Actually, the name of the new chips are just 'Core'. It comes with two varieties: Duo and Solo, indicating how many cores there are per die. (I suspect a Solo is just a 'failed' Duo.) Nothing wrong calling it Core 2 [Duo|Solo]. Just like how they named, Pentium 4 EE. It's not Pentium EE 4.
You can probably expect Core Trio or Core Quattro in a few years:) Probably need some negotiations with Audi for the latter.
You missed the question. Of course there are animals with different number of chromosomes walking or crawling around.
My question asked how and why. I am not questioning that there are organisms with different number of chromosomes I can see that. Obviously if evolution is happening then there must be a process in which chromosomes can increase.
Oh and by the way, Robersonian translocations causes people to have 45 chromosomes. In other words, a REDUCTION. And it still does not explain how chromosome count increases.
> Consider that the plants are still Coca because they are defined that way. Names of species are all just groupings based on what people saw, afterall.
Reasonable answers. Perhaps our idea of 'species' is still too broad. For example, dogs and wolves can breed (and produce fertile pups) and according to wikipedia, they fall into the same species... dogs are also categorized into a sub-species -- something that I wasn't taught about in biology class when they taught about the nomenclature (Kingdom, phylum, blah blah,..., genus, species.)
And the articles were good. The second article answered some of my questions but it also asked some more questions that I'd like to have answered.
For example, it is relatively easier to have a reduction in chromosomes than for it to increase -- through chromosome fusion, where two chromosomes fused together (though the process is unexplained). Accompanying chromosome fusion is chromosome fission in which a chromosome through some unknown process split into two chromosomes. However, the article stated that there is no concrete evidence of this happening, plus the new chromosome requires new centromeres and telemeres... and where did those come from?
The second process in which chromosome numbers can increase is through polyploidy where there are more than just a pair of the same chromosome. In humans, there are only a pair of each chromosome (a diploid), but there are some plants where it can actually have 8 pairs of the same chromosome -- called an octaploid. However, there is no known mammal that is greater than a diploid.
So the two processes explained in the article and in many textbooks of how chromosome numbers increase have no concrete basis yet. And my question still remains, at least in mammals, how do mammals acquire more chromosomes. Ex. horses have 64 chromosomes, rhinoceros have 94, etc..
Despite the new tolerance to glyphosate, aren't these plants still Coca? And they will still be able to reproduce with the original strain? So in effect, no new species are created... This is micro-evolution.
Now, I'd like to see some evidence of macro-evolution where one species evolve into a different species... say how do animals end up with different number of chromosomes. Perhaps I am ignorant, but I've never heard of any explanation of how a new species acquires an extra pair of chromosomes...
Umm, if you want to discourage the trent towards obesity just move to a developing country.
The trend towards obesity is largely only in the US and 1st world countries, perhaps Japan excluded.
Anyway, the actual trend of the world is towards hunger, starvation, and malnutrition. The richer gets richer and the poorer gets poorer, and the 300 million people in the US are in the richer category, even if I am just a cashier, my life is 100 times better than someone from Ethiopia.
If I am King, I will move all the fast food restaurants to Africa.
Seems like a decent scheme, but I can think of a few ways to bypass it. Maybe my ways are flawed?
1. Buy real product and obtain number 2. Mass produce counterfeit product with genuine number 3. ??? 4. Profit!
-or-
1. Obtain list of numbers from disgruntled employee 1b. Or maybe obtain list from your cousin's boyfriend who works at the factory 2. Mass produce counterfeit product with these numbers. 3. ??? 4. Profit!
In addition, you need mass end user education on how to check for a genuine product...
What about fake websites that authenticates fake products?
Heard about this from a friend before... didn't know it was called Machinima until now.
Basically, they're making film through a game. Each person playing their role, recording their sessions. Maybe another player logged in can be a 'camera man' viewing the whole 'play' (or movie) from a 3rd person point of view (and recording). Afterwards, each actors' and cameraman's sessions can be taken and edited together and that becomes the movie. Dialogue can be added during post-processing I guess.
Imagine making the movie Shrek this way using a Shrek quake player model, etc.
I think if the Hubble is placed at one of the La Grange points, the telescope will always have a blind spot blocked by Earth... This blind spot will change, as the Earth orbits around the sun. But you will always have a constraint here... I am not sure if this contraint matters that much. Just my 2 cents.
Even if the cars are pressurized, it surely must somehow adjust slowly to match that of the outside pressure... otherwise there will be a big surprise for the passengers when they finally arrive and exit the cars. Unless there are no stops at that altitude, the train is simply passing through.
I wonder if the H1ghlander team name is referring to CMU's cafeteria. Highlander is the name of the cafeteria at CMU... infamous among students for it's grade D radioactive beef and other yucky food... well, at least that's 6 years ago... wonder how the campus food is like now at CMU.
This is so true. We have designs broken on paper that works perfectly fine in silicon. But of course, on paper we assume the worst case of most things and is probably overly pessimistic.
What ends up happening is that parts are cherry picked before they're sold (with the costs passed down to the customers) or that the parts are binned and sold at different levels such as the case for Intel chips.
Increasingly methods to improve yield rates drive some of the design decisions, sometimes even at the architectural level, especially as the processes continue to shrink.
UT -- a simulator that you've used. What sort of simulator, please?
It's called SimpleScalar, a superscalar microarchitecture simulator. We have developed trace cache simulators with it in '98-'99 among other things. (Pentium 4 implementation wasn't that great however, it was a high cost cache anyway.)
Most of the technology that you mentioned were developed 2 decades ago. Their pervasiveness today reflect the years of research and development that has gone into it. RAID was an idea developed by Patterson in the early 90's or late 80's, but only in the last few years can you build RAID arrays cheaply. Some great ideas only made it into the market and the general masses after years of development. Ask yourself, can you name any research, off the top of your head, from the schools that you listed.
UT has a great deal of research going on - Wireless, Computer Vision/AI, verification, etc... Not to mention countless alumnis' making impact in the industry. Intel in Hillsboro, OR has a large team of UT alumni, HP in Dallas and in Colorado as well, and of course the firms in Austin that I mentioned.
Keep up with research papers and what's going on around the industry before you 'judge' a school's worthiness based on your own little world of BSD's and linuxes.
And actually, you're not quite right about SPICE either. The idea may have originated from Berkeley, and I am not trying to discredit them, but most of the industry have moved on to using tools from Cadence, Synopsis, or develop their own tools that match their own needs.
Don't look down on the Texans. It has one of the highest ranked computer engineer programs in the country. I've heard of Doug Berger before and we have read his research papers and use his simulators (made between him and Todd Austin of Wisconsin) in our graduate classes at CMU (I'm BS&MS ECE, CS '01).
Austin also has a high number of tech companies around - heck, AMD, IBM, Intel, Freescale, just to name a few. It's nicknamed Silicon Hills. UT may not have the legacies like that of MIT, CMU, Berkeley, Stanford, but they got a heck of a program going on there and they are catching up. Hook'em Horns!

