I (a software guy) brought up this idea in the late 70s to a friend in hardware (I think he was at HP at the time). He figured the problem would be heat dissipation. He wasn't a chip designer though.
Whenever there is nothing on TV (like, say, 99% of the time) my TV is basically a computer display for various things from entertainment to man pages, i.e. whatever the tuner is tuned to, I don't know.
To make matters worse, my remote is kinda wonky and sometimes changes channels by itself, which is why I keep it pointing to the wall whenever I watch TV (or rather, whenever it changes the channels because I forgot, change it back to what I wanted to see and THEN point it to the wall). So it's quite possible I "watch" Spongebob and Big Boobs Bazinga back to back.
Now profile THAT!
So you might be watching SpongeBob with your wife and and ad will pop up asking "Would you like to watch Teenage Enema Nurses again"?
In 1998 or so they recommended the Mercedes 320 ML SUV. IIRC they said it was one of the best things they ever tested. I bought one partially based on the recommendation.
The next year they said Mecerdez-Benz products were so shoddy they advised people not to buy them. And they were right the second time, my car was a POS. I'm pretty sure it was really a beta test version for working the bugs out.
I wonder if the VCs would be interested in a machine that extracts juice from a bag. I think it could sell for about $700 and the bags of juice for $10 each. It's connected to the Internet of course and you can't squeeze the juice bags by hand.
No, you're perfectly safe to speak out--as long as it's in agreement.
No, you are allowed to disagree as long as you follow the Code of Conduct. That is, you disagreement may not be discordant with the general consensus or groupthink. So you may disagree as long as your disagreement is in agreement with everyone else.

GEMSA is currently trying to get a patent on stupidity to protect itself.
They should be checking the DNA of their gut bacteria.

You're right. Thorium to the rescue.
Well, except in the US.
I think a more obvious question is what are the odds that a guy named "Minnich" discovered "Minix" running on the CPUs?
Maybe H-1B visa from India?
I am starting a new protest movement - CAT.

He is probably already getting job offers from some Three Letter Agencies.
Ask Wells Fargo how to do it.
And they will emit error codes that no human can understand. Oh wait . . .
Of course the other other missing half is the antimatter.
There is only one statement: switch (and no break). It executes all cases at the same time.

I would have thought it was full of spaghetti and meatballs.

I wonder if Satoshi is a US citizen. If so, why does the NSA have all of his communications squirreled away forever?
They had to close the JDK in order to keep it open. You know, like "We had to destroy the village in order to save it".
Yes, all disagreements must be pre-approved.
