I think AnandTech summed it up nicely "So there you have it folks - the 1066MHz FSB does absolutely nothing for performance, [...], But with the move to the 1066MHz FSB we have a platform launch that, in the spirit of the 925X and 915 launches, does virtually nothing for performance."
However the real question is, how many decision-makers are reading these review/benchmarks, or do they just buy Intel because it's Intel, or that's what xx-business weekly says?
The new logo certainly has more corporate appeal, and its simplicity also allows different colors to be used, which means easier to place on different color background.
Coupled with a trademark, this might enough for people to push it to PHB.
But what happens when one can set rules and enforce them at the same time? That'll be too much power.
Usually in a company, IT department takes care of the adminstration of IT-related stuff, and HR takes care of the rules/policies.
If these two departments don't compliment each other, that's the problem to be fixed, instead of mixing two different roles together.
That's my personal experience anyway, I find it easier to tell the users to take to HR (or vice versa) than having to deal with (punish) or explain certain policies to users.
Besides the bulky (non-fitting) feel in these jackets as mentioned in the article, I would imagine it's going to be heavy carrying so many items with you.
Maybe there's a reason why traditional clothing has fewer pockets, so that you are not obliged to bring everything out.
And where's a TEC Dress for women? Or is the market for female already competitive enough with big handbags?
In normal cases, people will just consult a lawyer (the shop owner did call her supplier, later), or at least ask for supporting documents before they complied to requests from officials. For example, you tend to ask for a search warranty if someone wants to search your house.
However with all the terrorism and patriotism nowdays, peasants can't afford to not cooperate, "just in case" you got blamed for being terrorist or unpatriotic.
Next thing we know, IRS burst into a kindergarten arresting several 5-year-old's for not calculating and paying proper tax while playing Monopoly, just to protect the integrity of the economy and nation's financial systems. "If they can't do tax at age of 5, will you trust them to pay tax 20 years later?!"
1. String together a collection of dotcom business plans, 2. Put them on a website 3. Attract as many users as possible 4. Don't make users pay to see these business plans (free registration is required), but attract advertisers who want their logos displayed alongside the glorious business plans. 5. Profit!!
Considered the worst film maker of all time, Ed Wood
I guess as soon as we start watching the movie, we will know if it's a genuine Ed Wood masterpiece:)
But like Picasso's (note I'm not really comparing Plabo to Ed) paintings, sometimes it takes a different era to appreciate them, especially when the person's dead.
The article mentioned Though the mobile content open a new revenue source, both Google and Yahoo! offer the service for free, but they admitted that they might commercialize the service once it get popular.
I guess it's like pr0n, first they offer you "free tours", next thing you know they're charging for everything and you're still paying for it because you're already addicted.
Will this also be an indication that other services like GMail, might be commercialized (other that the Ads) once everybody owns a gmail account, keeps 500MB of emails there and have no option (to download/archive) but to pay for the service?
"Twenty percent of all searching was sex-related back in 1997; now it's about 5 percent,"
Maybe people are now accessing sex-related sites via links in spams, why seek when it comes to you?
and randomly selected thousands of search sessions from more than 1 million they culled anonymously from search engines such as AltaVista.
Is AltaVista still a credible source for research?
All in all, I believe the change in searching pattern may more likely be caused by returned results. At the moment there are too many noises when searching for real sex-related sites, most of them are full of pop-up and nothing useful, but a e-commerce search may return more desirable results, thus people keep on searching them.
I think near-shore or off-shore makes no difference as they're still outsourcing, ie taking away jobs which could have been given to locals.
Bush said druing a debate that he will let Mexicans to come to US to work legally, and gradually obtain residency. If this happens, the Canadian-Indian issue is small in comparison.
Maybe the ideal "screening" is based on the percentage of employees' residency status, so if over 50% of a Canadian company is from developing countries, it's no deal.
The current explanation for these "hobbits" is they somehow got to this 31-square-mile island, and because of the habitat/food source limition, they grew smaller so that they cooled off more easily, and used less energy.
However, if they were smart enough to find a way to this island, couldn't they just do another island-hoping to a bigger island like Sumantra, or even Australia?
The article also mentioned "many anthropologists have argued that in recent years, scientists have been adding too many new species to the human evolutionary tree. They say scientists have become too quick to call what may simply be an unusual individual a member of a whole new species."
