I don't understand. From what I see, this doesn't give you much over using the old Athena libraries (visually) or using TK (as in Tcl/TK or Perl/TK). How is this an improvement over using KDE/Qt or Gnome
For IBM the cubicles were a cost savings method as part of a restructuring they did in the '80's and early 90's. They shut down entire centers, moved their employees into cubicle farms and shed numerous buildings (yes entire buildings), to save a few million bucks.
When I was associated with them (an indirect association), the IBM folks refered to IBM as "I've Been Moved"
The engine is generating 0ft/lbs of available torque at idle. If it wasn't the rpm would be increasing. On older cars, when you put it into gear, the rpm dropped to about 650. The difference in rpm represents the energy required by the extra loading. Modern cars maintain the 800 rpm because the computer opens the air bypass valve in the throttle body to increase the amount of power the engine is generating.
You're thinking specifically of an older GM vehicle. While this was true of the OBD-1 spec, OBD-2 does not enforce this and often requires a tool (code reader) to get the codes. Some OBD-2 vehicles still implement what you describe in one form or another. Chrysler, for example, does not have a shorting block; but, if you turn the vehicle ignition key off-on-off-on-off-on (three times, engine not running), you get the codes flashed via the check engine light.
OBD-2 also allows for "manufacter specific" codes which are not usually in the aftermarket manuals. To find out what these are, you usually have to buy the factory service manual ($$$) or one of the more expensive (professional grade) diagnostic tools.
for every one desktop PC made, there are over 10 embedded processors sold. PowerPC (whether it be IBM or Freescale) is a major player in embedded hardware. x86 just doesn't see that much use in embedded applications.
The company I work for builds instrumentation -- we use PIC or ARM for the low end; and, PowerPC for the high end. It's anecdotal, but representative...
No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm simply responding to "NEVER seen one in three years of daily use at work." with a little sarcasm thrown in, for good measure.
honestly, any OS is apt to be susceptible to problematic interface code. Even the micro-kernels will crash if you hang up the PCI bus.
Actually recent data suggests the con was perpetrated by Saddam Hussein. He wanted the world to think he had WMD to keep Iran et. al. from attacking again (while Iraq was in a weakened state); and, mistakenly assumed the U.S. would continue to do nothing.
"The problem the original poster has is that his specialty software does not support LCDs"
Not quite true. The original poster has a specialty application that can not be displayed on an LCD.
He's doing 3D where the monitor needs to be able to update faster than an LCD is capable. The image needs to update at 100-120 Hz or it's useless to him. Even the fastest LCD's on the market do not truely update at greater than 60 Hz.
Maybe they're doing this because they are pushing linux and are suggesting a development platform compatible with Power??? Could it be that IBM supplies Apple with the G5 and would rather see people use that platform than the x86. Could it be their giving developers a low cost option to work with; so they can develop code to use on their Power based servers?
Because, while it is re-usable, it must be thoroughly inspected and re-certified for each flight. With the current inspection regime it takes months to do the inspection, certification and prep for the next flight.
It turns out it isn't as simple as pulling the shuttle into the hanger after a landing and re-mounting it up for the next launch, as originally planned.

one of those Martian dudes who've been squeegeeing off the solar collectors on the rovers, to make a pit stop at the Mars Express and add a little duct tape.
There are metallic heat shields now, which are more durable. They weren't available at the time the shuttle was designed. It would not have been cost effective to attempt updating the existing shuttle design to use them. They've seen some testing on some of the shuttle replacements that have been cancelled in the past.
Gallium would be liquid at CPU operating temperatures as well. You'd only have to keep the radiator slightly above room temperature to maintain a complete loop of liquid.

You just haven't tried hard enough. Write some code, say, for test and measurement applications. You'll BSOD your computer soon enough...

I agree with you that "Athlon 64" kind of sucks for a name. I think it was better when they went by the code name "Hammer."
not quite the way I envisioned a similar concept once, but better, definitely better.

Chernobyl is water cooled. Graphite is neither a metal or a liquid.
