Clockless Computing
ender81b writes "Scientific American is carrying a nice article on asynchronous chips. In general, the article advocates that eventually all computer systems will have to move to an asynchronous design. The article focuses on Sun's efforts but gives a nice overview of the general concept of asynchronous chip design." We had another story about this last year.
This is true.
Being the mighty Klerck, I claim this post. Taco can snot himself!

That is all.
My clock is gone.
I revoked my Social Security Trust...6 weeks and $17.
I revoked my Taxpayer Identification Number...4 weeks and $15.
I filed UCC-1, UCC-2, and UCC-3...7 weeks each and $13.
My "STRAW MAN" now belongs to me and am a Sovereign and 0wn my stock...6 months and $3,000 later.
Stomping every United States employee (police) and Britain employee (judge)...priceless.
You see, there are some things that us Sovereigns enjoy more than Asyncronous computing. bbye
Only one of nineteen posts make the cut.
The usual /. content: AC diarrhea, a la carte...

I'm on PJ's "enemies" list! Are you?
(Un)Scientific (Un)American Magazine is a liberal, socialist, communist piece of shit rag.
sorry, klerk, you are not the real Klerck
My eyes just crossed through the words without really reading. Then my brain started puzzling itself about why were people taking their macho feelings about their hardware so far as to have a company explicitly launching a "Cockless" computer.
ATTN: MODERATORS
This poster is a KARMA WHORE!!
The link the poster provided is the EXACT same link provided by michael in his posting of this story.
Please kill off this thread quickly and promptly by tossing nothing but Redundant mods. Or use Overrated and get away with not having to be subjected to Metamod.
Wasn't that a justified question? Why was it moderated as being a troll?
I'd rather be sailing...
How that comment managed to get by w/o getting modded down is beyond me.
-- Scientist: You aren't going to leave me here, are you? Boagh! Thump...

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
Not only is this link stolen directly from the lead text by Michael. This KARMA WHORE didn't even bother making i a link as in the lead.

It seems that the Janitors, in their infinite wisdom, have banned people who have low/negative karma from posting more than twice per day. Personally I find this completely stupid.
All the trolls will simply post AC as I am doing now. Proxies can be used to get around any ipid bans that result from AC trolls.
Surely it is better to let the trolls post at -1 where it is out of most peoples way rather than have them all post at 0 and suck up mod points and time from "legit" users?
I have tried to communicate my thoughts to the slashcode team but alas, to no avail. They are probably all sittin on their starwars bed sheets watching anime hentai tentacle rape pr0n.
Here is my proposal: All trolls that cannot post using their account post as AC. Use proxies if need be (www.antiproxy.com is a good source). I suspect this will show them how useless this idea is. Will blocking troll uid's stop trolls? NO! will ipid bans stop trolls? NO!
I seriously fail to see the point of this and consider it a stupid move by the janitors.
They want us to troll and crapflood at 0 rather than -1? Fine! So be it! No longer will we post at -1 where few people dare to visit, now we will post at 0 where we will be more visible and waste peoples time, energy and mod points! Hoorah!
The next thing you know, posting AC will be banned! Then what will you do? No more posting interesting insider tidbits! Groupthink all the way baby! oh yeah!
So logout, post shit, use proxies and above all have fun!

I don't post much so my Karma is fairly hard won but I'm going to troll anyway.
There is so much stupid shit being said in response to this article that I have to offer some advice to those without a clue:
1) For God's sake go learn a language (like C/C++ or assembly) where you can do some real damage. I'm conviced nobody truely "gets" software until they've spent three sleepless nights in a row tracking down a fandango on core.
2) Really grok a language that changes your way of thinking -- Haskell is a pretty good bet.
3) Dig up old hardware take it apart, put it back together. Get it to work again.
4) Use a hardware assisted debugger or in circuit emulator.
5) Go build and a small 8051 embedded system project just for fun but make sure you include an LCD display in the project -- and not just one of the easy serial type.
6) Buy a cheap scope -- Before you go insane from step 5.
7) Learn what happens under to the covers.
8) Say "Fuck the Wizard and the IDE you rode in on too."
9) Learn VHDL and digital design just for the heck of it These folks have everything you need.
If you've done this, you've learned a lot. But after all that, think about the things you still don't know. Marvell at your stupidity -- admit it openly. Be humbled. You will be a better person for it.
In short, don't become just another button pushing pinhead. You don't have to live that way.
Oh, and if you're one of the few that have taken the time and effort to become aware of how much you don't know, thank you. You are a credit to the profession.
You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake -- but you could be if you got off your ass.
