I hadn't thought about your very good point. Even if that's the case, there's still no reason to require a phone number change. The existing number could be ported into the new CO (local number portability).

If the original poster explained the situation to a supervisor, any extra fees could probably be waived.

holden karau writes: "Gigahertz are out and cores are in. Now more than ever, programmers must begin to develop applications that takes advantage of increasing number of cores present in computers today. However, up until now, multi-threaded development has not been easy. Researcher Stefanus Du Toit discusses and demonstrates a software system (RapidMind) he co-authored that takes the pain away from multi-threaded programming in C++. For his demo, he created a program on the PlayStation 3, consisting of thousands of chickens, each independently processed by a single processing core. The talk itself is interesting, but the demo is golden."

They also have a large format printer (51") that prints 6" to 1 foot per second. Products are expected to start shipping in late 2007."

Submission + - Server power consumption doubled over past 5 years

Submitted by Watt's up on Friday February 16, 2007 @02:05PM

Watt's up writes: A new study shows an alarming increase in server power consumption over the past five years. In the US, servers (including cooling equipment) consumes 1.2% of all the electricity in 2005, up from 0.6% in 2000. The trend is the similar worldwide. 'If current trends continue, server electricity usage will jump 40 percent by 2010, driven in part by the rise of cheap blade servers, which increase overall power use faster than larger ones. Virtualization and consolidation of servers will work against this trend, though, and it's difficult to predict what will happen as data centers increasingly standardize on power-efficient chips.
