I am not an engineer, but I've been kicking this concept around in my head for a while, short paths FTW. I always thought of thermoelectric cooling solutions, water-through-the-chip... wow
In The People's Republic of California, we don't allow alcohol to be sold or given away in the polling place or in a place connected by a door or window to the polling place. I couldn't find the law regarding drinking while voting. (I am an Election Inspector who had a lot of time on my hands last Tuesday.)
Just an odd thought, if you manage to get your kid into the tinkering, maybe you could introduce them to some live steam enthusiasts. Those guys have the killer workshops. All the train guys I've met seem to love sharing the skills.
"The consequences should be placed upon the company itself, not the people in charge." Excuse me for being a jerk, but this statement is simply incorrect. The lowly henchman taking the fall should absolutely not absolve the corporation. The CEO must be responsible, or the liability goes back to the owners, or shareholders, and your fictions do not change reality. Or perhaps for the public good LLCs should be outlawed. I certainly don't represent the fine logical mind that is slashdot, but I can't follow your assumptions to any semblance of correctness.
"Making top officers personally responsible for the actions of the corporation will just create incentives to take risk and innovate legally."
Fixed that.
With a level,legal, and ethical playing field, the players just have to follow the rules and everything will work out. It's called free enterprise, but at this time it's rigged by the cheaters. Will banning steroids ruin professional baseball? I think not.
I recently had a cop break one of my fingers in a misguided effort to torture a confession out of me. I was being fully cooperative & respectful, told them to go ahead and search my car for "weapons or contraband". I knew I had a problem because the STEROID ADDLED one was getting really agitated. Finally he had me stand up and weave my fingers through my hair so he could simultaneously crush my fingers and pull my hair while he shoved on my lower back, aggravating a prior injury, and shouted "HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING MARIJUANA?" in my ear. He could have just asked. When I explained that I had a doctor's recommendation to smoke it and that's why I didn't get the "contraband" reference, he stated that it was a "stupid law". People who confuse statutes with morals are IMO too stupid to be cops, but the bar is set VERY LOW. If he was professional, he could at least pretend to uphold the laws of the state (California) where he works. It may well be illegal to for sworn officers to torture peaceful citizens but it is morally unenforcable.
"How many people here have in the last couple of years actually tried to type on a Model M?" All the time,what's the problem? I just prefer to know when I hit bottom as I type. I'm a pretty shitty typist, anyhow. YMMV.
Wish I could think of something humorous like ALL OF Y'ALL. I am just very impressed by the concept. How heavy is this thing? (Secret? no pix.) I used to have fun as a youngster rubbing balloons on my hair, then sticking them to the ceiling. Who would have thought this could go so far?
Actually, the weather's pretty nice for a three month vacation, except his is unpaid. Maybe he can go to work full time on someone's political campaign, sort of keep a hand in. Maybe they'll just loan him a computer.
I'd like to see what his actual productivity was compared to that of his former co-workers who are allegedly still working.
Almost everyone goofs off on the job sometimes. Some knuckleheads haven't figured out that the computer can watch you even when the boss's back is turned. This of course, was a waste of OUR money which is why it was a federal crime. I don't know what circumstances prevented his removal from his position. I find it irksome that he gets his job back in 180 days, and apparently can't go to jail. No mention of his reimbursing us for the wages he stole either.
I guess I should work for the government.
Bird food. Huge role. Before humans learned to disregard common sense we didn't build our towns on swampland. Not a lot of population density in Siberia. I've got my own little bug paradise by the Skeena River in B.C. but it is habitable.
I really had high hopes too. pfft. For my friend's gotta-be-windows boxes, I can do XP-lite for a while, I still have a couple XP-64 licenses. I wish I had a use for the feeping crud. Hopefully Vista sp2 will have the drivers ironed out, I may be forced to try it in a year or two.
Slashdot Mirror
I am curious, was this guy actually doing anything gross to little kids or was he just indiscreet with his homemade porn collection?
BTW, I was thinking of 16 exabytes of RAM for each processor core, on the same chip, so the Bus only feeds the peripherals.
Like I said, IANAE.
With the rapid self destruction time inherent in this system, I would like to think the engineers have addressed this issue.

When I lived in Hollywood, I got to fantasizing about getting one of those big Barrett rifles.
Damn helicopters.
One look & I decided to NRTFA and save time by reading /.comments.
Dammit, you made me cry. Thanks.
Thirty years wasted.
Yeah, I keep hearing about those, but I haven't got time to google EVERYTHING.
Rejected my application for employment.

Of the "People of the Book" I'd say that Islam is the new one, not to start listing the newer ones, Ba'Hai, L.D.S., &c.
Ambient lighting to the cubicles, savin' watts for the CPUs, sounds relevant.

Windows ME. Harbinger of doom. Up until then, each step forward seemed like sort of a... step forward.

Oops. my bad.
No problem with wasting company time on his blog. It was only the political slant that was evil.
Gotta RTFA.

If I was you, I'd watch out- the suspect was released.
