AMD's original Geode - GX2 (used in their predecessor to One Laptop Per Child, a.k.a. the Personal Internet Communicator - later sold as the DECTop) doesn't have CMOV. All "Geodes" are not created equal. It would be interesting to see what the TDP and clock rate on these things would be on todays chip technology.
Google Real Estate on Maps (for 1 example) _could_ have been quite profitable - AFAICT, no tool compares to it still. Things at Google tend to get shut down before they've had time to succeed (they never really advertised the real estate side of Maps). Completely shutting things down, instead of just putting them in a maintenance only mode, erodes trust with users that have integrated the tech into their lives and developers that made it possible with the work the put into interfacing with the API. I no longer waste my time with any Google APIs.
Google isn't the only one, it happens when any tech company starts being run by bean counters who don't understand the intangible value of trust. I still think that Opera made a mistake shutting down Unite, it was just ahead of its time and users were just starting to figure it out when it was shut down.
On this site IC typically means integrated circuit instead of internal combustion. The former sounds pretty good, an engine with no moving parts.
I think it's doable actually, wrap the "rails" from a maglev train around the inside of the wheels. Use SCRs to electronically control the electro-magnetic field for propulsion... and there you go, and integrated circuit engine with no moving parts except the wheels.
That may have been the case in the past, but today's trenchers make short work of burying pipes and cable, its probably closer to 1.5 to 2 times the cost these days. Then the maintenance cost is significantly reduced afterwards.
In many cities, as part of the easement, the initial utility buys and installs the poles which are then owned by the city. The city can use eminent domain to procure the required land to place the poles. In return the utility gets to use them for a specified period of time and the city can allow other utilities to use the poles. It all depends on the local laws at the time and how it was set up.
AT&T thought it was fine and dandy when the city passed the ordinance that placed an easement on people's property, so that AT&T could use the land for utility poles and subterranean lines. They could always repeal the whole easement and give them the minimum time required by law to remove the equipment if AT&T keeps pressing the issue further.
It would make sense that the more uniform structure from the same type of pollen would produce better results at first. Perhaps later research will show that purposefully alternating layers of smaller and larger pollens produces better yields. The "bee pollen" could be any number of shapes and sizes.
The stories that slashdotters seem to prefer (myself included) are the ones with lasting impact on society as a whole. If you had to choose between a story about a new programming language that would allow programming of virus/yeast DNA to accomplish distributed computing tasks and a story about another school shooting or giant tsunami disaster, the tech advancement story will always win (unless the byline for the tsunami story is "Linus Torvalds may be among the dead"... or Hans Reiser is the school shooter after escaping from prison)
Aside from that just put this wannabe BBS code on github and let the community help fix things like:
1. Edit capability
- stackexchange style edit history would be nice
2. Mobile interface
- the current m.slashdot.org is awful #@$@#$^ sliding ads that say my device is infected
3. Horrible configuration
- no configuration with sane defaults would almost be better - worst UI I've seen since libXaw
4. Page speed
- since "Beta" and the huge video/flash ads, I typically read the latest headlines which takes ~10s but have to wait 2X that to load
- allow configuration to show "posts since last visit"
5. Better use of vertical space
- move the author etc to the same line as the post and some of the data, such as time posted and the post number into its popup on a link icon
6. Some sort of markup/down
Replace annoying in-your-face ads with:
1. a sponsored article model of revenue (and mark them as such).
2. affiliate accounts with select sites to have (mutable for registered users) daily deals.
3. a daily sponsor
Video ads are only acceptable on video content.
Audio ads are only acceptable on audio content.
Damn small Linux had you do something like fill out a form and send it snail mail with a money order to cover the cost of shipping, handling and media (floppy disks) .
Lets hope the redesign makes it as slow-loading as the Google Groups redesign
Then the slowest loading mailing list on the net will have the company of the slowest loading BBS.
Seriously, G+ needs to heed their own page speed advise.
Remember a short while ago when the minimal install images were less than 50mb ... fortunately Puppy linux can build a working system with debian packages without the standard required and base packages
Most auto regulations are equipment based when they should be results based.
Mandatory air bags when a 5 point safety harness would be safer, lighter and cheaper (if used)
Mandatory catalytic converters when an electroplated exhaust with a vortex generator could be just as good but improve engine efficient.
Mandating the stoichemetric setpoint that slightly improves emissions at a significant cost to efficiency, how do you think all those mod chips that improve efficiency _AND_ power are so effective?
No other government agency gets to operate like that. Of course companies are going to find ways of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, especially when their way is better. A vw diesel actually emits less during driving conditions because it operates more efficiently and burns less fuel per mile when it operates using its current settings. If you own one and want to do the "right thing" for the environment, only take it in if you spend most of your time parked with the engine running for heat/air (the only conditions where the EPA setpoints work)
If you drive a gas guzzling American behemoth and want to do the "right thing" for the environment you have to use a "mod" and possibly be in violation of the DMCA to do exactly what a couple of rogue vw software engineers already did for you.
Before any of this can really happen, manufacturers need to get together and develop a standard for each component:
* The touch-screen, lcd and backlight need standardized connectors.
* Speakers and microphones need an interface that supports sufficient current with minimal noise
* SOCs need a standardize pinout for common components so that sets of commonly un-included component groups can easily be set up off chip without a lot of circuitry while also functioning on chips with the kitchen sink.
--- GPU on one side
--- ram on another
--- power supply and peripheral I/O on another
--- radio comms on another
Or whatever, the important thing is that it can be the same, if you don't include a standard component, just leave off those "pins". There should be a standard interface that could be used for any components that are not on board (or even if the SOC can turn them on/off internally)
ICF has already been demonstrated to work, however the laser density and strength has limited the efficiency. Perhaps the "Rocket City Rednecks" can bust out their weaponised blu-Ray player arrays and put them to a peaceful purpose.

CMOV if I recall correctly
I never seem to have mod points when they are deserved, but my thoughts exactly +1.

I had several quantum bigfoot drives that were a really good value at the time and worked great with all of the otherwise useless extra 5.25" slots.

This has already been ruled on for traffic cameras. I think that is a pretty good precedent.

give or take, depending on the time of year
Unfortunately ridiculous Ghost Buster references throughout the code hierarchy is not the only reason the Mozilla code base is unattractive.
