    hybrid integrated circuits are still used in micro and millimeter wave systems

    synonymous for me, with IC and monolithic integrated circuit....but then I'm old

    it's even more fascinating to realize Japanese scientists and engineers are extremely gifted at optimizing and refining. I'm curious what improvements and innovations they can make to the ulam-teller system every other country with thermonuclear weapons use.

    nothing to do with being cloud based or not, just proper attention to good systems operations practices was lacking.

    even not doing the obvious and blocking all newly created accounts after certain time is just incredibly irresponsible.

  7. Re:Computerworld is a little slow on Unisys Phasing Out Decades-Old Mainframe Processor For x86 · · Score: 1

    I've never used any Unix or Linux on IBM (or Amdahl) mainframe, that's a weird use case that I couldn't imagine cost justification. Big iron Unix boxes are now kicking the mainframe's butt in database benchmarks.

    causal ones also less healthy for target by not promoting elevated heart and breathing rates and fleeing. Role of increased mental stimulation in helping staving off neural senescence or senility can't be ignored either

  9. Re:Sustainability on Elon Musk's Solar City Is Ramping Up Solar Panel Production · · Score: 2

    none of the doping materials in common use for these high efficiency cells are really "rare" either. Indium is probably the "rarest", and there is three times as much ore of that as silver on this planet. You'll see some sensationalist investor "doomsday" reports of exhausting Indium by 2017 or so, which are just rubbish disconnected from reality.

    well deserved if the efficiency is even 20 percent; however if not then yes it's just a free hummer

    completely wrong, most of the energy is lost to the atmosphere, the birdshot will rain down with much less energy than required to even break the human skin. Even high powered rifle bullets come down at 250-325 feet per second, which either causes bruise or is just enough to break the skin.

    in short, real world once again trumps over-educated person with incomplete knowledge who thinks they know something.

    never in three decades working with IBM mainframes have I ever seen bugs in emulation of instruction set, did you have "whippy-shit" programmers who were replying on some of the undocumented or unsupported "combination" instructions?

  13. Re:The difference is obvious on Chinese-Built Cars Are Coming To the US Next Year · · Score: 1

    we did that, the american car makers went "we can make any kind bad crap and the people *have* to buy it, hahaha!"

    hence came the massive influx of foreign cars, and then the foreign car makers started plants here.

    so wonder no more

    birdshot fired at near vertical angle doesn't come down hard enough to hurt someone, and your fire scenario is just laughable. fret much?
