that showers and dresses me in the morning, irons my noose, gets me in the car, argues with my boss while getting a good cup of joe out of the machine, drives me home. changes me again. Puts me in some bad boy threads, takes me down the local bar, orders (and PAYS) my drinks, chats up women and see's me home OK - with the woman (women?) - then makes sure I wake up the next day with no trace of regret or hangover.
Then we are talking.

Thank you AC. At least someone understands the real world unlike the majority of fanboys and geeks on here.
i'll burn karma here just to say why? Why? what ever happened to LucasArts? Monkey series, DOTT, Sam n' Max, Full throttle.... Did I ask Why? Why? *sniff* Come back Scumm... There's nothing to forgive!
Who cares about resolution? I can still read arial/times new roman/wingdings just as well and even with its soul sucking reg I aint getting the NYT anywhere else here in the UK.
I was in a similar situation around '99 when I was working for an embedded DSP software company riding the internet boom whilst being funded by a well know semiconductor manufacturer. This was so we could debug their latest DSP devices and write software for the mobile (cellphone) market at the same time. We were all promised to be millionares withint two years, but paid shitty salaries. Guess what? Management spent a shitload on glass walled offices and $700 chairs - but no-one remembered to schedule in any decent software to sell. I was the last to leave (of about thirty) before 'the cull'. Last thing I heard they were saving up for a padlock for the front door....
You are illegally parked on private property - You have 20 secodns to comply...20 seconds later (maybe less)...

Well if being pink is not being a redneck idiot with no idea (or gives a fuck) about what goes on outside their own borders, well then, why yes, I'm pink and proud.
Biggest does not equal best - by a long fucking chalk.
The USA is looking more and more like the bully of the world.
My karma be damned. I'm ashamed to look at this website with such idiots anymore anyway.
the problem as gate geometries get smaller is that the leakage current of the transistors increases - even while they are not switching - hence lots of dissipated power whilst doing nothing.
You can negate this to a certain degree using a process known as triple oxide to reduce this effect - the main drawback is this can slow down the switching speed. Also, it adds another level of complexity (and therefore cost and yield issues) to the manufacturing process.
As an ex hardware monkey now earning a living from marketing FPGA technology to other hardware engineers I couldn't put it better myself.
The best FAE's (or field applications engineers) are those who can see the smaller picture (the design detail if you will) and the bigger picture - then they get the link over to their customers.
If I didn't understand the technology I wouldn't be here for long.
Interesting point about the kidneys - I didn't know that. Whats that phenomenon called exactly - I'd like to look it up.
My blood control recently has vastly improved due to glargine and I am now seeing my bloods averaging around the 8 mark which should prevent more damage.
I volunteered for the trials of the implantable monitors here in the UK - unfortunately I am in the control group so don't get to live out my cyborg fantasies.
This is great news for me, I recently had an eye scan which showed the first signs of retinal damage after years of being diabetic... They reckon I have about ten years lefy so these guys need to get it up to at least JPEG resolution by then so I can still jack into my laptop and get my pr0n..;)

you forgot to RTFC;) - My main point was the amount of trolling/offtopic posting others were doing and not encouraging a serious discussion on something that truly does affect us all.
The technology I gave was a broad example - I dont think it would be a windows PC based thing etc etc... And of course I mentioned that yes, a lot of these things are available just not integrated anough yet.
'Basestation' - I dunno? Widget? Black Box? Whatever - it was not my intention to troll but to get more comments back like yours. Its something that needs to be talked about.
Rant over.
interesting point - which is all I wanted to see more of. I'm now off to mow some people down in my petrol driven car cos I've fallen asleep at the wheel;)
I see a lot of people scoffing here but were on the brink of the next revolution in personal transport here and nobody seems to be taking notice.
Just how long will it be before cars are wirelessly networked together, an onboard PC on each vehicle doing black-box, GPS navigation, localised proximity sensing and collision avoidance, parking, MP3 and entertainment etc - All of which we have the technology for now (but have not quite driven the cost out of yet)
When these vehicles are networked via a mesh system to a basestation this could be used to the greater good for traffic networking (ie using data to redirect away from traffic hotspots) and accident/emergency uses. Of course there's privacy issues too - all of which need to be discussed.
But if I see another 'linux won't crash' comment...
fine. OLED should come down cheap enough pretty quick. Just buy a (robust) controller box for the tuner/HDTV receiver/whatever and replace/upgrade/whatever the plug in screen (a standard connector would be nice)whenever required - at a much lower cost. Thats one way it could go anyway...

Another story about what Google *might* be looking to do... Anything else new going on in the world of tech?

I can't see this happening.
Eat PI, not read about it. Dammit.

80 nm? 60 nm? Surely they mean 65nm and 90nm...

Hopefully now the guy behind the counter wont look at me so funny when I ask for a pack of Trojans for my 'joystick'.
... it looks like /. is cacheing ZDnet.
Yeah weve seen this in the hardware industry too recently with articles being based on popularity contests rather than cold hard facts.

I would expect that with a lock picking workshop.
