Obviously he is exaggerating a bit. Process scaling still works at 90nm and since IBM is projecting to deliver 65nm CPUs for MS' XBox, it can't be completely dead. However, there are increasingly signs that the usual methods of moving to smaller …

Well, at least Bremer hasn't lost his sense of humor: Bremer said the abuse has done "enormous damage to the U.S. Army, but U.S. soldiers also rebuild schools and hospitals." After all, what's a little torture among friends as long as you are re…

Quote: Originally posted by NaplesX Noone in their right mind thought it was right to do those things to these prisoners, but the level of outrage over criminals and terrorists is a little off balance. I have yet to hear any of you cry over the i…

Those specs don't sound completely unreasonable. Longhorn will be built on C#, which is a vastly easier language to program to than C, C++, or objC, but gobbles up vastly more resources, too. It is much like Java in this respect. Most likely, it …

So, what now? The lady was running Abu-Ghureib like some demented SS bitch from a 70s Ilsa exploitation flick, her underlings free to act out racial hatred to a random mix of thugs and civilians picked from the street and detained without fair tria…

What is quite interesting is the sexual undercurrent and the efford to humiliate in a lot of the tortures reported. This is no honest-to-god rough 'em up torture to get people to talk, but here is a deep ingrained hatred showing. Those torture techn…

One should not forget that Crolles is a very modern fab, comparable to Fishkill. It is planned to go the whole 90nm -> 45nm (or even 35) transition and was built some time ago. I don't know if they are building the 7447A there or in the older fab…

Quote: Originally posted by Cosmo does converting from WMA (lossy) to ACC (lossy) result in an even lossier file? Absolutely yes. There is no known way of transcoding between lossy formats which does not degrade the quality at least a bit.