It's already fun, and it's already done correctly. You don't need a Nintendo Revolution controller.
You would be waiting for one revolution on each drive, you are right. However, this wait is done in parallel. That is the beauty of RAID. If the drives were accessed serially, then yes, you would have to wait the N revolutions... however, a correctly implemented RAID array should have the drives be accessed in parallel. Of course, I am not taking into consideration of the drive interface. If all the interface are through the same IDE card or if the PCI bus is busy, you would be waiting a lot longer.
Your maximum wait time is one revolution... whether you have one drive or if you have infinite drives, one revolution is the max time.
Having synchronized spindles seems a lot of work for a max saving of 1/2 revolution... in a 7200rpm drive, 1 revolution is 8.3ms, so 1/2 revolution is 4.15 ms... trying to synchronize spindles to save a maximum of 4.15ms seems to be a lot of effort put in the wrong place. You're better off going to higher rpms to squeeze out those few extra milliseconds...

The 3rd field didn't need to be double quoted in the first place because there are no commas.

Actually, by that time it will be mostly burned up already... especially considering that the ISS is not aerodynamic at all.

But you will always have a constraint here... I am not sure if this contraint matters that much. Just my 2 cents.
This is interesting. Possible alien abduction taking place during that period of time? Or is NASA testing their new teleporting technology?
Aloha.
True, but if the ISS is at 340 km and it is dropping at 1 km/day, then we have almost a year to fix the problem.
;)
Haha, this is a truly hilarious statement. Do you think we can fix the problem when the ISS is 1km above the ground?
Japan also fails many of these tests... and yet they're one of the biggest economies.
Even if the cars are pressurized, it surely must somehow adjust slowly to match that of the outside pressure... otherwise there will be a big surprise for the passengers when they finally arrive and exit the cars. Unless there are no stops at that altitude, the train is simply passing through.
You must admit though that the view and the scenery is great! Being able to enjoy Maui like that is well worth getting altitude sickness! :D
