Don't forget that she asked to free online dissidents... asking such a goverment to stop it's actions (especially of this kind) online where it may be viewable from outside of China is a no-no. But still it's hard for us outsiders to see this as something to put someone in prison for.
I know i already posted here to clarify a previous point but this is a totally different point.
Why does Blu-ray prevent you from playing other new movies? No matter what the new standard is for the new dvds you still need the old laser to read older dvds as does current dvd players for cds. I know that blu-ray can be more expensive then this standard because production of dvds here can be done with older equipment according to the manufacturers but no mention of the new laser being able to read the dvd format.
Now that all things dvds (players, rom drives, and even burners) are affordable priced we have to go through the process all over again. Looks like i'll have to wait another few years for an affordable dvd burner that does this new format.
What an informative post... especially considering that "IBM" creates your new and extremely precious G5 processors (which were on IBM linux systems based one the PPC970--which is the G5--before it came out on apple systems).
Also it wasn't apple that created THE apple cluster (the 1100 G5 machine cluster by Virginia tech--or was it another Uni?). If your talking about the X-Serve... you would be laughed out when talking to server admins because clusters and 1u machines existed LONG before apple created the x-serve.
Why are we still calling these systems... IBM systems? IBM has more of a hand building the new macs (PPC 970-G5) then they do this PC (unless we have our IBM crapdrives--now wait thats hitachi now.
..at the least they can realize that he is far from perfect. I think the public's views of him are far more accurate now then right after 9/11 when many people treated him like a great American hero for making a few speeches and promising revenge.
Are our electronic voting systems so f'd up? Is it really that hard to implement a decent system without retarted bugs like in the last article (110,000 votes recorded versus the real 5k number).
Also why don't most normal American's a have a problem with Bush yet?
So in the end the old gameboy churns out graphics faster then the ti83... Now a gameboy that probably processes graphics 20x faster costs the same amount as the ti83.
I remember buying a TI83 ages ago for the same thing it costs today. The thing has a processor that's probably weaker then the first gameboy that came out two decades or so ago.
Graphing anything less then a super simple equation still takes too damn freaking long.
Ultra-ultra slim laptops are never good for desktop replacements. For one thing hard drives that small are never as fast and you just can't cool modern (even mobile) procs at speeds near the desktops that well.
Can you run some benches on both and report your fpu and integer performance? You can say they feel about the same but benchmarks i've seen report otherwise. Not that I don't automatically find you unbelievable. I'd just like some proof... I'm sure others in slashdot would find it interesting.
It's important to note that a celeron performs about the same speed as 400 mhz less pentium because of the cache in most instances.
The only way via seems competitive is with their somewhat misleading (and probably biased benchmarks) based on poweroutput-processor usage. Unfortunately in reality their 1 ghz processor performs around the speed of a 750 mhz celeron. Via covers that up somewhat for multimedia by having a lot of onboard decoding software for mpeg standards.
Hi... A bit off topic but 4 mb costing pennies is a bit too expensive don't you think? Most places give you more bandwidth then that. You should be able to get 3 gigs for a dollar at the least.
Don't forget the history channel, at least we get it here in Columbus Ohio with basic. CNN happens to be near the border (were not supposed to get it) but sometimes we do.
Over at some dedicated server providers I see that linux servers with the same hardware as windows server cost more then the windows version. I just sat there wondering how the hell can windows software be cheaper then free software.
Note that these servers are unmanaged so the provider has no personnel costs related to that at all.
The main reason is because these you a lot less power and give off a lot less heat. A lot of mini-itx systems are used in places like living rooms for pvr's and lots of other reasons and because this gives off less heat you can even have passive coolers with no fans.
P4's on the other hand require a pretty powerful hsf setup, especially your beloved 3.0 ghz versions. Which i believe gives off an excess of 90 watts at peak and around 70 watts normally.
The via processors have performed worse then celerons of the same mhz level based on most of the benchmarks i've seen. These processors fit on the old p3 line of motherboards (on the newer socket type insert and not the cartridges). The benchmark tested the p3, the celerons of that time, and the epia. On most performance tests the epia at the same mhz level performed at around half or a lot less speed of the p3 and also signinficantly less then the celeron.

But your old stuff will not be in high definition video. You have to rebuy to get the new super high def video.
Unless you have a desknote with a desktop hard drive lappies also have much slower and smaller hd's.

I just reread the news item... so yeah now your comment makes more sense. I'll post something intelligent after getting a few hours of sleep.

It's great to see a new site not requiring us to use the latest and bloatedest software (what are we up to now? Flash 7?).

" Yes, most of the time those 2 issues are no longer a big deal on the PS2 but it took a lot of developer cleverness to do it."
The worst thing about the ps2's three cpu's is that they are a bitch to program for and everything requires cleverness.
Here, in ohio we have columbus state community college which has over 22,000 students.

Thats why we've got a 900 mhz centrino there. Ev

I know people who use some p2p programs to exchange video files legal and illegal that do around 10 gigs a day X 30... wowwy :)
But then again i do pay $99 for 700 gigs of multihomed bandwidth (more then 5 providers)for my server so it can't be that expensive to the isp.
