OSx86 Project's CEpeep researched building a x86 machine that will run Mac OS X for Intel for under $200. The machine has the same Intel chipset on the motherboard and a processor with SSE3. Total includes CPU, MB, RAM, Case, HD, and DVD drive.
The extra work required to put data into a standard data format won't be done. People can't bother making their pages w3c complaint (even slashdot). The second problem is that data formats can rarely be agreed upon by a large community. Look at how many calendar event and news feed formats there are.
The interview mentions that they are easy to remove. The chips are for the VIPs and a perk. No abuse here. The company is just trying to differentiate themselves from other clubs with an interesting gimmick.
One alternate plan is to use cheap titanium dioxide to make less efficient solar cells that are significantly less expensive. Titanium dioxide is used to tint paint white and is available cheaply in bulk. While researchers are working on increasing the efficiency through nano particle techniques, do it yourselfers have made progress.
The Cell processor follows the same design idea, if not more radical. Sony has cross licensed it to IBM and Toshiba. Toshiba is already planning on using Cell in high end processing.
The big question is if bandwidth constraints will choke these massively parallel superscalar processors.
Yahoo used to use Google, but they bought Inktomi and have switched to their search engine. MSN also uses the Inktomi search engine, but tweak the results.
"Then, in late 2006 and 2007, the company will release Niagara, a multicore, multithreaded chip."
Sun will somehow finish a significantly more complex processor when they give up on this one? IBM, AMD, and Intel will be four times ahead of Sun in three years. By killing the UltraSparc V, Sun has to execute perfectly in an arena they've stumbled in the past.
That "robot" is a cgi stealth marketing ad for the mini cooper. See this previous slashdot discussion.

Intel has also shown virtual micropartitions, rebooting Windows XP while running a DVD without a hitch. The SMT being added to the Power5 is called Hyperthreading by Intel PR.
I hope IBM, Intel, AMD and others keep competing.
RIAA has restrictions that you can't distribute the music they produce. The GPL has restrictions that you can't distribute binaries without giving access to the source code. Downloading music withot paying for it is morally equivalent to using the GPL in closed source products.
If you don't agree with the license, don't use it.
Hurt the RIAA by stop using their music.

...and they can't show a readable countdown timer on the screen.
Netgear makes a device like this, the WGT634U, which is also a broadband router with hard drive support. The product literature only lists versions of windows as supported. But the USB Hard disks can be formatted with FAT, FAT32, NTFS (read only), and Linux file systems according to a support page. The drive can be accessed by ftp or smb.
Netgear has gpl source for a few of their models here: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/

I'm guessing that NASA found out Doom 3 has a software renderer and are buying the minimum specs.
The limit for Windows Server 2003, Datacenter edition for 64 bit Itaniums is actually 64 processors and 512 GB RAM. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/64bit/i pf/datacenter.mspx

What if gold filled plants cross-polinate?!?!? How could parents say a child can't have something if money trees really exist!

I forget, is it odd days or even days that software patents are worse than Microsoft on Slashdot?
Maybe Cindy Smart didn't pass the child play test. I found it discounted from the original $150 MSRP down to only $29.21 at hsn.com.
