You may want to look into the IWILL Dual Opteron SFF PC It's in a small form factor design like a Shuttle XPC, but with support for Dual AMD Opterons.
Even if you don't have the money for both CPU's right now...it's a good start and you could add the 2nd CPU later. This would be the most powerful small form factor number cruncher.
I heard that people that have Doom3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 installed are refusing to install Sims 2. (no matter how much their girlfriend complains)
I would like to nominate myself and Anna Kournikova as canidates to re-populate the earth. Once funding has been approved the practice sessions can begin.
While I do think that the GeForce 5200 is a good enough card for an iMac... (Apple does offer a selection of systems that come with more power)
I hope that soon they will move to the next generation NVIDIA card. Even the baseline 6600 (as opposed to a 6800 Ultra) would give improved performance without a big difference in cost, since the 5200 will start to be replaced by a value NVIDIA 6xxx card.
Of course this may only be due to the timing of the NVIDIA launch and more Apple systems will use cards based on the 6xxx line when it matures.

It seems that their engine is finished, but Half Life 2 is not. So to keep in the news... they attach some old content to the new engine and send it out for beta testing.
Not only do they get to work some more bugs out of the Source engine, but now all the tech news sites are talking about it. They can't let Doom 3 have all the news, even if HL2 was supposed to be out last year.
a pretty good scrabble clone.
At any given time there can be more than 10,000 people playing. Although sometimes it will not allow you to use words that dictionary.com (the site it uses to check) will find.
It's kind of sad that people who bought an ATI card hoping to get HL2 and play it on (what they thought) was the best card available, now have a card that is outdated and still no HL2. ~ ATI has already released its next generation of cards (X800)
However I did buy a NVIDIA 6800 that came with Far Cry (an excellent game) for those who want to buy a video card that comes with a game and not a coupon.
If they stop paying for your broadband, then it's none of their business whether you have broadband available for work use or not.
You can tell them how happy you are living off the grid and checking your email at the library. If they need to get a hold of you after hours they can send a bike messenger. Besides you sold your home computer to buy food.
I read free magazines. There are several sites such as Free Biz Mag and others that offer up free magazines. Many of the free magazines are boring but I have recieved free subsciptions to Wired, Rolling Stone, Maxim, etc.
I also recycle my magazines by giving them to others and reading free magazines from other people or at the library.
A lot of people either traded in or sold their PS1 console to buy a shiny new PS2 console.
Not only did they get money back (or at least a discount) towards a new console, they already had a library of games to play while getting in on some early new console action.
This may not affect sales of the XboX2 in the long run. But a lot of gamers (including me) will wait for the 2nd or 3rd price drop to get a new XboX2. However, by then they may have invested too much in a PS3 and just skip MS.
I think a well done book of various screens shots from modern games would do well. I have collected some funny and interesting screen shots from Enemy Territory and UT2K4.
I think a book of screen shots like this from a broad spectrum of games would do well.
You know, Microsoft takes a lot of heat for crushing the competition.
Now the XBOX is taking heat for not crushing the competition.
In my view the XBOX is doing well. I know just as many people with a XBOX as a PS2. Nobody I know has a GameCube (well except me I have all 3 but I'm sick).
Right now if most people want a new game system they pick the XBOX, the PS2 is seen as being "old" and the Gamecube is not seen at all.
Either way I hope there is enough market for all 3 and that the games keep coming.
Dear European Union,
I am an open source software developer. Could you please send me samples of all EU notes, so that I can include image protection in my software. 10-20 copies of each should be enough to complete the work needed.
So many things survived from that time other than the Dinosaurs. Large trees, many forms of reptiles and mammals that are virtually the same (based on fossil records) to this day.
Not too mention that the fossil records for Dinosaurs don't stop on 1 day.
It seems that the Doomsday theory gets more headlines than other theories suggesting, disease and climate change (a much slower, more boring process) were the cause. Even though the damage of a meteor strike would have been far more devastating and left the planet set back near square one as far as life.
If the earth was baked and then the sun was blocked by smoke and ash, how come so much survived?
*Note IANAS (I Am Not A Scientist), just wondering.
I read Bram Stokers Dracula at work on my Dell Axim.
The Axim was only $175 brand new. It came with an EBook reader and some free EBooks. It also has a SD slot plus a CF slot so you can add over 1GB of storage. (That's a lot of books).
Here is a link to the Dell Axim X5 This is the more powerful version that will play video as well.

They should patent Control Alt Delete for every time IE crashes.

So it's already got AOL ISP & AOL Office.
Why not cut a few more bucks and run a custom Linux AOL OS.
This computer is too slow to run any high end games. So the only thing it would really be used for is Office and the Internet.
AOL could then supply updates and software through it's online service.

For me the best way to test these new drivers is to play Enemy Territory
One of the best online FPS games and it's free-as-in-beer.
Keep up the good work NVIDIA.

Have you ever leaned on the keyboard or left a book on it?
I would hate for the 0 key to get stuck.
Hmmmm.... Maybe I can start my own slang term for storage. (4.3GMail Hard Drive)

These specs are not fast enough to run Doom3, Half Life 2 or Far Cry at the necessary 2560X2048 running 860fps.
It may sound steep (and I don't exactly believe the article) but in a few years these specs will be for a sub $999 E-Machines
