Score: 3, Interesting? Well, at least you didn't get an Informative. You have three links... one is to fiction, so we'll skip it. The two that are to real items have nothing at all to do, shockingly, with the point you're (failing at) making. Both use standard coil/magnet arrangements instead of piezo crystals. Have you ever thought about how much sound energy needs to be traveling through a piezo crystal to generate, say, 1W?
Channel 13 is even better, and in the US at least you're basically guaranteed to not get interference from other wifi points, either. It is a bit of a hassle to update the firmware on some cards, though.
Except that all the cisc chips you mention can be easily emulated (and some can be simulated effectively!) on any modern risc or cisc chip. Java bytecode runs just fine on custom hardware, but isn't too well suited for morphing; if you're running on hardware, you might as well use a real stack machine. x86 is the only cisc instruction set that's within a factor of ten or so of the performance of the leading processors (actually, it's within a factor of one).
The thing is, if you're giving up x86 compatibility, there's no reason morphing is needed. ARM and PPC run fine without morphing; in modern sparc and mips, maybe you'd want to magic away the delay slots, but they don't really hurt anything... only the baroque CISC architectures gain any significant advantage (even in theory) from morphing.
The batteries are roughly the same quality, but of course the bigger laptops have batteries with larger capacities. The iBooks also seem to have the same quality batteries as the alBooks, as far as I can tell.
Where the heck did you go to school? You say professor, so I assume you're not talking about high school or anything... why would you ever hand in a physical floppy, cd, or whatever? Why not just use electronic submission?

In theory, zero compressibility is still impossible.
It checks your tool chain, takes about 4 hours (assuming you know assembly, but not the machine's boot process), it gives you ground from which to start other stuff, it let's you say you're building 'from the ground up', and it gives you confidence by doing something easy.
Actually, the extra ram pads are because they used the same motherboard in the developer boxes, which have extra ram for debugging / allowing less optimization reasons.
Exactly. So we don't blame the physics exactly because it makes more sense to blame Intel for making design choices that don't reflect real-world priorities.

Well, at least you have thought about it. Basic principles of physics may escape you, but I admit, you lived up to my original standards.

co-rec or pre-rec?

We can just train 'em to follow power lines...

The small motorcycles hardly even scratch your paint, don't worry too much about them. And most of the stains are water-soluble.
A* isn't so bad in assembly. RB is more of a pain. Working on a rendering engine (well, geometry generator, rendering in HW) in assembly now.
Well that's the funniest comment on slashdot this week. +5.
This explains why most Java programmers are men and lesbians.
Don't you think that can be explained by the fact that most people are men or lesbians?
I spent some time online during the blackout in new york, just for kicks. Sat out on the street, let people check their e-mail.

wuh-wuh-wuh!

Wait, you can win?
My god! You achieved the coveted +5, No Modifier mod... the only mod more sought after than +5, Troll!
On February 3rd of every year, people will look back on your post in fond remembrance.
See, I already own Windows
You mean, you already license it.

Try Altivec. You'll enjoy it, once you figure out how amazingly cool vperm is.
Personally, I think its cool that the x86 architecture is still at or near the top of the heap
Then you must not do a lot of assembly programming for it...

Use mod_narcissus to connect to yourself, maybe?
