We do have one Surface Hub and using it as a collaborative drawing board is amazing. Not only because of the sharing capabilities, but I felt no delays when drawing (something I would expect when drawing on Windows).
Whiteboards were not so popular in certain teams until they brought Surface Hub.
I don't understand how a system where you will be required to pay can be optional. How is this considered optional? Maybe I don't understand what an optional insurance means.
Let's be realistic. Switzerland doesn't have an obamacare like system, they have a system which is similar to Canada's though. In Canada, insurance is optional but the healthcare system is funded through taxes.
Switzerland insurance is *not optional*. Indeed, if within 3 months after getting a job (or moving to Switzerland) you don't get a health insurance, the government (which has a lot of control) will notice and buy any insurance on your behalf and send you the bill by mail. There are not free health-care providers. The health insurance covers for a portion of your costs, so you will have to pay a % of everything, up to a limit.
In Germany, companies are required to discount from your salary the health insurance (provided by a private insurer), if they want to hire you. If they don't so, they government. There, all the costs are paid, including for medication.
I also would like to add that people would NOT use error-correting protocol just to save a few bits on those very slow connections.. in those days, every bit was sacred, every bit was good, if a bit is wasted...
the price of ethanol production is cheap

I was born in Brazil and ethanol there from sugar cane was always 50% cheaper than the cheapest gasoline (you know that ethanol for cars exists there for tens of years right?). Now that almost all cars produced in Brazil can run on gasoline OR ethanol (just put whatever you want there), people started to use ethanol more and the ethanol price has risen up to the gasoline price. Therefore, it it is not related to production costs at all, it is only market demand that is controlling the price.
If you have enough money to come to Brazil, you can come here and get a good job on TI. It is far from a US wage, but you can have your life with your wife, kids and everything (surely not an american life standard either). About your health, here we have a public health system that can take care of you. It is not good comparing to UK, but your salary would pay up for a private one anyone if don't like it.
I can't understand why someone would pay US$7500,00 for a broken arm if they can pay US$2000,00 to go to Brazil, get medical treatment (with that value, either public or private) and come back on time for your work. Oh, you could have long time vacations here with such amount of money also.
I have a friend in america that came to my city once. He got an infection in his foot and had medical attention for free just showing his passport. His fathers is a doctor in US.
It is very ridiculous, because if you can put 8 cores in a single dye, then you can put a lot more Multiprocessors then a current GPU already have. And this GPUs are very scalable and the software the runs in it are very simple, so you need simpler threads. And this is what happens. Current GPUs can run 512 threas in parallel. Suppose you have 8 core with Hyperthreading, you could run, squeezing everything, 16 threads top. And there isn't any 8 core for sale, isn't?
I don't know how much of you are programming in image processing or having to change architecture to boost performance, but we have seen here in Slashdot the announce of Framewave, a performance library optimized for x86 almost identical to Intel one (IPP).
You can't say that AMD is behind, considering it has ATI (against NVIDIA and Intel), it's processor line (against Intel), Close To Metal (against CUDA) and Framewave (against IPP).
1) The great deal is that Framewave is open source, and currently I'm using the IPP libraries and found a bug. Since I can't change the code, I think I'm going AMD.
How much of Intel is open sourced? Their software products have quality, but how long could it survive the open source development model?
2) When AMD launches it's CPU+GPU solution, you could take advantage of this instantly. In the case of CUDA, you would have to rewrite your code. In the case of Intel + GMA solution, I would have to wait for their update on IPP (and a new License!). Currently, IPP only scales with the number of cores (since it is thread optimized).
3) This makes the perfect scenario for SOC (System-on-chip) to AMD, which it seems is a trend for the future.

I can't believe this topic was post today! I graduated 1.5 years ago in Electrical Engineering and woke up today 5 AM still having nightmares with my old teachers. I have fighted so much for better quality in my course and got trouble with many teachers. My history in the course is unbelievable. I'll summarize because they are too many: - Got bad grade in the Microprocessors course because I "invented" a instruction. Even with the Intel (8051) Manual in hands showing the instruction I used to the jerk, he could not admit the instruction existed! - My mentor asked me to transfer money from my account to his master student. I said "no! this is extortion". This is why you don't see my name on Microelectronic events anymore. - I got so stressed that I developed psoriasis (dry skin and joints). Girls notice every time. - Other students had low self-esteem and were so afraid that they usually supported retarded teachers. - Till today students have class notes handwritten (anyone heard about computers?). No typewriter for you, just handwritten! - I tryed to have some help with my homework, and the teacher said I knew programming as good as a piece of shit. Hahah! He said the only way I could make a RS232-USB converter was reading the whole kernel source code. - My brother is lawyer. How can someone explain to his mother that one could get Laurea (Law), and the other was reproved 10 times (Engineering)? Oh yes, there were 10% of the class that could end the course untouched, but they are like zombies and can't sustain any sort of social life. - Many others that I would go crazy remembering.
This is a subject that I try not to discuss anymore, afraid of causing me a nervous breakdown, or making others scared of my insanity. Having 5 papers published in well known international events since early years in University, I am currently away of any academic research, afraid of being pursued in the academia. I have plans to leave my job this year and try again, but I got more or less depressed event thinking of it. Only pure interest in science keep my hopes alive.
