You remember incorrectly. TEMPEST covers compromising emanations of any types, from teleprinters to LCD displays to blinkenlights to keypress sniffing. The most "famous" demonstration was van Eck and CRTs, which is probably what you remember.
Regular paperbacks are generally of noticeably higher quality than "Mass Market Paperbacks" (which are the small-ish versions sold in most supermarkets and such).
AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) is not the same as actual efficiency.
You're right, it's not. The AFUE number will always be lower than the "true efficiency" because AFUE measures average efficiency, not peaks. It's arguably a more useful and relevant measure of efficiency.
The purpose of the AFUE is to tell you that for ever dollar you spend on the energy source $0.97 is being used for heating and $0.03 is wasted (using a 97 AFUE).
Technically true, I suppose, but irrelevant and not at all its "purpose". AFUE has nothing whatsoever to do with the cost of the fuel being used AFUE simply measures how efficiently the unit converts fuel to heat. A 97 AFUE natural gas furnace converts 1 Therm of natural has into 97,000 BTU of heat. Whether natural gas is free or a million dollars per therm, the AFUE remains the same.
It takes into account the energy source NG being cheaper than LP which is cheaper than electric. A cheaper fuel source leads to a higher AFUE, but doesn't mean it's necessarily more efficient, just cheaper to operate.
False. Indoor electric baseboard heat has an AFUE of 100.
I read the article. The article is wrong. I was around when they started suing, as your UID shows you should have been. Here is a contemporary article in EE Times about the first lawsuit in 2000, against Hitachi. The article's wording makes it clear that this is the first lawsuit. This was big news on Slashdot in 2000, where an article from 2000 whose wording (and comments) also make it obvious that the lawsuits had just begun. Here is a slightly earlier Slashdot article about Samsng and Rambus whose comments also make it obvious that no lawsuits had begun yet.
Yes, it was in 2000. Rambus has only existed since 1990 and they didn't start suing people until 2000. Unless you're a teenager I don't see how you couldn't.
I'm interested in interacting with you, specifically. It's been the most entertaining conversation I have ever had on Slashdot. For a while I assumed you were trolling me but I went along with it because it was funny. Once I realized you were seriously either that stupid or that mentally ill I had to see how far down the rabbit hole you would take me. So far there's no end in sight and it's a great ride.
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? I think that might be the big one. Remember he/they own almost 3/4's of all the bitcoins mined
There are over 12 million Bitcoins in circulation. The estimates I have found for Nakamoto indicate about 1 million Bitcoins., though others have come up with as much as 1.5 million. Either way, that's obviously far from three quarters.
As for your first question, an interesting recent theory is Nick Szabo.
I love this little obsession you have with me and some mysterious "victims", despite the fact that I have stated clearly multiple times that I don't own bitcoin and don't give a shit about its value. It's amazing how inconvenient facts get caught in your reality filter because they don't match up with the boogeyman you're afraid of. Were you scammed at some point in your life? You have such an inordinate fear of being "scammed" in some way that you keep bringing it up. It seems to be a driving terror in every aspect of your thinking.
Of course there is. Have you already forgotten what your delusion was about? Your delusion was that you got to decide how the rest of the world uses the language.
Ironic since my entire point is that you are pretending things are what they are not
Not ironic at all. You had to spin your delusional tale so you can pretend that you are the only sane one and the rest of the world is crazy. You've maintained your delusion in the face of such overwhelming evidence than I can't imagine you ever giving it up at this point. I mean, I've already proved that pretty much everyone in the world refers to Bitcoin as currency so I don't expect there's any evidence on Earth that can shake your delusion.
Beer, Bitcoin, Bearskins, Baked Beans can all be Bartered but that does not make them "currency" unless your vocabularly is too small to contain the word Barter.
Oh, did you want to start over with your inability to understand the difference between bartering and currency? Barter is when goods and/or services are directly exchanged for other goods and/or services with no fixed value. A currency is a medium of exchange with a generally accepted value that is generally does not have any value beyond use in trade. You know, like a bitcoin. It has no use in and of itself, but it is generally accepted in exchange for goods and service.

Titanium has a strength to weight ratio of 288 kNm/kg and aluminum 214 kNm/kg. So yes, lighter for a given load and stronger for a given weight.
FUCK! China landed a probe on the moon. Dammit we haven't done a damm thing in ages.
You mean except for the two rovers that are currently driving around on Mars?
There was an X60 and an X60s which were laptops and an X60 Tablet which was actually a convertible and not a "pure" tablet.
Yes.
Anything from OpenCores
"...none of the software is known to contain backdoors or be designed to share users information without their knowledge"
The should have noted that a sense of humor does help.
I remember tempest being specific to displays.

I'm not going to sync my $DAYJOB calendar with Google.
Why not, exactly?
Regular paperbacks are generally of noticeably higher quality than "Mass Market Paperbacks" (which are the small-ish versions sold in most supermarkets and such).
Not anymore.

Maybe he wants them to line up in an orderly fashion to complain.
Modern natural gas furnaces reach 97% efficiency.
China has no debt? Really? China is no paragon of fiscal virtue, they're barreling down the road to financial ruin unless they do some significant restructuring.
They did not manufacture RAM at any point in time. What you have was made by a licensee.

Rambus never manufactured or sold RAM. They licensed patents that allowed third parties like Intel to make it.
Yes, it was in 2000. Rambus has only existed since 1990 and they didn't start suing people until 2000. Unless you're a teenager I don't see how you couldn't.
