uhh, nvidia riva tnt competed with and sometimes beat non-SLI voodoo 2. It was riva 128 that competed with the original voodoo. Also, any proof would be welcome.

So the big news is, an alpha version of an operating system from an OS family known to eat lots of memory, actually eats lots of memory?

LMP?

On: Aircraft Maker Will Produce Electric Cars in 2006

umm, so how's an "LMP" lithium cell any different from the standard not-too-safe LiCoO2-cell? If i remember correctly, the reason why people still use lead-acid cells in their cars is because lithium-ion cells explode after thermal runaway (happens in 150 Celsius, usually after the cell is internally short-circuited).
The carmakers should use Saphion for cars, since the cells are made from LiFePO4. There was an Inquirer article about lithium cells, cant be arsed to search for it tho.

GPU's?

On: Microsoft Researching Anti-Spam Technique

The idea was originally formulated to use CPU memory cycles by team member Cynthia Dwork in 1992.
But they soon realised it was better to use memory latency - the time it takes for the computer's processor to get information from its memory chip - than CPU power.

Don't GPU's have a lot smaller memory latency?

hmm, whats this?
