Gigabyte has a similar model: a heatpipe-cooled Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT with a easy-to-remember name of Gigabyte GV-NX66T128VP. Tom's Hardware has a review of the card. AGP version is also available with a similarly easy model name of GV-N66T128VP.
I have a PCI Express version of the card in my rig, and it is nice. Gets too hot to touch after running GPU-intensive applications, but those NV chips should be designed to run hot (and they have a thermal protection which throttles down the GPU if it gets overheated).
Nice to see other manufacturers to notice that people like to have their computers silent.
Criticality of vulnerabilities is quite clearly determined in the Secunia reports.
For Mozilla, there has been 0% of extremely critical vulnerabilities and 23% of highly critical in 2003-2005, whereas for IE 14% were extremely critical and 29% highly critical in the same time period.
Furthermore, a total of 31% (out of of 69 advisories, or 21 individual cases) of IE vulnerabilities may result in system access. In Mozilla, the corresponding numbers are 18% and 4 advisories.
There should be a native Skype client for the Linux, Symbian and Windows Mobile based smartphones before the end of 2005, since Skype co-founder and CEO Niklas Zennstrom made an announcement in the Voice On the Net (VON) conference held in April 2005 in Toronto.
Furthermore, Skype uses technology from the Global IP Sound, which announced availability of their VoiceEngine Mobile platform for the Symbian.
If 16 GB is enough, IBM has eServer 326 is just about expandable to that amount.
Strangely, 16 GB memory is only available in a dual-CPU configuration. DIMMs 5-8 can only be used if another CPU is installed.
But since the extra Opteron CPU costs about the same as a 2 GB memory module, that shouldn't be much of a concern. Price is in the vicinity of $15K with 2 x Opteron 248 and 16 GB RAM.
Last year I met a guy who had gotten himself a GPRS PC-card for checking his email while travelling in a another European country during his vacation.
Too clueless to turn off the automatic Windows updates, and paying by the amount of data transferred, the automatically downloaded SP2 update ended up costing him a tidy sum of 500 euros.
Being dependant on another nations goodwill on the accuracy of your navigation is most likely the primary reason for Galileo system . Granted, most of the EU is headed NATO way - but things may change, relationships can get cooler etc. EU wants to keep its options open.
This reminds me of the time when I was *really* enthusiatic about Seti@home. Having a shell account on a university mainframe, I devised a clever script which launched setiathome client every night at 8 PM, and terminated them at 8 AM.
Problem was that something went slightly wrong with the Solaris server resulting in a crash of the server. This was probably unrelated to my setiathome processes (?), but one of the memory dump files had my user ID on them. Nearly lost my privileges - luckily the university IT folks were kind enough to let me off with just a warning.
KDE has clearly achieved a aesthetically pleasing GUI (especially new icons look really nice), but anti-aliasing for the screen fonts doesn't seem to be switched on in the article screenshots.
Just for the kicks, let's see how the Pure Software Act would apply to Windows XP (although many of the listed program behaviors would be true for any other modern operating).
1. Hook: Runs at Boot
Check
2. Dial: Places a Phone Call
Activation procedure, Messenger, etc.
3. Modify: Alters Your Computer's Operating System
Duh. It *is* the OS.
4. Monitor: Keeps Track of What You're Doing
Windows Media player / IE's index.dat come to mind.
5. Displays Pop-Ups
At least before XP SP2 comes out.
6. Remote Control: Lets Other Programs Take Over Your Computer
Just how many exploits *are* there at the moment?
7. Self-Updates: This Program May Change Its Behavior
Windows Update, anybody?
8. Stuck: Cannot be Uninstalled
Unless you count formatting the hard drive as such.
Bandwidth Limit Exceeded The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
So they're using geostationary satellites - which means that minimum latency will be at least (2*36000 km) / 3000000 km/s = 240 ms plus whatever amount of the latency caused by the actual internet service provider.
I'd guess that you'd be lucky to see overall latency below 500 ms - and that with a high packet loss. Sure, it's probably ok if you're just browsing web-pages or sending huge chunks of spam, but good luck trying to use anything requiring a more quicker response time (like online gaming - Citrix just might work for all of you type A's).

Another goal is to generate new EU aerospace and tech business. Wildest estimates are around $10bn of revenue per year, growing to $300bn by 2020
But have they considered the possibility of someone cracking your password using telepathic ex-military dolphins?

16000 sacks of shredded paper and 600 million individual scraps of paper seems a bit more demanding task.
Probably most of the same algorithms would apply to both problems.

'Spectral Rigidity in Atomic Uranium'
The poor guy must've heard comments on that for years: "Hey Sud, how about the rigidity of Uranium".
Well, I hope that they sell the low-power version of the laptop in the Swedish market.
