The critical mass of plutonium is 10 - 100 kg. (I assume weapons grade plutonium would be more towards the 10kg range). I would split it up into 5kg bars and do a few trips. If there is a crash or whatever it wouldn't go critical. And it's not enough for a bomb is someone nicked it. 5kg / 19,816 kg/m^3 in cm^3 is ~ 250cm^3 which is 5 by 5 by 10 cm. Pretty strange that the entire consignment is smaller than a shuttle case.
This is true but most of the delay and power consumption in a new age system is due to wires (which become shorter and thinner). Wire delay has been the principal delay in most designs since 2001.
Woops. Yeah youre right. I just have the 1billion number in my head. My research group leader keeps going on about 1 billion transistor chips and how we can waste^H^H^H^H^H use them. He says neural nets. I say multiprocessors grids.
Pretty simple. Of cause if you drop the dimention the power consumption decreases. Think about the capasitence. The only reason why people think process reduction doesn't reduce power is because your speed increases and the number of components per chip increases. If you have the same crappy design on your new tech and run it at the same speed you will see a reduction in power consumption.
They could just say "Clock gating". I love it when a technical group has to talk to non technical jurnalists who report to other technical groups. Something gets lost in the middle step.
I dont get it. 70Megabit ~= 10 Mbyte. Thats not that big. Also this would mean each bit uses 14 transistors. I think they mean megabyte and each bit uses ~2 transistors.
I got about 1 Watt from my electric hamster but I think you could get much better from the real thing. 1 watt is enough to power a few LEDs. (Or an asynchronous microprocessor)
Can anyone remember an old Amiga games called Pushover? Sponsored by Quavers? Or Zool not only being covered with advertising but even came with its own Lolipop
Yes it will. They have included an ARM7 processor on it (doubled the speed too) in order for it to be backward compatable as well as the ARM9 for normal operation.
There is an 8 minute wait to download the game from the severs provided but you can instead get it from your favorite p2p. I found mine on edonkey (mld) just search for "mmdsetup.exe" for Maniac Mansion and "fanadv_zak2.exe" for Zak McKracken. About 16 sources of each.
Thats not the only problem. Cadence needs all manner of old software like csh... CSH!! I mean WHY?!? Why cant they just write sh ? And why can't they correct the bugs arising from new versions of csh? It is much more painful to even think about it. We are working on it but it may take a few weeks. I made a new machine and installed 7.2 on iit today so we can get it orking and migrate each part one by one. It sortof feels like installing Windows 95 in 2004.
The sparcs are good at _NOTHING_. They are really awful. The reason we use them is becuse cadence runs on them and nothing* else. We are currently trying to get cadence to run on linux but the only version supported is RedHat 7.2. Anything above that fails. We are getting desperate to run it on something else.

Notice how both guys in the pictures have false teeth? Maybe they got their heads kicked in for wearing rather geeky mp3 players.

Oops wrong link for the critical mass. It should be this one

I stand corrected

Actually reducing transistor size by 30% has a double inpact on the heat dissaption reducing it down by half (70%^2).
I dont get it.

Is this the keyboard? because it doesnt seem to have extra keys. But it does have the tux logo and its from cherry.
Yes it will. They have included an ARM7 processor on it (doubled the speed too) in order for it to be backward compatable as well as the ARM9 for normal operation.
Here are the tables of results for notebooks and desktops
My idea(nsfw) didn't turn out well.
I got 40 MHz out of mine

*Nothing reasonable anyway
It is running the C versions
