Perhaps Google could pick up Sprint (whose market cap is hovering just over 10B right now), and in one fell swoop own a decent 3G network to launch their telecom domination plans. That way they wouldn't have to build from the ground up (in the U.S. at least)
This has been a problem I've run into a lot as a Linux novice, and newly converted user to Ubuntu 7.04.
I really wish that someone would make dual/multi display configuration much more intuitive. In Windows even the n00best of n00bs can easily configure a dual monitor setup. In the various Linux flavors I've tried it is not that simple. Seems like the system display configuration utility and the video drivers I install for nVidia/ATI cards just want to fight each other over who gets to control that second monitor, instead of just working like it does in Windows.
Like I said, total novice here so I don't know if its an issue with the distro's themselves, or the third party drivers by nVidia/ATI, all I know is it is annoying, and one of the major caveats preventing me from totally embracing the penguin.
I wonder how much this thing will cost to deploy, and if it will be able to pay for itself in energy savings after a while.
I'm no expert on solar power at all, but some basic math seems to show that a 1.6 Megawatt system with 8 hours of sunlight per day would save somewhere around $900 USD per day in energy costs (Assuming 7 cents per KWh... I'm really not sure what the rates are out in Cali.)
Seems like it would likely take quite a while to pay itself off at that rate...
I went into photoshop and made an image at that resoultion 10560x10560 and saved it as a JPG (Maximum Quality) and a bitmap...
JPG = 23.8MB
BMP = 326.7MB

First thought that came to mind was this kid's been listening to too much Eminem:P
Though his predicament does get my blood boiling a bit in his defense. My High School was very much the same way... My brother was also expelled for an off-hours Xanga post... but he's just a dumbass:P.
A bit confusing but could be worse. I'm shocked they didn't try to play the number game again, what is this 8th generation for them? Octanium, Octane, Octeron:P, OctaOMFGItsTehPwnage.
Or perhaps their new relationship with Apple is inspring their names now, Core, Seed, Stem
I think in the spirit of 8th generation, they should name one after Chuck Norris (who starred in "The Ocatagon"). I mean who wouldn't buy an Intel Ninjah-jah-jah 2 Roundhouse Edition chip?
1KW Power Supply Recommended, thats not to say the system is going to be constantly sucking 1000W of power 24/7 from your outlet. It's usage will vary as loads vary, and system comfigurations vary (more/less HDD's/RAM).
Consider this: 1x 1000W PSU (800W realistic max output) powering 8 Opteron cores in one box and 1U of rackspace 8x 300W PSU's powering 8 Opteron cores in 8 boxes and 8U of rackspace
I have win 2000 installed on my Compaq Proliant 850R. This unit is a Dual Pentuim Pro 200 MHz machine, with 512MB of RAM and Win2K performs silky smooth even WITH service packs installed. Witha fast SCSI hard drive, this computer is used as my webserver and works very well.
Much love to Win2K Probably my favorite M$ OS.
Found a music guy on ebay unloading them cheap. I bought two of them one for home, one for the office. Just search eBay periodically for the term "12u rack" and you will find these periodically for similar prices.
http://www.auctionspice.com/myroom/ has some pics of my rack setup.
My rack setup cost me $30 shipped for my 12U floor standing rack. Found a 4U brand new Rackmount chassis w/ 300W power supply for $30 at a local auction, and purchased the 3 2U rackmounts off of eBay for.... You guessed it $30 a piece shipped. And those had powersupplies already as well. So grand total for my rack and enclosures came to $150. Added some internals, and BAM! Nice rack server farm next to my desk.
Looks nice, thats for sure, but even I have a 19" rack next to my desk at home! Nothing new to see here. And my rack systems can actually COMPUTE stuff. No wussy CPU's here. Granted the power bill sucks sometimes:)
AMD needs a way to usher in their next secretive generation of CPU's, however they still need a year+ to finish developments and test productions... SO they created this lawsuit as a smoke screen. Once the suit is over, or still in progress, they will unleash this new beast of a CPU on the world resulting in curing of cancer, exploration of Deep space, Global Peace and harmony. Followed shortly by first contact with the Vulcans.
All the while Intel will be forced to release another version of Pentium 4 resulting in a mass riot of slashdotters and fellow geeks tearing down their fabs, and dismanteling the company. (The riots would of course take place before world pease was set into motion)
If they can consider spending such ammounts of money to "stick a cork in the dam", why can't they consider using similar ammounts of money to combat the initial problem itself? Lower our dependence on fossil fuels which are among teh primary causes of Ozone and atmospheric breakdown.
It just seems silly to me.
My agenda if I ran the world:
1. Get our shit together down here on earth
2. Worry about patching up holes once the root of the problem has been taken care of.
Just my 2 cents on a day I will most likely not live to see.:(
Wow, I'm a tool, this was meant for the article about the "space ring":P Oh well. I guess I'll rewrite it there too. SOrry boyz and perhaps a gal or two:P

Unfortunately I do not know of very many rugged mini dv cameras. The high quality camera designed for being beaten up are generally Betacam or DVCAM professional cameras for News stations and such.
Its unfortunate that no company has come out with a "Toughbook" camera, but nice compromises can be found.
Naturally the rule with consumer and prosumer camcorders is the bigger they are the harder they fall and more stuff they break. I personally own a JVC HD1U camcorder that is great, its has a steel handle on top so you can lug it around much easier and safer.
I've had problems with cheap consumer Sony Cameras going bad after a jolt or two. My advice, go to Best Buy or whatever flavor of electronics megamart you prefer, and bang on some of the display models for a while. You'll get some funny looks, but that will be the best way to see what cameras are up to the task.

Opteron Prime vs. Megaxeon
;)
Take note Michael Bay
Let's play 20 questions...
...yes ...Yeah!!!
Is it a mineral?
Is it a tank?
Would that be like having a transistor operating at one billion gigahertz?
Can't wait to steal me some Anti-Piracy Popcorn :)

Don't know about Gimp settings at all, but in photoshop I saved the file as a level 12 JPG... the highest setting available.

Which one would you chose?
Only if you patch it to version 4-5-6

One bolt of lightening or two, AMD still has the integrated flux capacitor instead of having a seperate southbridge to reduce temporal latency.
