It's amazing what kids can figure out when it comes to getting by the restrictions their parents set forth.
Setup a PS3, and put molly guards over the emergency stop. Show them how to make hot chocolate using the HVAC exhaust in the server room. And don't worry about them playing in there. Those places are f*cking loud -- they'll get sick of running between the racks after an hour and never go back.:) Setup webcams and borrow a spare box to keep an eye on your kids while you work.
I had hoped I wouldn't have to spell it out, but the primary appeal of the memristor is the ability to layer circuit on circuit without anything in between, requiring no interconnects. Your plan eliminates this benefit.
The primary benefit is the meristors isn't size, it's that they don't decay after a certain number of rewrites. They are durable solid-state components. The benefit isn't eliminated -- the layers can still be stacked. I'm just saying that you can use the peltier effect, possibly by aligning the meristors themselves in a lattice structure, to channel heat towards the conduits. In any semiconductor, there is a 'hot' and a 'cold' side, as it were. By aligning them all in a similar fashion, you can channel and direct heat, at the cost of slightly lower density. If heat is a real problem, you can insert semiconductors horizontally to pull the heat towards vertical stacks (heat pipes) in the chips themselves.
I'm sure a lot of folks would rather see their paid-for features returned than a few dollars back from a retailer.
No. Most people don't care about the feature. But free money would be a welcome thing. Post it to facebook. Tell all your friends -- Get $80 for free, follow the instructions below! That'll fuck 'em long and good.:) Never appeal to the moral high ground when you can get people on board with good old fashioned cash.
Your plan is to put the peltier cooler on another floor? I don't see how that will help.
Silicon wafers have layers. So do buildings. Put the cooling in between the active circuits. Heat moves upward. Use a tree-like structure to channel heat.
Console makers are intent on depriving their customers of features that are easy to impliment, useful, and are value-added. Why? Because the content providers don't want that functionality available (DRM). As a result, computers become more versatile every year, while consoles become increasingly limited to single applications. In an era where information complexity is increasing exponentially, and we demand more for less every year, these two trends push the demand curve for consoles down.
Solution: Make consoles more useful and flexible.
What they're going to do instead: Dig themselves in a deep hole trying to serve the content providers instead of the customers. Eventually all three -- the content provider, the console manufacturer, and the customer, will become sick of the dichotomy and stop buying consoles.
Please share with us your method of inserting peltier cooler layers between silicon layers. We're talking about removing heat from the middle of a three-dimensional structure, not a flat plane.
Buildings have floors. They don't all have the same stuff in them.
Yes. Memristors don't require that power be applied in order to retain memory state. Heat might limit write and retrieval rate, but it wouldn't limit the number of layers. I suspect that it might make heat pipes built into the memory boards to be a highly desirable option, but that would be to enable faster access, not to allow a greater number of layers.
No reason we can't use the peltier effect to move the heat to the surface and sap it away with heat sinks like we do now.
Apple is a design firm and should be classified as such
Apple's designs should be put on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'
The hardware is standardized. The keys are loaded onto the units daily and rotated for field communications usage. You seem to forget, however, that decryption isn't necessary, nor are the keys available only to the US military. The communications equipment is made to interoperate with NATO and allies, and keys can be updated in the field. Usually the encryption module itself is inserted into the communications equipment when it is checked out, and the module is hardened against attack; the key can be uploaded. It cannot be downloaded.
That said, there's no need to decrypt the data: If you can view it, then you can record it in some fashion. It's just another form of DRM, albeit with a different purpose in mind: This video, while graphic, has little intelligence value to an enemy. For the intelligence to have value, it must be timely. Minutes, or hours later, is often outside the window where it can be of assistance in the decision-making process.
From a military standpoint, this is a non-event. From a public-relations standpoint, it's a big steaming pile of shit. The US has tried hard to avoid another Vietnam -- not by changing tactics but by information management and media control. This "leak" compromises that management, but not operational security.
"Distracted driving" kills millions. That's not any indication texting is responsible for even a fraction of those, or any at all. Show me a more applicable statistic, and maybe I'll buy the "It's for the good of the children!" argument they're throwing.
should filter out the worst offender category of sand/dust without seriously impeding air flow
Desert dust is distinct from the grains of sand you're accustomed to. It's been worn down to nearly microscopic, is highly abrasive, very light, and nylons won't keep that kind of stuff out. And even if they could, you're obstructing the airflow to critical components which will overheat. He did mention desert correct? Deserts are (as a rule) quite hot.
You need purpose-built tools to work in that environment.
The genes wouldn't have to be on the X-chromosome, would they?
And technically, you don't have to be female to be a tetrochromat. It's the TDF gene that determines sex, not the chromosome. And due to a variety of genetic, environmental, and endocrinological disorders, a person's sex doesn't always match their genes.
Funny, that's how they responded to freeing the slaves, women's sufferage, and the Prohibition, and those are just the things I can quote out of the Constitution.
Let's ask another question: Is it morally wrong to deny someone a cure because in your own infinite arrogance you think it's "wrong" to give it to them?
We've already answered that in this country: No. Look at people who are transgendered. They are diagnosed by the medical community, who views surgical intervention as both medically indicated and necessary in many of those cases, the people want to treatment, but almost no insurance companies cover it and the treatment is prohibitively expensive, which means the 10 year mortality rate for those suffering from it is higher than many forms of cancer due to the psychological stress.
I've made it a habit to avoid nVidia chips in the laptops (especially - because you can't change cards in a laptop) and other computers that I purchase. This only confirms that decision. I'm not a gamer, but obviously lots of software uses 3D hardware these days.
Alas, the only other real competitor is intel... and if you've ever been "blessed" by using one of their integrated chipsets on a laptop, you'll probably look a lot kinder on your dental visits.
It makes a lot of sense. If there's no life on the planet, no one cares about the temperature. Problem solved.
Yeah. Well, life will repopulate after we've fucked up the planet. And millions of years from now, that life will wonder what happened during this brief 20,000 year segment of history on this rock, chalk it up as a mass-extinction event like all the others, and the universe will have forgotten all our hopes and dreams.
That's "problem solved".... It makes you wonder if it hasn't happened before.
Well, bubbles might also mean no oxygen exchange. So we'll wind up killing 80% of the planet's ecosystem off when the oceans die, to stop global warming. Yeah. That makes sense.

Because people I've never met annoy the judge?
If you incited them to, then yeah. Courts don't look too kindly on people harassing court officials. This guy deserves a dumbass award.
again, it's 80 UK POUNDS (84 actually), that's about $130 not $80
I just guessed.

I'll claim prior art
And how will you do that, if you can't speak, Mr. Anderson?

Finally something that sounds like it's actually patentable.
Yeah, but it can't be that big of a breakthrough... Nobody's filed any lawsuits yet.
Has been resisting me for years. I'll be damned if I can remember where I put my keys.
Have you tried turning your brain off and back on again?

Die! Die! Die! Why won't you just fuckin die?!?!
Stick a fork in it, it's done. Wait... that's what usually happens when a UNIX variant dies... Someone forks it.

We're infants playing with power tools!
Don't worry. It'll just make the Darwin Awards more interesting...

However even then it is a people problem, the local base level admin and security people total ignore this and install almost anything they want.
That tends to happen when the chain of command breaks as badly as it has here...

No light, no plankton, no life.
Well, bubbles might also mean no oxygen exchange. So we'll wind up killing 80% of the planet's ecosystem off when the oceans die, to stop global warming. Yeah. That makes sense.
