Don't be fooled by these companies that want to "help women". All they really care about is increasing the number of qualified workers. That means they'll get better quality for cheaper due to the higher competition for the same number of jobs.
My CEO keeps spewing this crap about there not being enough EEs in America so they "have to" outsource. There's plenty of us here. We just want too much money.
But what about heavy television advertising on kid dominated (MTV) channels? You can't advertise pr0n on airwave based channels (damn, the previews are always the best anyway). Is it legal to advertise Mature rated games on FCC regulated space?
I get sick and tired of all these hardware nerdz acting like they're electrical engineers (which I happen to be).
The out of a flop, thru a logic cloud and into the next flop is determined by 1) the output resistance of each logic gate, and 2) the capacitance (load) that is driven.
The output resistance of a fet goes up when temperature goes up. This is why cooling your processor allows it run faster.
However, there is a limit. No matter how much you cool your proc, it'll never go to 0 resistance.
The amount of heat produced by your proc doesn't determine the speed bin it went into. The "fastness" of the batch of wafers that die was cut from determines the speed bin. Fet threshold voltages drift from wafer to wafer (and die to die within a wafer). Higher thresholds = slower fets.
Heat is proportional to Capacitance*Voltage^2*Frequency.
Note that fet resistance isn't in that equation.
I'm working on a similar home-grown project. Since it's not an email client or web browser, I say forget about the way things have been done in the past and what the user "expects" and MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY. Make sure you understand the way the user will actually use it for day to day tasks and absolutely minimize the amount of mouse gymnastics to get that job done. Sacrafice ease of lesser used features to maximize efficiency of the most often used features.
I absolutely despise Dia for exactly this reason. They make zooming in and out and panning around a total PITA just to make it "compatible" with the way the Gimp and Gnome in general does things.
I use Cadence's layout and schematic editor at work every day, and though their software sucks ass in general, they've done an excellent job making their layout and schematic editors quite efficient.
I've found that the most headache-free way to dual boot my Win2k/Gentoo system is to put GRUB on a floppy.
Floppy in = Linux
Floppy out = Win2k (Q3 only)
So I use mine almost daily.
I wish CF cards would hurry up and take over though.
"I doubt it will stop any real hackers from getting to a site's DB as that would still need to be r/w."
Why? Just take the ethernet card out of the DB computer.

Don't forget to hold down the shift key (Firefox) while you bang away on the reload button.

Someone should make a Celestia module for this like they did posthumously for the crater maker that sneaked by a few months ago.

Pac Man and Donkey Kong?!?! Those were weenie games. Real men stacked their quarters on a Defender/Stargate or Tempest or Sinistar.
Anyone see Red Planet? (I actually don't think anyone did; it wasn't tooo bad).
I'm thinking the name of the protocol will begin fire and end with wire. Wow, that even rhymes!
