I live in the California Sierras with 100' foot Pondarosa Pines in my backyard. I fly and drive all around. I'm seeing a few dead trees, but nothing like 1/3.
Intel, maybe.
AMD, being the shifty SOB's they have to be will happily stab both Intel and Microsoft in the back for a 15% market share. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that any new AMD processor in the next 5 years will run Windows 7 with minor to none tweeks.
Potential employee sees startup with perceived massive growth potential. Potential employee perceived massive personal wealth increase with minimal personal risk. Employee is catastrophically wrong. Never happened before. No, never.
At least now employee can whine about it to the world...
Yeah, but that's kinda like saying DEC was the best computer company - just before it went broke. Slashdot's content is not 20% of what it used to be. Not necessarily blaming the mod system, just saying it doesn't seem to help.
Back in the late 90's a commercial nuke that I visited was running a Prime mini to monitor core temp. They couldn't simply change it out due to certification issues.
Because there's a buttload of legacy embedded apps running it? I know of at least 20 I've had my hands near, including one running on the International Space Station.
This would have been a game-changer 20 years ago. Today, with proto boards cheap and with a quick turnaround, I see no advantage other than the geek factor.
Well said.
The FAA has enforced it's regulations on pilots for years without giving the pilots any significant recourse or constitutional rights. Until Sen. James M. Inhofe got busted for landing on a closed runway. He was successful at getting the "Pilot's Bill of Rights" passed which established sensible burdens of proof and defendant's rights for pilots charged with violating regulations. Inhofe is considered to be something of an idiot among pilots for landing on the closed runway, but he's also considered "our idiot" if you catch my meaning.
I worked designing ballot reading machines back in the late 80's. I enjoyed the work and we made some great equipment. Then the "hanging chad" incident came along and the Federal Elections Commission issued strict certification standards for ballot counting equipment. Once my company certified the machines that they sold, they ended all R&D and new product development. It was not possible to make incremental improvements without a massive retest and recertification, and the company (correctly) surmised that the certification costs would limit the playing field to the existing players.
So, no incentive to build better machines.

When NASA was so busy trying to fly to the moon that it had no time for such nonsense.
We'd just toss them in jail...
The massive amount of shitposting this article got.

Are you so tired that you don't know the different usage of "to" and "too"?

You must be new here.
Unfortunately, one man's psycho is often another's spiritual leader... Just saying.

An I troubled by this? No more than I'm troubled by the fact that the Dallas police stock 1lb bricks of C4 plastic explosive... Which is "a lot".
Except competence and productivity.
Those ticket machines were running in 1975. Not even MS/DOS.
I can't understand a single word they are saying. Where's my PDP 8 and PAL3 assembler....

Womyn rapists, shitlord.
Here we have the *only* relevant and insightful comment of the whole lot and it gets downvoted. Slashdot is well and truly dead.
