    How can you exactly copyright this virus if it occurs in nature ?

  4. Government inaction on LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this tie in with the gov's case against Billsoft ?

    The gov's case was half assed and therefore not a real cure to the monopoly. If they would have had a real plan then we would be getting source code from alot of these manufacturers . Believe it or not but these companies helped out the monopoly by only making software for one company and only one. The gov should have told these companies that they must opensource their drivers so other operating systems can use them.

    The hardware and even the software companies play a part in helping uncle bill's monopoly .

    So why shouldn't the gov play a part in breaking up this cozy relationship ?

  5. This chip will be used for the AI .... on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    and not graphics ? Xbox2 will have a dedicated graphics card which will do most of the heavy work . It kind of makes me wonder why they don't use a vector processor instead a general processor for non graphics and then have the vector and graphics card combine when doing difficult rendering. Could increase the polygon by alot. Just an idea.

  6. No one mentions that alot of IT jobs are going on Technology Spending On The Rise · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Away overseas. The republican administration doesn't seem to care either. Our trade balance is terrible also . IT industry is turning out to be like the TV and other manufacturing industries going overseas by countries that target the US . I see the handwriting on the wall.

    Warren Buffet has commented on the IT situation and has said that there should be a tax on companies that send jobs overseas.

    It always seems to come down to benefits of cheaper labor making goods less expensive which does help an economy out by making it more competitive . I get kind of confused by it all.

  11. Reoccuring theme - "Don't need computer that fast" on AMD Optimal BIOS settings + Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And alot of people that don't do heavy gaming or graphics processing are right. Think about this . A majority of us use 56k dial up to get on the net but what would happen if the dream of 'Fiber to the home' came true ? We would get 100 megabits of data a second ,enough for HDTV on demand and an alternative to the other monopoly that is cableTV(great evil) . That would be THE day that would signal most of our computers as extinct. Alot of our present computers couldn't even come close to handling that kind of data. That would be a HUGE reason to upgrade to 64 bit and faster computers and a reason to overclock. The computer makers should be organizing to roll out 'fiber to the home' along with municipal governments in the best interests for themselves so they can sell new generation MEDIA pc's and for the public.

    superconducting supercomputers ?

    This was supposed to be the real leading edge of computing about 10 years ago and it has vanished.

    There is something cooler about superconductors that these building sized clusters can't match.

  15. Bad article. No mention of materials they used. on Quantum Computing Breakthrough in Japan · · Score: 0

    only the phrase solid state is mentioned so i assume no use of mri machines and that they used quantum dots at superconducting temperatures.

    Sitting at a redlight with no other traffic around and your thinking to yourself why their has been no technological advance in traffic lights. Or how about hitting 4 red lights within 100 yards and seeing little if any traffic for the oncoming. Doesn't that just piss you off ?

    Now, I know they can't handle all the functions of the top of the line graphing calculator but they might if you have an emulator or other software.

    The graphing calculator is dying out and being replaced by SUPERIOR technology. HP is not embracing the future by not coming out with a hybrid
    pda/graphing calculator.
