anyone know how this compaires to ati's agp 1600, its for sale for £99 vs a guestimated cost of £180 odds and from what i can gather its not much slower.
the manufactures dont really have anything to lose with the underlying os, very few people care and its not like their competitors can just take their work since the competitors phones will probably use different chips etc.
the apps they install on top of the os may be locked down but they dont need to be opensource.
theres actually less than petrol, not to mention it will be a lot more difficult to upgrade the pipeline infrastructure should such a thing take off.
if someone works out a good way to get hydrogen from water its a different ball game though. unfortunately the oxgen disposal and need for lots more electricity could still be an issue.
as far as i can see social skills and education/upbringing make more of a difference than anything else for employment prospects.
the wealthier already can afford better schools and there is still plenty of social mobility between the income brackets,i cant say i would risk my kid turing into a scifi freak just so he could earn a few bucks more a year.
is the distro compiled with the latest gcc or does it just ship with it, my understanding is 3.4 still produces significantly faster code and most suse users would probably prefer a more cautious approach anyway.
las i read itaniums were something like 32 billion in r&d and rather than taking a hit on the cost per chip they are going to have to write off the whole lot.
i would guess now there isnt too much difference in die size between a dual core P4 and an itanium, i know even ms have given up on them but start shiping 2way limited riggs about the same price as xeons and they my still be able to revive some market
it doesnt matter, most people dont want to read books multiple times{1} the extra functionality of a ebook reader where you can have a subscription service which eliminates almost all the supply chain is massive.
think how many more people have ipods and pay to download music compaired to what the music market used to be like, it will grow the market and this larger market will make it possible for more specialised publications to thrive.
newspapers can drop the need for printing and delivery costs, this extra profitability will hopefully result in more/better repoters.
the same with highly technical books which the average./er may actualy like to read but isnt prepaired to shell out £34 and wait 6 weeks for, put a technical subscription service online with read as much as you feel like for £5 a month and you will see the tech books which used to only be read by a few hundred referenced and read by a larger readership, an extention to the principle that amazon makes a lot of money for a long tail of low volume books.
i really dont care if joe public gets gouged a little for the next steven king novel, the publishing industry is a lot more diverse and less corrupt than the music industry, hopefully they will learn a new way to make profit
{1} i know people like us have 20 year old textbooks we still refer to etc but i mean normal people
2.7 would be the unstable version, this is currently being done by a branch of the 2.6 kernel which was designed to be expanded and have features ported back into it.
im sure i remeber hearing about a system where you scan in all the shreds of paper and software reassembles the edges to recreate the documents.
now quite apart from the fact that a paper shreder can be bought for pennys, wouldnt it be far more use to have the printer just to print a huge black box or just go up to the roof with a trash can and matches.
dont know about in the us but in europe the germans have always built high end cars, i always though that while the us was good at churning out volume cars it never seemed to add value, chrysler selling 5 times as much as mercedies but making less profit etc.
on the intel front the whole direction of motherboards is integrating stuff into the cpu, just look at amd adding pci-express.
now what nobody is saying is the whole reason they need to do this is they maxed out their manufacturing capacity, because the p4 is a dog so they needed to keep upping the cache and couldnt command the premium dual core might have taken and shape demand that way
anantech recently did an article which showed even when they upped to 500mhz ddr and it took doom3 and encodeing a dvd on a dual core cpu to even touch that bandwidth, you would be better off with the lower latency
yeah but how many people could max out the connection, theres only so much content you can grab, there is a limited amount of distros, movies and porn not to mention disk space
the advantage is while the contention ratio may be low the link is so fast that very few other people will be using it at the same time
doubtfull the cost of waging real wars is constantly going up requiring more and more expensive killing devices while the value of resources will be going down thanks to increased availability.
also these days everything is so inter connected it not in anyones interest to rock the boat
i do hope it will play in mplayer on xine, i dont really see the point in them locking down the format when we have already paid for the program as the bloody annoying "adverts" keep telling us
it is a damn funny show and though i recon they are probably just trying to increase its profile it does signal a new direction in brodcasting
does industrial purposes include bearings, i would thing this would be a great application of a diamond coating. not only are bearing customers used to paying massive ammounts but the labour savings in not having to change them over could result in a large and justifiable premium.

dont know if youve checked cpu prices recently but if yo stay away from the bleading edge a decent pc costs nowhere near 3 grand.
that said if i had a hdtv i would probably get an xbox360 just to dump my windows gaming partition.
the gpu is faster for this specific task

i only ever car about fps but as far as i can see theres plenty of mods based on the complex engines which are the difficult bit to develop.
indie developers may need to licence an engine but theres still plenty of potential to do their own thing

access to some really smart people, think how good a motivation this could be for staff as well.

anyone who has seen what bt has been up to will see that local loop unbundelling is the best way to get fast connections
it cool but will cost a fortune and it would be a lot cheaper just geting a bunch of blank keyboards and some stickers
