This is why you need many forms of evaluations to properly test something. Just running one program to show you pretty pictures is not going to give any meaningful result. You need to stress test the card in other ways.
And, since one of the main reasons people will buy this is to play flashy and pretty games, ignoring the performance in those games is rediculous.
Do you really think that ethics can be taught in a lecture?
Of course not, but it does help to show people that in reality, their mistakes can mean alot more than a few points deducted from a project.
Where I go to school, Comp Sci ethics classes/lectures are not required. This is not to say that they do not exist, but these things are compulsory in Engineering schools.
I've always wondered why the Engineers had to sit through the ethics lectures, and the Comp Sci people didn't. In this day and age, we are relying on automated systems and programs enough so that the people making them should be aware of the consequences of failure.
From the article - "Now start that word processor, try that Web browser: I bet you'll see that they start sooner and run faster, with fewer crashes. If only a carwash had as much effect on car performance."
How do people manage to fill their computers with so much junk that their web browser crashes? It really boggles the mind.
Last I heard, documents used in a court case came into the public domain, unless there was a settlement or something. The article doesn't really have enough infornmation on why this is being done.

What about those of us that don't want their stupid music?
The RIAA will only be happy when we are charged for being alive, because obviously, 100% of the people who pirate music are alive.

That has to be the dumbest interpretation of The Matrix I have ever read.
