now is that really true? say you invent some amazing new gadget, and in our new world with no intellectual property a dozen manufacturers copy it and start selling it. is it still the case you wish for no intellectual property protection?
unfortunately sarcasm come across well on the internet. without the person's body language, people can't identify sarcasm and often incorrectly assume the poster is an idiot.
FYI many major companies require drug tests (eg Intel)
2 big pitfalls in your table: 1. this is just the top marginal rate. very few people pay this rate. the marginal tax rate payed by most taxpayers in the US is much lower. 2. does this include state income taxes? those are usually about 5%.
Google is just software, not hardware. Or am I wrong on this one?
You are indeed wrong. Google is actually a major hardware manufacturer since they build their own servers plus the Google Search Machines. There's even rumors of them making custom chipsets for their servers.
They may be faster, and they may consume less power, but IT is still about cost. Something tells me, that with this great advancement comes a higher price tag than AMD.
I doubt it. I'd bet that Intel fabs spit out processors at a much lower unit cost than AMD.
Well, both labs government owned and are run by the University of California, so this isn't exactly like the "lowest bidder" contracts for stuff like new subway tunnels.
Claiming that Airbus has a "poor" safety record is unfair. None of the Airbus models has a particularly bad accident rate, while the most common model (A320) has a much lower rate than the competing Boeing 737 (at least the models sold through the mid 90s). As far as use of composites goes, Boeing pushes the envelope far more than Airbus (eg 787).
"ramp up" is a common term in industry and elsewhere. it means indicates a company's acceleration of the rate of production. i don't quite understand the problem.
it's like complaining "Cheesus christ man, stop saying the, *please*"

Intel Makes 45nm Chip
·
· Score: 5, Informative
molecule? This is a crystal we are talking about, so the entire wafer is a "molecule".
An atom of Si is about.3nm across.
AMD is nearly a full year behind Intel rolling out 65nm. Intel began volume production at 65nm last summer; AMD will be ramping up in the middle of this year.
While the parent may be joking, down below you'll find a lot of posts from AMD fanboys insisting that AMD must somehow be ahead. These fanboys are as clueless as the average tech magazine reporter. You can be quite certain that AMD will not be ramping up 45nm before Intel.
From the study, the number of 4-year degrees in engineering given in the US is 137437, in India 112000, and in China 351537. The number of 2/3-year degrees (think MSCE-level) in the US is 84898, in India 103000, and in China 292569.
The Red Herring article fails to link to its source. Ironically the actual study criticizes articles like these for failing to identify their sources.
So here is the study itself. Enjoy.

if you look closer, actually, you'll discover that the article was written by a Pakistani
Make sure you know who owns the code you write before you put it into use.
Dunno if you've noticed, but since GM bought Daewoo more and more Chevrolets are Korean cars.
i dunno. we earthlings don't seem to mind being spied on. especially the brits.
See if you can do some coding for an open source project.
This is a USA specific item being posted when mostly Europeans are on slashdot. Of course hardly anyone is going to comment.
Hey slashdot editors: please post US-specific stuff when Americans are online.
This is an important point. The real question is not whether the mission is too risky but whether a few more years of Hubble is worth $1B+.

. . . as is San Jose.
I remember a business book from the 90s, "Built to Last", that also noted that companies with higher paid executives performed worse.

Conroe is Intel's next-generation desktop chip. It is related to Merom, the 64-bit Pentium M, and coming out next summer.
