  2. IBM researchers today unveiled the fastest and most highly integrated optical data bus ever developed. The prototype technology could bring massive amounts of bandwidth in an energy-efficient way to all kinds of machines—from cell phones to supercomputers. This could revolutionize the way we access, use and share information across many different applications. The new technology uses light instead of wires to transmit information. This could allow, for example, the transmission of 8 terabits of data per second—equivalent to about 5,000 high-definition video streams—using the power of a single 100-Watt lightbulb. Bandwidth of this magnitude could greatly enhance the energy efficiencies of entire data centers and accelerate the sharing of large datasets. The potential advantages are far-reaching. Whether it's scientists crunching data to discover new drugs or to forecast the weather, people sharing high-definition movies on various devices, doctors sending high-definition medical images to a specialist for diagnosis within seconds while the patient is still in the office, or bringing the power of high-definition to mobile phones, the enormous bandwidth capacity of this new technology could change the way we work and live. In the context of so-called green computing initiatives, the new optical technology could save massive amounts of power in supercomputers. For a typical 100-meter-long link, the power consumed by this new optical technology is 100 times less than today’s electrical interconnects. This translates into a power savings of 10 times over current commercial optical modules. The new prototype, called a "green optical link", is designed to meet the bandwidth requirements of petaflop and even exaflop supercomputing. As such, it constitutes a significant leap from related work announced by the same research team just one year ago. The new technology combines optical chips and optical data buses into a single package together with standard components. This is truly amazing but will we ever see it in our lifetime to the extent of real life application. Would be nice to see these speeds one day. Full story HERE
  3. Canadian jazz guitarist Jeff Healey, known for his blues-based rock and his distinctive playing style, died in hospital on Sunday after a life-long battle with cancer. He was 41. Healey, stricken with retino blastoma, a rare form of cancer that robbed him of his eyesight as a baby, first picked up the guitar when he was three years old. With his trademark style of holding the instrument across his lap, Healey formed his first band at 17 and later gained fame for his trio, The Jeff Healey Band. Discovered by the legendary jazz guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan in a Toronto bar in 1982, Healey released a string of albums over the next 20 years, including the 1988 Grammy-nominated "See the light," with the hit single "Angel Eyes." He performed with a host of legends over his three-decade career, including B.B. King, George Harrison and Vaughan. Healey was also the host of a long-running jazz radio show and owned the funky "Jeff Healey's Roadhouse," a Toronto-based bar in which he frequently recorded. At the time of his death, he was about to release his first rock and blues recording in eight years, "Mess of Blues." Healey leaves his wife Cristie and two children. Truly sad to lose such a great musician. Seen this guy live once. He has more talent in his little finger then most musicians have in the whole being. Jeff you will be truly missed.

  4. EMORY, Texas - A weekend ambush left a mother and her two sons dead and the father wounded, a grisly shooting and stabbing attack authorities say was carried out by the family's teenage daughter and the boyfriend her parents disliked. ADVERTISEMENT "We feel confident that the motive was the fact that the juvenile daughter and one of the individuals in custody were dating and that the parents were attempting to break the relationship up, which led to the crime that was committed," Rains County Sheriff David Traylor said Sunday. The 16-year-old girl joined her boyfriend and two others in killing members of the Caffey family in their bedrooms before setting the house on fire, authorities said, confirming what most in this rural farming town had known since the pre-dawn attack Saturday. The lone survivor was Terry Caffey, the father. He was shot five times — including twice in the back — before he dragged himself through the woods in search of help. He awaited surgery Sunday to remove