C-effective is a timing construct only, you reach your 50% switching point at different times for the same circuit with different topology. Rather than design for the worst-case Cap, you do timing for the Ceff of the load network.
However, the device STILL switches full rail, which means ALL of the capacitance is charged.
So to correct you, dynamic power absolutely goes down as a result of shrinkng the device, becasue both diffusion and gate cap shrink.
Leakage power is another story alltogether, and it actually gets worse as the channel shrinks, but the process doping and layout rules and can offset some of this.
Pay attention Linux developers: this are the kinds of things you'll have to deal with when your product matures to a level suitable for wide end-user distribution.
Being able to write a neat-o app and post it on sourceforge to impress your friends is only the most basic aspect of software development. Maybe 10,000 people will use your program, and most will be experts.
Now try distributing that program to 250 million people.
Look at Gimp.
Look at Star Office.
Look at Gnome.

M$oft may be in it for the money and may be unscrupulous, but they are encountering issues that all maintainers of ultra-large SW projects face all the time.
Says the manufacturer. Riiiiiight. Plain aluminum cans aren't 100% safe and environment friendly! Imagine a few hundred million cans full of dessicant and who knows what else thrown around unrecycled...
I'll believe it when there's actual facts posted about what's inside.
No kidding, every newsletter is like "Why Mensa's are so perfect" or "Why Mensa children are our supermen overlords"... it was too embarrassing to continue membership so i let it lapse, but the scars are still there.
Yes, by definition this will happen. IANAC, but from what I understand the probability is SOOO slim that it doesn't matter for some applicatioins. What this implies for the security of the algorithm is beyond me...
No shit! Everyone at work was like "Dude, this movie is so far out and there's all this kinky sex!".
The sexual content was so vanilla that I felt like some people in this world have never explored any art beyond prime-time sitcoms and hollywood blockbusters.
Go watch a GG Allen or a Genitorturers concert, or check out the movie "Sick" about the super-masochist. Then get back to be about twisted sex.
Even Bitter Moon was more deviant than this pile of hype.
Oh rats, you're an AC. Maybe you'll read this again, maybe not: The ironic part is, I got called a retard on the usenet for asking if there was any way to have more than one hireling. You can google for "ixtahdoom" and "neverwinter nights" to see me getting flamed for not RTFM'ing and seeing that it's just 1 PC + 1 hireling only.
I just hoping that they flesh out the single-player game better, and allow for more than one party member. I was really disappointed with the gameply when I played the 1p version of NWN#1, however, the graphics kick Icewind Dale's clean elven arse, and make Diablo I & II look like Mario Brothers on SuperNES.
It is going to be crap because for some reason hollywood thinks it needs an overwhelming soundtrack for a comedy like this! Fuck, it's a BRITISH COMEDY, not some Will Smith turd.
The knack is in the subtlety if the adventure, not a seat of your pants thrillride!!
Man, this is gonna suck if that's what they think is needed for a trailer.

