I built the same circuit with a parallel port interface to the raw (non-XORed) output, and it cost even less. However with that design, you need to do the XORing or hashing in software. We ended up writing a daemon that would feed the Linux kernel's entropy pool whenever it was low.
There are at least a few typos in the Techspot article. I assume that if they'd actually stolen the Nordic Hardware article itself it would have been cut-and-paste, not typed by hand.

To avoid a vacuum, you just print air on the inside. Duh!
The SAS system provides a relational database, and the SAS/AF portion of the
product lets you code "user-friendly interactive windowing applications". I
don't know too much about the full capabilities of it, but in our case these
applications have an X interface. The applications are written in the SAS
programming language. The SAS Institute has been around since the '70s, and I
believe these products have been around since well before 1991.
So there's the X front end, some SAS code in the middle, and the SAS database
on the back end, and it's pre-1991.
Wouldn't a changeable serial number eliminate all the benefits Intel is claiming the number will provide? Processors would no be longer uniqe. They could be cloned at will.
I see comments about Gibson farther down... I coincidentally read Neuromancer right before I saw Strange Days, and I saw a lot of parallels. More than the 'trode net, that is. Anyone else notice anything?

It's called a turbocharger. :) Well, that's not exactly what you described, but it's close.
This is a way to power small, low-power devices parasitically from the vibrations of a much larger engine. Actually very interesting.

Where I work, we use the SAS system from the SAS Institute.

I've heard from reliable sources that Digital's (well now Compaq's) Alpha compiler is very, VERY well designed/optimized.
