For some applications (like CUDA), it's better to be able to 'burst' at a higher speed (like that provided by PCI Express 3.0) rather than a sustained transfer at high speeds (though obviously both would be the best).
I submitted the article because frankly I was a bit disappointed when I read it. I've been holding off on getting a new graphics card for CUDA development because I was hoping that PCI Express 3.0 would be out towards the end of the year. Now I have to debate whether to get one now, or wait for the GT300 at the end of the year.
actually, it's not just one button pressed to switch the programs...I know for the APR chip, you use a sequence of commands on the cruise control stalk to switch the programs, so that normal cruise control functions continue to work properly.
If you want to see an example, here's a video from APR's site:
I found their price list page through the google cache...seems like their stuff is out of his price range, but here's the link anyhow: SoftDSP Price List
In a similar sort of situation, I ripped all my DVD's to a HD, then converted them into ISO files; I then mounted these with Daemon Tools. The result is that the OS doesn't know the difference from there being an actual DVD in your drive.
Of course, this assumes you're using Windows...but maybe a similar approach could be used on other operating systems.
The VAG-COM tool only connects your computer to the car's OBDII port...you then need appropriate software to tune the car. I have an A4 (as opposed to an S4) and I haven't seen anything so far that will do more than adjust simple parameters (now if I could upload fuel maps, etc. that would be a different story...)

I can't speak for everyone, or every car here, but...
while many domestic cars are naturally aspirated, their imported cousins are often turbocharged. A chip can give a small performance improvement in a NA car/truck, but the real kicker is for the turbo'd cars...often times gains of 40-70hp or more are possible. Those posters who are giving knee-jerk reactions and saying that the car will not pass inspections and such, you're wrong. I belong to several car forums, and I've heard many stories of people getting _better_ gas mileage after chipping their cars. I'm not sure about regulations outside the US, but many chip manufacturers guarantee their chips will pass inspection.
I hope this provides an alternative viewpoint to the slashbots...
I suppose you could look at it like that, in terms of percentages...but I think a better way to describe the growth might be in terms of acceleration...example:
Spammer A averages 500,000 emails/day, and increases his averages 1000 emails/day/day.
Spammer B averages 200,000 emails/day but increases his average by 5000 emails/day/day.
Obviously spammer A is 'worse' (sends out more total emails), but spammer B could be said to be growing faster.
It has to do with the way fronts and pressure systems move...if there's a red sky at night, it means a high pressure front has moved in (means clear weather); a red sky at morning means just the opposite, an area of low pressure has moved in.
So I guess the first question that comes to my mind is, will a products such as ZoneAlarm stop this?
I wouldn't think so. ZoneAlarm blocks all ports except those you are using. If Icarus scans your machine and finds an open/active port 1214 (Kazaa) then it disconnects you. The only way you might be able to do something would be to use a non-standard port, because if Icarus only scans to see which ports are open rather than actually checking what kind of traffic is running through each port then it might not catch you.
Calculating with values of 3.3mm for thickness of floppy disk, TB=1024^4 and Floppy Disk capacity = 1.44MB, then we get a simple total of 7.8x(Distance from Earth to Moon) for a stack of floppies.
Regardless of whether or not their claim regarding the Linux source code is true, what kind of a business are they planning to run in the future? At this point, their 'other' revenues are dropping, so I wonder if they just plan to sit around and threaten people so they can collect royalties.
If they're earning revenue in any other meaningful way, it'd like to hear it.
According to this article, about 4 grams of creatine is found per kilogram of meat. So to get the same level of creatine you'd get from taking a supplement, you'd need to eat about 1-2 kilos of meat or fish a day.

Isn't this the same company who sued a Princeton student after he figured out that pressing the shift key defeated their copyright 'protection'?
Besides, it's probably F9 or something this time.
Yes, channel 6 is 83.25 Mhz, channel 7 is 175.25 MHz...channels 2-6 are 'VHF-LO' and 7-13 is 'VHF-HI'
UHF starts at channel 14 @ 471.25 MHz...

Maybe it's time to update the 'G4' logo to a PPC970 picture, like this one (bandwidth warning).
