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."

    We could just round up all the sub-human niggers and slants, along with the sand niggers and niggers with dots on their heads and put them in huge treadmills to produce our electricity. Get rid of all the diesel powered tractors and big trucks, and hook them monkeys into harnesses and have them pull the plows and trailers. Plus keep them in pens, they don't need lights or TVs and radios. And we'd save tons on prisons. Plus we would get rid of welfare. Just feed them, breed them and when they get old, sick or hurt, shoot them. Make the world a better place, enslave a negro today.
