It did come out. Two of my friends actually found it on vhs a few years ago. The quality doesn't compare at all to the books, but its neat to have and watch, just because it tries to visualize the books. You can actually nab it from Barnes and Noble on dvd: http://video.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp ?ean=794051161727 and from Amazon.com on dvd for $26.99 and on vhs for $22.49.
I think you fail to see the purpose. A 1GHZ Book Style Case PC would have a higher MHZ rating, but that's not what they wanted. Seems to me they intended to create a highly expandable, tiny formfactor, parallel processing computer. Not to create an exceedingly fast machine. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to be a means to an end, more of a thing to do because they can.
How about this for an awesome PC case? http://www.frozencase.com/

I pull the ring and swing the side down. Everything is open and easy to access
I can do that with my Dell L800r. I just unplug the power, move the slider, and have access to the inside of my case. My other computer (one I put together myself) is just as easy and simple. I simply unplug the power and slide the side off now how difficult is that to work with? Heck, I don't even need to remove the power plug generally.
My god, grasping at straws now... The article is talking about the use of a well-developed video processor being used in HUD's, and you exaggerate the stupidity of the US military to include using commercial products for ALL of their equipment. Think about it, the military is saving money using Nvidia chips so it can spend that money on other, more mission-critical devices.
And technicians and programmers in asia and india are more familiar with the.net protocols?!? Not to say Microsoft makes extremely high-quality coding environments, but, don't they develop their code in America?
They say "can be active" not "is active." Perhaps certain people do use more of the brain's capacity than others and we just haven't found them yet(perhaps because they're to smart to want to become a laboratory subject).
You can support hundreds of thousands of mails a day with a 400 MHz box. Just give it enough disk if you have a 50 Mb quota per user.
I think it was said earlier that they were intending to run other programs on it as well...

Maybe he grossly underestimated, but its not too far off. The chip's definitely not gonna be able to run at speeds which would be comparably 110GHz. More likely, the chips would be top of the line, but won't create a tremendous leap in computer speeds due to the fact that many bottlenecks in performance comes from things other than processor (RAM speed, antiquated interfaces[serial and parallel anyone?], size of cache to the chip, even the OS's).
A. This 110Ghz circuit is apparently newsworthy (i.e., very fast)
And just because its on slashdot, its obviously amazing? Take a look at many older posts and see stuff which many people would never look at twice...
>> B. You can walk down to Fry's and buy a 2 Ghz
>> processor.
See Above.

At least the trolls are getting more creative...

Well, at least this one should be labeled redundant, not modded 3 points higher than the original post about the same such.

you and me both... the only thing i can guess they mean is that it'll need a geforce3-level card...
ooh...ooh... and I live on North Woods Trail
