  1. Russian's make a part on 'First Lock' At Laser Interferometer · · Score: 1

    While it's mentioned nowhere in articles, I know for sure Russians provide low-end theoretical work (measurement scheme) and mirrors support. I don't know the exact status of this, possibly some kind of subgranting. Russian key person's name is Braginsky.

  2. Nice article w/the exception of electron speed bug on The Fundamentals Of Cache · · Score: 1
    I've got some questions however:
    1. I've heard about stackable processors a time ago. Anybody know what's happened to 'em? This would let us use multichip solutions without expensive cartriges. The only reason against this I can see is a cooling problem.
    2. Anybody know how exactly the cache searching works? What's wrong with totally-associative cache (except of possibly large number of transistors)?
    3. What's good with Harvard architecture (separate instructions/data)? Never understood this too.
    4. Why not start searching in all caches at the same time?
    5. Why didn't AMD preserved some space in exclusive cache system to save from 20 ticks delay mentioned?
    6. Why don't they make planes with the same technology as flight recorders, and does air rotates in tires? :-)))

  5. Too late to get this moded up, but on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    (Inspired by reading this article comments) I patent the idea of (automatiñ or manual) breaking (splitting) the variable length (html, sgml or other interactive) hypertext (price, goods, services list or other) document into several pieces (pages) at some (predefined or dynamically adjustable) limit for more convenient viewing (reading), faster formatting and printing on limited height forms. This also includes any links, buttons (or other GUI elements), hotkeys and any other means provided for (easy) switching between this pieces, and any system for enumerating them.

  11. 0.5A technology for chips on Individual Chemical Bond Formed With STM · · Score: 1

    Tunneling microscope looks like finest tool for making chips that would ever be available. However, creating one CPU with tunneling microscope would take ~10 years (assuming several minutes per transistor). But I'm sure it would be used for electron beam lythography finally. Unless we would manage to breed chips in cattle-pen before.

  12. Either this mb is POC or... on Real Review of DDR Mobo · · Score: 3
    ... or I understand nothing in modern computers. Look: for a long time (since ~200 MHz) I was told that current computers are limited by memory bandwidth. Every improvement in CPU speed gave too little gain in real life performance (even while not limited by disk io). Finally we've got amazing memory technology that should be twice as fast as before. If we have really had bottleneck in memory IO, we should have experienced at least 50% performance increment. What we see? Nothing. Only real difference in their benchmark caused by better IDE interface and hd.

    So, I conclude that:

    1. This motherboard is a piece of crap, or
    2. DDR SDRAM idea is bullshit, or
    3. This report is bullshit, or
    4. We are not actually limited by RAM bandwidth but, say, by real instructions per second (as opposite to tics per second) CPU speed, or
    5. I missed something, or
    6. All of the above.

  18. Re:Making Sense on CERN May Have Found The Higgs Boson · · Score: 5
    This is nice view for popular paper article but it would lead you in trouble if you're really trying to understand something or work in the area. For instance it's easy to imagine repulsion forces as a result of exchanging some particles, but it's impossible to explain attraction that way.

    Actually there are no particles during interaction. Particle is an abstraction. Sea of particles is an abstraction. Even single field is an abstraction, but it is proper math object and we should have some starting point anyway. So while talking about discovering Higgs particle we actually mean discovering Higgs boson field. This field interacts with other fields so, that this fields behave like having mass. This is because of some math and there's nothing more about it.

    And don't compare mass and weight here: while we believe in General Theory of Relativity, object weight and object resistance to accelerate (mass) is the same thing.

  22. Probably offtopic on HP Print Server Uses Linux, But Doesn't Support It? · · Score: 1
    HP claim to have OS/2 drivers for some of their printers. However, after downloading file from HP I found out that it's a windows self-extracting archive. After unpacking it with external zip and trying to install I got a message "The Extended Attributes on the .DRV file have been corrupted." Of course, winzip know nothing about EA's. Thus the file was virtually unusable.

    Second thing I found out is that their pages contain no email addresses to contact at all.
