Maybe they should be working on RAM speed and FSB speed to catch up the technology. Only recently have they begun to work on FSB speed, and rarely have they imporved RAM speed and utilization.
2K is fine, but when I notice newer OS's like XP and such that demand 2x's the RAM, it makes me think it's counter productive. What gives?
I think if they work to being the rest of the perhipials up to speed to match these nice CPU speeds, then we're really going to see Moore's law take effect.
First, someone ought to catch the IP of that board spamer.
Second. This sounds a lot like AMD's Athalon processors. The 1800 XP's that run only at 1.4 GHz. Just a bunch of hype stuff. Not dissing AMD, good processors, but I guess Intel's resorted to the 'If you can't beat 'em join 'em' philosophy.
Hope we can get an accurate name, or at least a fair benchmark on these new ones so we know the exact capabilities.

Dear Loyal DISH Network Customer,
I am very pleased to announce that we've successfully reached a long-term agreement with Viacom to provide you with CBS and MTV Networks including MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. I am happy to say that this agreement will allow us to continue to provide you the lowest all-digital price everyday.
I understand that it has been a difficult 36 hours to be without these popular channels. We appreciate your patience, your support for DISH Network and your continued business.
As promised, you will receive a credit on your next billing statement. In addition, we would like to thank you for all of your support by sending you a free DISH On Demand Pay-Per-View coupon that will allow you to view upcoming hits like "Cat in the Hat" and "School of Rock." The coupon will arrive in your April billing statement. Enjoy a movie on us.
Everyone at DISH Network will continue to fight to provide the best possible programming and services at the lowest possible price, every day.
Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for being a DISH Network customer.
so would you shell out over $3 more/month and most certainly more increases over these channels?
Maybe we should start a poll?/. can be very influential. Look @ the Verisign/Sitefinder incident.
Those messages that were scrolling at the bottom of MTV, CC, Nick and CBS were Viacom's damage control department. They knew they were going to be out of a major contract because DISH was standing up to thier monopoly. This means major $$. So they were trying to get as many people as possible to switch to the gremiln that caved into the rate hike, *the other guy*. Those messages weren't from DISH, they were from Viacom in hopes of trying to get people's $$.
Cause if they switch carriers, and they knew some would, then they get those consumer $$. Where's the anti-trust laws when you need them?
I think Viacom is using thier position on this to change the language to point the finger on the innocent party. Viacom stating that DISH decided to pull the plug... no this is wrong. It was Viacom's strong arm tatics when thier contract was up that pulled the plug. DISH tried to be a consumer advocate, because DISH wouldn't have mede one red cent off the increase, and they are suffereing the blunt because of it.
DISH has balls, but Viacom has the muscle in the leverage game here. It's a big loss to consumers and for those DISH people who are anticipating Season 8 of South Park, you have my deepest sypathies.
It wasn't Dish's decision. DISH stated that Viacom wanted 4x's the amount for it's channels. This is clearly using a monopolizing position to agressively get more $$. This is excactly what Micro$aft does to Dell, Compaq, HP, and all other computer manufactuers.
They use thier monopoly in a market to screw the provider in screwing the consumer. Demanding any amount they wish and if the OEM states that it's too much, then they cut off thier support - they can afford it they're so big - just so use strong arm tactics to screw the OEM for not bending ti thier mofia ways. In the end it's the consumer getting screwed. To I'd get some kind of federal injustction up there for being anti-consumer aka monopolizing.
Has a point. Considering that Viacom is trying to become a monopoly in television rights. Viacom, which owns Comcast, which is trying to buy out Disney which is tied in with ABC.
All this fuss over a measley 6 frickin cents! Quote from the article "They recently raised thier rates $3, but couldn't raise it another $0.06 for our fees." You would think Viacom is (insert sarcasm here) *struggleing* over 6 cents.
And in the end the consumers are the ones that get shafted! Shame on both DISH and Viacom.
good for you to stand up to some of the sue crazy people.
I know for a fact that today's society is all too quick to place the blame on someone to cannel thier grief. . . Take all the sick-o's you blamed people's 'sins' for 9/11 for example.
However there are those who think, and I know people like this, they can just sue sue sue and cash cash cash will flow in. Just have to act for a bit and who cares! It's sad but true. I think the doctors do have a right to know about habitual bad behaviors, and that should be considered in court cases as well. I just hope that the list is used with scrutiny and only the real habitual offenders get on it.
I guess backward compatibility is out of the question. I smell Micro$aft. i.e. XP SP2, bluetooth.
It's gotta come at a cost to give all that free hardware out and switch everyones contact list. Who's paying ATT to do this?
Darned cell phone companies get more Weaseley every day.
I'm sure there's a catch. I know they have been working on stealth radar, using cell phone singals, which concequently can point you out on a map.
And the new version of Windows helps reduce SPAM..

I'm sick of the lack of choice on newer PC's. All win XP. What ever happened to the lesser evils(like 2000)? The answer that you will always get when you ask a store to custom make your comp is, We only use windows XP, it's the best =P.

They all ready got the audio spam down with the do not call registry, why not make a 'Do not spam' registry and have the whole spaming industry regulated?

I don't know why compainies waste millions of dollars trying to copy-protect CD's. It's useless.
If you can play it, you can record it.
You can capture the audio from the source, not nessisarilty with an MP3 ripper, but with a 3rd paty stereo or dolby recorder. It's quite easy for anyone with half a brain.
Just capture the source as a WAV or orther format and you can burn it however you like.
