No, it's an invention. Inventions are engineering, discoveries and theories are science. Process technologies are definitely not scientific discoveries.
It seems that you are right, the Nobel committee emphasize on discoveries over inventions, but this was not the original intention of Alfred Nobel. So, if sir Alfred was still alive, he could give the prize to him:-D
Engineers don't get Nobel Prizes. The prizes are for science not engineering.
In fact I meant nobel for physics. The silicon gate technology, invented by Faggin, is essential for the boost of the microprocessor technology, but it is indeed a physics discovery.
http://www.intel4004.com/ goes into much greater detail about Federico Faggin (primary co-developer and project leader), and the story of his accomplishments before and at Intel, his physical signature on all 4000 series chips, Intel's successful attempt to discredit him and patent his invention (the buried gate) that he invented at Fairchild before coming to Intel, and his departure to found Zilog with some members of his older design team.
Intel has been playing their game their way for a very long time.
It's a pity and a big mistake that such a great engineer did not get a Nobel prize yet. He revolutionized our world.
I upgraded form Kubuntu Jaunty to Karmic 64bit, I had no graphic problem but:
a problem with sound in non-KDE applications, especially Flash and VLC, solved by removing PulseAudio
a problem with networking, the network manager plasmoid has been removed in the favour of a systray application. The biggest problem is that already set configuration went away...
about Java, as I am a Java developer, was a pain. It installed JRE 1.6_16 but, since JDK 1.6_16 was not available (only _15) it installed OpenJDK. To make it work I had to get back to JDK and JRE 1.6_15 and removing OpenJDK.
In the linked article there is a misuse of branching in Subversion. In fact, you need to branch only to maintain old versions, not to create new features! When developing new features, you operate directly on the trunk, so that inconsistencies pop up as soon as possible. If a feature should be ported to a branch, then there is the need of a merge, but not the opposite!
Simply tell him that, usually, spam is filtered and deleted automatically.
Once he sent a sufficiently large amount of spam, the filter will filter away the legitimate e-mails too.

Removed there too :-(
Ack, Chee, Eek!
That was a game.

So even in this article Nicola Cabibbo demonstrated to deserve the Nobel Prize:

They did put it even in a gallery and in a church (Dives in Misericordia) in Rome.
