Unfortunately they're fighting it on a technicality - that Congress did not give the FCC explicit power to create the broadcast flag, and thusly they have no authority themselves to create it.

Its quite easy to see how biased the HotHardware review is towards Intel. You wonder how much intel paid them for that review, or let them break NDA early or something. Its a shame/. is giving them traffic for that bullshit "review".
I'm guessing they've got a very long way to go before it'll be in a 24" widescreen display. The impressive thing is the contrast level... something like this could make e-books a practical option.
Can't you just add your own cheap storage, this thing is way overpriced!
You could build your own multi-TB disk system for $5,000 and use DVDecryptor and daemon tools and do the same thing. Trust me, I've been figuring out how much it would be to do it myself.
The thing with this hardware is that its more or less proprietary. No way to just add regular IDE drives into the RAID array. To comply with DVD-CSS it would need to be encrypted or protected somehow all the way to the playback device.
Well I've seen articles detailing that the mac mini's radeon 9200 can handle 12x10 res, but not 16x12 (and therefore not 1920x1080 aka 1080i). Yes, you can turn it up that high, but OSX has problems at that res. So I'd *guess* that the 1280x720p would work fine, but not 1920x1080.
Yea, except for that under the Bush budget proposal, he is also asking congress to repeal the Southern Nevada Land Management Act of 1998, which forces the Bureau of Land Management to give 90% of the proceeds of the land sales in Southern Nevada back to the community. Plus, given that land in Southern Nevada goes for $600,000 per acre, its a LOT of money to take away from the most rapidly growing metro area.
Last I checked, Yucca is NOT safe. There were 600 unanswered questions regarding how safe it really is. And the energy department doesnt want to answer them, they just want to build. That speaks volumes about how safe it really is/isn't.
And Yucca Mountain will have its budget cut in half under Bush's new budget proposal.
234M transistors @ 90nm is actually about as big as most graphics processors are. They tend to be 150M-200M @ 110nm or 130nm. I dont see it being terribly difficult to fab really,
I dont think the experience fo 15 years ago is the same as today. Granted the fun factor of "older games" (my fav. old game is prolly Dune I) is a little higher than today (run down hall, kill enemies, open door, repeat). Graphically there is no comparison. Thats where the cycles have gone, to make things look prettier.
and guess what, it dies. It didnt help the second season sucked (I came back for the 1/2 half of the third season when it got better). This season wasnt too bad, but it'd probably still be getting another 1M viewers if it were still on Wednesday.
Just like Fox, UPN seems to engage in timeslot-induced cancellation. Good job, idiots!
Actually its not good for gamers. Its good for office/multitasking environments. Gamers typically have one thread, and they need to run it as fast as they can. They want the single 4 or 5GHz processor. The advanced office user running many applications at once (or someone like me, running VS 2003, AutoCAD, SQL*Plus and Firefox) would benefit from multiple cores and a slightly lower processing speed.
1 HD channel = 20Mbit/s (maximum at 1080i, dont know if it would support 1080p/30) 3 SD TV channels = 3Mbit/s each, 9Mbit/s total Internet variable, probably at least 1-2Mbit/s
Total BW: 30Mbit/s.
Like OSX is really just Aqua on top of BSD?

It'd be nice to have the security of linux and the user-friendlyness and software library of windows in one package.
But the words "snowballs chance in hell" come to mind.
On the first generation of the dual core chips, they designed one processor core (a prescott with some interconnects between chips), and they mirror one of the cores backwards so that the interconnects line up. Thus VI is IV backwards. It also happens to be 64, thats just some synergy.
Look at the dates on those articles. They were written long before Intel hit the power/heat wall. The Pentium 5 (aka Tejas) was shitcanned in favor of a Pentium M derivative.

Damnit, where are my mod points. Thats the first thing I thought when I saw "The Dalles". Playing Oregon Trail in elementary school.. so fun...
I personally love their cinnamon raisin bread. Its beyond explanation.

I'm kinda surprised no mention of MPL in that list... I figured that'd be one of them.

Basically all the movies you'd ever want. As quick as you can get them from your company of choice.
You put two powerful enemies up against each other and hope they destroy each other. Right?
Does it specify technology? 802.11 or 802.16? I'd guess for the area they want to cover, .16 (WiMax) would be better.

It could be worse.
