Do the chipsets need to support AGP in order for AGP to be included on mobos? IN other words is it possible to include an onboard PCI_Ex device that handles the AGP card much like current mobos have onboard PCI devices for RAID, sound, ethernet, etc? If it is possible then AGP support will be left entirely up to motherboard manufacturers who, I'm sure, would include it to tout it as another feature.
For some strange reason this makes me think of MacDonald's from Coming to America.
Anyhow I don't really think these knockoffs are in any way a substitute for the original. I think of them more like a can of Coke you have at home and drink after eating takeout from McDonald's.
This isn't even an upgrade. Most AMD chips can do 200 FSB now, or 400 if you count like they do. They are just going to officially support the speeds that people have been getting for some time now. Its actually the chipset manufactureres that made it possible. Some people have been able to get T Birds to hit 200+ FSB on nForce 2 motherboards.
A concert recording is not the same as a studio album. Many fans just want to hear different versions of their favorite bands. Some bands put up mp3's of their concerts on their own websites. Primus has been doing this for years.
I think it is a cool idea provided they don't try to rip off fans by charging 20 bucks per disc
Idiotic design. I hate the fact that everytime something cool like this comes along that the storage is seriously lacking. As a side note I remeber hearing a salesperson at Best Buy telling Someone that the 6 Gigs in the Creative Nomad was more storage than anyone would ever need:)
I agree with the point that exposure to digital audio does not stimulate the brain as much as the real thing but the author's conjecture that this technology will lead to loss of aural acuity is assinine at best. People still talk to one another and have to hear a cacophony of analog sounds every day so there will be no loss of stimulation. As a species we developed this sense of hearing with far lessw available stimuli and it never went away.
Sure many theories are computationally guelling. So what? If they actually predict something that is measureable then they are good and computers can be programmed to calculate their effects to arbitrary acurracy. Pre Big Bang theories are just pure speculation especially since there is no definative theory for engergies attainable in this universe. We can only measure in the TeV and these clowns are working on a theory to deal with >10^20 GeV energies. Come on! This is speculative mathematics not physics.
I have absolutely nothing to add becaus you hit this one on the head. It was a bad article and it is a shame that ignorant people will read something into this failre.:(
Putting VHS > DVD I would make it SVCD (just in case) SVCD will get you ~ 2hour per 1.5 GB so you can do over 50 hours of sVHS quality on the 40 GB disc
This makes no sense. If such a device does exist either there is a problem with it or the prices you quote are way off. care to elaborate or provide links?
Have you seen what is widely popular? A bunch of crap if you ake me. I'd like to see this trash disappear and for more intelligent programming ot take its place.
I taught freshmen engineers Calculus a few years back and these kids were so bad at algebra I almost wanted to cry. Some of them acted like they had never seen a fraction. Some kids seem to get the impression that math is too hard therefore they shouldn't bother. Teachers need to get the kids to understand that algebra may be difficult to get at first but it becomes second nature to those who practice alot. They should just drill the students day in and day out and threaten to fail them if they don't do their homework. This type of approach is taken in many asian schools and I can tell you one thing asian, as in from Asia, students are really good and quick with all of the basic and intermediate mathematics.
Heck even art students need to pass the algebra exam if they expect to get any type of college degree. I honestly think that many High School teachers don not demand enough of their students. As a result some universities see nearly a 40% dropout rate for freshmen.
After dealing with college freshman I really think that our public school system is in need of a serious overhaul. Setting standards higher then they are now is a good place to start.
I thought they were testing the TV version of popup ads. Its gonna end up like Headline News where 1/3 of the screen is news and the rest is info. the info her being ads of coirse
Berman is an asshole for cutting Wils scene. From a personal perspective he should have allowed the guy to have his tiny scene in the huge movie. What a Dick that guy is
You have to go out "far enough" in the exponential because N^x+1/(x+1)! > N^x/x! you have to keep going until N/X is negligable. Exp(a*N) always grows faster than N^n regardless of how small a is (a>0)
I would love to see a consulting firm choose the standard. Perhaps film makers could have an input as well. They need to just pick a standard that can atleast meet that of the high end TV's out there now.
Nothing else to say really. If I want a console it is for games. My PC is my entertainment workhorse. The console is convenient because its just for games and usually games that aren't as well suited for PC. PC games are in a league of their own and I like it that way

Thanks for stating it. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. Funny thing is that m$ office autocorrects the word by default so people may never learn.
They can float the bill for this but they cannot give us grad students decent health care.

Its not out anywhere! You lie

You are so full of it. My System is much better than yours:
GF4 Ti4200
Asus A7NV8X DX
AMD AXP 2400+
yadda, yadda, yadda
And still I can see that MY GF4 card is struggling. If I turn on all the AA and crank the resolution to 1600*1200 the thing struggles.
Sure I can play games at moderate settings with no problem, but maximum settings, NO WAY!

2 50 GB discs or 2.5 40 GB disc are much easier to deal with than 22 DVD (+/-) r's

Ahh LOL that is funny. The whole thread was a riot too.
A quantum computer could do this in no time. Of course someone would have to build a really big one to do a 1024 bit number.
You cannot waste an electron! Electrons can only be anhilated by collision with a positron or some other elementaty particle reaction.
