What? It makes perfect sense to me. I mean, suppose I buy a copy of War and Peace for $10. If it takes me 3 hours to read it (yeah right), and minimum wage is $5 an hour, it means I should've been paid $15, and thus got shortchanged by $25. Duh.:)
Are you serious? The page you linked to was clearly tongue-in-cheek. I quote:
"When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time."
Geez. One day, some company will start selling a portable computer running Emacs, with great battery life. Geeks on/. will complain "but what about the kitchen sink?" The other 99% of the population will ask "but how do I edit my files?".
Bullshit. Coca-Cola could make the same argument about the government interfering with their ability to make a profit of Disanti water because, shucks, the public water utilities are hurting their ability to compete.
It's funny that you use this particular example. You do realize that Dasani and Aquafina are just filtered municipal water, right? The public water utilities are helping them to compete against companies that bottle spring water.
Do remember that there is no Moore's Law for batteries.

It's funny you mention both baking and tomato sauce.
Baking usually requires two mixtures, one of "wet" ingredients and one of "dry" ingredients. Hierarchical instructions would be very useful in this case. Also, some people might not realize that sugar is a "wet" ingredients, so it's nice to have these borders clearly delineated.
Tomato sauce is plenty chemistry. Try cooking some in an iron pot and see what happens.
It is puzzling why most recipe books don't use a hierarchical format for the ingredients. I often recopy recipes into a structured format so I can maintain mise en place.
If you want to make Chinese food, try getting some of the recipe books by Weichuan, the Taiwanese food company. I have one of their books from the 1980s or so, which uses a nice format of grouping ingredients.
That's funny, nowhere in the CNet article did it mention that the whole idea originated at UC Berkeley. There's even a Lego model of a FinFET transistor in the lobby of Cory Hall.
A quick search on Google for "FinFET" will get you a whole lot of references.
I'm taking some classes at Cornell on chip design, and I spent a semester learning about asynchronous design (and implementing a subset of PPC at various levels).
One thing: the professor built the asynchronous MIPS chip with others when he was a graduate student at Caltech. Second: you can write programs for these chips just like any other.
The design is done using a variant of Hoare's CSP, so that *no* verification is needed. The chip is provably correct (though the silicon may be defective).
Here's the professor's lab's page:

What kind of apeshit moderation is this? The chickenshit moderators should have tagged him "informative".
Good thing there aren't nine types of ice.
I think a program to sort consumers would work just fine.
WTF?! So that's why "lkjsdflkjsaf" made it into my term paper!
Huh? Was that a Freudian slip, or some new phrase I'm unaware of?
The turbo button was for slowing your computer down to play old games. Games that were designed for XTs and depended on a 4MHz processor, for example.
So now it's America Online Instant Messenger Mail? What's next? AM $FOO?

You know, people at GOOG read Slashdot, so someone could have tweaked the results for this particular query. :)
Um, do you really find f F t F useful in vi(m)? More useful than a plain search?

"RAID array" makes perfect sense. The extra "array" makes for redundancy.
You forgot to add NO CARRIER to your post.
It's amazing how similar pens and penis look when italicized.

EDA is indeed 40+ years old. Next year will be the 42nd Design Automation Conference (though the first couple of conferences had a different name).

You mean bite my shiny metal DAFFODIL ass...
Because he got confused with 'googol'?