the bullets, Traylor said, and an update was not available Monday morning. Killed were Penny Caffey, 37, and sons Tyler, 8, and Mathew, 13. The girl, who was not identified because of her age, was arraigned Sunday on three counts of capital murder and being held on $1.5 million bond. Charlie James Wilkinson, the girl's 19-year-old boyfriend, and two others, Charles Allen Waid, 20, and Bobbi Gale Johnson, 18, were arraigned on the same charges. Waid, Johnson and Wilkinson were being held in Rains County jail on $1.5 million bond. The Caffeys' daughter was being held in neighboring Hunt County's juvenile detention center. Traylor said he wasn't aware if they had attorneys yet. The killings gripped everyone and everything in Emory, from the Sunday morning church services to lunch conversations at small cafes along the two-lane road running through this town of just 1,500. Classmates of the Caffeys' daughter and Wilkinson described the couple as inseparable and with few other friends on campus. Stunning most here was the arrest of Johnson, who was widely described as a good student active in theater at Rains High School. Jennifer McClanahan, a senior at Rains, said that Wilkinson had been scolded during her English class last week for being on the computer. Wilkinson, she said, in turn told the teacher that her girlfriend's father had hacked into his MySpace page. McClanahan and others said Wilkinson was not really a troublemaker, other than constantly being told to remove the cowboy hat he always wore to school. "That's Charlie," said McClanahan, 17. "He would start an argument over something like a hat." Carl Johnson, a friend of the family, said the Caffeys moved about two years ago to just outside Emory. He called them good Christians and said he often told the daughter he wanted her soft singing voice to perform at his funeral. "(The parents) didn't like the boy and were trying to break them up," Johnson said. "They told me at church they didn't have any use for him." The attack occurred on about 20 acres of pine-canopied, remote land in Alba on a narrow gravel road with just two other homes. The area is so secluded that even the closest neighbors reported only faintly hearing what sound liked thunder early Saturday, and few saw the blaze. Authorities said that Terry Caffey crawled 300 yards to his closest neighbor to get help, leaving a bloody trail. He was shot in the head, twice in the back and twice near his shoulder, Traylor said. The Rev. Todd McGahee of Miracle Faith Baptist Church, where the Caffeys worshipped and were the house musicians, wept and struggled to stay composed during his Sunday sermon. "When I first heard, I was like, I don't even think I would have crawled out of the house," McGahee told his congregation. "But God has a purpose for Terry's life. God has a reason. God gave him the strength to get out." One gun and one knife were used in the attack, Traylor said. He would not detail which suspects he believed were responsible for which acts, saying only that all four were there at the time. Police found the daughter hiding in the home of one of the suspects, Traylor said. The family members were asleep in their bedrooms when the ambush began, Traylor said. Penny Caffey and Mathew suffered gunshots and stab wounds; the youngest, Tyler, had only stab wounds. On the Caffeys' wooded plot, the family's black Labrador waited in vain by the ashes of the incinerated house and a burned van for his owners to return. "There's been a change in this church and a change in this community," McGahee told about 80 worshippers. "And we can't just wish it away. ... It will be the same loss, the same hurt tomorrow. There's been that change in our lives." Ok I get she was pissed at her parents for trying to break up the relationship with her boyfriend. But what did her brothers have to do with it. One cruel and spoiled self centered biatch if you ask me. Source HERE
  5. Lets play a game. Post a pic of a game screenshot and everyone try to guess what it is. Winner gets to post the next screenshot. I will start and I will tell when the user had guessed right. Also name system if possible.
  6. Seen the whole series...way too short but very good storyline. I just started watching Xenosaga. No idea on how I ever missed this one. Very good so far.
  7. If you like Pantera try the band they created after Pantera it is called Damageplan. Also Hell Ya is a new band with Dimebags brother and the singer from Mudvayne. And if you like Pantera Anthrax is a good choice as well.
