I'm pretty sure DX is the model with coprocessor. The SX were the crippled chips that didn't have coprocessor.

I agree with you. It was the first time I purchased music online. It was a worthy cause and best 99p I spent this year probably. And song isn't bad either.

It seems an excellent feature and hopefully others will follow with adding it to their OS's. Having things like expose is great when you managing windows but it would really help just having windows you are working with grouped and easy to see. My hope is they implement an easy drag and drop group and maybe preset and restore group options so you don't need to create the group each time from scratch.

Actually you can get free WiFi at Starbucks if you get one of their prepaid cards and register it. Some places have free WiFi too but BTOpenzone and Cloud (most common) are not free.

US Air Force Buying Another 2,200 PS3s 144

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday November 25, 2009 @05:02AM from the quick-who-knows-a-good-ps3-flight-sim dept.

bleedingpegasus sends word that the US Air Force will be grabbing up 2,200 new PlayStation 3 consoles for research into supercomputing. They already have a cluster made from 336 of the old-style (non-Slim) consoles, which they've used for a variety of purposes, including "processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and 'neuromorphic computing.'" According to the Justification Review Document (DOC), "Once the hardware configuration is implemented, software code will be developed in-house for cluster implementation utilizing a Linux-based operating software."

I agree, Englightment was always a little bit different from the rest of the Window Managers. I would love to see more active development of it.

One of the people involved with the project is Ronald D. Moore was one of the writers for DS9 and there are a lot of top episodes to his name. He also did Battlestar Galactica old and new. I personally welcome the news that Paramount haven't forgetten about Star Trek and actually decided to put it in capable handles of JJ Abrams and his possy. :) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601822/filmoseries#tt0 106145
