The Mystery of Cell Processors
LucidBeast writes "Consumer appliances requiring more computing power Sony, IBM and Toshiba started 2001 developing "Cell"-processor that comprises of multiple processor cores and should give performance ten times of conventional processors. Now the CNN Money reports that details of the processor will be released Feb. 6-10 at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco. Also reported by EE Times. Rumors also tell that Sonys PS3 development platform has already been shipped to some developers equipped with the cell processor."
Why arent we hearing about it?
they have a nice logo now saying:
"SCO: We own all your code, pay us all your money".

I didn't know Apu had children. I thought the QuikiMart was his entire life.
I'm not worried, soon MS will make a Sayian processor and there will be a huge battle (with like 3 hour pauses inthe action) but eventually the Gohan processor will go super on the cell processor adn kick the shit out of it.
X-BOX II not with super sayian action.
Yes, I am a 29 year old man who still watches DBZ.
Here's a patent app on a nonbinary processor.
It sounds revolutionary. And judging by the parent company's stock performance, I'd say that there's a pretty good chance that someone will be commercializing it soon. Especially since the company is teetering on the edge of solvency.

Yesterday, I saw the most useless application of microprocessor technology ever IMO.
In my local cookware store, there was a gadget that told you 'precisely' when to flip burgers and steaks as you were grilling them, according to your preference (rare, medium-rare, well-done etc.).
It looked just like the regular stainless steel utensil one normally uses for the job but had a big bulgy plastic handle containing an LCD display, some little buttons and the necessary electronic gubbins.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry that someone had actually sat down and invented this stupid thing.
It will probably spend more time in warehouses and dusty store shelves than in practical use. Then after a few months, will spend an eternity in a landfill.
They didn't look like they were flying off the shelves either.

T1000 was the liquid melty terminator. He needed to either be frozen with liquid nitrogen or melted in a vat of molten steel.

Goddamnit, kids ought to realize that copying Yoda's grammer still doesn't give them force powers.
And that little green bugger is overrated anyways.
Nothing to worry about. It's reporting on your actions, but the agency it reports on doesn't exist. We've always been at war with Eurasia.
Please correct me if I got my facts wrong.
I thought Slashdot had editors that spoke English as a first language?
I mean programar... programer... well anyways I write code.
