When I first read this on the interweb i thought it was a joke, i mean come on we have all joked about the guy being crazy and one day a croc would get em... Now that it has happened it is hard to do so anymore. Barb through the heart, that is brutal. RIP steve.
hey man, i dont think it strange at all. I wish i was on gigabit. I wish my school was on gigabit. I wish instead of looking to achieve what people have had (100mbit) for nearly a decade, we try to move up. Computers and disk space and everything else has improved by leaps and bounds while networking is so relatively slow (even though it is increasingly important in the way computers are used). Hope that explains what i was going after a bit;)
welcome to reality. wireless works for current trivial tasks, but it can't stalk up to wired- it incrementally tries to match it. Gigabit wired is what we should be using (as scaled in time and in bandwidth demand), not 10/100 thats been around forever.
DirectX! APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD!

As you can see, there are far worse examples of annoying repetition;)
another option is to NOT USED WINDOWS OR COMMON OPERATING SYSTEMS. Make it so that the device does what it is supposed to do and nothing more- it will be far more secure.
the usb thing is another issue- the thing is that people without the wherewithal to keep things that should be secure... secure is to not let them handle it!
I think this 4x4 approach is a niche area in itself, this isn't to replace or succeed the dual core x2 at all. I think it is simply a new product to keep those at the high end to stick with AMD. If you can afford it or wait for it, im sure it would be very nice for people who need the power. A particularly nice area would be in CG where these cores could contribute to rendering- imagine 3 dedicated to rendering while with the 4th you continue to work on your project or work on a separate one, all on one machine. We'll just have to see how useable it really is though.
Sequals are bad, EA is evil and the biggest issue, nobody wants to play ww2 games anymore, engines cost a small fortune, the only good way to make indy games now is via STEAM thanks to valve (eg: the ship, ragdoll kungfoo, dystopia, etc...), no engine developers think of opengl so no cross platform games anymore (from the getgo), short term thinking, episodes!, paying for patches (battlefield 2, again EA), releasing buggy as hell games (Oblivion) and then releasing pay to play items they never included in games. I miss 1998/1999: HL, UT, Q3, etc...
the graphics cards today are coming out on PCI express, not agp, so its not possible to really do this... Im still on an athlon xp 2500+ oc'd to 3200+ speed (fsb200) and a 9800pro. No reason to upgrade and I play games on it. I dont use 16xaf and 6xaa at 1600x1200... so I dont need to spend thousands on these ginormous video cards. Nothing is pushing the current (3 year old) hardware enough! And the only way for me to upgrade at this point is to shell out for all new parts (ram, mobo, cpu, video card) since nothing is the same. Thankfully the AMD versus INTEL is really back and the pricewars will begin. Muhahaha
Don't tell me everything will be Google(TM) Dell(TM) edition! I guess it is a milestone, but it certainly isn't something to look foreward to. Any what stuff would be bundled? Sounds like Search and maybe Earth will be there, maybe some unanounced projects? I mostly equate bundled dell software to music match jukebox heh, and I dont know of a google music yet...
Ive been following them for a long time- their software demos blew my mind a few years ago (the one with the towers made of bricks that you could destroy oh so fun).
We should wait for real games to make use of the physics. Ghost recon uses it as a gimmick. The tech demo game as listed in one of the articles is a real showing of what the card is capable of. When the game engines catch up and use it as an intrical part rather than a gimmick it will usher in a new era of gaming. It really will, look at what happened with hardware 3d.
lol.
How can you not clearly see how in violation Apple computers is of the agreement? They release an ipod, clearly a music player, and then must have itunes to legitimize the product (remember rio got sued for selling just the mp3 player), so itunes is a way to legitimize it. At the same time, they are selling music. It isn't like 7-11 at all. You zealots need to get your heads out of your arses and think a little bit.
Apple owns all pictures, videos, concerts, recordings, tapes, etc... Jackson, now sony, *only* owns the ability for new artists singing it etc and to use in commercials or whatever... Apple Corps's assets, in the recordings, are worth "more [money] than jesus".
When they do the wrong thing, hundreds of comments!
When they do the right thing, they dont say anything.
How about some positive reinforcement here? I for one applaud their decision and hope others stand up for freedom.
With this development, we know "the guys with the money" are willing to invest in interesting SCIFI shows. Imagine if these guys, who pulled battlestar from what the original was to its current version, did some remakes or updates of other series that were simply not done right. SeaQuest anybody?

My dog has done funnier things while he was asleep. Moving on...
The "linksys 802.11" router is more important than windows 95... among other things.

Way to go! USA! USA! USA! Our freedoms are the envy of the world!
Would the result be more easily reproduced or guaranteed in a zero gravity environment eg: space? This could get some funds back into the ISS

Its as though every announcement concerning breakthroughs are only good for our rodent friends ;) Get the stuff to work for people and we can all live.

Time to move to... oh wait. what is the world coming to? Revolution anybody?
Well we are using the net right? Choose your diction wisely :)

i dont think you got what i was saying... if digital music is equal to physical music, then apple is indeed selling music!
how can the RIAA claim that data is music and thus under copyright when it isn't physical?

Well, I wager that even though 100% of these "high IQ" users may visit one of these sites, 99.99% don't become infected by it.
