First, please be aware that it is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight Savings Time. The extra 's' is extra. Please be aware that it is the Department of Redundancy, not the Redundancy Department of Redundancy. The redundant redundancy is redundant.
They're going to take XP off the market, then a couple months later after they get tired of everyone bitching about Vista, they'll reintroduce it as Windows Classic. Either that or as XP SE.
With the availability of VMWare, Xen, etc. you can have your own CompileFarm. Obviously it's not a good choice if you're trying to render an animated movie or similar, but for testing or compiling it should fulfill most of your needs.
Someone above mentioned that the algo is embarrassingly parallel. Could it be implemented in realtime as a filter for emulators of older game consoles? I would be interested in seeing what this thing could do with a sonic or mario game, though I dunno how much color depth plays into it. Could maybe make psx or n64 games look less shitty. Might look even better than high-level emulation. You could run a screen shot of the game through it and see if its even worth applying to the emulator. It wouldn't be any different as the filter doesn't use the previous/next frames to enhance the image.
I don't have FIOS so I'm not talking from personal experience, but from what I've read, they remove the copper wiring when they install the fiber. So you no longer have the option. I'm not sure if you can tell them to leave the copper wiring there.

Plus the HDMI standard requires the HDMI connector you can't use your own proprietary one.

The developers can just put the patch on the game disk and require it to be installed before you can play.
