In the mid-1990s I studied with the book Chemistry in Context by Hill and Holman. The companion book of experiments and real-world applications had a chapter on anions of alkali metals, and it included a picture of the crystalline self-compound Na-Na+.
The issues whilst similar for multi-socket and multi-core systems are different due to the single processor having links to system bus and main memory shared between the cores, where as these are separate links on different processors. So as nomenculature goes it is not that bad at all.
I agree it's useful to know what kind of multiproc system you're dealing with. However, the tone of this summary (IMHO) is that multisocket is somehow inherently better than the same number of cores in multi-CPU dies.
On the other hand, I've read a number of opinions stating exactly the opposite. It really depends on the application; faster interconnects between CPUs vs. dedicated cache and outerconnects.
On a side note, most of the time I see the word 'core' is in a context completely ignorant of multiprocessing history. There actually was SMP before Intel invented its Core, there were challenges on how to utilize multiple CPUs concurrently, and they were solved to a great extent.
Does anyone here really think you could run a large company without being able to monitor emails sent by company representatives, using company resources? Does this really seem right to you?
I wonder why this cannot be a simple contract issue. When you sign up for a job, you're giving up a lot of rights anyway.
The country code for Finland used to be SF, standing for Suomi-Finland, as Suomi is how we Finns call Finland. The ongoing joke was that SF really stood for Soviet Finland due to our somewhat submissive relationship with the USSR.
Given what we know about human nature and trends in technology it's more likely to be "It's been three seconds and still no blowjob, are you sure this thing is a computer?"
But it's got electrolytes! It's what computers crave! At least after you replace the leaked ones...
I'm not sure if this answers your question, but consider a photon hitting an electron. The electron starts to move a little faster, as it gains some of the photon's energy. But because the motion of the electron changes, there must be some momentum transfer involved, and it must have come from the photon.
It's really only changes in momentum that can be directly measured. It isn't meaningful to consider momentum (or likewise energy) as an inherent property of the object.
The weird thing about the photon-electron collision is that the photon won't slow down at all. It can only move at c, or not exist at all. When it loses energy, its frequency decreases. A loose analogy could be an aircraft that's flying at a constant speed, but as it's burning its fuel, the mass is decreasing, and so is p = m*v.
What, are you stuck with a 1960 mainframe terminal or something? This is the 21st Century, you're supposed to use GUIs and multimedia for everything, whether or not they are appropriate.
I don't have a strong opinion on the usefulness of Caps Lock, but I like my Ctrl keys where they are, in the bottom row. With two pieces of the same modifier, I like having them in somewhat symmetric positions. Just like the two Shift keys, roughly below them you have the two Ctrl keys.

I beg your pardon! Would not the name of a super-analytical engine be quite appropriate here?
So, which way does your toilet flush?
The Illuminatus! Trilogy is another book in the same thread, even more fantastic IMHO, and predates FP by more than a decade.
He's resting, pining for the fjords.

Because, when you put two processors on a single piece of silicon, it magically becomes one "processor" with two "cores".

You misspelled "series".

I've always considered Qwerty far superior to Dvorak, and this confirms it!
On the other hand, Qwerty's 9th symphony (which I use for typing on my New World Mac) doesn't sound as good.

Because nobody using Mac or Linux has ever switched from a different operating system.

the other people who have never used a keyboard before hunt and peck for the correct key
However if you had a real typist on your hand it would make us look like hunt and pickers by default.
Don't you mean "hunt and peckers"? Err, on a second thought, never mind.
What? I can't hear you from all the clickety-click.
(Seriously though, there's only one sensible keyboard, which happens to be an IBM as well: Space Saver.)
Seriously, it was moderately funny once upon time
