    in Perpetual Motion Comment by berlepsch March 2008
  • Mark, let's do a quick reality check: to create 1 kg of steam from boiling water, an energy of 2.26 MJ is needed (heat of evaporation). The potential energy of 1kg of mass at a height of 250 m is 2.5 kJ (m*g*h) or about 1 per mille of the invested e…

  • While watching the video, I kept asking myself if that guy has "My right arm" tattooed on his right arm. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

  • I saw numbers of 17 W for the 1.6 and 1.8 GHz ultra low voltage processors (core 2 duo SL9300/9400, 45 nm structures). That's half the power consumption of the currently used 2.2 and 2.4 GHz models.

    in A Bit Disappointed Comment by berlepsch January 2008
  • I believe the critical question here is, "What makes a Unix system a Unix System?". As I see it, OS X uses a *BSD kernel and implements its own application framework, most notably Carbon and Quartz, on top of it. In addition, it supports the traditi…

  • I found a bit more info on the HDCP issue. It *should* only become active when it is requested by some HD signal like Blu-Ray, or HD-TV, but not for normal computer use. If you want to use a computer for displaying these media, the driver of the gra…
    in DVI-D and DVI-I - One in the Same? Comment by berlepsch November 2007
  • It seems that the Dell monitor uses HDCP on its DVI port, which is most probably not supported by the ATI 9800. I am not sure if HDCP on the monitor side implies that it will only accept high res digital video from a HDCP enabled source. If this is …

  • With the current Santa Rosa chipsets, dual channel memory configuration has become quite flexible. You can even use RAM of different size and with different timing (in case of different timing, all memory is accessed at the speed of the slowest modu…
    in "Matched Pair" Comment by berlepsch November 2007
  • Wikipedia says that the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D lies in the analog output that is included in DVI-I, but is missing in DVI-D. The design of the connectors is such that you can plug in your monitor's DVI-D cable directly to the DVI-I port …
