>These 30pW sleep mode CPUs will allow things to go to the next level of minaturisation, but will need reduced cost and will need to prove that they are reliable
And also, will require that the sensors reduce their power consumption too. A complete system consists of more than just a processor and a battery.
I'm a fan of the PIC10F myself. Used it in a few magic tricks for a guy in vegas. You'd be surprised how much processing power magicians pack these days:o)
I once worked with one of the designers of the Sinclair ZX80 computer. He claimed that adverts were placed in magazines showing mockups of the product, and orders were taken before they even started designing the hardware.
So maybe it's only fraud if you fail to eventually deliver:o)
I can see you put a lot of thought into that reply.
No, it's not ok. But I'm certainly not going to be offering any sympathy to anyone who was stupid enough to pay for one.
If a stranger came up to you in the street and offered you a seemingly great deal on a new product, asked for your credit card details and promised to drop it round next week, would you give them to him?
If you would, I have a great product that you are going to love. Just post your credit card details here - I'll keep them secure - and I'll post it to you next week.
"PCI doesn't support that since it's oriented towards busmaster DMA where the controller is on the card so you need a sideband connector so the old Dos games can run unmodified. At some point distributed DMA started to be supported PCI bridges, so the Dos application could write to the DMA controller but a PCI soundcard could catch the write and emulate it with busmaster DMA. But in the first release of PCI you needed a sideband connector so that old Dos games could use ISA DMA. Then again, I suppose if Creative had got it right then DDMA would have been a mandatory part of PCI from the start."

>They're handed down through families
Blimey. How long are your seasons over there? Or are you from a family of fruit flies?
>Well I have never seen P2P used for anything legitimate.
BBC iPlayer.
>my next phone will almost certainly be an HTC Kaiser/TyTN II.
I'm so out of touch. I thought that was a pop group.
>Anybody have any idea what division of SNC is working on this?
Yea, it's the "Weapons of Mass Subjugation" Division.
I heard profits are up.
There is one persistent son of a bitch on their forum, Joe, who seems to be their nemesis. I wonder what his angle is.
Other than that, I like their approach - involve the community *really* early on.
Apart from Joe.
Or if I see a crime being committed while I walk down the street?
Yep, it's mad. Best option - leave the state, and work somewhere normal.
> And save the environment a little bit?
That is one of the sanest postings I've come across on slashdot. So why is it marked as a troll?
You'll be wanting to check this out then.

>If it works and you don't blow yourself up, let us know
Unfortunately when it does fail he wont be able to get back and tell you, because it will have burnt his house down with him in it.
I'd mod you funny and insightfull, if the slashdot system supported it :o)
No, it runs an age old Operating System called "Main Loop".

You're a perl programmer then?
Yes, but you don't park your plane in the high street on a saturday night. Here in England, that car would be naked within an hour.
I think their fabric is a little more advanced than plastic sheet and sticky tape :o)
Wow, you must have posted that on a v1 iPhone.
The original post was misleading. This is not a video card, but an FPGA development platform that has some video output capability.
:o)
The developers must be cursing slashdot at the moment

Easy. They're not his millions. They're yours

>People don't *like* having their homes burglarized.
The word you are looking for is burgled.
Burglarized is when someone breaks in and redecorates.

Duh. Bye bye video.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Jesus, could you say that in english now?
