How Motherboards Are Made

Posted by Zonk on from the no-elves-involved dept.

Techno-consumerist writes "Ever wonder how motherboards are made? How all those little electronic bits and pieces are put in place, and how each board is tested? PCstats takes a look behind the scenes of the Nan-Ping Gigabyte factory in Taiwan, and documents the amazingly complicated process from start to finish. Very cool, but surprising about how much labour goes into each board."

    mean they'd be no dupe? Or is it like modern computer architectures being multiway both via multicore and multichip at the same time? (Or is it only me loading all story links in new background tabs first?)

  6. Chinese Women are Hot - Not! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Chinese women have far lower (dareIsay zero) interest in sex than women in other cultures. The myth of the Dragon Lady is very much myth. While Chinese women are pretty, don't mistake that beauty for sexuality or passion. If you want to gain their attention then carry a big wallet. They'll put up with you as long as your wallet is full and it is in this respect that they are identical to most Western women. It is in the passionate sense that they lack any heat whatsoever, and so differ from women in other cultures. Correspondences and chronicles of the British, who occupied Hong Kong for so long and became intimately familiar with Chinese culture, note the lack of heat (for both British men and Chinese men) in Chinese women.

    There's absolute zero chance of dating or marrying a Chinese woman within their culture - the society will not accept you. Never! I repeat, never! Even if you speak their language fluently and understand their culture completely. Were you to sacrifice your life to save your half-Chinese family, you would still be regarded as a foreign idiot who foolishly got himself killed. I repeat: there is no acceptance of foreigners in China.

    To the Chinese, non-Chinese are untrustworthy barbarians at best (well, OK, sometimes Chinese men will trust an Australian fellow provided he is drunk!).

    OTOH if you are willing to marry a Chinese girl and bring her to the U.S. or Europe, where she will have a better life, you can find marriage and children (but probably not love and certainly not passion). But in this case you will find that you have married an entire family (cousins, nephews and uncles included), not just one woman. Your new bride will immediately begin planning how to bring here family over one at a time to live with you. So while the initial cost of a Chinese wife is deceptively low, the long-term cost is very high and it cannot be recommended.

    On the other hand, in this regard, should you find yourself bored, living an aimless and empty existence with a steady job and bright work future, but see no hope of a wife or children, then you will find that a Chinese bride can completely fill the remainder of your life with financial, family and social activity. You will be very, very busy and need do no planning for yourself. In that case a Chinese bride is your solution.

    None of the above applies to Chinese or Asian women who are living in other cultures (e.g., living in the U.S., Europe, South America). These are usually the most intelligent, daring, and adventuresome of Asian women.

    For love, romance, passion and heat you'd best turn to another continent: French women are highly recommended. The culture is Western and so differences are minimized. And the Brits and the French have been fighting and making up for centures; historical recreation is highly recommended.

    Everything asian is just over rated. And since they're genetically inferior (Hello, the world mongoloid?! mongolia?! mongoloid?! MONGOLIA?!?!?! clearly inferior), they simply can not translate their simplistic, inferior language to the complex, elegant, chaotic beauty that is english. It's fairly simple.
