Intel Looks to Billion-Transistor Processors

Weedstock writes: "EE Times has an article about Intel's next decade roadmap. It explains what are the current issues with the actual "plastic bumped organic land grid array" packaging technology and how it will be modified into a "bumpless package with built-up layers" to accomodate billion-transistor processors."

    Back in 1992-1993 we were shooting on the set of Sodomy Street, a take on the hit children's show.

    I won't reveal their real names, but the stars were "Hemos" and "CmdrTaco." Both were a rarity in the realm of gay porn stars because they were GENUINELY homosexual, instead of just pretenders.

    In fact, CmdrTaco used to butt fuck so many grips and fans that he could barely get it up for the shoots. That was OK, because Hemos was usually pitching.

    Both would prep for the shoots my mutually masturbating each other in front of Mr. Belvedere tapes. They would freeze frame a scene where Belvedere bends over to put something in the oven.

    Anyway, these guys were total freaks. We'd run out of film and CmdrTaco would still have his tongue buried in the rectum of a cooing Hemos.

    Then one day, Hemos forgot to cover his lube when we were doing a beach shot. Sand must have gotten in and the police ran to the set when they heard CmdrTaco's screams. We couldn't get Hemos to stop. Apparently, he had spent some time in prison and liked man rape.

    Fortunately, the police beat both of them nearly to death. CmdrTaco was institutionalized following the incident and about six months of rectum reconstruction surgery. To this day he wears a colostomy bag, to which he has attached a straw to drink his "man milkshake."

    Since CmdrTaco wears a straight jacket, orderlies in the institution inform me that he types his messages using his nose on a rec room computer.

    It seems as though slashcode has some serious security flaws that slashdot editors and developers are trying to cover up. If you follow that link, you will notice a developer urging all slashcode users to download the latest version of their perl mess we call slashcode. What the developers are not telling us is why this latest version is 'strongly recommended'. Notice how 'pudge' ignores all questions regarding the reason for the recommended upgrade.

    I find it odd that Malda and the rest of the crew here look down upon Microsoft for using security through obscurity in their services. Now /. is using it to cover up theirs!!

      Or maybe it's just becuase it fixes some basic problem? Just becuase they "urge" an upgrade and don't say why (though that would be nice), and don't specifically reply that it's a security problem, doesn't mean it is a security problem.

      Just because they don't say anything about security means they are going the MS route of security through obscurity. Remember, the holes found in MS's software is found by 3rd parties, documented, and THEN MS denies it, doesn't patch it for days/weeks, or calls it a feature.

      Do you have any evidence what-so-ever that this upgrade has anything to do with security issues? No? Then shut the fuck up, troll.
