Such a system could easily be developed with current technology. It just needs a little funding.
But that's not the problem. Eventually, one of the cars' computers would fail, someone would die (though probably a 99% reduction in overall deaths) and then the company behind it would get sued out of existance.
Transistors gain, or their ability to amplify a signal, increases with lower temperature. Since these cores operate at such low voltage, the transistors are operatin in subthreshold during most of their switching, so
voltage gain = 1/(n*k*T/q*lambda), where
n = subthreshold slope coeffient, depends on the process, usually between 1.3 - 1.6
k = Boltzmanns' constant
T = temperature, in Kelvins
q = electron charge = 1.6022E-19
lambda = related to AC effective resistance, depends on the process
Anyway, the gain is proportional to 1/T, so it will switch with more authority as temperature decreases. Also, the threshold voltage, or the input voltage where the transistor is "mostly" on, increases with decreasing temperature by about -2mV/deg. Therefore you must increase the supply voltage at cold temperatures.
If you get outside the big cities and the college and tech industry towns people are very unlikely to have as many choices as you have listed
A couple years ago, I would agree. But take my hometown for example. In northwest Kansas, population 5k, you can get ADSL, SDSL, and cable in town. For those in the country, you can have the wireless, boradcast from top a grain silo. Satellite is a bit pricey, but not unheard of.
And there isn't even a computer store for 75 miles.
Accuracy is how close you are to the right answer. Precision is how many digits you give in for answer. 3.1414141414114141 is very precise, but if the right answer is 42.0, then your not very accruate.
I had my on board audio go out (Asus) and Win2K went nuts. Stable for about 5 seconds, then would either reboot or BSOD. Had to install 98 to do any debugging.
However, I have always wondered how much of the signal is going into the (f2-f1) component, and how much of the power is in the other three frequencies you cannot hear? What kind of damage will this energy do over the long run?
In a system with perfect coupling between to sinusoidal waves, half the energy will be the (f2+f1) and half will be in the (f2-f1) frequecies. The two original freqcienies will have no energy.
The point of coupling will be were the two soundwaves intersect.
I did a rough calculation. My phone = 70 cm^2 Approx. solar energy, bright sunny day = 1000W/m^2, or.1W/cm^2 Approx. effiency of decent solar cell = 20% Covering my cell with cell's:) produces 1.4W Transimitting power of phone ~ 1W So, if I talk outside, with the backside of the phone pointed direcly at the sun, I can talk all day (but not night)
Yes. It'll work Place 99 (might need a few more) of them reversed-biased (i.e. "off"), and one forward-biased (i.e. "on") and make a big loop. All p-n junctions, not just silicon, can produce current. Obviously, some much more effieciently then others. Pain in the ass at work, when I have to probe a chip outside of its package. 60Hz noise from the every light in the room.

And the guy that brings them to the server room?
A Blade Runner?
And they're on wheels.

But why do CDs cost much more than cassettes??

Predict exactly how far down my stocks will go
does this mean that it needs to be VERY hot in order to operate
It sits where the AMD heatsink use to go.
OK, so what is 1 000 000 000 on that side of the water??
meters of mercury
I bet my neighbors will quit making noise at 3 in the morning when they know I've got this!
I'm not so sure, our AK-47 didn't to sh*t. Damn Texans ain't scared of guns.
I agree. And I wouldn't have wanted be there. But now we have a ground war of 5 days, instead of the traditional 5 YEARS.
I don't think these modern wars can get much shorter. The Gulf War was over before my popcorn got cold.
I was wondering if anyone here has ever gone to you local Wal-Mart or similiar retail computer dealer, rebooted the machine to DOS, and FDISKed it?

Better yet, tape two cats back-to-back (better yet, try ten cats!!!)
Protons. You need to remove protons. Three of them.
They have wings and teeth and are called bats.

100kW=134HP. I think I should bolt one onto my Camaro
I read somewhere that the Earth is in an intergalactic conservation zone, since mosqitoes are an endangered species.
I did a rough calculation. .1W/cm^2 :) produces 1.4W
My phone = 70 cm^2
Approx. solar energy, bright sunny day = 1000W/m^2, or
Approx. effiency of decent solar cell = 20%
Covering my cell with cell's
Transimitting power of phone ~ 1W
So, if I talk outside, with the backside of the phone pointed direcly at the sun, I can talk all day (but not night)

I believe that the less time politicians spend making stupid ass laws, the better.
