Ah, but with Intel, now you have to choose between dual cores and HT (or pay a lot for the super gaming processor). And choose 2M over 1M cache over 2 processors with 1M each cache, et cetra. Even in the medium priced processors.
Experience here shows the servers I deal with running Linux 2.6 kernel/Apache/MySQL and dual Xeons up to 6GB is that turning HT on as well reduces performance. When a CPU fan failed and one CPU had to be temporarily removed, however, there was a clear benefit turning it on with the single processor.
Again, to answer things seriously, it seems rather basic that lower nicotine cigarettes would be consumed in greater quantity. As the tar and combusted materials are the cause of cancers and most other lung diseases, ergo such low-nicotine cigarettes would be more dangerous.
Yep, unfortunately, there's no way humans could produce anywhere near enough radioactive materials to feed into the Earth's subduction zones, to make up for the loss of fuel as natural radioactive isotopes decay.
More like holding the operator of the cigarette-making machine and the farm employee who harvested the tobacco liable, while ignoring the cigarette company and farm owner. I hope we live in a society where that won't happen. Not confident.
You're leaving out the lower levels. I take it CMM-1 is the level where if the software suddenly causes monkeys to fly out of the butt of the user, that it is perfectly within the specification?
This would be concentrating the sound in a specific volume of water (presumably coinciding with the torpedo warhead), rather than broadcasting it in search of echoes like sonar. Ideally concentrating it so strongly that most of it would be lost in heating the water.
There are limits to how intense a sound can be in water, IIRC dolphins approach that using their sonar to stun prey. I don't know what humpback whales' opinion is of pistol shrimp, though.
Eventually, this technology will be implantable. If not incorporated into the beer itself. Nanosensors and data aggregators will form a network in and about you, measuring everything from mood to liver enzyme capability, capable of automatically signalling the bartender based not only on the emptiness of the glass, but the emptiness of your glass, belly, wallet, hopes, and/or bladder.
Star Trek TOS did the alien Nazis first. Remember Spock giving McCoy the scientific method of putting on his overtight boots - "point your toe and push"? For that matter,they did 1920's gangsters, the Cooms vs. the Yangs, and Ancient Rome never fallen too. TOS wore that theme out, even using the unlikely "parallel evolution" multiple times.
When I bought one for my Corvair Corsa it was to assist with the fact that it needed 93 Octane unleaded at minimum, which was only available by mixing Union 76 racing gas in at the time.
The downside was that I found it was built for one carburetor and the car had four.
Is the total gain in efficiency of the engine, due to the balanced combustable mix of hydrogen and oxygen added, enough for whatever reason -- from the additional energy during combustion to slowing of the remaining cumbustion by water recreated in the burning, anything -- to make up for the loss in the generation of the electricity and splitting of the water?
Seems unlikely, but possible, since the internal combustion engine is so inefficient as is.
The one that works for myself is a Cables Unlimited brand "USB-2400" "USB to PS/2 Adapter", one USB plug for the computer with embedded electronics, two 2 inch cables to female PS/2 connectors color coded the usual keyboard->violet, mouse green. USB 1.1
It resolves things. Jornalism is about exciting people into anxiety about whatever important (preferably unsolveable) problems or stupid crap is available at the time to do it with.
Check back through your profile to for another reply to this in a day or so when I'm back at that (work) machine and can check. If you're in the SF Bay area it is one Fry's Electronics has, in a clear round plastic package.
Surprised yours failed, they should just be USB-powered devices that can read a PS/2 keyboard or mouse or both. Make sure you aren't using the PS/2 mouse only kind.
I think the Monorail computer manufacturer went broke before they appeared for sale. I surmise an early purchasing error added a couple of decimal points to their keyboard order; there seem a couple of orders of magnitude more surplus than whatever number of computers they managed to sell.
I first bought six for about $5 each back around the year 1996 or so. I found another huge stack of them in 2000 in a computer store in a city 1500 miles away from where I got the first batch, spent $30 for a dozen. Google for "monorail keyboard" yields that they now seem to go for $12, except the hopeful seller who wants $61.79 for a refurbished unit.
In any case, I've gone through four in that time and are using three, they're tough little things. One now works through a PS/2 to USB adapter, I suspect all will by the time I run out of them around the year 2020.

So they're a little bit hot, I see that as a good thing. Now you can cook breakfast on your case, without ever having to move!
That's nice, Intel could use reasons their power consumption might be considered a good thing.
If they get a good enough set of them, perhaps they can adopt a more descriptive name for the CPU, like "Oxyacetylon".

Dhamned if I know.
Thank ghod my couch isn't as interested in attacking skunks as my dog is.
wow. Clucks to be you.

No, that just makes you an apostle.
And where's The Starlost???

Heh, read "Brave New World" (Huxly) again. He was zipper-obsessed, it being new technology replacing buttons at the time of writing.
The zippers on Lenina's spare pair of viscose velveteen shorts were at first a puzzle, then solved, a delight. Zip, and then zip; zip, and then zip;

There are plenty of board to meet that request, most very small, inexpensive, and with soldered in CPUs.
I think it boils down to:

OTOH, biological weapons have the potential to cause more deaths than a nuclear war would. If not as many broken windows.

Yah, the Gossamer Albatross has a wingspan of over 29 meters and it runs on the leg muscles of a human.
This is a USB keyboard plus USB mouse adapter.

I've still got 11 unused Monorail PS2 keyboards.
