Sun took out a patent for this about five years ago, as I vaguely recall (it was about five years ago) that basically described a prototype with... multiple cores on a single die, with a system memory like element for each chip, also on the same die. Obviously they were looking at it from the server market down to the PC market kind of angle.
They said it wouldn't be in production for... about five years... as I recall (vaguely)
In fact if your Microsoft mouse or keyboard stop working, its probably because Outlook has just locked up your dual core system while it syncs with exchange.
Clearly wasn't writen by someone in Tokyo then... (^-^)
It's a shame the results aren't credible. If you could demonstrate that a basement carpark in a big assed shopping centre only needed a fire isolated stair every 60m rather than every 40m then that could save millions. Oh wait they did (under particular conditions).
Anyway, These things have been around for a while. The main thing is that they've needed someone with a phD in computational fluid dynamics to drive them on a box that costs a wee bit too.
I think there might be an engineering joke. I'd call the electrical tape on the FRONT of a MARKETING display the engineering solution. The MARKETING display showing a presentation that people spent HUNDREDS, perhaps THOUSANDS of hours polishing to a high gloss selling products that took goodness knows how long to produce.
Perhaps I'm foolish for not thinking of all the time effort and money they could have saved if they'd just done a powerpoint slideshow.
We just need to get the boffins to work on how much space junk we need to put in orbit to balance the effects of all the CO2 we're pumping out With the side effect of taking away sports coverage from regional areas... oh. cough.
I'll preface this with the statement that the USA's satelite system is just wonderful. USA rocks... (^-^)...yay! etc... being your ally & all.
There has been a great deal of discussion in Australia as to how much we'll need to care, this time America hits a recession, given our enormous growth in trade with China. Around when the USA sub-prime loan thing first came up, BHP (steel, etc...) shares dipped. Front page of the Financial Review: The old addage "If BHP shares drop 10%, buy" rings true again. When BHPs clients (China) were asked about the problem they apparently responded with something approximating "what problem, Oh that, meh." BHP shares popped back up.
That said, the general gist has, however, been that, if the US economy tanks, then the impact on Australia will be a much smaller reflection as a result of reduced goods sales from China to the USA.
If you were to sanction China, could I suggest some commodities for your consideration? I'm sure that'd really hurt them bad.
Given the regional nature of DRM in DVDs, it would be interesting to see if they produce regional watermarks to enforce regional price fixing... cough...I mean regional copyright licensing agreements. A per vendor watermark?
So it would be reasonable to withhold any form of IP protection from DRM content. The right to get a return on your investment in creating a work is granted in exchange for it's eventual contribution to society at large...
The RIAA's re-definition of copyright is tied VERY closely to DRM issues. DRM is perhaps one of the most substantial blocks to an open source operating system claiming dominance (at least within the USA) during the transition to 64bit ubiquity, if you think ESR's commentary is valid.
If you wanted to develop a strong body of case law with regard to their interpretation of what constitutes fair use, illegal copying and abuse of your customers rights, could you think of a better way to be selected to defend your position in any and every case going? They are offering expert testimony, not a defence.
You raise software patent issues. An excellent example of something unassailable in areas easily understood by grey haired judges (you can't patent written work, that's what copyright is for, it would be a ridiculous, counter productive, dysfunctional abomination) that suddenly becomes special once it's digitised (programs are like gizmoes, & I can't read & understand Perl, therefore lets hand out patents for these gizmoes in a black box with no explanation of it's method of fabrication...)
but the 64bit drivers for the solid state disk will make it work at the speed of a USB stick until you install the manufacturer's drivers, until once a month (probably on a Tuesday:-), it'll go back to working like a USB stick.
As opposed to the USA who basically single handedly invented traditional industrial espionage? At least Japanese don't advertise that they've invented something, & file patents & copyright when they've simply introduced it to their own country. This attitude really shits me. You have no idea how typical/hypocritical it sounds.
I knew a guy who left his wallet on the seat of the Yamanote-sen, THE loop around central Tokyo with a train in both directions about every 90sec packed solid during rush hour. He went back to the station & waited on the platform at the same door (they always stop at the same spot on the platform) and sure enough that train came back around & his wallet was still on the seat, with a full complement of contents. I think a big part of it was that there were enough people to watch it for him......clearly nobody was even game to carry it to an office. Japan has a long history of peer observation as a control mechanism.
I've personally worked in two Japanese companies, in Japan. One massive, monolithic and very conservative, the other a young upstart with incompetent management. In both cases, accountability, or the avoidance thereof was all.
In the big one, any proposal/request had to be stamped by a long LONG line of people before it could be approved, so that if anything went wrong the blame was distributed. If there was no form in existence to suitably acquire said distributed blame, it was 'difficult' (= impossible / forbidden / no)
In the other, they implemented a locked down linux across all workstations after a disgruntled former employee erased their main server. They also switched their server from Windows 2000 (it was a while ago) to Solaris. This was a company where having a shiny piece of paper that said you weren't to blame wouldn't make a lick of difference if the CEO was smacking you about the head.
In the first kind of company, nobody will ever get fired for opting for the Microsoft option. Microsoft is an infinitely appropriate designated recipient of blame. If your OpenBSD server gets owned, who do you point at?
"This particular tactic" was used to provoke Japan into attacking Pearl Harbour. They were juicing sacred trees for jet fuel by the time the bombers were in range.
Google are among a very few groups who consistently manage to place well targeted adds in front of me. Sometimes the degree to which they are successfully targeted gets a little scary...
One of the others is IBM. They really are very good at it. They suddenly made a MASSIVE improvement from my perspective about six months after Steve Jobs declared PowerPC dead. IBM went from silent antiquated zero to cutting edge reliable voice of reason. Would anyone care to compare dates?
I think what this is saying is more like: "This has really been working for us. If you aren't selling us advertising like this, you can stop wasting everyone's time"
The Internet isn't just your country. There are these 'other countries' around the map at the front of your classroom. Get in a car (or ask your mum) & drive North until someone asks for your passport. After that, visit a school there. The maps at the front of their classrooms show these 'other countries'.
Carefull or you'll get modded -1 Troll. They aren't sophisticated con artists, they're Republicans. [sarcasm] They are about God's business don't you know, so just you leave them be! [/sarcasm]

The air coming out of my PCs exhaust is quite cool & quiet.
It must be the white paint job and shiny silver face. (^-^)
