no no no... I know who you're talking about (and I've been trying to acquire one of his notes). The treasury dept. pretty much said that's what this guy should have done, because his "artwork" was so stellar. -nB
They also noted that the bill was worth far more than $100 simply as a piece of art. IIRC the guy actually drew 2 full bills and was in the process of drawing a third when he was caught?
As someone who works at a company that has been "pirated" in a similar manner, this is most decidedly Not Cool. I hope these guys become some of those famed Chineese organ donors.
You only proved my point. The application layer is the DRM, the chipset does not require it. The post I was replying to implied that the hardware was evil because it supported DRM. My point was that the hardware could care less whether it needs to run DRM, it's the app that decides that. -nB
FUDdite Viiv is not crippled. True it supports DRM, but it does not force it. The application layer decides on the DRM. There is no reason you could not optimize linux and MythTV to run on this platform. -nB
Why not the virtex FPGA setup: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/21/drc_fpga_m odule/ I'm sure quad (or even possibly oct.) precision floats could be implemented in that bad boy. As I said in an earlier thread, this has my intel fanboi status at risk... -nB
"Where possible, I think it's best to feed back into the grid..."
So do I, which is whi I led off with this statement: "Since plain ol solar will never meet our energy needs, just use the grid as a storage device. "
The point of charging the "gravity battery" was that should we really have an absurd ammount of solar power available, that we can feed the entire country's needs durring daylight hours, then storing the excess would not need to be that efficent, we'd be so far ahead of the game just by turning off the power plants durring the day. -nB
Since plain ol solar will never meet our energy needs, just use the grid as a storage device. Durring the day the grid is fed by solar energy with the shortfall made up of anything else available, at night the total demand for energy is lower so those same reserve sources can feed the grid. If there ever is a time that our entire grid can be solar (I doubt highly that this will ever happen) then you can charge a kinetic sourcew against a gravity well* or charge a massive flywheel with the excess power. -nB
* for example pump water up a mountain to a storage lake and let it run down durring the night for power -nB
but then you have both an extra drives worth of power draw and it's external, which is prone to more damage. If anything put the drive in the option bay in place of the DVD. -nB
Yup. I keep my logins to all websites on an encrypted volume on my notebook. the login for that volume is 12 chars and uses some chars not even on the keyboard. -nB
Right, so what none of you realise is that due to the court ruling that it's ok to play on the internet rather than work, you can thus start your secondlife existance and couple it with the boring mundane existance that is work. The balence of life is preserved and you still have your "real life" available when you get out of the office:-)

So fooey on you. Perl can use 'then'
#define then else
So fooey on you. C(++) can use 'then' too

Turning on an entire grid like that would be problematic at best, but it would be damn cool.

"Those DSPs you mention aren't CPUs, and they're not available on PCI cards"
/ InnovativeIntegration/CONEJO_64_bit_PCI_DSP_Card/1 1265/0?fromSpotlight=1l lel_digital_signal_processing_PCI_board.asp
Since when (on both counts)?
DSP == Digital Signal _Processor_ which is the Central Processor Unit on several platforms I know of.

For the record I'm waiting for the signatec to be available as a PCIe x16 card. As it is I have to sneak time on it for transcoding...