Dude needs to go back in time a few hundred years, go to the middle east, or watch one of those wild eyed preachers rant in tongues! That's the true face of religion. It is kinder and gentler in civilized societies because we're all too fat and lazy and bored and over entertained to really do what X religious text says we're supposed to. (Since there is no measureable cause and effect to judeo christian rules and regulations, people blow it off. and rightly so.) Jeez, watch people speak in tongues and tell me games are charicatures.
"but in retrospect, I think I see what you mean....but am I wrong for wanting something back?"
Ah... I thought you were referring to how much you were being paid for your job as head cashier, I think I misunderstood you. You will always get criticized, but it if is hostile criticism, than that person is an asshole and you can write them off, or try to communicate in their language and manipulate/convince them into seeing it your way. Some prefer manipulation, some are really good at constructive confrontations. Getting people to see things your way is very difficult, but is a valuable skill. And don't forget, there's always a small chance you might be wrong too and have trouble accepting that. I'm just putting that out there, not implying anything.
The idea of "wanting something back" is difficult concept. I'm having trouble remembering the last time I thought that, I was always rather happy with whatever people would give me, so maybe I've learned a healthy mode of denial and abuse, or maybe I've just learned to write off people who are of no benefit.
A wise mentor I once had as a teenager said: "There are two kinds of people in this world: people who want something from you, and people you want something from." True. Gotta learn who is going to help you and who isn't.
Sounds like my highschool experience, except move the 10 hours of yearbook on to the 10 hours of stage crew (sound director junior year). I worked 24 hours a week, not 30, that would have made a big difference in my sanity.
People will always pester you for being competent. That's one thing you don't want to spoil. Don't become a prick computer guru who think's his shyt don't stink. Just be practical, don't jump through hoops, but don't blow them off. This will benefit you later in life (how you get along with people counts for way more than you can imagine later on in your job, you'd be surprised). I'm not saying kiss ass, just don't overextend yourself.
"I'm tired of spending three hours letting you talk to me about your adonis."
Dude, ditch her ASAP. She's not a friend, she's a liability. Don't play the sucker role of nice guy, it doesn't give you any fun memories as an adult, just makes you feel embarassed for wasting your teen years being some hottie's whipping boy. You can even be rude about it: she doesn't matter, 1 year in college and you'll barely talk to these people, 2 years and they become old photographs, plus she'll benefit from the lesson it teaches her. (Gee, do _I_ sound bitter or what!;-)
"I know I bring my work upon myself, but I feel I'm not being paid back for my work."
No offense, but once you lose this ingrained sense of entitlement, you won't be so mad at your job. I know people who bitch about how small their bonuses are, for real! It's free money and they complain. Just find something you like to do and hope it pays enough. If it doesn't pay enough, find cheap hobbies and learn to cook.
Sorry for turning/. into Dear Abby, but your situation sounded very familiar to mine, and I graduated 15 years ago (it TOTALLY flew by).
Interesting. I haven't been on a long enough trip to empty the tank and compare odometer vs. fillup gallons. I'll try that.
However, I notice that sometimes when I reset the computer on the highway, it will start at 10-12 mpg and slowly tick up every 30 or so seconds. If I don't accelerate then how can the number increase if the computer just uses throttle position and speed.
Plus, I can coast with the clutch in for a few minutes and the MPG doesn't change.
Saab's computer might be a little different than what you are used to.

Yeah, and those damned neighborhood kids who draw hopscotch grids in pink and lime colored chalk should be thrown in juvie for defacement as well...

Yes, yes, emacs is SOOO much easier to use than word.
Another pointyheaded unix nerd misses the concept of the average user yet again.
The can is fine, but the paint on the outside isn't inert.
But I was thinking more about the process --
Strip mine planet for aluminum (bauxite).
Powder grind with millions of gallons of deisel to seperate (floats).
Coal fired blast furnace to melt.
These are all very unnatural non-eco-groovy things.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying where I stand on the issue, I just have a problem with false advertising.
I'm not disagreeing. I love my high IQ and want to SING IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!
Stop stop! We'll have none of that!!
By the way, how do you know so much about mensa? are you one too?

Actually, you can only have one hireling in single player mode.

Look at all the posts modded Troll (or negative), and look at ones modded Insightful (or positive).
- Posts marked Troll/-1 usually contain claims of PC over MAC

Sorry for turning
uh, you could throw an exception to debug port three, or a mail process, or a port 80 code.
don't program much, do you?
...AND forget to check the return value of printf. It really CAN fail.
Interesting. I haven't been on a long enough trip to empty the tank and compare odometer vs. fillup gallons. I'll try that.

Saab's computer might be a little different than what you are used to.
i drive a saab 900 SE turbo. mileage should be around 27 hwy, I generally get 27, and on long trips the computer reads 30+.
city gets lower than the 22 rating, around 18.
it has no verb... just an article, noun and adverb.
;-)
a scanner darkly ____ ?
what does a scanner darkly do?
i'm used to verbs in my titles!