Maybe these tiny people have some kind of sickness (or just look tiny), and were therefore exiled from the main(is)land?
A wealth of information is available, but the data is surrounded by noise. For every knowledgeable enthusiast, there are many more misinformed or incorrect speculators whose opinions usually spring from personal preference or a need to hear themselves talk.
Instead of reading other websites or books, he should have done a AskSlashdot:)
In my opinion (a WRX), it's best to leave any mods/upgrades to the experts. If you have the money to spend on mods, you should have the money to pay for the experts' time. Cars, in most cases, are the second most expensive asset a person's going to get (after a supercomputer), so I would rather put it in good hand, and just enjoy the outcome, not the journey of car mods.
If I read the article (or discussion rather) correctly, this guy is conning a 419-guy from "LAGOS" into paying $200 cash + $4500 cheque for "large boxes of misc garbage with a broken laptop that has "ANUS" inscribed on the screen".
I hope the cheque bounced, if this guy did cash in the cheque, wouldn't he be in more trouble? ie receiving the money but providing bogus goods?
If the cheque didn't go through, this guy still can't touch that $200 cash, because there might be some 'misunderstanding' (well that's what the 419-guy will say in court). So this $200 must be held until the cheque is made and cashed (or cash be returned if the transaction cannot be completed).
Verizon has clearly stated that the "actual throughput speed will vary based on factors such as the condition of your wiring inside your location; computer configuration; network or Internet congestion; and the server speeds of Web sites you access, among other factors. Speed and uninterrupted use of the service are not guaranteed."
So how long will the 15/2Mbps last, and is Verizon at least giving guarantee on a minimum sustainable speed?
From NASA's faq - "Cassini stores the gathered information on two Solid State Recorders (SSR) with a combined capacity of 4 gigabits, about the volume of a compact disk (500MB)."
It seems scientists are pretty confident that they can unload much data during Cassini's 9 hours downlink session.
Imagine if there were some downtimes when earth communication cannot be established for a couple of days...
Wait until one mistake that turns these cute little kittens into Hyper-Allergenic.
On a more serious note though, I think everybody has her/his ideal world in mind, and this GE is offering the opportunity to achieve that.
However, like the old saying "One person's meat is another person's poison", I believe there is a reason for such allergy symptoms (maybe telling your body to get away from that bleeming cat?), and without this warning, I wonder if the still-allergic-to-cat person will suffer from far worse sickness because one of the cat allergens wasn't identified and removed?
XM Radio has every reason to push MyFi, in its press release, it mentioned "MyFi is a revolutionary product that dramatically expands XM Radio's appeal and potential subscriber base". The easier it is to listen to their contents, the more subscribers they will get.
$349.99 is a bit pricey, but with enough advertisements/sponsors etc, they might even be able give it away for free??
I wonder if any other company is going come out with a competiting product (like TiVo vs MythTV)? Might be another lawsuit in the making. And how about time-shifting local radio station? There are times when you want to skip some ads, or probably pre-record some live converstion before you head into a no-reception area.
I did RTA, even another click to Tech Specs, but where is the specs for the photo quality, ie megapixel? or are the photos as big as iPod's screen resolution of 220 x 176?

the coral link is fine, but each image is about 1MB, so if you're on a slow connection, you thought that coral is slashdotted too.
Maybe Apple can place a couple of these iPod "kiosks" in shopping malls, what's the better way to experience iPod mini with a giant iPod?
On a more serious note though, a real scary Halloween custume is Death framed inside a blue-tinted Window.
With so many images on one page, this guy obviously didn't read the Do-Not-Slashdot ACT 1996, here's a coral link just in case.
Imaging you go to the Rome and see the whole Colosseum like it was in the movie Gladiator, or the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.
This could also be a way for our future generation to see our world.

Like what? They used cats during sex or something?
Truly a slashdot nerd question. Pussy comes before, you know, pussy. So they must have used (maybe sacrified) women when worshipping cats.
Other genetic methods may produce allergen-fee cats, but these procedures rely on nuclear transfer (cloning)
Wow, so these cats blackmail their owners, if no fee is paid, they'll release the allergen!
Wait until one mistake that turns these cute little kittens into Hyper-Allergenic.
