First of all, HP already offers a workstation that has dual pci express ports that can either work together for one monitor, or work seperately for up to 4 monitors (HP xw9300).
Second, you don't need any unholy cooling methods as it is multiple chips, running at normal speeds. You would need special cooling for one chip running at 4x the speed!:)
According to Thomas Schneller, a developer on the HP side who is working on this ubuntu project - last time they offered a linux laptop (nx5000), they sold 300 worldwide. I'm amazed they're doing this at all, to be honest. But I don't see enough interest for a manufacturer to go all out on a linux solution for the home user.
10 weeks?! Who is your bank, paypal? Because if so, paypal is not a bank, and will not act like one - especially when it comes to your rights pertaining to fraudelent transactions.
I believe for real banks there is a federally imposed time limit for adressing fraudelent use of your account, and it certainly isn't 10 weeks.
I had my credit card attached to my paypal account, and someone broke into my paypal account and emptied it (thereby cleaning out my credit card and bank account). I called paypal who wanted me to fill out tons of forms, get them notorized, snail mail them in, and wait 90 days for a judgement. And this AFTER they admitted it was due to their lowsy security.
So I called my bank and said "paypal ripped me off." The bank had my money back in my account the same day, and they went after paypal to get paid back.
If you're bank is really going to make you wait 10 weeks, you need a new bank. You can always deal with Visa or Mastercard or whoever directly and they're pretty good about getting your money back.
Is it still on the same less-than-perfect form factor? Seriously, I have casette tapes and 8-track tapes, and VHS tapes that still work, but my DVD's skip every dang time. How about we work on something durable...?
This is a different one that is floating around the internet. look at the bookmarks. The fact that they were both running tiger is coincidental. We took this today at about 4:30pm mountain time.
Why wont/. cover this? I sent in two stories with links and everything!
First off, everyone is still okay to download movies and whatnot. The act targets people who "distribute" media. As long as you're not distributing, you're okay. Just do everyone a favor and download from people who live in countries with sane copyright laws.
Second, I can imagine them having a tough time convicting anyone of this. After all, what defines the media? The hundreds of thousands of tiny pictures and sound trak on a film reel, after all, are entirely different than the ones and zeros you are downloading on your computer. It's like saying you can't sell the statue of liberty - well can you sell pictures you took of it? Nobody is redistributing a studios work - nobody is redistributing the reels or even copies of the reels.

you should have a manufacturers warranty that extends beyond the 90 day return policy of the outlet. I have a USB drive that fried 8 or 10 months after I bought it and the manufacturer replaced it no problem - even got my data off the old one and sent it to me on a CD.
I am going to market a new product: POPCORN KERNEL SEALANT! Basically you just save up your unpopped kernels, and then wash them in this sealant to reapir their "leaky shells." Then just repop as normal! Act now, and receive a free food dehydrator!

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Funny, M$ usually gets the wording right on these sorts of things.
GOOGLE WAS HACKED! This time I won't even get modded down for saying it like I did last week during the google outage!

nobody has ever done this before.

I must have the time travel plugin also, since I've had the ipod plugin for months now...
My hobby is free software ... I will say no more.
Well if it's anything like the broken (thebroken.org) then we can look forward to sparatic releases, and an early cancelation. w00t!

This was covered on slashdot in like, 1970 when it first happened...
submitted two stories ... both rejected within 10 minutes, and the story not published until hours later.
Why won't /. cover this? What's going on here?!?!
