Non portable numbers are the biggest issue with switching carriers. I wonder whether most of the handset manufacturers like the way things are. It must increase handset volume.
They say "640 specialized nodes that are in turn composed of 5,104" but it cant be 5104 processors each. So each processor is doing 8000mega flops. Why not build a machine with 1 million Celeron processors for 100+ Million instead ?
Price is not the only issue.
Can you get progressive scan digital out
of your box ? No. Out of tivo without hacking
(old versions can be hacked at least). No.
Want mpeg2 output files - have to buy
ReplayTV for 700. Your pvr specs http://electronics.cnet.com/electronics/0-6342371- 1317-7487590.html?tag=txt-specs

PC Prices to Rise?

>>>One of my Asus motherboards constantly freezes up running Win '9x. With Linux, 2000, or XP however, it's fine.>>>>
umm sounds like even you should know that that because 9x is like dos and Linux, 2000, XP are stable operating systems
Do you think the processor prices at pricewatch are believable ? Meaning, do you think that they are "marked up" (lower speed processors fraudulently remarked)
The canadian tariffs dont apply to standard hard drives of course because they would destroy the PC market. Standard drives are $1.5/gb. The tariffs of around $21/gb on other media dont apply.
On pricewatch.com you can find CD'rs for 13cents in bulk. So a Gig cost 20cts. A gig of DVD-RW is 85cents and a gig of DVD-R (at 2 bucks each) is 42cents. Im thinking of switching anyways, but dont feel like spending $300 for a writer just now.

These are used in the bewoulf community already.
Almost any other solution has much higher latency. Ive never seen anything less than 7us and I think that was myrinet (similar price). Ethernet has a MUCH higher latency.
No. I dont think you see it here but the content companies dont want Blu-Ray because they dont want even cheaper large storage. Look at the price of DVD-RAM on pricewatch.com. You can get a recorder for 200 and 4.7gig for $3.6 . This is only 5 times more expensive per meg that CD-R and LESS than TWICE the price of CD-RW in large quantities. This already is going to cause content companies problems. If they used blue-laser, for read-only movies they would support the price reductions and volume in blue-laser technology.
If they do this encryption will surely be useless. The link says the encryption has already been broken but you probably need unusual hardware. I see a possible future where some non-crippled open source tivo / moxy device is at least in the hands of the more technical minded. With full commercial removal, high compression options (Divx?) and rampant unblockable trading, its attractiveness to the less technical minded will be high. At the same time I hope not too many people do this because I want someone to pay for the next $100+ million starwars movie budget.
As has been said in the story lead, this will only effect clearly marked advertisments on the side.
As a potential small advertiser starting looking just a few days ago I can say this new system is helpful. First is paying for click through only. The second is they now will report expected clickthrough's with phrases (and complete complicated queries) and not just keywords. Helps targeting.

I went there. Less than $60 for ==DVD-R==. But the price for 25 DVD-RW (not+RW which I couldnd find quantity of) is $120
10 pack dvd RW for $28 on pricewatch only 4 times the price of CDR per gig and close to the price of CD-RW
