“As we’ve seen, Core 2 Quadro represents a significant step ahead, which AMD cannot counter until its 65 nm quad core processors will be available in H2/2007. AMD needs 4×4 now.”
Generally, same gaming performance, amazing ~80% gains in threaded software like video encoding or HD rendering.
Personally, I’ll wait for an AMD solution with 4 Cores on 1 Chip, a huge ass cache, smaller processes, and an uncapped multiplier.
Maybe the FX-64?
Here we see that President Bush’s iPod contains songs by the Beatles; since no Beatles songs have been licensed for the iTunes Music Store yet, these must have come from ripped CDs. Remember last February, when the RIAA told a federal agency that ripping CDs is illegal? I wonder if they’ll bring charges.
I hope they do… then finally people will realise how absolutely retarded these suits are.

Arrested for being a geek.
“The police decided that wearing a rain jacket, carrying a rucksack with a laptop inside, looking down at the steps while going into a tube station and checking your phone for messages just ticked too many boxes on their checklist and makes you a terrorist suspect.”
A) He should be happy they didn’t go for a headshot
B) That guy needs his stuff back.
C) They should expunge the record of this incident
D) They should Apologise
E) He should sue
F) Scotland Yard needs a kick in the balls, too.

The news that a service provider was forcing its broadband customers to pay a premium to use VoIP from Vonage shows that it’s time for a “broadband bill of rights.”
Here’s what I want in The Internet Bill of Rights:
Thats all I want in a Telco. Maybe I’m dreaming… maybe I’m not.

UPDATE: w00t! +1 Trackback!!
From Digg:
Reading on the MythTV board
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/150079?page=unread#unread
that there is a requirement from the FCC for Cable operators as of April 1, 2004 to have WORKING Firewire ports (76.701 section 4(ii))
And HMI or DVI ports by July 1, 2005.
This is a major step forward for the free (as in speech) movement. I was planning a mythbox and this is just in time. The box I was thinking of using (the one I’m typing this on now) Has 2 Firewire ports; one on the back that has the “traditional” connector, and another on the front that has the propriotary Sony i-link interface. (Why do companies have an urge to name things with an “i” in the front?) So now I probably won’t have to buy a Tuner Card!! w00t!! and now I don’t even have to screw around with a cable card or anything!! hehehe I’m starting to not hate the FCC as much. For once they’re actually working for the customer anstead of for the copyright holder. We should implement a Viewerright legislation!!!
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!
