PowerMacs already have PCI-X. You're thinking of PCI-E. Though I really think somebody out there must be a numbskull when we have PCI Extended and PCI Express.
Even with a restricted set of architectures you don't really need to compile. MacOS pretty successfully supported 68k and PPC at the same time with fat binaries. I think the difference is that most users neither knew nor cared what that meant, and Apple made it so that for the most part they didn't have to.
After looking for it, I'm pretty sure now that the quote is actually apocryphal. Still, everybody promises more than they can actually deliver, and I think that live raytracing is very unlikely to be a reality for the PS3.
When you're in a discovery-oriented field, a lot of things are going to sound like bullshit but will be totally legitimate.
This is true, but even more things are going to sound like bullshit because they are exactly that. Like Carl Sagan said, "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." Besides, many groundbreaking papers (special relativity comes to mind) are not peer reviewed anyway because there really is no one qualified to review them.
Apple didn't sue to censor the stories. They want the sources. Being allowed to be an accomplice to lawbreaking is allowed in some circumstances where there is a public interest. It is hardly a right.
If the man offered to pay using any form of legal currency, even pennies, and they refused - then he is no longer obligated to pay the amount agreed to under the service contract.
I've always thought that drug dealers should use stamps. I mean, a roll of first class non-presorted stamps is worth a few thousand dollars, but most people would probably guess it's worth a few hundred. That, and it has a fixed value.
Actually, it's more economical to mint coins than print bills because coins last that much longer. The U.S. Treasury wants dollar coins to catch on, but despite their best efforts they haven't.
Obviously this will be present in any future Star Trek MMORPG, as William Shatner will reprise his role not only as Captain Kirk, but as the Priceline spokesman.

Yes, except that I imagine /. nerds make up a large portion of people watching aforementioned unpopular channels.

To be fair, whitehouse.com is not so named to fool anyone. It was the name of a "family values" activist in Britain.

Looks like Mozart beat you to it. His method is more restricted, but the music you get actually sounds pretty musical.
Probably more effort than it takes to pirate regular Windows.
Microsoft is going to do everything it can to help the developers.
Developers. Developers. Developers.
DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!
Oh, you mean like how the PS2 can render Toy Story in realtime?

Anyone who wants to build another Tower of Babel because they read about it in the Bible clearly didn't finish reading it.
I find Mary Whitehouse's name decidedly inappropriate. It makes me shudder just to type it.
Funny, I had always thought slavery involved restricting freedom, not giving people choices.
Those crafty bastards in Hong Kong have beat you to it.
I imagine it is similar in texture to the mucous of the marsupial pouches for which Australia is so well known.
The U.S. Treasury disagrees.
Those pens just change color if there's starch in the bill. They're almost more for feeling safe than being safe.

Type in "what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" and you get a more factual response.
Asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt is Fhqwhgad's non-famous brother, I assume.
Kind of like how Douglas Engelbart got a patent for the mouse in 1970. Too bad nobody started selling them until 13 years later.
...that Sony can patent something not only which they have not implemented, but which they do not even yet know how to implement?
