U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett and Mayor Will Wynn will announce Thursday morning that the Intel Corp. building will be the site of a new federal courthouse, according to sources close to the deal.

Capping months of negotiations, federal and city officials announced the plans Thursday in Republic Park, in the shadow of the half-finished skeleton Intel had hoped would one day be a chip design center with as many as 1,000 employees.
The Advanced Networking Pack for Windows XP, which is available Thursday as a stand-alone update and will be folded into the Windows XP Service Pack 2 later this year, incorporates the necessary plumbing to enable applications that exploit P2P functionality--realtime communications and collaboration apps, for example, Microsoft executives said on Wednesday.Click here for story.On Thursday, the company disclosed updated names for its forthcoming Real-time Communications Server and Web conferencing technology: Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2003, formerly PlaceWare Conference Center, and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003, respectively.
Microsoft would not elaborate on how the collaboration services will leverage P2P technology, but one company executive said that Microsoft's P2P team has worked closely with the Real-time Communications Server team for some time.
The American Teleservices Association, an industry group that sued the FTC in January to stop the list, asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to reject new regulations set by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC added its authority to the list to close regulatory loopholes and block calls from certain industries, including airlines, banks and telephone companies.Click here at CNN.
Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition is the most comprehensive, versatile CD- and DVD-mastering and packet- writing suite on the market today. In fact, calling it a disc-authoring app is a disservice, because the suite also offers a very capable backup program, a DVD-authoring app that compares favorably with all but its pro-level competitors, and even a VCD/DVD movie playback program that includes support for MPEG-4 (the compression scheme that gives you near-DVD quality on a CD). Toss in a slick, completely configurable launch applet, numerous helpful utilities, and a responsive bug-fix policy, and you get a hands-down Editors Choice. In fact, Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition would have been a landslide winner if it were not for a few minor bugs in our prerelease version and some quibbles with the interface in some apps. Still, if youve been thinking about Easy CD Creator, think Nero instead.Download Nero 6.0.0.9
Microsoft's Xbox Live online gaming service has just acquired a customer that knows something about strategy and tactics--the US Department of Defense. The US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) have paid $200,000 to outfit 14 bases around the continent with 17 Xbox Live gaming centers, as a way of giving young airmen in the region something to do in their downtime, according to the official US military publication Stars and Stripes. When off duty, they will be able to hone their military skills with such multiplayer games as Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War and Tom Clancy's Splinter CellLink to Gamespot's report Here
Read the report from PCWatch hereFalling to there, those where it boils, are thermal problem of the Prescott. Electric power consumption of the Prescott, being higher than Intel itself expectation substantially was ascertained. Somehow, the TDP of the Prescott (the Thermal Design Power: Thermal design electric power consumption), it exceeds the mark of the 100W finally at frequency of the 3.6gHz, it seems. Because expectation of the Intel of beginning was the 89w, it means that as many as 15% increased at a stroke.
Because of that, the Intel has begun the specification modification of the Prescott corresponding motherboard. As a result, even with the present Intel 875/865 motherboard which is assumed it can correspond to also the Prescott, the case which it cannot correspond to the Prescott coming out, you rival, is. As for being more painful, with the note PC which loads the Mobile Prescott which appears in the next year head, considerable influence probably will put out, is.
With being the case that it is said, in the circumstance where two elements are fixed, one parameter changed. So when it does, if one parameter which naturally, remains is not changed, it does not consist. In other words, amount and the Tcase where the TDP rose were pulled up. As for the Tcase of the Prescott of the time before those where they are 69 degrees C, with 1.5 have reached 74 degrees C. Actually Tcase rise ratio is smaller than ratio of TDP rise, but that is thought is, because the FMB1 room was seen. That this measure influences it is thought it is yield rate and the like of the Prescott. In other words, the development whose are inconvenient for the Intel it is reason
Take a look at the planned output of the chips:
