From the article: The source added: "There's going to be a big announcement soon. They've tried lots of titles but the most popular is Birth Of The Empire."
Out of all the titles, this one seems to be the favorite. However, this doesn't mean that it has been ultimately selected yet. I'm sure there are other title ideas, ones we have not heard of and others that we have. Star Wars fans again must wait to get the actual name release from Lucas!
They aren't competing with Microsoft today. They are competing with Microsoft 2 years from now when Longhorn is, potentailly, supposed to be released. As the article states, Microsoft is looking towards more of a natural language (ie.. Where are my car pictures?) approach rather than simple search terms. It could be a pretty good battle between them, but I think Google might have a bit of an edge.
You're preaching to the Slashdot crowd here... girlfriend is a foreign term... Start talking about Playstations and computers instead.. You know, things we can understand!
Maybe someone can explain... But when the CNN article states that the universe is "accelerating", does that mean it's really accelerating? I thought it was decided that the universe's expansion was expanding at the speed of light. So, I would assume that by accelerating they mean growing bigger and not actually accelerating faster than the speed of light. Unless, this Dark Matter is something that can bend the known laws of physics and travel faster than the speed of light?
"Forwarding services and web-generated email sites need to deploy SRS. Pobox.com, for instance, has already integrated SRS into its bespoke MTA using Mail::SRS.
Hobbyists who provide.forward or/etc/aliases services will also have to get an SRS-enabled MTA.
Sites that do not do.forward or/etc/aliases forwarding to remote sites will not need to do a thing.
Once a majority of forwarding setups are SRS-compliant, SPF publishers can change their defaults from "neutral" or "softfail" to "fail". "
Seems like for fowarding to work.. one method has to become a standard.. And we need to do it right this time. The above text says that everyone would have to install their software to get forwarding to work.
OK... It seems that SPF would have a little easier setup, only requires setup on one side. While DomainKeys would have more of an upfront cost to get it working and setup costs on both sides. However, pobox.com has theirs software up an working while Yahoo only has a working document to offer proof of concept. I would like to see Yahoo's example up and running and see how it would compare once out in the wild.
Man.. You don't even have to read the article to know Andrea is MALE. It says it right in the news story with the pronoun 'his'. Is it getting to the point where you just blindly reply?
From the article to save everyone the 16 pages of boring charts and graphs..
Conclusions
"If I were building (or, implausibly perhaps, buying) my ultimate workstation right now, I'd want a pair of Opteron 250s beating at the heart of it. The benchmarks speak volumes. For single-processor systems, the Opteron 150 looks like the fastest x86 CPU on the planet. In a multiprocessor configuration, the Opteron 250 scales up very well, even without the benefit of an optimal memory configuration, a NUMA-aware OS, or 64-bit extensions.
By contrast, Intel's dual Xeons are a little bit disappointing. They perform relatively well in CPU-bound apps like 3D rendering programs, which are also largely well optimized for SSE2. But in memory-bound applications where dual Xeons ought to do well, like video encoding, the Xeons' slow bus and RAM hold them back. One has to wonder what Intel is hoping to accomplish by saddling its workstation-class processors with older, slower technology. Even a single Pentium 4 benefits greatly from additional bus and memory bandwidth. Surely a pair of Xeons on shared bus ought to have this same advantage. Intel's apparent willingness to forego such enhancements in favor of adding ever-larger on-chip caches to the Xeon is puzzling"
This is true for any visitors that come into the facility. Any person that has the clearance can have the cell phone and keep the battery, but must keep it off.
If you go shopping into any store most of these camera, PDA phone are so cheap it would make the average consumer almost have to get them.
Since the FCC mandated that cell phone companies have to provide number portability, everyone wins. You can switch cell phone companies, keep the same phone number, and reap all the benefits they offer to new members. For exmaple, at a local electronics shop here they are offering $150-$200 of cell phones if you are a new subscriber to their service. Bringing the final cost of the phone to a more affordable $100-$150 instead of the $300 original asking price.
I found this not too long ago... It's a simulated bird's eye view from MER-B or the Opportunity Rover looking at Mars. It's supposed to land at around 9 PM PST on January 24.
I sure hope this does better than some of the others so far.. Otherwise we might already know it's fate.
You would be able to add more content to a single disc. Perhaps rather than buying "The Sopranos" season 1 and having 10 discs to keep track of.. These new discs might be able to reduce that clutter down to maybe 2 discs, double sided.
Well current DVD players only display up to 480 resolution. That is without the TV trying to upconvert it. With the advent of these new players, it may be possible to get a FULL 1080 resolutionas seen with HDTV reception.

Sounds more like "Revenge of the Nerds" to me... Awaiting another disappointment from Lucas
Perhaps... here?
Clicky here.
My guess is that it will be ad free. Once they complete their internal trail they will release it for download for free to users.

Yeah.. but with games like "Alien Knockout" who needs those childish games that require multiple buttons being pressed simultaneously?
but just incase Yahoo gets slashdotted, there's always USA Today to hammer on next!
Why can't scientists just make up their minds already?
First it's not expanding, now it is... Oh well now it's slowing down again, and now expanding agian.
I also see no end in sight...

Good info.. However it mihgt be nice to post the actual address without the misspellings. boycott caller id for email site.

I would be pissed! To change the rules at the last minute to allow the teams that didn't do designing so well? Stupid!

In most military installations you can bring the phone inside... It just cannot be turned ON.
