What we are talking about here is 500-600 mhz for the 10 watts model and ~20 watts models are around 1 ghz. They readily admit that they are not the fastest in the market... but they are quiet and the 10 watts model has no fan at all.
They are also using the C3 processor. there is also a faq on the site as well.

sorry, never post before being awake(corrected text):
My wife and I saw this movie two days ago at 11 am, and I was floored by it for the rest of that day, the following day, today, and probably will be for a good while. This movie really shouldn't be seen just as a "we hate bush movie" although many will interpret it as that. Rather it's more along the lines of here is _all_ the corruption ( on the oil side of the equation... no mention of drug money) that goes on in our lovely government, even under other admins ( yes iirc clinton's admin wasn't made to look very good either...though to be fair, wasn't demonized like the bushes (and shouldn't be for that matter) ). I must add that while everything is the movie has been checked, I found it interesting that he really didn't try to make the democrats look all that much better then the republicans.. the feel I got was that republicans and saudi(es) are evil and the democrats are clueless-- and not there when you need them... in the best case senario. This move is not for the light hearted, but everyone should see it (as it will be the source of much controversy). I can see why this movie was a winner of the canies award. Regardless of if one thinks that Michael Moore is a crackpot or not, the actual footage speeks for its self ( and in some cases quiet amusingly (if that's a word) so).

Can someone list any meaningfull danagers of GM food, preferably with something that resembles proof. I'm not trolling for either side here I'm simply curious.
Yes I can infact list the dangers of genetically modified food. and they are as follows:
Genetically modified foods have not been around long enough yet to have any long term effects on humans scientifically confirmed... would you randomly go to a chemlab and mix a bunch of vials together and drink it? Whereas we know the long term effects on un modified foods.
Genetic engineering is not sustainable--especially with technology like the terminator technology--which if ever got let out into the wild, or even on to other's farms via bird poop or wind would wipe out entire species of plants( terminator technology is the technology that grows a fruit or vegetable without producing fertile seeds).
then there is intelectual headaches involved. even if genetically modified foods do turn out to be ok; Why should we let a few small corporations be able to patent life?
further more, why should poor farmers be sued for having "illegal seeds" thanks to the wind. It is virtually impossible to grow,certified organic, canola rape seeds ( yes I know they were not "natural" to begin with) but there is also issues with some variants of I believe corn,tomatoes, and wheat in canada and in parts of ca.
Also, organic food simply taste better. Try it. go buy some gmo fruit and then some natural organic of the same, and do a blind taste test with your friends.
the list is far greater then this, but these are a few issues that encumber the world of gmos.
The true Turing test would be, not mearly whether a human can communicate with an AI, but whether a human could fall in love with one.
I can see the politicans now "we must stop this abomination before it becomes reality"..I can also see how there could be a "marriage is between humans(or if the right wins between male and female)" debate.

You know, I used to try and convince people that this was really a problem. I am a scientist and I know that the science is pretty solid when it comes to global warming. Sure, there are uncertainties as in any science - but the basics of radiative forcing and the effects of CO2 are pretty well understood.
the problem seems to be that there is too much spin on the entire topic, and people have an attention span shorter then "." that. Anyway, With all the spin it is hard for the public (with no attention span) to find any real science as to what is going on... the argument I always make is , ok so even if the earth is un affected, then it is an important issue for our own sake.. earth will take care of its self, but it has no obligation to take care of us!
I have to bring the privacy issue up. While there are some obvious good things about having this black box in one's car, one must ask though what exactally is this car monitoring, and what are the laws/regulations on gleeming information out. Also, what is the integrity of this box. If it is eaisly tweakable or corruptable--then can it really be trusted. If something like the patriot act( Yes I know this was not in America) can be applied to this kind of device, then perhaps more people should consider using a bike. Also, will it become law for these devices to exist, or would said driver be allowed to remove the device.
I think the greatest "fix all" patch would be to distribute a book with every PC sold titled "The Internet: How to not be an idiot".
I think I smell something.. hmm.. yeah its called a class action suit of users who would claim emotional trauma and argue that they are being assumed stupid. It isn't a bad idea, but you'd have to watch the way things are worded... Also, who reads anymore these days. Now, make it a porn magazine with captions of what to do and not, and then there might be some interest.

You have many valid points, However, it is one thing to bitch about boo hoo we are locking out culture and herritage up::cry cry::.. it is another thing to start or help develop a project that will solve this need. Yes this is a very bad thing that is occuring, but I don't see anyone starting an Open Source _video streaming_ projects. Please correctly be if I am wrong. Until this occurs, then there is not going to be a whole lot of sympathy.
Not just bad, expensive. We've spent billions of dollars on an unnecessary war, and now we're going to spend billions more on unnecessary weapons to act as a deterrent?
we spend more on weapons then the rest of the world combined. Is it any surprise that this administration would do this. This is the same administration that wants to build a moon base and I would suspect put a big laser on the moon... Does this remind you of any movie within the past 7 years?
how will it search for abstract things, like
a love, hate, etc.. we have words for those things, but how do you draw them?
Also.. it begs to be asked.. how will it handle
regular expressions?
Lint is a waste of time, which makes Stallman's Lint a really really big waste of time. I mean, the guy is still endorsing Dennis Kucinich!
I am all for the rms jokes, but whats wrong with endorsing Dennis Kucinich? Some people happen to want bush out of office just as bad as the next people, but don't want to replace a republican with a democratic version of the same. and nader is even less of a viable option. Atleast kucinich still has a chance as influencing the party's stance on the issues... even if he has little chance at beating kerry.
That is a good point
however that still does not detract from the bigger picture. I could have talked about any crop that has been effected I choose canola cause it came to mind first (and there are several articles being written specifically about how tanted canola is preventing canola growers from being able to get a "organic certification")
