'SLI On A Stick' Reviewed 188

Posted by Hemos on Monday June 05, 2006 @10:11AM from the that's-one-hot-stick dept.

Bender writes "What would happen if you took NVIDIA's multi-GPU teaming capability, SLI, and stuck it onto a single graphics card? Probably something like the GeForce 7950 GX2, a 'single' video card with dual printed circuit boards, dual graphics processors, dual 512MB memory banks, and nearly twice the performance of any other 'single' video card. Add two of these to a system, and you've got the truly extreme possibility of Quad SLI. We've seen early versions of these things benchmarked before, but the latest revision of this card is smaller, draws less power than a single-GPU Radeon X1900 XTX, and is now selling to the public."

AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information 274

Posted by Zonk on Friday May 26, 2006 @06:43PM from the that's-a-big-oops dept.

op12 writes "CNET has an article describing how AT&T accidentally leaked sensitive information involving the NSA lawsuit. From the article: 'AT&T's attorneys this week filed a 25-page legal brief striped with thick black lines that were intended to obscure portions of three pages and render them unreadable. But the obscured text nevertheless can be copied and pasted inside some PDF readers, including Preview under Apple's OS X and the xpdf utility used with X11. The deleted portions of the legal brief seek to offer benign reasons why AT&T would allegedly have a secret room at its downtown San Francisco switching center that would be designed to monitor Internet and telephone traffic. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which filed the class action lawsuit in January, alleges that room is used by an unlawful National Security Agency surveillance program.""

You're kidding right?

I work for a certain chip company too, and I know that we spent over $500 million on the R&D for a single new chip architecture. There's thousands of man-years involved in bew chip design and architecture, and these 'gouged' margins you speak of are the only way to recoup that cost.

Yes it is quite obvious you're not an accountant, no need to actually state that.
