• DVD+RW DLA

  I've been looking around for a piece of free software that allows me to burn folders/files to DVD for backup purposes - simular to WriteDVD.  IBM appears to offer DLA, but only for IBM machines.  Windows XP only comes with CD DLA.  Longhorn looks like it will offer the functionality I am looking for, but the build I have (PDC 2003) fails as soon as I try to burn the files/folders.  Anyone know of some free software that I could use?

• Cell Processor - Will it run Windows?

  The BBC has an article about Playstation 3 and the Cell processor.  Given that IBM is part of the development team, Linux is more than likely going run on the Cell, but will Windows? Update:  Another article on Window and the Cell processor. Posted Feb 08 2005, 08:52 PM by mdavey with 2 comment(s)
