Actually that's not true. The WindowsXP RC has the bootcfg command, with Win2k's doesn't. That's of little or no consequence in this discussion, but a case in point. The fact is, this is a stupid security hole. Of course, we all know that if someone has physical access and is determined...

You're kidding, right? I could just boot to the Win2k repair console, pick a WinXP install, enter no password, and then have administrator rights? "Whoops!" might be an understatement....

volts*amps=watts (in a rough sense) If you pull about the same number of amps with less voltage, you use less power. There are some other advantages to lower-voltage electronics which lead to power savings.

That's because they intended to to put the real, expensive equipment inside, but made such changes to design that, yes, it was not cost effective to make it space-worthy.

It was meant to go into space, but never did. Even if you feel the need to prefix it with "prototype," Enterprise is a space shuttle.

No, no. Enterprise was the original space shuttle. They used it for suborbital test flights. However, they made so many design changes, it was impossible to economically retrofit Enterprise to be able to fly in space. This is why Columbia was designated OV-102.

The Soyuz is very reliable for what it does -- allow people to ride missiles into space and then fall back to Earth, into the steppes of central Asia. The space shuttle, on the other hand, allows more than twice as many people and a large payload to ride two large fire-crackers into space, do...

I doubt that they diverted engineers. Like ATi, I'm sure that they've added a large number of engineers (both hardware and software) all around. These companies no longer develop one product at a time; there are bound to be at least three different GPUs in development right now.

Like I've said, hard drives are starting to be a lot like video cards.

I'm already tired of the media converage of this. It's not as if the United States wasn't about to go to war in Iraq, the president had submited his budget, and South Korea is preparing to make an atomic bomb, or anything. This is tragic, yes. I'm interested in it, yes. I don't need to see...
