If it was a Dell notebook battery recall though you can bet there will be a comment like "Glad my iBook is still running fine after all these years" tagged on."
Well since you asked for it... I'm glad my dell laptop is still running fine after all these years! Oh wait... nope, it died. nevermind. I'm glad my ibook is still running fine after a year..... with one replaced hard drive.
yeah i just graduated from EE, heard the speech, and i can honestaly say... you are right. there are slim pickins at michigan. but there is the rare polished stone amongst the coal.
Does anyone know any details about this new design? Is it similar to the FinFet design ( http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/wonews/mar03/ multigate.html ) or is it something totally new that has an interesting design? Does anyone have a picture of this crossy latchey thingy? how easily can it be intergrated into common present industry models?
I switched to an iBook G4 1GHz back in August 04. I got my ibook about 5 weeks before they were upped to 1.2GHz. Will i notice that 200MHz? nope. hell my printer probably has a 200MHz processor in it. I won't miss it. I can tell you that i would have missed this iBook. I've run Debian, RH, windows 2k, xp, 98, 95, 3.1(1), and I use a lot of different systems and operating systems at UM and i can tell you that this was the best purchase i've ever made. I'm actually happy that my dell laptop died and made me buy this machine, that i (by the way) bought simply because with my education discount was less than a grand. I have read above that you should wait for tiger to come out, and if its not an emergency, then wait for tiger, but otherwise.... just do it. i was angry and unhappy at first that i wasn't using kde and that there wasn't a start button, but once i get it configured nice for me, i don't even like sitting at a windows machine. makes me uncomfortable. I'm really disappointed that Matlab still runs in X11. it makes things less easy for me than windows, but good thing is i don't have to deal with that very often. I'd say, plan on sitting there for a week getting used to it, and you'll love it. I've come a long way since my days of making fun of apple supporters, and apple has done nothing but put their best foot forward.
yeah the math review for shrodingers eq would be intense, but i think simply exposing the readers to it, and giving a nice qualatative explination of it and what implications there are due to it.
i read further and chapters 4 to 6 were very good giving history and lots of good information. and above i stated no example questions, that wasn't fully correct there are example questions, i meant more like.... review questions (question with answer but you have to arrive at it yourself). or like self test questions. I would like to see some complex or moderate questions placed in that test if you understand the concepts. i further didn't see shrodingers eq explicitly written. i didn't see probability densaties and potential barriers. they may not be important to understanding concepts, but could be if you decide to try to build one. like say you want to trap two particals and entangle them, and confine them. you need to know about potential barriers. ok i'm just babbeling now. but great work..
ok well i have to admit that i haven't read the entire text, but here is what i've noticed so far. you seem to be a little light on information across the entire book. lets take an example. You discuss how fo fine sin(x) in 3.4.1 which is fine, i would not have, its a bit trivial, but then when you were discussing complex numbers in 3.6, you didn't discuss the rather troublesome third quadrant, and show z* and e^i(pi) in like one line, right after a shaded box at the bottom of the page, asking for students to read over it without absorbing them. also there are no self test questions, no example questions, nothing. this book needs work, but is an awesome start. now you need to work on getting the subtle details that students will miss, get them either in questions, examples, or complete explanation.
I think it might be 4 (four). silver, red,.... something else... 256 would be a lot of colors and 16million... well, i don't expect them to sell that many of these little doo-dads.
I'm just a colege kid. I looked at a PC because i'm an engineer, but decided that an ibook would be more for me. i can run what i need to, and i get a few key bonuses.
All that shit just to play a few games.... My kids would be learning how to write their own games in linux or would be playing the slightly outdated games that are for mac. I personally run OSX and the only real percausions i have are little snitch and netbarrior. the funny thing is.... they are there more just in case, not becuase if they aren't there, the machine will die a horrible death due to spy ware as my address and phone number and email get sent to who knows where. I feel sad for people who have to run windows for their job or for some other reason that is beyond their control, but if you have some control, you should switch. I used to hate apples, thinking they were expensive and silly. but i got an ibook for a little less than a grand and it was the best investment ever, solid hardware, excellent software, and enough power to get things done with the support of the opensource community. take my advise: don't spend hours making your box so that it can't be exploited, spend a few minuits and get a better box.
