what about microcode? or the "code" that's hardwired in processors since they began? such as "AND" circuits (logic "code") and "OR", "NAND", "ADD", "MULT", "SUB" (both with and without carry bits).
How about the "code" that fetches instructions and data?
dunno how knowing when plutonium is stolen translates to the delorean never going over 88mph....'cuz shoot...thought "where we're going, we need no roads"
man...if only we had "Mr. Fusion"...then we don't need to worry about neutrino detectors (unless those underpants gnomes find a way to use it to their advantage...then we need to worry). just pop in a six pack into it and call it good.
ummm...doesn't paypal's parent company eBay advise users not to click on links in email? And that they should manually type in the address (www.ebay.com) then go about their business? (eBay's security tip about email)

o crap....don't want to have a mutant Super-PETA ppl.
besides, this is for scientific research....not solely for entertainment like that roach-eating contest. (and for the record....roaches have been around for millions of years....they've survived the devastation that wiped out most other forms of life...they can surely survive if a few of their comrades get irradiated.)
I can't say it's no "gain"...as US companies will use outsource, their profit margins increase, stock price goes up, etc.
Sure, some industries in the US will go out...but then if history has shown us, that's usually what happens...and is replaced by another. Just like manufacturing and automotive industries have "changed"...so will tech; if you can't evolve to keep up with the times....maybe learning another language is the way for you to go.:D
and where did they go to get the groceries to make those lunches?
anyways, students are a different story...they are broke because it's very expensive to be in school here.
and as for foreign workers, they have to stay somewhere...and most of the "high end" companies will usually pay for their stay. And if you know how much rent is in the Bay Area....or LA area...in the good neighborhoods....well...u get the picture.
I wonder if they can't set up a satellite office/company in a country that is more friendly in terms of worker visas (Cananda or maybe Google's own island-country) and then "out-source" all their development to that other "Google" company.
If you think about it....allowing more H-1 visas would actually help to save more American jobs as those foreign hi-tech workers will live here and buy things, eat at restaurants locally (it's not like they will be flying back to their country of origin just to grab a bite to eat), buy services (phone, TV, etc.) locally as well as pay American income and sales taxes which gets pumped right back into the community. If not, companies will have no choice but to out-source or move those specific projects overseas if they can not find enough qualified workers locally, and that means the govt loses on tax income.
I can just see the Recording Ass. of America and it's movie counterpart, the Motion Picture Ass. of America using this Executive Order to get the assets of people who download (especially those they are "unsuccessful" in "settling" with) by claiming it supports terrorism or contributes to the instability of Iraq.
Another thing...I wonder if asshats will use this Executive Order against those in both the Congress and the Senate (as well as the protesters and critics) who speak out against the war or want immediate pull out (which to the eyes of some "proponents" will constitute to contributing to the instability and thus according to the XO, can get their assets frozen....)
man...it's like soaps....and it's hitting the fan; I better go buy myself a poncho or a hazmat suit.
Slashdot Mirror
am I the only one who thinks it's funny...and clever that they used the name "sporn" as opposed to "s-porn" or something similar?
I must be getting old I guess.
no...super computers, especially beowulf clusters (or even the petaboxes)...they are interlinked in some way.
besides, super computers are usually given the designation "cluster" or something of that nature and not the singular "machine"
don't think it even applies as a "small cluster".
it's like me taking two V8 muscle cars...duck-taping them together and saying I got a V16 "car".
vista or xp?
forget 9x!
is it me or do I see two separate mobos...which means it's two machines, 8 per machine in one box....not 16?
now...if it was 16 in one...now that would be amazing....otherwise...it's not...'cuz there was that other group that did 8 in 1 (aka...16/2 => 8/1)
it's not just about the CF to IDE (or CF to SATA) adapters but also the controller chip within the CF card as stated in the article.

Ironically, BBC (UK) mentions "cult-type" when mentioning some of scientology's activities.
either way, Germany doesn't recognize CoS as a religion....rather a cult.

except, it's a civil-case, not a criminal case.
I hope EMI isn't the only one that pulls their funding.
And that Congress declares the RIAA as racketeering bunch of a-holes....(under RICO).
gotta love /. justice.
maybe I'll patent that..."the system/method....."

There are some advantages (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC#Advantages_of_HVDC_over_AC_transmission):
- Undersea cables, where high capacitance causes additional AC losses. (e.g. 250 km Baltic Cable between Sweden and Germany[9]).
- Endpoint-to-endpoint long-haul bulk power transmission without intermediate 'taps', for example, in remote areas.
- Increasing the capacity of an existing power grid in situations where additional wires are difficult or expensive to install.
- Allowing power transmission between unsynchronised AC distribution systems.
- Reducing the profile of wiring and pylons for a given power transmission capacity.
- Connecting remote generating plant to the distribution grid, for example Nelson River Bipole.
- Stabilizing a predominantly AC power-grid, without increasing maximum prospective short circuit current.
- Reducing line cost since HVDC transmission requires fewer conductors (i.e. 2 conductors; one is positive another is negative)
Shoot, it's used in the US and UK (in the "Chunnel").Here's a list of notable places that use it:

what about the DRM "feature" that essentially made the original zune so...pointless and unwanted by many?
who says piracy is a bad thing?
It seems to be drumming up competitive pricing for the legit items.
Wish other companies will take note.
