It defenitely should be in the past tense, it happend 800 milion years ago! To us it looks like it will continue for a few milion years, it probably did finish more than 700 milion years ago...
no need to invent that, my 3 year old car already does that. Even the Ford Explorer, I had before, was not that bad in this respect, you only needed to switch of the overdrive and you would continue with the same speed on a steep mountain, while every one else droped to slower and slower speeds...
Ha, Intel is not the only one. There are at least 3 other fabs/companies, if not more, that have memories 50% smaller than the previous node. Moore's law is not dead, and we do not need Intel to proove that...
I agree with PP that the hydroactive suspension is great. I had the hydroactive-2 in my XM and now I have the hydroactive 3+ in my C5. It is an excelent suspension, but it is not perfect. The system gets adjusted by a computer, however the new BOSE system claims to be totally computer controlled. This gives the possibility for far more control over each wheel than the system Citroen is using now. I hope that Citroen is also looking into this sytem. Maybe their next "voiture" will be even better
Your logic is faulty. For example you need to connect two pieces of wood together. You have a few options and they all get the job done but there is a difference in quality:
1) use hammer and nail - jobs get done but you can not change things without any damage
2) use a simple screw - you can undo it, as long as you do not damage the screws head, which is likely to happen.
3) use a phillips screw - much higher change to get the screw out later without damaging anything!
And thats the difference between for example C, Perl and Python...
...relocates a significant number of IC fabs and design centers to the USA employing primarily American workers...
It is a free world, at least should be in your part of the world, and many people are fighting for it to keep it that way. So why are you not starting a foundry bussiness your self? If you think you can make and a better fab by hiring more Amercians, please go ahead. As far as I know the world works the way that the best and most cost effective manufacturer will win (this is where I am fighting daily, and I am not located in Taiwan). And if it is that important/strategic for your economy I bet you would be able to get a few hunderd million dollars from your government to support this.
My room mate one day was really angry with his girl friend and picked up the TV and trew it at here. She was not harmed. The door where the TV landedn and the TV itself however were dammaged.
The CRT was still in one piece so I decided to give it a try. When I opened up the case I saw that the PCB was broken. I put the parts next to each other and started soldering wires between all connections of the two parts. After an hour or so, I powered it on and it it worked! Unfortunately I could not repair the hole in the door.
My room mate ended up marrying her, and as far as I know they have 3 kids and still married happely...
When I was young we connected a large capacitor from a washing machine dirtecly to the mains (220V). Suddenly the whole house went dark... The main fuse was blown. After replacing the fuse every thing still worked. The cap was not blow, which we had hoped for;-(
4GB limitation on workstations? What brand of station are you using? OK, I know many are limited at 4G (or 8G). But we are daily dealing with files/product databases that are over 4GByte in size. And we have workstations that can handle these files. They have 32 or 64GByte of memory on board!
And yes I would love to have 10Gbps network on those machines. Now when I load such a file I can go drink a cup of coffee. ( No, I can not go surf porn, we have limited internet access:-( )
We are happy that you are willing on working on this important issue within the open source cumunity. We will send you scanned images of every note shortly.
Maybe you missed the announcement:
NVIDIA Corporation recently introduced its new GeForce 6800 GPU (codename NV40). Among the new features of this GPU are 64-bit floating point texture filtering and blending and support for the D3D vertex and pixel shader 3.0 standard, enabling full dynamic branching and looping in programmable shaders.
I work for a big semiconductor companie. For our 120nm process we have core voltages of 1.2V. For the 90nm you have a choice, either 1.0V or 1.2V depending how much static leakage you are willing to take.
The max voltage depends on your oxide thickness in your transistor. So you want high speed take the thinner gate oxide, but you will have more static leakage. You want to be even faster, lower the treshold voltage, but you will get more leakage.
Far the fast process option the gate, in a 90nm process, will be more like 65nm. Even more leakage.
All this together will already dissipate a few Watts and the chip is not doing anything yet.
When you want to go real low power, for example for your cell phone, make the gate 90nm, take the thicker gate oxide, increase the threshold voltages, and most important: do not run at high clock frequencies when not needed and you battery will last many hours.
It's the photographer that takes a picture not the camera!
The camera is just a tool. Give joe doe a 12Mpixel camera and he still makes snap shots. Give a profesional a 1Mpixel camera and he can make good pictures. Sure they would be technical better with a decent multi mega pixel camera with high dynamic range and litle noise etc.
I am not going to buy myself a new camera unless I have proven myself that my current camera is limiting my creativity.... unless I finally switch to digital because I am going to spend to much on film...
The mechanics who say it needs to be changed every 3000 miles are just trying to rip me off!
Yes, they are! I only have to change my oil every 20000 (twenty thousand) kilometer, which is like 12500 miles. Four times longer! Ok, they are using more expensive oil, but it will be more cost effective for YOU in the long run.
sorry to be OT. Must be because of all the stress I have in my High Tech (non IT) job.

6000mhz = 6000milli Hertz = 6 Hertz!!!
It defenitely should be in the past tense, it happend 800 milion years ago! To us it looks like it will continue for a few milion years, it probably did finish more than 700 milion years ago...
...to the people you know.
oh wait, everyone is living in a big city and do not know their neighbours...

with your budget you probably could play for excatly 1 second...

Please educate me if I am wrong.

No it has not, i just searched googel.fr for "mydoom google" and found a link to this page....

Actually I don't care if qsdf exists or not, just wanted to make you see beyond your normal vision.
I myself did not know about azerty keyboards until I bought one by accident. For THAT you can call me a moron.
I am using a "azerty" keyboard, does qsdf.com exsists as well?
No, not always. Sometimes 2 lefts will do and sometimes you need 5 or more lefts to make a right...
RTFA, it was a fab excursion, in other words some problem during manufaturing which was not caught by their tests and or QA.
Like a wind mill that can deliver 3mW, or a calculator that uses 10MW... ugh

micro drives will not work at high altitude....
For sure they build the bridge faster than planned.... Was that not also the case with the airport?
Apperently they do support 64 bits fp....
