This number comes from the number of people who have set foot in an apple retail store, because it is INCONCIEVABLE for them to have entered and not purchased a Mac.
Ahh, I love the reality distortion field.
Um, been done many times before. Not only do you have SLI, which combines two cards, but there are several "SLI on a single card" monsters with two geForce 6600s or 6800s on a single card. The first dual GPU card was way back in the day, I think it was an ATI Rage. Also, Creative makes high end workstation graphics, and they have a non-SLI dual GPU card. Are you talking dual core? Well, it will probably be done soon enough, the problem is that the software support for multiple GPUs is really crappy (SLI is really not that practical for everyday use). Now, at least with PCIe, the hardware restrictions imposed by AGP are gone. I would expect to see something within six months, probably from SiS. It might take a little while longer for nVidia and ATI to come out with a dual core card, although I'm sure it will perform better.
This still doesn't do anything for second hand smoke. No manufacturer yet filters the output smoke. Who cares about other people? They don't give the cigarette companies money!
I still don't know that I can say that Dreamcast failed. There are so many more spectacular failures out there. Dreamcast sold pretty well for awhile, not great, but not terribly. Sure, it didn't have the support of all the game makers, but there was definitely not a shortage of games. There were even some decent ones. The hardware sure wasn't as nice as PS2 or XBox, but it was decent, and miles ahead of Nintendo 64 and Playstation (not PS2 or PSX, it was just Playstation back then). Sure, it didn't live for that long, and Sega lost money on it (probably most important), but it definitely wasn't a flop like some things in the industry (Gameboy VR, anybody?)
True, but lower DPI, and slightly more expensive. I figure, if you are building a 10 foot tall 8000x4500 screen, you are a very budget consious person.
Moon cheese isn't actually that good. Once, I ate a brownie, then this little guy offered me some. It was really a lot like cheddar, but with less bite, and the color is more of a turn off than a turn on.
Most grad schools want dozens of letters of recomendation. Sure, you can probably get them from your boss, mailman, ect... But they carry more weight if they are from a professor who worked with you on a research project for 3 years that was just featured on slashdot.
So, at $250 for a 17" 1280x1024 display, you only need a 7x5 array, thats 35 screens, or $8750. Then you need a computer that can handle 35 screens (~$10000), and the electricity bill (400W for the computer, 35*40W for the screens = 1800W, so 1.8KWh for every hour they are on) thats a whole lotta money.
Not only do you see pores on the pitchers face, but the bacteria in those pores. Next week: SUHDTV (Super Ungodly High Definition TV), so you can see cell processes in the pitcher's eyebrow cells.
Why 16 bits? Why not 17? That seems kind of arbitrary. Also, how do you FIT all those bits into one sine wave, without making the wave 16 times higher frequency?
The "per watt" rating refers to power. The signal improves due to increased power because the signal is clearer, and therefore there is less interference and packet loss. As for the 7.4 bits per sine wave, I'm as stumped as you. Maybe they use harmonics or something.
Amen. I love my 333 MHz 21164. And by 333 MHz, I don't mean the crappy Intel 329 MHz clocks, but the quality DEC clocks that really run at 333.33333333334 MHz
I'd buy it. In the past, google's advertising solutions have been much less invasive than their competitors. If this box was a decent DVR, and recomended cool music to me while I was fast-forwarding through kidde cerial commercials and crappy movie adds, whats the problem with that? On the other hand, google could always TURN evil, in which case it would simply go into the trash. This is pretty moot though, since this doesn't sound at all like something google would do. They don't usually do hardware for the masses (the google search boxes are for enterprise, and more about software anyway).
I'm not replying to the top post, but the parent above mine. The actual question itself is quite interesting, but Ogg guys always think everyone else uses ogg too, which is frustrating and false.
Already bargins out there for a long time. I recently bought a PC for a customer who does some hobby gaming, for $499. EMachines sells machines with A64 3200+, 512MB, 160GB, a DVD Burner, and ATI Radeon X200. I know the X200 stinks, but it works for the gaming the customer does, and the machine has a PCIe 16x slot when they are ready to upgrade, plus this PC comes with an operating system (XP Home), a case, and a keyboard and mouse (no monitor though, although they sell monitors with it). As an IT worker, I think that nowadays building your own system only makes sense for high end PCs (I built my own $3000 rig, which has hardware similar to $4000-$4500 Alienware or Falcon systems). The profit margins are really low on low end machines, and the volume prices emachines gets on parts more than make up for the cost of labor, ect... This article doesnt really describe a full system, you still need the case, a mouse, keyboard, and a monitor. If this article had been intitled "Rebuild your old computer into a gaming rig for only $500", it would have been much more interesting.
Honestly, if people want iPod porn, use a video converter! Its pretty easy in Windows, probably easier on the Mac, and Linux guys I'm sure will claim their video converters are easiest of all. iPod plays H.264 and MPEG4, which is a lot more common.
No, it just wasn't a website. The guy who legally owned it just bought the name and didn't use it, then this dude stole it, made millions, which made the other dude angry. Now the legal owner has the site back and is making millions, and everything is all better.

If there is a need for SLI, real or percieved, then there is a need for dual core GPUs.

Carnegie Mellon University, thank you very much.

They should recheck this. Just because they have ponytails and don't like professional sports does not mean they are women.
