Is Hyperchip Hype?
Peter Galbraith writes "There was an interview on CBC (here in Canada) last evening about
Hyperchip, a Montreal-based
company that are working on a new type of router that would scale up 1000 times in traffic (so wouldn't be obsolete in less than a year) and would pass packets to their destination in a few hops instead of a dozen or more. Any experts out there think it's hype? Or real?"
The explanation on Hyperchip's "technology" page is pretty thin, but considering they just raised $70 million, I hope they've given more convincing details to their investors.
hey I'm an engineering. we've figured out lots of things 1. Beer 2. Sleeping with your eyes open in class 3. Nursing Students
I don't have to say anything. Your borderline illiteracy seems to indicate a US citizenship and, in such a case, one of your "free" fellow citizens will stumble along and shoot you before too long anyway. Hopefully he can squint through a haze of crap American beer well enough to get you between the eyes (aiming just south of the NASCAR logo on your hat should be almost perfect).
As usual all of you goatfuckers try to "share your opinions" without a bit of knowledge or logic or consistency. Although I don't care a bit, I'm pretty much happy to spit you the truth in the face today :
[I work there, so I know what I'm talking about]
=>It's not only hype, it's real.
=>If it had been only hype, then we would have had some sort of mascot like Badadoum turning around making fouls of us big time. We don't. We only have the running man as logo and although it's debatably ugly, you can't say it's close enough to qualify.
=>Any moron can steal millions from the government. So it's not sign of seriousness either.
=>The name of our product is the PBR-1280, which is close enough to names of 50's sci-fi shows rockets to qualify as a non-hype product.
=>Most of employees are francophones, Quebec-native, so I guess it's no disqualification criterion. BTW, it's written on the website -- look at the reasons why they have moved in Montreal.
All of what I've told above is available through public channels in case you haven't already noticed. Five-minutes-searches and common sense would have been more than enough to find out. Yet it's no wonder it contradicts 99% of posts on the topic since you're all geeky morons with no life and a boosted ego trying to look important sexy and interesting. Go outside of your caves and have a life instead of loosing your time posting on Slashdot.
Building it is one thing. Making it run efficiently is something else altogether. Perhaps that takes a class of people even smarter than the builders?
