And now the guy is stuck with negative karma because +1 funny doesn't count, and if my observations are correct negative karma is worth double.
Count to 3 before modding guys.
Make sure that the people deserve it.
I think this was a program that was custom built for the company.
For things like that it is very common for a programmer to look at the old user interface and design the new one to be as similiar to it as possible.
This is good business sense.
It means you don't have to spend time and money retraining the employees on new software.
Also the underlying data must also be readable.
This isn't a matter of copyright or artistic expression.
Its business.
One would think that if more than one person was in a room they would either use more traditional methods like canes or ask each other to be quiet for a second.
Some of the estimated 550,000 foreign graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who help staff the nation's laboratories may take their brainpower to countries where visa hurdles are less rigorous. They are gay. Mod parent down. sigh why do I bother nobody can see my posts anyway

I like my adjusted physics tank driving across the side of a building and then rocket jumping over a river.

The main bottle neck is memory access because of the system bus.
A direct CPU to RAM connection would improve things dramatically.
Why do you think L1 cache is so important?
More likely it will be the model T of chip to chip connections since it is a prototype.
Must... resist... Beowulf... cluster... joke....
This is really cool.
The main problem I see is how much heat all these things will generate right next to each other.
Also it might become hard to get at the chips if they are right next to each other.

But if you ask people how many gigabytes of data you can fit on a 20 gigabyte drive all of them will answer 20.
Not 18.6
Funny, but wrong.
One theory
The RIAA is poked once more generating a few more sputters and gasps from slashdot posters.
This isn't even new news.
Its 2 days old.
Could we at least hold off on the next newsflash until they do something else?

It seems that openres was badly written also.
Fusion bong? O_o
So do you think the diamond chips will help with that?
I know they are fast, but can they be used as permanent solid state storage?
Yeah and SCO and Microsoft will join forces to spread OSS.
Unless the RIAA has a copyright on Bach and Beethoven this looks like out and out theft to me.
I would be losing money and not getting anything in return.
This is why compulsory licensing schemes are just that, schemes.
There is no way to 'fix' it.
If people want to buy your product they will buy it. Otherwise you don't have a product to sell.
The day you start charging me for thieves else stealing your stuff is the day I consider you no more than a thief yourself.
I would love to get this.
:(
It would be great for taking notes in class.
But 300USD is a whole paycheck for me right now.
Japanese cultural trends tend to follow a few years behind the states. Japan is a big seller for stuff like this.

The whole point of this thing is NOT to have a hud showing sound waves.
You actually hear the sounds and interpret them as needed.
In Soviet Russia you get IP over voice.... Wait... We have that here. Modems! THEY'RE A COMMUNIST PLOT! :)
Nothing will change the minds of these people now.
They see things in a certain way now, and that is the way that they will continue to think.
The only thing that can make a large change in the way the RIAA is doing business is a complete change in management.

Yeah a bit.
Ah well.
Let them have their fun.
The U.S. has its problems just like everywhere else, but its the best we have for now.
