If it were not noticed, then it would not be slashdotted. I am not notioced, therefor not slashdotted. To slashdot has many meanings, one of which is to notice.
In my experence, these low power chips never do well The National Semiconductor Geode, The Transmetia Crusoe, The Cyrix GXm and GX1. These low power chips had horrible performance per clock cycle, and in the end just made no sense for embedded devices, they generated as much heat as Intel and AMD chips 2x as fast. I doubt that AMD can pull off a low power processor that ISN'T made for laptops.
My IBM workstation takes Registered ECC ram. Crucial and Kingston both told me to buy non registered ram, which would fry my northbridge. It isn't funny, but it is bad advice.
In fact, why have laws? We all know that if everything was legal, people wouldn't riot or steal. The legal system is a remnant of a time when society was used to opression. *inhales deeply from patented herb*
No, you can't. I have the TI-83+ Silver, which is the same as the 84+ Silver except without USB. Tetris seems to have a problem with the "2.5x" faster processor, and crashes every 5 minutes, clearing your RAM. Most other games work well, with the exception of Nibbles.
Imagine them overloading cell towers by uploading jobs to each other at 19.2K
It would be almost as pointless as the PocketPC cluster (Slashdot) http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/03/10/08/1818203.shtml?tid=100&tid=137
How are they fitting 88 dual cpu computers in a rack? Last I checked, racks were between 42U and 46U. That is 42-46 1U computers. I have seen 1/2 U computers, but never dual cpu 1/2U computers. I can see 88 processors per rack, but not 172 processors per rack. Plus, when you have such a high density of computers, you need lots of power and cooling. Most racks have UPSes and cooling fans that take up rack space.
The I can stand for Independant and Inexpensive. I chose independant because 10 $12500 Kias gets up there. I didn't check the milage, but for 1200hp, the gas milage won't be that much worse than the 1001hp Bugatti.
You guys got it wrong. Although there are 1920x1080 pixels, the display chip is made to only display it in an interlaced format, which reduces quality. For a similar idea, look at a regular CRT TV, although there are 640x480 pixels, when you run a computer signal at that resolution, it is very blurry. Also, the image chip in the LCD TVs is designed to display only the HDTV signal. This means that it converts the signal from your computer several times (digital to analoug in the computer, analoug to digital in the LCD). The image chip in the TV is not meant to do VGA quality conversions, but those of regular TV resolution, for playing video games and watching SD tv on the set. If you want an LCD with a beefy enough image chip to diplay at full resolution progressive scan, than buy the $2000 Apple display that others are talking about.
I can see a better way to get that much power. Make a redundant array of independant cars, or RAIC. Take 10 Kias, and weld them together. You get 1200 hp, plus better mileage. Also, who needs run flat tires, if it breaks down, pry one of the Kias out and drive to get help.
Is that just at full throttle?
This car reminds me of some of the huge Dusenburgs in the 1920's. These cars were such gas hogs that you had to turn the car off while pumping in gas, becuase they used it faster than the low power pumps of the day could get it in the tank.
Also, I remember Bugatti calling this car a show car, but I don't remember them ever saying they were going to make it. It seems to me that it is not practical enough to drive. At 1.33 GPM, you would need to drive a gas truck behind it to get more than 5 miles! How big a gas tank can this car have? 15-20 Gallons? Think about it...

Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am George W Bush, the President of the United States, and arch nemisis of Saddam Husein. He was the most feared and hated leader in the middle east. We have now learned that he has resently been purchasing materials needed to build weapons of mass destruction. I feel that he needs to be removed from office.
In the 20+ years since he has been in power, he has made himself secure, but we feel that for $ 87,000,000,000 American Dollars, we can remove him quickly, with minimal impact on civilian life. We need you assistance in this measure. I am told that because of certain laws, we cannot withdraw that amout without the approval and consent of the tax payers. I am asking for you to take 30-60% of your income, and send it to me by April 15, 2004.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount of $500 per tax payer to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to pull out of Iraq before June 30. All the funds not used will be reimbursed.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 001 (0) 888-111-1234 only.
Yours Sincerely, President George W. Bush
President, Chief Executive

I am no electrician either, thank you for your warning. I was assuming that people would put resistors on their doorknobs. Where else would you hear this last sentence but Slashdot!
I have heard that too. On the topic of the post, it would kill you several time over. 20 Litres of water would kill you, you could go into a coma after 2 or 3. Also, caffine is a deadly poison, and is useful only in miniscule quantities. Even if you survived that much water, the magnitude increase of the caffine by 2 would kill you.
Faster than the iPod (Dual P3s vs. Arm7)
Higher res screen than iPod (1280x1024 vs 160x128)
More skip protection (512 MB vs 32 MB)
More storage (129.1 GB vs 40 gb)
It is a freaken workstation. So are the WinCE devices. The point of the ipod is that it is small and simple, that is why I have one.
I cant wait until i can Insert 50 cents into my computer and have a 16 gb raid 1 or 32 gb raid 0 hard disk. Imagine what kind of data center you could have with 2 roles of quarters!

It is already well documented. It is called a microwave oven.
How come no one posts "We have had this story before!" every time there is a story saying that Linux will rule the desktop market within 1 year?

Yes, but since the article says that this spec is several years old, I assumed that was before blades were available/practical.

Yes! First, get some spectacularly fuzzy socks. Then, wire every one of your door knobs into a giant capacitor, and have that trickle into a battery.
If they are getting so small, shouldn't we start calling them flakes or crumbs, not chips?
What is the latency, for playing Tribes 2?

Very convenient , for a software company like Microsoft.

No, this is my hypothetical post. So it is hypothetically visa. Maybe they would have their @$$es sued hypothetically off afterwards.
