Putting both GPU and CPU in close proximity to each other should help, not hinder. I think you mistook the GP for saying they'd be on the same die, but he said bus, not die. It may be that they need to be separated a couple of inches from each other to allow room for fanout of the CPU signals to the rest of the board rather than having them in the same socket. If they weren't separated, and the chip packaging was the same height, they could design one heat sink over both chips. This reduces the parts count for the fan and heatsink and therefore increases reliability.
Having something on a plug in card with such an extreme cooling requirement just doesn't make sense. You aren't allowed much space for heat sink design between it and the next slot. Having the GPU on the motherboard gives case/motherboard designers more room for the heatsink design.
The problem is that the economics are off. It's gotta be way cheaper for the enemy to take one out (even if you lose 4 guys to do it) than for us to build one. If this thing can run up stairs or through a regular sized door, then I can see where this would be used.
Jay Leno says that when someone comes to a stop too close to his bike at a stop light, all he he would have to do is rev his turbine engine powered motorcycle a bit to melt their bumper.
That was pretty funny, but let me set the record straight.
Aspergers messes with the way the brain perceives emotions in others. My brother has it, and he is very easily confused about whether we are being sarcastic or not. This inability translates into poor interpersonal skills. There are other symptoms (poor reaction times to unexpected stimuli, pain for strong stimuli for example) but the interpersonal thing is the biggest problem. One thing that is very common with Aspergers is that they exhibit fixations. They will concentrate on one particular subject for a long enough period of time to become a guru of that subject. My brother had a chain of them including fans, calendars, and roads. He would spin a tinkertoy fan by hand for hours, obsessively draw pictures of roads for hours a day for months, he learned enough about calendars to tell you what day of the week a particular day 50 years in the future is. When he was in the road kick we were always asking him for directions.
Reading several sources it looks like it takes about 30-40 hp to cruise in modern car. That figure is v^2 dependent though and the different aerodynamic figures and different speeds are what causes the figure to be so different.
You have made excellent points, bravo. I'm conflicted about Jenny's delivery. On the one hand zealots tend to be discredited, on the other, she is a mother and as "Chicks in Chainmail" says, "Don't **** with the mommy":)
On a slightly different topic I recently read about the Radium Girls and my pessimism about large corporations has increased. People don't change. Money corrupts. The same stunts get pulled every time there is a threat to a companies bottom line. US Radium corporation, the Tobacco industry ("cigarettes don't cause cancer, they're perfectly safe") behaved just like the pharmaceutical companies behave and will continue behaving about vaccines. I'm not trying to say that vaccines do cause autism, I'm just saying that they will do whatever it takes to downplay/pay off/discredit the risk just to avoid lawsuits. Consequently research on what causes autism becomes polarized and muddied. It becomes much harder to determine if research done is accurate due to the bias (payola?) of the researcher.
Keep your skeptic and tin-foil hats firmly affixed.
If you did that you'd never get your turn. I don't know of any laws about that case, that's the way I was taught.
I do know you're not supposed to enter the intersection if there's no room to exit the intersection, maybe you're confusing the two cases? The difference is what effect the behavior would have if it were applied to more than 1 intersection. On the left turn situation, you don't cause gridlock. On the other hand entering the intersection when there is no way to clear it can cause gridlock.
You and the linked article are correct about it being private property. You are also correct about not trusting a politician to regulate the networks. What you are missing is the whole monopoly angle, and it renders the rest of those arguments moot.
Proponents of net neutrality love to invent hypothetical scenarios of ways companies could abuse customers. As of TFA, that statement is non-hypothetical. You really need to put on a tin-foil hat, the government mind control rays are definitely getting to you. Yes, people ARE out to get you.
All you need to do is enter the intersection on the yellow. You can legally take your own sweet time exiting the intersection. This in fact occurs when there is a left turn lane with no left arrow. You enter the intersection, wait for it to clear (light may turn red while you're in the intersection, that's ok) then complete your turn.
One of the things I've been noticing is that I haven't been paying attention to the other cars in the intersection, only the light.
You could be right, unless either NVidia licenses their GPU IP to Intel, or is bought by Intel.
They created a small integrated ARM based processor (picture in article), so I take that as an indication of how they're trying to do the integration game. The question then becomes how high up the CPU ladder are they aiming?
You're being just as unscientific as the ones you're trying to discredit. How about doctors getting better at diagnosing autism? My brother wasn't diagnosed with Auspergers until he was over 18 years old. It was only recently that they started knowing what to look for.
I don't think that Thimerosal (Mercury, a heavy metal) is completely responsible for autism. My mom does because she vividly remembers the symptoms in my brother described by others of the reaction to the vaccine and the abrupt halt or even backwards development. There is most definitely a genetic component of it. This is why I think they're having such trouble tracking it down. They are still arguing over whether being cold makes you more likely to get a cold. The rest of us know they just haven't figured out what causes cold season, that it exists and just deal with it.
What is needed in this case is a real smoking gun. Something along the lines of a case study of identical twins, one that had vaccines and autism and one that didn't.
I disagree. Killer apps drive technology adoption. A properly coded ray-traced killer game (like say where a waterfall finally looks right) could cause ray-tracing adoption.
Dude, I play my games with my head stuck in the event horizon of a miniature black hole. Ever see that guy at the top of the score list with 95% headshots? That's me, or someone else that bought their black hole from Wormhole Extreme. 640HZ is just barely fast enough! Oh and we miss the other 5% just so we don't get banned for being bots.
IBM dominated the desktop market for years too. It was when they tried to force a product down the publics throat that was incompatible (Microchannel) that their PC sector completely and very rapidly bought the farm. When it became apparent that MCA would not take over, I thought IBM would simply die, but they were diverse enough that they didn't.
Microsoft has 3 main divisions: Windows the OS, Office, and XBox. The XBox is not a money maker, the other two are what finances Microsofts monopolistic attempt to kill Sony in the console market.
My point is this: If Microsoft doesn't diversify, XBox still loses money, and Vista adoption rate doesn't increase, they will only have the Office division keeping them afloat.
I'll give it a week before someone finds a manual and migrates their "expertise" to their new operating system. Awesome, bring it on. The reason Unix (and by extension Linux by copying a lot of its security features) is so secure is because that same group of "creatively minded" individuals was cracking away at Unix platforms in school. That is precisely the sort of counter-balance needed to keep the "I just want it to work" crowd from screwing up the security model.

You're right, but what this means is that a much smaller army than ours can bankrupt us.
This is precisely what is happening in Iraq.
Here's a crazy idea: Solder the GPU memory to the bottom of the board.
Yes, but we need 20 more moon missions to bring enough moon rocks back for it.
Ok let's talk about heat.

Problem is we'll need a space fountain to put it up there.

Well as they say, doing X should feel good, if it hurts you're doing it wrong.

Actually you don't. My brain implant works wonderfully and it lets me experience ultrasonics with the utmost in fidelity.
