I've alway believed this was the plan for the cell processor. Still this is a great idea, though I would only be interested in the hardware. Having something like this plugged into LCD TV's with XDMC on a Server in the closet would be a nice setup. I wish they would have given specifics on the graphics chip, my guess is ATI.
The people too lazy to protect other people from spam should have their machines taken from them. The machines should then be replaced in the first locatable, preferable from behind, orifice.
Everything that OpenOffice needs must be included with the application and loaded when the application loads. The opposite is true with Office. The majority of the application is already in the operating system. This is why OpenOffice is cross platform and Office is not.
OpenOffice has its own fonts and font engine, though it can utilize others. Office uses the OS's font engine but adds fonts to the OS during installation. OpenOffice has its own engine to place, draw, clip... windows/forms. Office uses the OS's. OpenOffice has its own database engine, though it can use several others. Office uses jet which is part of the OS.
The list goes on...
If the file format was supposed to be tested for perfomance then they should have used the two different formats with the same application.
Its funny how I see lots of "I had no problem installing linux _distro_ on a laptop I just bought" but no "so I sent $50 bucks to _distro_". I'm a big fan of not paying anything for something until it works instead of fronting out big cash for something that ends up being crap(M$).
Does anyone think Vista is going to be a Windows software release that is not in a constant state of beta requiring cash up front.
Games are the only applications that ever promt someone to buy a high end machine.Unless they are planning on developing 3D applications or convert a pr0n shop of movies to mpeg this processor is pointless.

Games are the only applications that ever promt someone to buy a high end machine. Unless they are planning on developing 3D applications or convert a pr0n shop of movies to mpeg this processor is pointless. As you say "probably within the next two or three years..." software will be ready to use these capabilities. Two to three years in hardware time is 5 to 7 years or 1 to 2 upgrade cycles for gamers.
At the rate of changes in socket, bus, and chipsets I think "the upgradable computer" is dead. I would rather have a cheap motherboard with good, for a change, graphics chips built in. Give me a motherboard with an nForce4 chipset, 7.1 sound, 2 7900 graphics chips, and at least on nic. Put it on a mini-atx format. Charge me 70% of buying the components seperately and I'll be happy.
I have no idea why they are looking at this in a desktop centric way. In no way is x64 bit or duel core processing support available for important desktop applications(games).
We didn't see any performance improvement by the use of DDR2 memories instead of DDR. In fact, Athlon 64 FX-60 was faster in several situations, showing that at least for the software we used having a bigger L2 memory cache is better than having DDR2 memory instead of regular DDR.
This processor and socket is for servers. I want to know important things like: How long before support is available for Linux or Solaris.
I think it is great. Windows is the OS that needs the pretection. If they provide the protection, kill off the people that have been doing it for them, and suffer the degradation in quality, I'm all for it. It is their pot. They like to piss in it. Let them live with it.
Now tiny "think tanks" can pretend to be thousands of users by using different email address' and phone numbers to manipulate who receives patents.
I've been so appreciative of them deciding what I get to not watch on TV or listen on the radio. It is about time they are given the power to do extra stuff for us.
When I took PASCAL and FORTRAN my teacher made us use pen and paper. All test were code from our heads onto paper and our grade was related to the number of syntax errors. I regard this teacher as the best I've ever had but...
After a few years, knowing how to use borland's turbo pascal ide actually became more important. As far as managers were concerned, the more familiar you were with it the more experience you had. Now days it is "the unspeakable tool" and Eclipse.
I think you should do both. Teach them with Eclipse but make them take tests with pen and paper.
I just settled for a MSI-1029 with MT-40 and X700. The only thing that really bothered me about it was a clock skew. I had to add noapic to grub. I would add the hassle of dealing with graphics drivers but there isn't an alternative if you want to play a 3D game.
I did linux from scratch on my Old Dell and decided to go with a distro this time. I liked Gentoo and it is working just fine.
I searched for a laptop with a Turion, nForce4 chipset, and a Gforce >= 6800. The choices were Intel processor and Gforce card or AMD processor with ATI card. Completely the reverse of what I wanted. I need to use the machine for work so it had to be small, no 17" for me, but I still wanted to play games.

Cool! They should call it Symetric Multi Processing!
You need that kind of power for traffic shaping, packet inspection, AV scanning, and Spam filtering on large networks.

This brings back memories of when people would hack machines to call toll numbers and jack peoples phone bills. Anyone that doesn't have something like this: http://www.twacomm.com/catalog/model_TR-1.htm?sid= 796A44FD5AF852C3D29DFC365FE51B76 could find themselves in phone bill hell.

Ironic statement from the Synfig site: ...we are currently unaware of any other software that can do what our software can.
I guess that has changed.
It's about time someone wrote a bios that lets Linux shine.
So this articles point is?
1) See I told you this would happen.
2) See it has started.
3) Are you angry enough today? No? Good 'cus here is some more bad news.
