Wow - this could be a real win for scientific computing. Traditional GPU-based computation is hindered by the poor I/O (I guess PCI-e is fixing this but I don't know). And PS3-based cell computation is hindered by lack of RAM _and_ poor I/O. But this thing looks like it's hooked up to some nice RAM and a PCI-e bus and could really crunch some FFTs.
So, what's your point. That Apple and Gnome need to do much a better job of naming?:->.
BTW, I think the K prefix serves a useful purpose. E.g. if I wanted to remove KDE, I could just remove all the K* packages:->.
PS: I haven't actually ever needed to remove KDE, I do all my work in KDE or ion.
SiO2 is only used because it is easy to make by oxidizing silicon and it does not react with silicon. For a long time, it was "good enough". Low-k materials would be better, and that is why you hear about them more.
Electrically at least high-k gate diectric is supposed to be better. I think this is largely because it allows better gate control of the channel without having to make the gate diectric so thin that electrons "tunnel" through it - i.e make quantum leaps across the gate barrier:). E.g. here http://www.intel.com/technology/silicon/si11031.ht m#2b
Are there other advantages to low-k dielctrics? I am curious, I am an electrical engineer, but I know no material science.

I'm sure search can be applied to calendar entries.
While I agree, I find it remarkable that the parent says "search" but goes on to talk about how advertising can be applied to calendars.
But even -search- in the traditional sense, can be applied to calendars. If a lot of people on the web were publishing calendars, you could search for the next upcoming Eagles show in ur town. Bad example, but the idea is that instead of subscribing to individual calendar feeds, you could have long lived google calendar alerts, like the google news alerts. And google may not have to limit themselves to searching calendar feeds per se. Maybe some algorithm can figure out when some thing on the web refers to a calendar entry, even though it is not expressed in a standard format.
Quoting the Reg -
As yet the new machines' processors are not known, beyond the generic G4 classification. Previous models used the Freescale MPC7447A, clocked at up to 1.5GHz. It would be nice to think the new machines may use that chip's successor, the MPC7448, Freescale's first 90nm G4. However, Apple's specs point to 512KB of L2 cache, as per the 7447A, not the 7448's 1MB.

Most modern GPUs will also connect to PCI-e.
Just curious, how did you map alt-n in screen?

Actually, AMD and interl are the ones trying to catch up to gillette :)

What SCO needs kernel source to write an editor? Maybe because it is "System VI" :)
