I find some jazz and most classical digitized at 128bps un-listenable on my low-end component stereo. I think you'd be hard pressed to listen to 128bps audio on any stereo...
We are told that AMD purchased ATI because they needed graphics expertise I thought it was to gain ATI's experience with chipset design, which AMD has been famously deficient in (AMD760, anyone?)
Place a Berserker at the map entrance. Then, you enter the server room, pick up the nearest chair and throw it at that WinXP server which BSOD'd a while back.
How about a bit more than just 8 registers Increase the # of registers and the task-switch time goes up. With all the hype about multithreading, this isn't what you want.
More than drying heatsink grease, I would think dust accumulation on the heatsinks makes more of a difference. I've seen this happen on a laptop of mine, once I cleaned out the dust, temps dropped and I'm guessing SpeedStep wouldn't have worked against me.

If memory serves, the typical cable modem, uses the bandwidth within the allocation of a single cable channel (video has quite a high bandwidth demand). So utilizing the over-the-air equivalent for local connections makes an awful lot of sense (adding an extra channel or two for redundancy and error correction, due to the increased noise of radio). It's not the same thing. The SNR of terrestrial signals would be so much poorer that you'd need a lot more bandwidth to get the same bitrate. Given that there isn't a whole lot of spectrum freed up by analog TV, the number of transmitting stations would be quite low. Once you get to higher frequencies, you can stuff more channels into each FCC-allocated band, which should be the way to go. Low frequencies should be reserved for stuff that benefits from being broadcast, not for two-way stuff.
They just want to make sure you give out the sources of any binaries you make from _their_ hard work. ...so that someone else may benefit from your hard work. Some see this as a bad thing when all it really means is that otherwise, all your hard work was for nothing.
Spam designed to get past Bayesian filters usually has deliberate spelling mistakes. Convince your local congressman that these spelling mistakes are ruining childrens' english education. In closing, add an ominous, but pleading "think of the children!!!one!!!" Watch in amazement as several swift, but ineffective laws (most with catchy acronyms) are passed against spam.
What about the abomination called the F-lock key on many newer Microsoft/Logitech keyboards? At least if they had the default power-on mode to "F-lock" it wouldn't be so bad... except for Joe Sixpack I guess.
The expensive part is detecting and tracking the launch, not firing the laser at it. Naah, I'd say the expensive part is cleaning up the puke from the aisles after executing the said 3G turns:)
Of course, if "terrorists" did have a barn sized missile with a range of many miles they might prefer other targets rather than airplanes. Unfortunately, size doesn't matter when you're talking about missiles too. You can build missiles^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h rockets far bigger than a barn but they're no use without a guidance system. That isn't something you can go pick up at a local Wal Mart or Toys-r-us.
AFAIK, there are no SAMs (MANPADs or otherwise) that are wire- or optically guided. I believe most wire-guided missiles are anti-tank. Most systems that require commands to be sent from the operator through radar (beamriders, CLOS) are much larger vehicle-mounted systems which are very unlikely to be acquired by a terrorist group.
Sharks like them, don't know why Sharks sense electric potential generated by their prey through receptors on their nose, maybe they detect the fields from the power feeds for the repeaters?

How about a program like Google Earth? Fairly complex, uses OpenGL for 3D, etc. Runs without trouble on several distros.
How about ISO 9660 or UDF?
Oh good, that way they'll ban Windows Mobile!
I'm on my third mouse in two years...

Oh great, that's all we need, *another* airport scanner.
Heh, my captcha says "comply"
How long before someone calls the bomb squad on this one?
Hey, how about that: "someone set up us the bomb-squad"
Not fair comparing the two:
Google China: Firewall for 1.2e9 people
Google Utah: Free adblock for about 5 people?

Green reminds people of SuSe/Novell, I suppose
I would prefere Moon Base Zappa :)
