They gave a range of @1300 miles on the 133gal tank... That's roughly 9.7744360902255639097744360902256 mpg.
SLVR L7c rumored for Sprint {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 2nd 2006 7:25PM The only thing I would be really interested in is if this moto has EVDO... With the bluetooth use as modem hack I love my A920, but it wouldn't be such a bad thing to deal with to slap an extended battery on this slim little dealy, especially since I got the extendo for the A920... If it does all that and the bag of chips I might be willing to buy it early...
AMD launches Turion 64 X2 to fight Core Duo {Engadget}
May 18th 2006 1:02AM Alright guys, here's the real deal. AMD uses on-die memory controllers for every 64bit CPU they make. They've even changed the manufacturing process for their non-64bit CPUs in the higher scale. This means there is no FSB to bottleneck the system at the motherboard. RAM runs at the speed of the CPU.
Intel hasn't mastered this technology yet, but the news is that they've got a sort of working prototype. Until Intel gets it to market AMD will always rule the roost.
Now, couple zero motherboard bottleneck with dual core technology and you will see the same performance difference that have been demonstrated between comperable Intel CPUs and AMD-64 CPUs when you compare dual core CPUs in the same manner. Until Intel gets with the program AMD has the performance game in the bag. Plain and simple.
My big question is, what socket is the dual core? I wonder if I can get one for my lappy... That might be worth voiding the warranty. Hmmmm...
Hackaday links {Hack a Day}
Oct 24th 2005 10:55AM Re: #7 and #8 posts... Grey and Gary, Flash and Shockwave have a tendency to poll for video devices by default. There are settings you can change to disable this function but a lot of people don't pay much attention to them because when they're creating apps if it doesn't have anything to do with a client's video capabilities they're not going to look at that part of their SDK. A user of the app can disable access to their video devices if they right click in a running flash app and select options. Grey, you're absolutely right about the posibilities for nefariousnous... If you're not sure about what you're using online you should always check to make sure you're not broadcasting blind. I don't think Gary's AuctionMapper app is doing anything bad, though. It is pretty damn awesome if you ask me!
Hack-A-Day goes independent {Hack a Day}
Oct 12th 2005 2:15AM Excellent news guys! I always wondered why A-ho-hell would go about buying up an industry that was not intended to make a huge profit anyway, but I guess we can all chalk it up to megalomania. Everything's quoole now, though. And by the way, keep HAD in beta. Hacks never come out of beta unless some corp. buys it up and wants to make money off it. The only people who should make money off HAD is HAD!
