Intel has a better shrink timeline for each of those steps compared to AMD. Intel will ship the next step from 65 (45? I forget) in 2H 2007. AMD is looking at 5 more years of lagged shrink.
The racecar is imba! I want to know what MB is doing about it! I've paid good money for this game and I am a customer and I need a blue response!!!
No but just kidding guys I loev you and I think your game is great but please just give me an answer because I want to know if I should reroll tophat for more boardwalk raids... ^_^
The summary says there will be a bit less than 20, in the context of the number of playstation 3's sold. What it really means is that there will be about 20 games available. Thanks for not making that clear at all.
I'm tired of this crap. I have a feeling that editors just feel that they have to add something to submissions, so they add in "what do yall think???" at the end.
I assume you meant "... what you'd expect when supply/demand are tight."
The thing is, oil inventories (the oil stored) is very very high right now. I think that $60 is fine for current price and it should decline over time assuming no change in the international situation. Of course that is a huge assumption, and there is an incentive for oil producing countries to continue to create uncertainty because it gets them more money. Also, there could be some suprises. Saudi Arabia's oil doesn't look as good as it used to. A sudden irrational euphoria could be just as disruptive to oil prices if, for example, everything magically works out in Iraq and North Korea and so on, we could end up with an unsustainable economic boom.
But currently, energy stocks are so high across the board that if we don't get a major supply disruption or big demand increase, the prices are going to have to head south. At least that's what I think. I'm not an expert on crude oil or refined products. (but I do know natural gas very ver well and have quite a bit of secondhand knowledge of those markets.)
I have a friend who worked on the first game. They asked all sorts of musicians and many of them turned them down or just asked for way too much money.
If I recall correctly, Metallica thought that the game had no "artistic integrity" and blah blah blah. It is likely that they had no idea what they were rejecting. They probably said the same thing the second time around.
It is actually even worse than that. It uses the data from BP and the ASPO:
This assessment uses as data sources the Statistical Review of World Energy, published yearly by BP, and the monthly newsletter published by ASPO, where assessments for future oil production are available for more than 40 individual countries.
Now, why would a site that seems to be focused on a scarce energy outlook use these two sources? Probably because BP and the ASPO both have huge energy holdings. Their reports will show that energy is going to be more valuable in the future. The only way for it to be more valuable is if it is scarcer.
The real question is, why didn't they use data from the IEA or EIA? (I know, very similar letters)
The EIA suggests cheaper energy prices long term and a probable energy glut short term because we've had unreasonably high oil prices (high prices means that you drill for more oil... but our consumption has been basically flat = too much oil!) and the IEA is more moderate.
Not saying that this slam dunk bullshit but you have to question the source.
I know everyone loves the "running out of oil" story, but if that were true then why is oil barely above $60 when we have 2 huge suppliers threatening to cut back production, and North Korean bomb tests? If we were really running out of oil and some people threatened to cut us off plus some negative diplomatic news, we would be over 100 easily.
Stop being so even handed! This is a slashdot discussion, not a friendly discourse!
Instead say, "think of the children! The environment is so much more important than a few bucks. But the things slaughter birds by the thousands, and so we're going to have to figure something else out!"
Seems like a lot of that is just rehashing the same old same old. What's wrong with the programming surgical team described in the mythical man month? Collective ownership seems to be deliberately creating more communication overhead for programmers. In other words, what does XP bring to the table that is useful instead of just different?
How on earth can you mention this device without saying Rejewski's name? He is the one that originally cracked the enigma code, and did all of the hard cryptanalysis long before those guys in the UK got anywhere. He barely gets a footnote in history, while the machines that were built get all of the credit. Ultimately they were just collections of vaccuum tubes - it was Rejewski that gave them a purpose. Turing was brilliant of course and should be revered, but not alone.

I hope you can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can.
Unless those apples cost less to keep up / maintain / their software is cheaper / they use less power.
By far the largest cost in IT is man hours. If you drop those by a little, you can save more than an apple will cost you.
You ignorant lout! Everyone knows fish can't drown!
Excuse me, but, what the hell are fnarr fnarrs?
Regardless of whether it reduces traffic accidents or not, there is still the problem of - if there is an accident, then WHO PAYS???
So you need rules for who is at fault at all times, so why don't you just make those visible on the roads? Oh wait now you have road signs again.
Arcanum was awesome. You could play as an imbecile or an evil character and the game would be very very different.

You forgot: 10% astroturf! The marketing department gets to take a vacation to slashdot!
I suspect you just stole that from pornography business plans. Deduct hookers from your income tax!

I think the easiest way to make another intelligence is to have a kid.
After that, the next most easy is to genetically engineer some animal to have more intelligence.
Finally, after all of that, is to make it from scratch with wires and silicon and so on.

No, it is blushing!

Your site has an ad for buying gold on all of the pages, "in times of uncertainty."
How can you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning when you peddle crap like that?
And if I had a penny for each "running out of x" fad, I'd have enough money to buy a front yard :-(

It is in my sig to make fun of story submission whiners. Starting to feel like a good time to change it though.
