ESA holds 60% of the commercial market at between $60m and $200m a launch, I really don't think they are worried about a budget $20m launcher costing more than a competitor's. This will only get them more of the market.
And whilst I won't diss the Brazilians, their technology is going to be a lot further behind than ESA who have been around a long time. It isn't like you can't have major accidents with liquid fuel either...

Yeah, this isn't right in my book.

Read up on the Opteron die layout.
This is NOT two ENTIRE Opteron processors plunked on the same die.
AMD have designed the ability to connect to TWO cores into the SysReq part of the processor since the beginning.
The SysReq connects on the other side to a crossbar that connects in turn to the HyperTransport Controller and the Memory Controller.
A dual core processor will still only have a 128-bit memory controller.
AMD have stated that the processors will be socket compatible. This also suggests that S939 and S940 are already future proofed for DDR2.

UK time format: DD/MM/YYYY
I believe the US is the only place that uses MM/DD/YYYY. Most other countries use DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD.
I see that Slashdot is finally posting more up to date stuff.
This is cool, just hope you aren't the soldier that shorts this device by accident!

Same here, except with FreeBSD on this VIA Epia motherboard.
(Seems that FreeBSD does USB death on USB devices for some reason on this system, requiring a quick unplug-replug cycle.)

Unlike sendmail which can scare people away just with the configuration file, the BIND zone file layout and other stuff isn't hard to learn.
So people use what came with the box, what their book on "DNS & BIND" uses, and so on.
Also, everybody else uses it!
Most spreadsheets are overkill for most tasks.
I wouldn't mind some cut down spreadsheet software, a number-processing equivalent of a plain text editor compared to a full blown word processor.
Shouldn't be too hard to create something like this, I'm sure. EasySheet. KSheet. GSheet. OhSheet!
Too much software has been enticed by the lure of features and complexity, at the expense of simplicity and doing what most people need it to do.
Just subsidised.
