    Please try to remember that /. is the bottom of the computing world - literally.
    Apparently, most of /. lives in their mother's basements. Fortunately, they cannot reproduce there, except as mold cultures, as women do not venture into basements (at least not after the horror movies trained them to be afraid, be very afraid).
    And the commenting on /. shows it is full of bottom feeders.
    So go at linux like crazy.

  9. Re:My business plan includes world domination on Intel's Roadmap Includes 4nm Fab in 2022 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually, I have been privy to Intel planning for many years, as I used to work there. It takes many years to develop the next generation uP. That means that the 16 nm devices are already in initial design stages. Since the overall design process is such a big job, all the supporting hardware is a major part of the design process. Like the fab hardware. So, no, much of this roadmap is not a thought experiment, but already many projects with many members working on the pieces. Otherwise, the plan would never come together when its time has arrived.

    photons do not suffer from the issues of signal loss, signal quality, partial reflections, waveform distortion, EMI/EMC, crosstalk, noise, etc. electrons / holes do. Whole regions of current electronic simulation issues go away.

  20. Re:OK, so clue me in on Optical Transistor Made From Single Molecule · · Score: 1

    Actually, if the photon released is a different frequency than the one absorbed (lower frequency, less energetic), then the energy difference is transformed into heat (movement energy of the atom). The atom will speed up a little. Or the electrons jump out to a higher energy level.
    If the photon released is a higher frequency than the one absorbed, the atom will cool of, slow down, or the electrons will drop into a lower energy state.

  23. Re:RAID is *NOT* backup! on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 1

    Hey! You can get just as many crackpot wacko fanboy answers off google as you can off /. Don't sell google short.
    Wrong answers can be found everywhere, you do not have to work at it to find them.
    For example, hardware raid works great, reliably, and is fast. You will only see slowdowns when writing huge files from memory to disk, and exceed the memory on the drives, which these days runs to 4 or 8 meg. and the slowdowns, while measurable, are certainly not significant to the user.
    Software raid adds complexity that is visible to the user, and always slows down all writes. It may add a little reliability if you are using a reliable os. That means, of course, that Windows adds no reliability at all. Raid is to make low quality disks not loose data, by putting data on multiple disks, so when one disk dies, you know about it and can take steps. This effectively increases the quality of the disks. For more reliable storage, the first step is to buy more reliable disks. Common, consumer grade disks are not spec'd or designed to take a lot of fast head movement for long periods of time (overheating issues). Enterprise disks are. Enterprise class disk drives are more reliable. In the same way, hardware raid is more reliable than software raid. but if your data is important, you need to store it on a system running a reliable os installation. that would not be windows on a desktop, it would be a file server setup that is not running a lot of applications, just serving files. This improves your data integrity. You still need a backup method.
    Of course I am referring to a hardware raid solution from LSI (LSI, Dell, HP, IBM), not some fly-by-night vendor.
