Heck, couple this with IBM's LPAR hypervisor on a power5 machine and you get so much redundancy and flexability it boggles the untrained mind!

"Dynamic Processor De-allocation enables defective processors to be taken offline automatically, before
they fail. This is visible to applications, since the number of online logical processors is decremented. An
application that is attached to the defective processor can prevent the operation from being performed, so
Dynamic Processor De-allocation may fail to remove the defective processor in some cases.
Dynamic Processor Sparing transparently replaces defective processors with spare processors. It is
transparent to applications, because spare processors are not in use by the system. The spare processor
assumes the identity of the defective processor. Dynamic Processor Sparing is dependent on the presence
of spare processors. A system has spare processors, if it is shipped with extra processors that the customer
did not pay for. These processors may be activated using Capacity on Demand procedures.
Both of these Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) features are enhanced by shared processor
technology. Enhanced processor virtualization enables the hypervisor to implement Dynamic Processor
Sparing in a manner that is completely transparent to the operating system. In effect, processor sparing
becomes purely a hardware/firmware technology, which can be applied to any partition including Linux
partitions for the first time. On the other hand, Dynamic Processor Deallocation is still implemented jointly
between the operating system and firmware, although shared processor technology represents a significant
advance in that it enables capacity and not logical CPUs to be removed. This means it will be more
transparent to applications and middleware and can be applied to partitions with one logical CPU.
Previously, it could only be applied if there were two or more logical processors."
"If you bypass part of the chip, you will have lower performance."
It ain't necessarily so! As long as we are blue skying these capabilities, the small pattern sizes allow for extra hardware to be included on chips that may not even be used until placed into service by a process such as this for healing or even when purchasing extra/future performance boosts!
Many years ago I had an old (then old) xk-150 Jag,
it seemed that the faster I drove it, the better
was the milage. It had overdrive and a 3.4L engine
if I recall correctly. I always attributed it to the
cam being optimized for higher RPM though I don't
really know how this was. Sorry I have to plead the
fith amendment as to the max speed to which I
tested this (it was indeed too fast). I might add
that that car's best safety equipment was it's
superb road holding, handeling and brakes.
These are great points but this and the other "Of course" comments I've read fail to address the basic
points of the paper: That the microphones are severely overloading the transister preamps and that the tube types handle this overload much more gracefully and distort much less under these conditions.
The main power amps driving the speakers where also mentioned as troublesome but the microphone side is where the research was done. I have seen no one updateing anything on this point.... are there modern day improvements on this? Perhaps a set of directional mic's placed further away would
help solve it. Of course specially built input circuits could too.
Years ago the large computer company I worked for spawned speculation that the CE's would need to start looking for taxi cab jobs (deliver the part and plug it where the machine or remote tech said to plug it). It has been awhile and life is just too complex for that to have come about yet. The diagnostices just can't be designed to forsee all the possible problems.
Now the VRU we all have come to love is replacing the receptionists.... well but not very well. At least not in my opinion, most of them agrivate me to no end.
The meter is great for science but not for bolts!

Our Friend, The Meter

Years ago I worked in a motor shop and observed that with metric bolts and nuts, we stripped the threads noticibly more frequently than with SAE threads. I then remembered from shop in high school that the SAE thread is a percentage of the bolt diamater chosen such that the thread is just strong and deep enough to break the bolt before the thread.
Not necessarily so with the metric ones, they appear to be table driven so your bolt quality varies with where it falls in the table!
btw I use 16404.2 feet = 5000 meters for a conversion factor:-).
edlin? That's got ms, use ed. ed is on every unix
in existance (they said a long time ago in school).
Somebody mentioned the 'unix linefeeds' - why are
you waisting your precious disk storage with un-
needed CR's?
Thanks, I have been thinking about the problem
of small size of the atom as an antenna for years.
This is great stuff from many angles of thought.
How much faster and farther would science advance
in our life time if every physics student were privy
to these thoughts, concerns and ideas!
QM may 'work' well enough but it leaves much to be
desired and more alternative ideas must be well
considered too.
Did you look at the radiation pattern for this antenna via the link? The pole looks high enough to me to place the base of the antenna well above your head. The pattern places nearly all the power in, more or less, the horizontal plane. So you onle fry the person in front of you if you are both climbing a hill. If course, don't operate the thing from ground level and stand nearby:-).
"Never has the ACLU needed your financial support more. Clearly, it is the only thing standing between us and our fascist government."
My Gosh, my dictionary defines fascist as 'extreme right-wing totalitarian nationalist movement in Italy' (or similar) and totalitarian as 'one-party government requiring complete subservience to the state'. These are hardly descriptions of our America... shame to apply them , especially on Memorial Day!!!
If we are in any danger of becoming a one-party government it is only because the democratic party has fallen into disarray because of it's continuing pursuit of lack of credability.
And don't forget there are other smaller parties still!
And the ACLU, if they did not do some good from time to time, we probably would have recognized there basic intellectual corruption (
read marxist beginnings and aims).
Last year at the Mid Atlantic Star Party, directway was gatewayed into a field near Robbins, NC for a large group of amateur astronomers. www.masp.org now has the plans for 2004 and the 'internet' activity links to an invalid page. It worked quite well. They used an MS box for the gw, you could use the dw6000, I suppose, to better advantage. They also had multiple linux boxes running local web servering and the like. Not sure if they used squid or what but
if so, it was a transparent proxy method.

The more you invest interest and care in your team mates, the more you will help build a less stressful
working environment. You will also be building relationships that can support you when you need it.
Sometimes a boss or some other unreasonable individual/s do things in ways that make this more of a challange. Frequently though, people are not used to being interested in (in some places) and may
be a tad standoffish until you 'break the ice' by persisting and they trust that you are for real. By the way, a long term effort will increase your being respected and much more.
If you have a hill or can build a tower with a
tank on top (like the old wind mill towers),
you could then set up multiple ram pumps (enough
for the volume you need, with the head you have
from that tank elevation) to place water into the
tank, then the gravity feed from the tank will run
your pelton wheel or whatever type you desire!

They will have to pry my wrench from my cold dead fingers! I sware I will NEVER buy a car that uses these in a way that I cannot disassemble.
Ok, I'll get the picture :-)

Pardon me while I throw up, you Marx lover. Sorry, I had to use his name to make my point.