I personally like Yahoo! maps. It's really funny, because i don't like Yahoo! at all in general. For their maps is the only reason why i go there. Usually i still crack open an actual physical map and keep several in the car just in case there is a problem on the way. I think it works out quite well.
Yeah, this is true, but all proof of concepts start with pencil and paper, and in this case maybe a smith chart. Doing the proof calculations for this would be the crappiest job. I've done smith chart calculations before and i can tell you they are boring and I wouldn't want to do them for the subsystems to show that this could possibly work, and on top of that, you have to look really closely at tolerances to make sure that you aren't creating antenna effects or, if your tolerances are at worst case that you aren't dropping your power signifigantly (if you don't know what i mean then look at the shape of the standing waves inside of transmission lines). So, yeah you are right, but give me a little credit.
It depends on what optical approach you take to look at the question. if you are looking at it from a photon stand point, then yes you need to look for tunneling. if you are looking at it from an EM stand point then you have to look at fringe effects. Go back an read the next chapter in your EM/optics book titled EM optics and don't quit after the phton optics chapter.
Thank you for your response. The real problem is fringe effects. you have a really small space and a beam that is not 100% coherant. There will be fringe effects, and certain things associated with optics in general that can cause problems. There are really ingenious ways of solving these problems and i commend engineers for finding them. I also agree that Intel should be looking at more FSB and more cache (especially level I).
If i felt like doing the calculations i would have shown this as well, but i figured i would get flamed even more than i did. you are correct though, my computer at 750MHz runns right at the end of the radio spectrum. This new processor would run well into the Microwave spectrum. The good thing is that most cases are shielded enough that it isn't a problem, but putting trick windows and stuff on your case reduces the shielding that you get. instead of metal you stick a poor dielectric in there, not really helping the radiation cause....
yes, treating the "wires" like waveguides is the only way to do such calculations. i was refering to optical waveguides to get more power to the end without having to worry so much about the transmission line effects of such a high clock speed. multi-mode fibers could be easily used, but would be somewhat more difficult to fab. And i've done calculations to figure out power transmitted for transmission lines using a smith chart. Not really hard, but its a pain in the ass, and you have to take even the smallest things into consideration like tolerances. with such high clock speeds a small amount off can drasticly reduce the amount of power delieverd or could create an antenna effect on the lines. Thus wondering if embeded optical systems would be a better option. that all i was trying to ask.
Running at 5-7GHz is absolutely retarded for a processor to do. If you look at the way that every single "wire" in the professor acts, they all must be treated like transmission lines. just sitting there and doing thost calculations to find out how much power is being delivered would be the most bit*h/bullsh*t job every. A processor running that fast would probably lend its self to using onboard optical systems (waveguides) and running parts that way so as not to have to deal with running copper or Al and doing all of the insane calculations associated with that.
Oh and by the way, i'm running a PIII750 and the only things i would upgrade to are Apple and a 64bit processor. I'm not going to upgrade for a long time.
When they drop the prices down to about $10.00 per cd we'll talk, untill then i will continue sneaker sharing (borrowing then copying cds). I would also like to see prices vary according the number of minuits long or the number songs on the album. paying $15 for a thirty minuits long Weezer album pissed me the F**k off.
ok you have obviously not read the mission statment of debian and know little about debian, so i won't bother with calling you an idiot, which you are, or any other names. I will simply say: if you don't like it or can't get it to run, leave the linux thing to people that can get it to run and who actually read and understand what they are using is about and simply keep your mouth shut about it. If you really have to say something about how you really want something done.... submit a bug report.
