Moore's Law Original Issue Found
Daemon writes "BBC News reports that a copy of the original issue of Electronics magazine in which Moore's Law was first published has been found under the floorboards of a Surrey engineer's home. David Clark had kept copies of the magazine for years, despite pleas from his wife to throw them away." Intel, it seems, has its bounty fulfilled.
THATS why I never throw anything away!
One day its going to pay off big!

was probably worth more than the money, by a long shot.
playboy did something similiar, I'd be all set.
On a slightly related topic... He said he's using the $10k to pay for his daughters weddings. I want to know where they are getting married and how I can afford a wedding for 5k or less :)
one flight for two from UK to Las Vegas: $1600
two disposable cameras with processing: $30
two bottles of champagne: $200
shotgun wedding from Elvis with the works: $350
pocketing the leftover money to spend on geek toys: priceless

Me: That stash of magazines under my bed... It's not what it looks like!
Dad: Well, I hope not. Because it looks like you're masturbating to a 35-year old copy of Electronics magazine!

I have Hardcore Pornstars issue 1 (Willamette on cover, Jan. 1970) in pristine condition and in its original shrinkwrap. I thought you might be interested.
Wait -- you said "dual core processors," not "Hardcore Pornstars." Nevermind.

Who the hell keeps their old trade mags under the floor boards? Isn't that where the porn goes?

Clearly, you underestimate the eroticism of a good circuit diagram.
for the life of me i have no idea what intel wants to do with it
They're going to collect all copies in existence and burn them, so that when Moore's Law is proved wrong, they'll claim it was just a stupid rumor, like Bill's "640K" quote.

"Honey, why do you keep all that old junk?"
"... I keep you, don't I?"
Fry: "Whoah, whoah, wait, Bender. As long as we're here, why don't we take in some exotic dancing?"
Leela: "Hey, great idea!"
Bender: *gasp* "But those girls don't wear cases! You can see their bare circuits!"
95% of the industry today tends to use MicroSoft Wedding 2005, however, and last I checked, the Home version was around $5K. As recently seen on Slashdot, they recently pulled their Homo version, though -- I dunno which one you might be needing.
While many argue that the GFWL is more flexible and robust than MS Wedding (such as compatibility with gdivorce and gabortion and the equivalent open standards), many girls actually tend to like the lock-in of MS Wedding. That is often the largest setback many men see, but they are often happy to get a license at all -- especially those on Slashdot.
