SiC is meant as a replacement for GaAs in RF circuitry. SiC and GaN are the next generation semiconductors with much, much better thermal properties and max voltage than GaAs.
SiC is not meant as a replacement for Si on digital chips as far as I know, but I'm an RF electrical engineer.
Well, I'm glad to hear that. A friend of mine would be upset though. He thought that the ending was a perfect fit to the series. His opinion was that the universe according to HHGTTG was a cold and uncaring place where civilizations were wiped out without concern and randomness ruled. Only fitting that everyone dies for the same stupid bypass that started the whole series.
The cosmetic company is definitely going after the wrong party. And it is doing it the expensive, complicated way. The company should just hire a P.I. to tail the lady running the ebay auctions. When they find out which salon the lady is buying her product from the cosmetic company can just cancel their contract with them or sue them directly. The P.I. has got to be cheaper than a bunch of lawyers.
From the article:
The second reason that exercise is important is because it's the single best treatment to get your cortisol down. Cortisol is your stress hormone, it's the hormone that goes up when you are mega-stressed, it's the hormone that basically causes visceral fat deposition which is the bad fat and it has been tied to the metabolic syndrome. So by getting your cortisol down you're actually reducing the amount of fat deposited and it also reduces food intake. People think that somehow exercise increases food intake, it does not, it reduces food intake.
What is this guy talking about? Ever since I started regularly exercising I am more hungry, more often. And actually hungry, not the confusion of eating out of boredom when I wasn't in shape. Just look at marathon runners, they need to eat tons of food to give them the energy they need. What this guy is saying seems so counterintuitive. Can anyone explain what he means or he is just crackers?
Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't heat become a bigger issue when the circuit is smaller and therefore the transistors are more dense? Sure, the process might be operating at a lower voltage, but the density outweighs that. Note that with CPUs the heat issue has become more and more difficult with reduced process size. Now maybe because the Xbox chip won't be increasing its functionality and will therefore have a similar number of now smaller transistors the heat issue could be reduced. But when you move to a smaller process, that doesn't mean you can now spread smaller transistors out over the same area. One generally needs to keep interconnecting lines short to prevent parasitic resistance and capacitance problems.
I guess I can't say whether the heat issue would get better or worse because I'm not sure which factor would wind up dominating.
You obviously didn't read the article. The doctor has her take it in order to give her an appetite. Without it she doesn't eat. If you don't eat, you die. So the marijuana is keeping her alive, albeit indirectly.
Very true. A regular joe will get prosecuted for using marijuana even if her doctor says it is the only thing keeping her alive. So not only is she getting prosecuted while having health problems, the prosecution will make her health problems kill her.
The article gives their defense as "we didn't know it was our signs causing the debacle that we were filming", but their close proximity puts that in question.
If they are trying to ban things that cause violence then they should start with toilet paper. Check this out - a murder and an assult - both in the US and over toilet paper within a month of each other.

Well, there is something to be said about that too. The Rockefeller laws in New York State and similar laws in other states which created mandatory sentencing for drug offences have done a good part of the job of filling our prisons.
First time offenders can get put away for years for small drug possessions. The laws were created so that real criminals couldn't keep escaping conviction, but in addition a lot of people who could have had their involvement with drugs dealt with by treatment were instead put away for a very long time.
Who is it that has successfully framed this time as an era of high crime? Crime is at a 30 year low.
Just because the media likes to report stories about people doing bad things to other people doesn't mean it is happening more often. Information about far away places is more readily available these days and we are just hearing about it more often because we apparently like to hear about it. They wouldn't report it if it didn't get them higher ratings.
Damn it. Ronald Reagan makes up some BS about Mt. St. Helen's and people until eternity will think that it's true because a president said it.
"I have flown twice over Mt St. Helens out on our west coast. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that that one little mountain has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere of the world than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind that people are so concerned about." -- Ronald Reagan, 1980. (Actually, Mount St. Helens, at its peak activity, emitted about 2,000 tons of sulfur dioxide per day, compared with 81,000 tons per day by cars.)
Luke could forgive his father for what? What evil of DV's did Luke ever experience? Sure, Owen & Beru died, but not by DV's hand. All the other people were just statistics to Luke and he never found out that DV killed his mom.
Luke grew up without parents and simply wanted a dad.
It doesn't take much. Just tell them that you know about the committee's vote and how the unchecked power it gives is antithetical to the Constitution.
I think the difference is between links that were useful at one time and may be again and links to things that are "nifty" but you don't have time to look at right now or articles you thought were a good read and bookmark merely because you liked it. The latter two can pile up quickly.

I'm not asking why it needs insurance. My point is why does the government need to pay for its insurance? Why can't it pay for its own?
If it is cost effective, then why does it require $500 million in subsidies for risk insurance?

Because there are a lot of DoD contracts that have to go to US companies free of any partially or wholly controlling foreign interest.
Or does Halliburton just not do that kind of work?
Anyone got any information?
Actually, it has now come to light that their actions after the fiasco has started may have furthered the problem through willful inaction. See http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg ?articleid=181301 and make your own judgment call.

Alright! So when can I start getting bottles of tarantula sauce?
The FBI can afford to spy on Quakers, pacifists, and peace groups, but can't afford e-mail? WTF?
