If we grant 'em 10 seconds to hook the drive up and test it - even automated; remember, these drives aren't exactly fast - that's 891 additional days added to that manufacturing model.
only if they completely shut down the entire operation while waiting for every one to finish.
since it's an assebly line, i think it would be more likely that it would just add 10 seconds to the line.
i did a paper on this in college. from what i remember, Africa's water sources weren't much worse than the other continents. the problem was money: you need to drill down pretty far to get to (relatively) safe drinking water. and for the most part, the people there dont have the money or resources to drill that far.
so they end up using unsafe sources, like the ones on the surface.
yes, but this technology isnt even released yet. 20 MB/s will probably be like their 1x. i'm sure they'll be much faster by the time they get to consumers.
dunno about price, but InPhase says their write speed is 20 MB/s, equivalent to 16x on a DVD. InPhase's initial release is supposed to be later this year. price will probably be way up there, but hopefully it'll be reasonable in a few years.
In four years, either Blu-ray or HD-DVD will most likely be somewhat standardized
i'm hoping we'll be beyond that by then. after all, they're really only an incremental improvement from DVD. i'm shooting for holographic storage! think along the linkes of hundred of gigs per disc.
from what i understand, it can be tested in the lab, just not with today's instruments. we dont have the resources to build a particle accelerator big enough, yet.

i was thinking the same thing, but i couldnt remember the name. it's a form of wall-ball with a bit more of an... incentive

i assume a singplayer is slingware that connects to a slingbox
sling!
Hot Hardware had another review today.

probably only if they let them breed. they could just continue producing clones, rather than letting them breed.
Technology Review had another article on this in august.
and probably most of the punk scene, including all of it's sub-scenes.
rofl. that looks more like a toture machine than anything. they probably could use it as one too, if they just turned it up to 11.
or mabye a sex box...
no kidding.
if it were this easy, couldnt they just wrap a belt around themselves are start pulling? somehow, i doubt that will make anyone feel better.
Of course, that's never gonna happen.
it's the bandwidth, stupid.
yahoo made a real-life /dev/null
"Hey everybody, throw your digital crap in here!"
this pic makes it look fairly attractive. i'm sure there'll be some that complain, but IMO it isnt nearly as ugly and tacky as a flag.
this sounds like a circular particle accelerator.
how come no one thought of this before?

that's almost as good as the 1/10 of a penny i save on every gallon of gas!
oh, wait, did you say iPod?
there are other options you know... i personally love the zen vision: m (which has FM)
how does my case look? it's got 3 windows. 3!!! of course, the window on the side with the motherboard tray is pretty useless...
and, it may not be the smartest decision, since they get hella scratched up, but i've always been fond of the clear design
