ARM Designer Steve Furber On Energy-Efficient Computing

ChelleChelle writes "By now, it has become evident that we are facing an energy problem — while our primary sources of energy are running out, the demand for energy is greatly increasing. In the face of this issue, energy-efficient computing has become a hot topic. For those looking for lessons, who better to ask then Steve Furber, the principal designer of the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine), a prime example of a chip that is simple, low power, and low cost. In this interview, conducted by David Brown of Sun's Solaris Engineering Group, Furber shares some of the lessons and tips on energy-efficient computing that he has learned through working on this and subsequent projects."

    Fact for you,they are light skinned niggers. They do not look like me or my people. They do not talk like me or my people. And therefore they are animals to be killed or domesticated as I see fit. Of course you have been conditioned to hate yourself and your white skin, taught by a evil education system and ignorant tools to believe that to seek domination over the monkeys is somehow wrong or morally evil. And the lands could be turned back to a mostly natural state, free from the hordes of sub-humans masquerading as real humans. The impact from drilling and mining would be minimal compared to the damage the apes are doing today by just being there. I say kill them all because the vast majority are too stupid to be good slaves. And bio-weapons, a few nukes against major structural targets like damns, cities and power plants, and then mopping up for a few years as the apes quickly devolved back to their natural state devoid of the artificial veneer of civilization we have given them. Within ten years of the start, we would able to book safaris over there and hunt the few remnants as sport.And we, as true humans, would be set for the advancement of our race without the baggage of stupid animals holding us back by false and evil ideas of equality.
