The internet will not topple tyranny when they the evil forces that are supposed to be toppled control it (China). A completely free internet would topple tyranny but they know that obviously and thus do everything they can to control it.
A quick glance on the system setups shows that they have used RAM with almost the same CAS-latencies in all the setups. The AMD CPUs benefit from low CAS to a greater extent than the P4. When an Intel fanboy site like Tomshardware wants the p4 to beat the Athlon they usually use very slow ram on the Athlon setup, which is of course overlooked by most consumers.
The Japanese overclockers are known to use alot of liquid nitrogen. They have concluded that after -100C there's no need to go any lower. It will not increase the overclocking.
15,000 is a very reasonable score for a decent system in the 2001 version where the world record is a few points over 30,000. It's very likely that the marketing guy just made a simple mistake.
3dMark2003 is a whole different ball game however, and a score of 15,000 is clearly impossible. The world record is just over 10,000 points (trivia: made by finnish overclocker 'Macci' with a p4 3.2 EE clocked to 4.5 ghz and a Radeon 9800XT clocked extremely high).
Extreme overclocking has gone a long way. Macci cools both his cpu and gpu with a cascade system which is two phase change coolers (like the Vapochill) connected together in some cool way I don't have the technical know-how to describe. It cools both his cpu and gpu to -100C.
Spammers will not go away until they stop making money. If we could make people stop clicking links in the spam, or buying their products, spam would go away tomorrow without the need for any kind of filter. I'm clueless how that's supposed to happen though. It's seems that your average computer user will click everything that comes into their mailbox.
In case the page is slashdotted I've put up the pictures on: http://fredrik.kalmar.lu.se. It's on a 10 mbit univeristy connection in Sweden. It should stay up for a while atleast.
Spam is a serious issue in Sweden too. Our biggest ISP, Telia, have been hit so hard the last couple of weeks that delivering a mail from Telia to Sunet (the univerisity net) is taking up to 10 minutes. That's a HUGE delay compared to the milliseconds it used to take.

There are no dual boards for normal P4s since they can't runt in SMP mode. You have to buy Xeons and they arn't exactely cheap.
Dual AMD Athlons (the MP model or a modded XP) are your only option for a cheap dual desktop.
Secure internet banking is based on having a small security box at home where you dial in the numbers and have them randomized in one way or another.
I really don't know why a similiar system can't be used for internet voting. Perhaps the cost of implementation is too big.
Even if the know-how may exist to build an almost fail safe system, the keyword is almost, and that almost will always exist. Everything digital can, and will be cracked eventually if enough people try and have the right knowledge.
However, what I think is the biggest problem with implementing any kind of digital voting system, in a digital world hit by new viri all the time, is that it would be impossible to gain the public's trust. I sure as hell wouldn't trust it.
They'll probably have many useful applications though, possibly concentrated all in one field.
I on the contrary think that nano will be something that will be beneficial to all fields of science. Nano will be something taken for granted in every field. Eventually it wont be considered a field of it's own.
I don't think there will be a problem air cooling this CPU. The only thing that will change is that the default heatsink will have to be upgraded and thus increasing the price by $40 or so. My CPU probably using 80W or so at full load and I can easily cool it with a SLK-900U and a 1000 rpm 92 mm fan. The fan is definitely inaudible. The heatsink weighs in at 1 lb of copper and $50, however.
I can see myself cooling this new CPU with the same heatsink and a 4-5000 rpm fan. That's alot of noise though...maybe water will be the default cooling in the future?

Centrino is not a processor. The processor is called Pentium-M

Look at your keyboard.. S E X. Think you can do it?
Haha forget about what I said about "simple mistake". I have now RTFA. That guy is a just a massive tool.

Situations like this is why you shouldn't feel guilty about downloading "illegal" music.

I don't follow. As someone said, x86 is just as fast or faster than the G5.

Good idea.. those 128kbit/s to mars isn't exactely top notch.
My thoughts goes out to the chinese people. Keep on fightning the censorship. One day you will be free, until then, stay strong.
A 14 db "silent" PSU is nothing new. There are fan-less PSUs available on the market now if silence is what you want.

The new bios probably increases the voltage to the memory and GPU and thus making it easier to overclock.

Newer motherboards have 4 holes around the socket where you can bolt heavier heatsinks (e.g the thermalright slk series).
