Mainboard Shuttle FB86, Shuttle form factor, proprietary design for SB86i
AFAIK, the term "BTX" applies just as much to the enclosure as to the motherboard. If either is not BTX-compliant, then the machine can't be marketed as such.
I have the PCTV Deluxe, which also uses the USB port. Unfortunately, when using the TV tuner software, the act of changing channels causes the audio and video to be come very choppy (restarting the software fixes this). Changing channels also incurs a 1-second delay.
I have the lastest driver (January 2003) and I've tried it on both my laptop and desktop, and had the same results. I probably won't be buying anything from Pinnacle ever again.
A major point in "The Menajerie" was that Pike couldn't communicate anything besides "yes" or "no". I always wondered why he couldn't resort to Morse code.
The difference between EST and GMT is always the same.
Just as the difference between EDT and GMT is always the same.
I always found it annoying that there isn't an acronym that means "the current eastern time" regardless of whether we're in daylight time or not.
Of course, the only place such an acronym couldn't be used is in parts of Indiana. Central Indiana doesn't observe daylight savings, and is always on EST. Must make life awfully confusing.
If a 3rd-party interface is so bad, the pragmatic programmer would write a thin wrapper for it with a clean interface to isolate the ugliness and make common tasks simple.
There's hope that some super-heavy elements might be stable. If that's the case, they might be suitable for containing fusion reactions, if enough of the element can be synthesized.

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Microsoft's first "Natural" contoured keyboard was a well-designed product, and I could find no fault with it.
But over the years, MS "improved" it by making the function keys smaller, adding a row of multimedia keys, moving the adjustable feet from the front to the back, and worst of all, removing the "insert" key and rearranging pgup/pgdn/home/end/delete and the arrow keys. I refuse to adapt to this latter perversion.
I would gladly pay $100 if I could find an unopened "first generation" Natural keyboard.
Mr. Gates, et. al. are diversifying. No intelligent investor would leave all their eggs in one basket. The reason he sells slowly is to prevent wild share price fluctuations.

With a laptop hard drive, my 533MHz Mini-ITX box peaks at around 18 watts.

registry patches (*.reg) are banned as attachments too.
I'm assuming they'll not be using this material to make golf balls...
Not golf balls. Happy Fun Balls (tm).
It probably doesn't even transform into Mega Maid.

I honestly can't remember seeing an AMD advertisement since the DX4-100 was introduced.
Does AMD even HAVE a marketing department?
While I can't imagine why someone would want one of these, I have to wonder why the article states the device requires a broadband connection.

Most people don't need a computer to factor large prime numbers, since they can do it in their heads. Instantaneously.
Having a different size for each denomination must make bill handling machinery (such as change machines and ATMs) needlessly complicated.
The Pilot G2 is the smoothest and most consistent of any pen I have ever tried. I've used them exclusively since discovering them 4 1/2 years ago.

Perhaps we will compensate by playing back the video at faster than broadcast speed.
