As I understand one of the limiting factors for high-speed cpu's today is that there is a lot of unwanted capacitance in the wiring, which puts an upper limit on how fast they can switch from 1 to 0 (and vice versa).
One way to make it switch faster is to increase the voltage so it takes less time to charge the capacitor, but this increases the power usage.
So I very much doubt that it would work well adding even more capacitance to the circuit
Yes, just as corporations that work with dangerous chemicals shouldn't have to provide protective gear for their employes. I mean, they don't have to work there right?
(just as waiters that don't have to work somewhere where they are subject to passive smoking, and the problems it's known to cause)
Yes, but since there would be very little need for making roads with curves it would probably be very easy to develop an AI to drive the car.
The additional dimension would allow for much more traffic withour creating jams. (the lanes at higher alltitude could serve as "highways", so you wouldn't have to drive the distance to the next onramp before you pick up speed.)
I guess that if you consider driving a hobby this is bad news, but if you just like fast transportation it's good. And I suppose it wouldn't be to hard to "build" areas outside the city centers were people could do some leasure driving.
I would guess that the reason for this rather than redesigning DNS to use Unicode is beacause of the still rather dominant presence of the USA on the internet.
Since this solution doesn't break any old implementation just the countries that need it will have to modify their software, and not wait for the slow and expensive process of changing all of DNS, which a large part of the 'net isn't motivated do pay for.
Beacuse the difference in development/distrubution models most other OS doesn't need to have so many of their critical servers exposed to the internet.
The only way real security can be obtained is by pulling the plug.
It's probably really fast since an ultrasonic motor should be alot faster than a supersonic motor, and to think we have been complaining about the Concorde..
NVidia develops a driver for Linux, that is better than 99% of the companies out there.
We can not demand that companies release their products open source, but we can support the companies that actually choose to take the time to develop drivers for Linux.
I do not own an ATI card, so I'm not sure how their Linux driver support is, but from their homepage I get their impression that they link to an OSS project instead of distributing their own driver.
This I think hurts the OSS community, that hardware companies get the impression: "We don't have to write drivers for Linux, they can do that themselves". When I spend my money I want a complete product, not something that requires me to run Windows or unsupported 3rd party linux drivers.
In Europe we don't only not pay for incoming minutes, but I also get a small (about $0.01) amount per minute.
So I just hope that they start calling me, alot...
I wonder if it helps against headaches, because atleast in Sweden Treo is a headache pill.
(or maybe the electromagnetic radiation causes headache so you will need a Treo)
How long do you play an ordinary console game? perhaps 2 months max, with a price about $60 you are paying $30/month per game after buying a console as it is now.
I guess IBM is pretty sure to win the case against SCO, so why don't they just say that they will offer protection from eventual claims and thus steal all of Dell's would be customers?
I was just thinking, are there more extremely dumb people in the world than there are extremely smart people?
If that would be the case then the majority of people would have above average intelligence.
In any case I doubt it's an minority that has above averge intelligence, I would guess it's atleast 50%.

I guess it's a good time to be antisocial, sack veryone that likes talking to their co-workers when they sitt next to each other.
The perfect worker is the one that stares into the computer screen, completely unaware of what goes on around him/her.

except it's only $27
Yes, I thought I remembered the 'net feeling particulary sluggish around 1 Oct.

Remember, hardware, bandwith and system administrators all cost money.

But on the other hand if they loose that would make a legal precedence that copyright doesn't cover functionallity which would be a good thing.
To have military victories is not an achievement, it's merely a proof of the failure that lead up to the armed conflict.
Might just be fun to go into a record store and ask why they put a disc that clearly isn't a CD (no label) in the CD-section.
I guess IBM is pretty sure to win the case against SCO, so why don't they just say that they will offer protection from eventual claims and thus steal all of Dell's would be customers?
Wouldn't a server be the place where stability matters the most?
So from your argument I would have thought that that would be a good place for a microkernel
