you're talking about John Negroponte, Nick Negroponte's brother. they room together every now and then.
personally, I think that (Nick) Negroponte has a snowball's chance in hell of building the laptop whose specs are being publicized for less than $100. he may get lucky and charge other people more money for the same laptop to subsidize a sale price of $100 to developing nations. but I also doubt that; Negroponte has a very spotty record when it comes to delivering useful goods, as explained in the article.
I don't see why it should be fair. Nobody said "split in equal parts"
"U2 and Interscope will split a standard royalty for each song downloaded (about $0.60 per download), plus an upfront licensing fee."
Good to know SOMEBODY is getting something approaching a (more) fair cut of online royalties...
the numbers in the first page of the tweakers.net article are very strange. why would transfer rates decrease when the queue depth goes from 1 to 8? doesn't make any sense:
- with more outstanding commands, drives become more efficient. aggregate transfer rates should go up for sure.
- if you have two drives and a queue depth of one, you're only using one drive for a fraction of the time, thus making it equivalent to the one-drive setup. how often this happens depends on the size of the access relative to the stripe unit size of the 2-drive array---not reported in the article.

Yes, but do their knobs go all the way up to 11?
you're wrong. the whole point of the lawsuit is to have the u.s. government disclose that "secret law", what they currently refuse to do.

I don't understand what these people did.