  8. Ya I remember it well. Was on good and hilarious joke...good times.
  9. Kinston Technology, a leading supplier of memory modules, demonstrated on Thursday its ability to overclock its HyperX DDR3 memory modules to unprecedented clock-speed with the help of a mainboard running Nvidia Corp.’s next-generation core-logic that supports DDR3 memory. The memory module maker overclocked its HyperX PC3-16000 (KHX16000D2K2/2G) memory modules from their default clock-speed of 2.0GHz to 2.13GHz using a mainboard powered by yet unannounced Nvidia nForce 790i core-logic for Intel Corp.’s processors. At press time it was unclear which latency and voltage settings were set. The video of the demonstration that Kingston has uploaded shows that no special cooling systems were used to overclock the PC3-16000 memory modules by about 5% from their default clock-speed. Back last year A-Data and Walton Chaintech introduced their 2GHz Vitesta DDR3-2000X and Apogee GT Blazer DDR3 2000 memory kits that could operate at 2.0GHz with 2.10V or 2.15V voltage setting. The ultra high-speed memory modules utilize 6-layer print-circuit boards, which are often used to manufacture rather expensive graphics cards and mainboards, which automatically makes such memory devices pretty expensive. In mid-February this year Corsair Memory also joined the 2GHz club with its new Dominator-series memory modules. Back last year very few platforms could actually handle 2.0GHz memory speed and hardly all end-users who acquired such memory modules could actually make them work at their frequency. However, as Intel X48 and Nvidia nForce 790i SLI chipsets are approaching the market, it is expected that considerably more enthusiast-class platforms will be able to boast with 2.0GHz memory clock-speed. Currently unannounced Kingston HyperX PC3-16000 (KHX16000D2K2/2G) memory modules will be available in Q1 2008. Source HERE I found this very interesting finally getting past the 2ghz plateau. With chipsets now approaching and going over this speed it should make for some interesting software and gaming titles that will use this speed to its advantage.
  10. The plan was never to distribute this cash to the Artists. The cash is needed to finance this trickle of lawsuits. Lawyers are expensive and even tho I'm sure a good percentage of them are on retaining, most of them are doing profit sharing. Like the ones over at https://www.p2plawsuits.com This is not actually the RIAA, this is a little law office that the riaa has hired to try to rip off students with the fear of being sued. If you pay us using your master card and visa we'll go away. It's nice to see that he mob had joined the digital age and you no longer have to pay them in cash. The RIAA wants this lawsuit scam to be self financing if they suddenly have to start actually sending the moneys collected off to the Artists, who they claim to be collecting for, there house of cards they have built goes collapsing to the ground. Because then every complaint they try to file cost them real cash and no longer can be financed from the collections pool.
  11. Ya Anime in DVD9 at 5 to 6 DVDs a pop can take up some bandwith.
  12. Anime for my neice. She is a big fan like me and most things anime you cannot get in the USA.
  13. Ya suppose to unlimited access to Newsgroups but since I exceeded 15 gbs a day for the last month I have no more. And when asked when I would have access I was told did not know.
  14. Well here they are suppose to offer unlimited and yet they cap crap. I even have been capped from RR. Hell I can't access newsgroups anymore from RR. I pay for unlimited and that is what I expect. I would go to another but hell no RR has rights to my area and no others can even come in.
  15. Well that is good for you but I have many friends that can't get torrents to finish from Comcast. They are evil and will rape connections till there is a fair enterprise for internet connections in the USA.
  16. What is the real Barnito? If so Pm me man got a lot to catch up on.
  17. There are reports of 2 other companies trying to buy them out as well. Though I could not find out who they where.
  18. I still say where is the emulators. Lets host some and lets have some contests as well. Give stuff away. Hell I will even contribute to the give aways.
  19. Another good movie that I have watched before but just watched again in HD. The Hand That Rocks The Cradle first released in 1992 Rebecca De Mornay and Ernie Hudson though not the starring actors at the time make this picture. Rebecca plays the evil nanny to a tee and ernie plays the retard to perfection.
  20. Well guess you never used bittorrent when comcast was blocking but saying they wasn't cause they was. I got friends that can tell ya a story or 2 about it.
  21. Problem is you try to filter porn and you block things like some young girl trying to do a book report on cancer of the breasts cause she can't see the results of the search engine. No software can filter porn to the extent to be effective. This would have to be done by hiring people just to watch the traffic of users and no ISP should have that power or use it to filter what you see on the internet.
