I believe the Turion64 Mobile CPUs based on the Venice core (I forget their codename) have slightly lower consumption than the Pentium-M, although the Pentium-M does a very good job as well.
They tested it on 3Dmark... that's totally irrelevant to anyone looking to buy the card; Nvidia are notorious for optimising their drivers for synthetic benchmarks, meaning Nvidia cards almost always perform much better in tests like 3D mark, but when you get the cards into a game anything can happen.
...how quickly corps like MS will sell out their customers to make a quick buck. This is not only found in the Spyware arena but also with companies such as Intel embedding DRM into their chips when coaked by the various entertainment industries.

This is 1999... that background is the contemprary equivalent to having your entire site done in flash and sliding menus. (Would have taken up the same % of bandwidth, been just as hard to implement and would have stood out just as much...)
During its first year of release, Sony Computer Entertainment suffered a loss of 51.1 billion yen ($458 million), but it recovered the next year with a profit of 82.9 billion yen ($759 million), followed by 112.6 billion yen ($1.03 billion) the year after.
(An interesting footnote: the QuickDraw graphics routines in the Mac's ROM do provide for color, although Apple has not announced any intentions for supporting such.)
It's eriee how similar this statement is to the statements which we get every time Apple launches a new product even today... "a.wma icon was included with the iTunes app in Mac OS X Tiger" or a while back it was possible to unlock the "secret colour screen" on your iPod 3rd gen. (it made the screen turn blue.)
Also similarly, the author says he actually wouldn't like colour, and he's glad Apple left this feature out. (Remind anyone of Steve Job's current stance on the video iPod?)
Also in other news... P2P client developer Grokster is being sued for failing to stop copyright infringing files from being distrubuted on it's network.

Hotmail over gMail - MS's handy adverts popup right infront of you, so you don't have to scroll to the bottom of the page. MS has always been at the forefront of UI design.
MSN Search over Google Search - WE PUT IT IN TV ADVERTS
Microsoft's Maps service over Google Maps - It never gives wrong directions. (Becasue it doesn't exist.)
Before everybody starts criticizing Jon... please remember that he's actually not publicising this as being a huge crack operation, it's the sites which are publicising his hack which are. He's just made a minor fix to a program, nowhere on his Blog does he say "OMGZ I HAX0R J00!" Infact he documents the exact way he did it to show that he didn't actually do anything complex.
Anybody get the feeling this has something to do with the G8 summit being held in Gleneagles in a short time? Considering Indymedia's past association with AntiGlobalization maybe the Police thought they could take some of the pressure off the inevitable protests which will occur outside and around the summit by taking out an information hub, or maybe Indymedia were inciting violence, which IANAL but in the UK is a reason for a court injuntion.
("Public safety" tends to overrule civil liberties in the UK, just look at the banning of Hoodies in shopping centers.)
I would say it answers questions rather than raises them actually, which is a first. If you're dead and you come back and you didn't see no heaven, there there wheren't no heaven.
If you're dead, you go to hell/heaven then science plucks you from Satan's Jaws(TM)/God's Loving Caress(TM) then there most certainly is an afterlife.
The difference is that your company (or any company for that matter, excluding supercorps like IBM and MS) probably didn't have the market clout to instigate a wave of software development. An exclusive governmental contract, even for a moderately sized government such as that of Norway, would be juicy enough to spur development of a standard, or at least an open sourced solution.
"Gary Schare, director of strategic product management in the Windows division of Microsoft, says that while RSS is a reliable standard for updating information in message form, it currently has no logical way to organize that information in a way that could help subscribers keep track of what is being fed to them."
Surely sorting the data is the job of the client program, RSS is just a way of delivering the information. I'd assume the Participatory Culture Foundation is going to have some way of sorting through the shows you subscribe to. Ways which currently exist include indexing the RSS message "Spotlight" or Longhorn search style or just using the existing HTML Meta Tag systems. (The former being IMO much more flexible and informative than anything Microsoft could come up with in code.)
Odeon's site is very strange, I've found it doesn't work with Firefox but does work with Opera 7/8. Normally Opera tends to be the most pedantic about different sites, so I thought it was quite a strange occurance.
Fortunately Opera is my primary browser, it just means I can't check film times on my Parent's PC, who I have given Firefox and Thunderbird. (The combination is a huge success, I haven't had to format for them since I switched them to the Moz programs 100%)
For my parents I chose Firefox rather than Opera because I know that Opera isn't for everybody, it's really a very different browser to anything else because of the different layout and features which come as standard.
Actually, the memory is kinda the bottleneck. Becuase current RAM technologies has a speed which matches the bus, increasing the bus higher it great except for the fact that RAM can't stand going that high. Most new Athlon64 boards with Hypertransport can hit 1.25Ghz bus speed (if you take into account the HT multipliers) but RAM speed dividers have to be used to keep the memory from dying, which as any overclocker knows is more often than not the problem with any overclock. (Most modern CPUs and motherboards have loads of bus speed overclockability in them.)

Well they removed the harvest gold when they added the 6GB HDs... but Green is most certainly there.

Mike doesn't like it when I ban whole countries.
Subnetmasks and ISPs are fine.
Is Burma-Shave going to be the new "In Soviet Russia..."? Just thought I'd check before I cancelled my DSL subscription...
Na we all use Solaris...

Well, I have been duped into going to a few pointless sites, but only by Slashdot ;)

This doesn't surprise me, as at one time most Americans used AOL as their ISP. (I don't know if this is still true.)

Well we agree on something ;)
