Uh, yeah, I can keep all my email on the pitiful 50mb server space most companies provide their employees. IT people, heads up - offer a damn solution instead of bitching at people for keeping email THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THEIR JOB on their hard drive.
Oh, stealing from the artists! Of course, I forgot the RIAA IS holding a gun to their head making them sign the contracts that gives the RIAA the right to "steal" from them. Again, no one is making the artist agree to the terms of the contract. Mod me down if you want, but it is the artist's choice.
Yes, you are absolutely right! They are kidnapping people, taking them to Best Buy and holding a gun to their head forcing them to sign the receipt to buy those CDs!
No one is STEALING anything, nothing is forcing you to buy CDs.
This thing takes three AAA batteries, are these readily available in India? In the US they cost a couple of bucks for a pack, so going by what someone else stated as the average Indian making $16 a month, they are supposed to spend 12.5% of their income on batteries?
I wonder if Apple tried to keep this secret and this is the reason they kept so many of their APIs and underlying OSX undocumented?
I think Apple is none too happy with Unsanity right now and might purposefully break their haxies with their next update, guess we'll wait and see.:)
I'm assuming that he is only using the camera for fun, not during an actual race? In RC car races the weight is kept the minimum possible, I don't think adding the 5.8 ounces for this camera is going to help him get on the podium.
Yeah, too bad the numbers don't add up. They announced the loss for the quarter, but are up over $60 million for the year. Last year, they were down $40 million, an upswing of $100 million. Plus how does their financial situation now matter to an expo in 2004? It is the future quarters that will matter.
I like how something that has happened for 4 years is suddenly a tradition. Macworld was traditionally in Boston for the first 12 years of the event. Sounds to me like they are just going home.
Sorry my friend, not to argue with you or anything, I guess our ideas of "official" are different. A PDF describing a company's processor roadmaps with part numbers and trademarks included, made by the company, hosted on that company's website seems pretty official to me.
It seems to me the document draws a direct correlation between the 'G5' and the Motorola 85xx chip, which Moto is not, AFAIK, designing for the desktop (Appple) market. Hence my idea that the G5 is Moto nomenclature, not Apple's.
Really, so if G5 is Apple's branding and free for them to use, then why does this PDF from Motorola on Motorola's site describing Motorola's processor roadmap have the G5 name?
robotboy, projected performance of the 970 based is that it will be basically a 2 for 1 against a P4. So a 1.8Ghz 970 will be roughly equivalent to a 3.6Ghz Pentium4. But then again, we've all heard that before, except this time we can kind of look at the Power4 to get judge of what this processor will do.
The 970 is a derivative of the Power 4 chip (with what I assume to be the Altivec extensions)
Altivec is just the Motorola marketing name for a set of SIMD extensions, Apple markets it under the name "Velocity Engine". IBM's chip will supposedly contain similar extensions to take advantage of the same thing, Apple could simply just swap them and still retain the Velocity Engine moniker.
BTW, from what I read, OSX's underpinnings were designed with 64bit in mind, doesn't sound like it would be too big of a development job to convert over.
How could a processor be in servers when it is not even made yet? If you read the press release you would see it is IBM announcing details of a chip that is unfabbed. Maybe you are thinking of the Power4, kind of this chip's big brother.
This is an IBM chip. The fabled G5 is the next generation chip from Motorola, Apple's current supplier of G3 and G4 chips. It seems Motorola is aiming the G5 squarely at the embedded market, either because Apple already decided to go with IBM or Motorola did not feel the development effort was worth designing for Apple's needs.
Good point, I'm not sure why Wired does that either. I know a couple of years ago, they did not publish the magazine articles on the web until it had been on the newstands for a few weeks, not sure if that is still the case.
Hmm, $12 a year, same price as a subscription to Wired. Now I wonder, which will you get more info from that will actually help you in your job? (hint: the journal)

Except for the IPod with it's 10+ hours of battery life. Listen to it all day at work and then on the ride home.

The URL in the parent has an extra space in it. Here it is linked for your pleasure: linkage
In the article it said he had to flip the camera, shorten some of the wires and actually slim down the battery compartment.
I'm assuming that he is only using the camera for fun, not during an actual race? In RC car races the weight is kept the minimum possible, I don't think adding the 5.8 ounces for this camera is going to help him get on the podium.
Looks to me like the submitter linked to the site, not Slashdot.
Yeah, those two centimeters a year. Oh no, by now those maps are 10 meters off! Now they're worthless!
Don't all aircraft look black at night?

Don't you mean the 1Ghz 64 bit Intergraph 2?

So which is best for playing my favorite FPS? A trackball of course! http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/productovervie w.cfm/89
Exactly why are they assholes? Sounds to me like the people that signed an agreement and then violated it are assholes.
