One big question - at what temperature would something like this run? Keeping chips cool is hard enough without having to get to superconducting temperatures!
That's for sure. I left college with an EECS degree thinking I'd enter the world of business by being a consultant. I worked very long hours with little reward. The cost saving measures in the office were crazy, and I was often undermined by my superiors in front of clients. My future there looked quite promising - they offered me the world when I announced my leaving. I wouldn't have stayed for the world, though. I'm too young to be wasting my life working.
Now, I work for a tech company doing embedded stuff. My hours are better, I'm learning a lot more, and I'm earning more. I think the attitude of looking out for one's own happiness first can make the difference between being stuck with 80 hour weeks and enjoying the most important things in life, like having hobbies and a loving family.
12 years experience!! It seems that someone with 12 years experience who has always worked on the same old stuff is far less experienced than someone who has been educated for three years or so on modern technology.
You can't limit the frequencies much, since then the time required for each pulse increases. To know that a frequency tone is pure (a spectrum of only one frequency), you'd have to look at it for an infinitely long time. Similarly, to have an infinitely short pulse, you'd need every possible frequency to represent it. Everything else lies somewhere in between, so if you limit the frequencies that these pulses are transmitted over, the pulses have to grow in time.
I bought a system from CyberMax recently (K6-450 Entrepreneur), and it's got AGP, a 32 Mb video card, 128 Mb RAM, etc. I'm very happy with it. It all cost about $1600. (inc. 17" monitor)

Except thumbscanning sucks when you have an evil twin brother. I think irises are supposed to be different between twins.

It's not in the articles on that page, for some reason. Instead, search DejaNews on fa.linux.kernel for the Ken Thompson articles.

rufus.w3.org has some of the SRPMS...
Very cool. I just tried xringd, and it seems to work pretty well. The source is pretty simple, too.

I fixed that BSD process accounting bug in the source myself. Will the 2.2.5 patch die if I've already done some of its work?
What other forum can turn the release of some new source code into an intense debate? Someone's usually got an angle on it that's interesting...
