There's a reason MS bought the company and hired Mark, he consistently puts out the most useful tools for in the trenches Windows diagnostics. Heck MS's PSS would routinely have you use his tools even before the purchase because nothing they put out internally was nearly as useful.
That was my thought too, the best thing we could do to slow down China's space program and sap some money out of their economy would be to let them steal the full plans for the Shuttle.
On a $/FLOP basis they get slaughtered by Nehalem-EX, but if you need flat out performance the Power7 system will be superior thanks to 2x more memory bandwidth per core and ~3.5x more interprocessor bandwidth. The basics for this type of comparison are Specfp_base, Specint_base for CPU performance and usually either SAP, TPC-C or specjbb for business logic comparisons.
Intel did 3.73 Ghz as the top end for Netburst (Xeon 5080) but it was a fairly poor performer on a MIPS/Watt basis. In fact the 5160 running at 3.0Ghz did about 33% higher Specfp and run at 80W instead of 130W for the 5080 (35.2 specfp_2000/watt vs 15.5).
Uh, this was run on ASCI Red, a 38,400 core Opteron based system with each node having a dedicated communication processor attached to a 3D torus for flat 1:1 communications.
It was supposed to be a tale of warning about the pitfalls of technology and big government, not a roadmap for where we should be heading. I swear there's a certain class of people that don't understand that concept or maybe they do and they just really hope they get to be the masters pet.
Yeah, I'm used to my Ford cruise controls which generally will pick an appropriate point to downshift to keep the speed rather constant and will sense the top of the hill and shift back up. My wife's Mazda with the same engine on the same hill will rev the engine like crazy and crest the hill at about 75 in a 50 mph zone. I basically don't use cruise on her vehicle unless I'm on an interstate highway.
I think you means *IF* it gets real extensions with the ability to remove content rather than hide it. It might be added to a fork of chromium but I'm not so sure Google will ever get around to implementing it on the official Chrome.
More like as a replacement for the ceramic ballistic inserts needed to obtain class iv ratings for body armor. This might be very useful for the military as the ceramic tiles generally only provide single shot protection as they shatter with the first round. That's where price comes in, the Dragon Skin body armor is already available for ~$5,000 for class iv rating.
Constellation was largely a make work program for white collar workers. The Ares heavy lifter offered very little over the Delta IV Heavy and was just going to greatly increase the per launch cost by amortizing the huge development cost over a fairly limited number of launches.
We're going to be at 100% Debt to GDP by the end of this fiscal year most likely. And that's a GOOD thing, because it was the only way to halt the slide into depression that was already in motion when the Dem's came to power, thanks largely to the laissez faire regulation policy of the Replublicans. Putting people who believe that the government is incapable of helping in power just allows them to prove their own hypothesis by doing everything they can to make sure that it doesn't function. If they actually shrunk the government instead of just sabotaging it I might give them credit for at least sticking to their principals, but the last administration to actually shrink government was vilified for it (Carter) and his "conservative" followers all greatly increased the size of government while simultaneously decreasing its ability to actually help the American people and removing taxes on the top 1% of earners to actually pay for it. Every single rich person whos advice I consider worth listening to thinks it's stupid how small a tax burden they have. Warren Buffet for one has publicly stated that it's insane that his marginal tax rate is almost half that of his secretary.
Double patterning is really the only solution unless someone comes up with a radically new process since the max aperture in water (1.35) has already been reached. Holographic lithography, electron beam, and other techniques have been proposed but none has been commercialized because of the incredible costs that will be incurred developing the entire ecosystem of machinery and software to use them. Intel's already announced that they will be using multi-patterning down to 15nm since EUV won't be ready in time.

Uh, it hasn't been third party for a long time.
Nope, it was reborn as the MS diagnostic and recovery toolset. link

Other than the glass cockpit and new russian derived turbopumps most of the tech on the Shuttle is ~40 years old.

Sorry, Red Storm, my duh.
With Darwin you can get the Unix part of OSX free for download.

Look at $/transaction, they are almost the same, and that's what matters.

ASCI Red was upgraded twice for a performance increase of 685%-564% depending on if you want to talk Peak or usable.

No, Falcon 9 and the Dragon module should allow for manned missions to the ISS.

That's exactly what HP does for the iLo boards on their Proliant servers.
Uh, I've never owned a car that did that... I would consider such an action to be a bug instead of a feature.

Or even 100k+ users since MS is in all the biggest companies in the world.

Flash 10.1 gets rid of most of the problems for me since it's not nearly so bloated or CPU intensive.

Falcon 9 plus Delta IV Heavy = Constellation at a fraction of the cost.
