require a new factory? I don't foresee it going into mass production unless existing factories can easily retool back and forth between these engines and standard engines.
does it have enough grunt for high bit rate 1080P h264 streams
According to this page, yes it can. However, I can't confirm it since I don't have any Blu-ray disks. (High-bitrate MP4s ripped from DVDs look perfectly fin on my 32" LCD, so I see no reason to buy BDs or a BD player.)
What I do know is that mplayer *never* breaks a sweat while playing "high RF" (maybe that's a term specific to Handbrake) MP4s.
All I've ever read is how buggy the ati/amd drivers are and how support lags severely for kernels and cards and 3D is really slow. OTOH, the nvidia driver always supports the current stable kernel and cards.
If I were making an xbmc box (which I wouldn't since the Linux-based Iomega 35045 is only $105) then I'd have an Atom CPU and a GeForce 210 and install the binary driver and vdpau libraries so that it will off-load video decoding.
There can never be perfect and complete social cohesion amongst 197M people, especially with Jim Crow. But there can be Good Enough cohesion. (Especially when work-within-the-system like MLK were leading the Civil Rights movement.)
You don't have to "be" proper to "act" properly in public. Acceptance of a *degree* of hypocrisy is crucial to the success of a society.
As for where they come from? The Utopian communist-sympathizing (the Soviets just aren't implementing it *correctly*) Far Left intelligentsia.
a fair amount of people that, it seems, are hostile towards green initiatives solely because "fuck you"
Could it be that they're tired rightly or wrongly of Big Government (from the Federal level thru State, County, City and Homeowners Association) telling them how to live?
Did all those lessons not get passed on from the WWII generation or what?
No, apparently they didn't. From the "Greatest" Generation directly to the "Me" Generation is stunning. I blame "The Greatest Generation", TV and 1960s Progressivism (the results of which are still being felt in society).
Progressivism because (1) flag burning and riots and meeting with the North Vietnamese in Cuba tends to transmit to everyone else, no matter what your pious words are, that you hate your country, thus breaking societal cohesion and (2) TV and movies -- of which all/majority of the writer were Progressive -- starting in the 1970s coarsening the culture with ever increasing amounts of foul language in movies and TV while eliminating cultural norms like good manners: children saying Please, Thank You, Sir & Ma'am, thus destroying the social lubricant and lastly (3) the belief that nationalism is a Bad Thing, and therefore nations are a Bad Thing; thus people claiming to be "citizens of the world" and welcoming large-scale illegal immigration.
So the 3rd wave BSD companies learned the lesson of the 1st wave BSD companies, that taking the BSD source and running off to make your own OS does nothing but fracture Unix and give Wintel the opening to dominate the world?
Elect consumers to the Board Of Directors of major corporations?
WTF?
Who would actually do the voting for a multi-national corporation?
Every citizen of every country where the company has an office? That obviously wouldn't work.
What would *really* happen is that governments would appoint some mix of politically connected toadies and agenda-driven left-wing activists who's only goal are to bleed the company dry.
Proportional systems are slightly less susceptible as the population has a chance to get someone who represents them into power and the corruption tends to take a while.
How less corrupt are India, Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and all the former Warsaw Pact countries than the US? They all have multi-party parliaments. I won't even mention pseudo-parliamentary countries like Russia, the PRC, Cuba, the DPRK and the all the "-stan" clusterfscks.
But then if his wife decides she doesn't like a computer in the kitchen, then he's left with generic parts and a Raspberry Pi (all imminently reusable for some other project) instead of an extra tablet.

Ok, I was wrong... :)

No, I didn't RTFA yet.
High fuel taxes on diesel, because 18-wheelers are business assets and gov't loves to tax business, since it's hidden from the consumer.
DTS master audio over HDMI
Dunno.

Both your and the GP's quotes can actually be true at the same time...
people under 30 don't use towers.
They do when their employer points at a cubicle and says, "Sit there. Use that PC."
Or Linux, where ATI performance suffers compared to Nvidia
I've been exclusively AMD+Nvidia since the K6-2 & Riva TNT2 days, but my next mobo will be Intel.

1945 != 1965.
Two small nukes != Global Thermonuclear War.
We came very, very close
Stopping at the edge of the cliff is only one cm from plunging over the cliff, yet is so, so not the same.
it's also human caused.
Mass asian genocide would solve that problem.

Gee, that's shocking. My uncle in the mid 1960s was worried about The Bomb, and kids in my era fretted over ecological disaster.
Neither happened.
all about the letter of the license, and not the spirit.
Regarding the GCC intermediate product being obfuscated, maybe they're doing it to reduce coupling.
Software you can't plug-in to and interoperate with? Isn't that the opposite of free software?
No, but it does seem to go against the spirit.

RMS refused to implement precompiled headers in GCC because he doesn't like BSD?
+1.
Where's my mod points when I *really* need them?
Actually though, it is a story. Bravo to the CT Post for not sensationalizing it. Wish they'd have said what the police did to him, though.
Even better: let's imagine how productive, happy and content we'd all be in workers' cooperatives.
Red Flag.

Or... "Fashion is always about replacing your wardrobe yearly because Marie Claire says that last year's fashions are horribly out of date."
OTOH, think how many people would lose their jobs without artificially-generated churn...
Remind me not to have any respect for women who buy clothing because women like the clothes.
(I'll criticize men's sheep-like qualities when you post a story about Bud Light.)
What's there that's not in other parts of the country?
The real trick will be getting a Raspberry Pi.
he could've saved money buying a cheap tablet.
