guys got to take a tour inside the Dane-Elec memory factory in Ireland and have posted a pictorial tour of their trip. " They give a nice tour with lots of decent photos of the process that the comany goes through to package up chips. Fascinating stuff.
from the article:
:^p
Old 486 machines, laptops and dual CPU servers are sometimes running Quake III for days and days. All this to be sure that things don't crash due to a faulty memory module.
Do they have job openings?
DNA is the ultimate spaghetti code.
They got the whole factory to run off peat! Very good for the environment; not to mention the last sunday of each month when they burn the âoespecial mossâ and get the bulk of England high.
This isn't funny at all. Tweaker usually refers to someone on speed or methamphetamines. It's someone that involuntarily twitches and acts 'tweaked out'. Heroin users on the other hand tend to be more calm. The exact opposite of a tweaker. Maybe sleepers.net promotes heroin.
tweakers.net routinely handles about one million hits a day, go check their Statistics page, or check out some pictures of their servers and server room.
Ofcourse the text is in Dutch, but I think you can read stats and view pictures in Dutch right :)
Every expression is true, for a given value of 'true'
This artical is funny I worked for IBM in the DRAM final Test and we had 40 2.5 million dollar Teradyne Testers to test the chips and this company uses old 486s and Computers running Quake 3. No wonder why we at IBM got out of DRAM.
