NNN-bit does not necessarily defines size of addressable memory - it might as well be just size of the internal processor bus. For pretty much every modern problem that relis on heavy number crunching (like, e.g., anything based on FEM) you will benefit a lot from, say 128-bit (or 256-bit) native floating point operations even if address space still would be 64-bit. Another use would be large number vector registers (to support which you would need wide internal bus) - so I could easily imagine useful "1024bit" processor which allows you to perform single cycle operations on multiple 1024-bit registers each holding, e.g., 1x1024/2x512/4x256/8x128/16x64 -bit values in 64-bit address space.
Moore's Law has nothing to do with clock speed I think. If i remember correctly, it states that number of transistors on the chip will double every 18 months. Improved clock speeds are just side effect.
Easy - JNDI context implementation is incompatible on IBM JDK and Sun JDK. Which means you will never get a reference to remote EJB if client uses different class libraries. And this is basic J2EE stuff.
Accord LX is hardly "underpowered glorified go-cart" and should be sufficient for any commuting needs that dont include serious off-roading. And will not set you back $30K+.
Of course you can complain about bland looks, lack of "personality", etc but it still will get you from A to B in efficient manner.
However if you consider, for example, Elder Scrolls series (both current Morrowind and future Oblivion) - PC gives you pretty much free pass for whatever modding you want. Just look at what Morrowind's mods have done to the game when it comes to graphics (both textures and models), gameplay (AI and additional functions like meaningful combat combos, etc) and environment (sounds, towns brought to life with scripted NPCs, etc). Plus 5-6 good content mods. Something you will not achieve on console for a long time (if ever).
IBM has not switched internally to Linux. However they do support both Windows XP and Linux on laptops/workstations (true at least for IBM Business Consulting Services) so an employee can request Linux to be installed instead of XP.
Oracle went in slightly different direction - by providing more embedded functions. If you have Oracle 9+ docs, go read about analytic functions - they can save you in lots of situations - especially when dealing with self-joins.

Pretty much the only reason NULLs so widely used is due to performance implications. Any nullable field can be easily normalized by moving data to separate table with NULL value being represented by absence of the record in the new table. But you will pay significant performance price.
Seriously there are countless times when I missed traffic report on my 107.7 just because I was busy handling situation on the road. And you dont want to miss traffic report in Northern VA during rush hour:).
I would have glady paid for car audio module that would handle both MP3s on CD and provided time-shifting (even 10-30 minutes for live radio will do).
It's just that A9 attunes itself to the user preferences based on previous searches and extensive data collected on the user by Amazon and associates - you get what you wish:)
There are other types of neural networks than just standard back-propagating ones. Linear vector quantization is much better at solving classification problems (ART-based algorithm should be good too). Problem is that in many "on-the-surface" problems have better specialized solution than just a generic NN or GA brute-force approach. This situation led to drastic decrease in funding for NN research.
Just go HERE and satisfy your curiosity about plotline of episode 3.

If I remember correctly from DOOM9 forums this is done intentionally to avoid any troubles with MPEG-4 licensing. Whole XVID development is "purely for educational purposes".

Good review can be found here.

Dungeon Keeper didn't quite live up to the hype but it was good fun
Same can be said about Fable.

These days CLI can be easily mistaken for Common Language Infrastructure

You forgot best example.

Don't forget that for extra $25 you also get HDTV-out capability (480p, 720p, 1080i). Which was a selling point for me.

One can always use simulated annealing algorithms (or similar) to find global minimum. And then go with standard approach.
This (work safe) will satisfy your curiosity. Just stare long enough on the picture.

Isn't 802.11e spec already includes QoS? Or was it 802.11i - i dont remember which one does QoS and which does WPA2.

Very true. AVSForum is the best place for all home theater / HTPC questions.
