Alteast he was honest enough to state his interest in publicizing the article. If you feel so wronged, then save your precious time and don't RTFA...wait, who reads those anyway?:)
From the article: The new chip was made possible by a process which limits power consumption by parts of the chip which are not in use, reducing heat emissions, Intel said.
does this help the driver in the actual race?
Yes it does, the team constantly communicates with the driver via a microphone and speaker in the helmet. It's not unusual for you to see a driver backing off towards the end of a race because he's been informed that the brakes are overheating, or that he needs to reduce fuel consumption if he wants to make it to the end of the race without refuelling.
If so, is there regulation for that?
As far as I know, the regulations do not place any restrictions on what might be communicated to the driver, from the pits, during the race.
The question is, if he blows one, will anyone notice:)
Anyway if you had looked at the pictures, the speakers are easily accessed through a removable floor panel. Similar to the wiring in a server room.
Why is it that people look at a project, which someone else has put a ton of time and effort into, and think they can find flaws in less than a minute. Is your opinion of your fellow man that low, or your opinion of yourself that inflated?
This has been tried out, by a south american corporation. Unfortunately, I forget the name of the person that introduced this. Employees decided their own salaries, but their co-workers voted to decide whether they wanted to keep them at that salary. The company's accounts were also open to all the employees, so they could see where the money was going.
Maybe I missed something, but can't this be used to help the blind navigate around their homes or even outdoors? It's the first thing I would think of rather than fighter pilots.
According to various articles I have come across in the past few months, computer games claim to improve all of the above. Methinks someone should find out who is funding these studies.
The author admits the title is a provocation, so we can cut him a little slack there.
Nevertheless, it could be argued that if you want to thank the virus for making the immune system stronger, you could also thank the immune system for making viruses stronger, because that is how competition and natural selection work. If we didn't have viruses, we would have no need for an immune system. So to thank viruses for making us spend time and energy in strengthening our defenses seems a little silly.

Since when is a company making profit in trouble?
Yes it does, the team constantly communicates with the driver via a microphone and speaker in the helmet.

...if they don't have Internet access?
They would still have to show some copied code.

...scientists are predicting Southern California could be in for a major earthquake this spring or summer.
Except for the odd occasion, when curiosity might drive you to look through the windshield to check what's on the road.

So the question to ask, when queried about the benefits of open source is: "Are you a man?" :D
In fact you could also put that on a t-shirt - "Real Men Use Linux"
Red (Hat) & (Big) Blue were working together to defend the world from the SCO of the universe.
Isn't that closer?

...and then we'll have the paperless office.
No, wait! Wasn't that supposed to come first?

See, it crashes just like my software. We call it the 'blue sky of death' :D
...I love their music :D

..it's no surprise that their supreme court should follow.
