Stacking these things is all well and good, but at what point do heat considerations become a primary concern? Lately I haven't gotten the impression that volume of ICs is our biggest bottleneck.
Man, don't tell 4ch or Anon about this -- they'll start a campaign to use stolen credit card numbers to start mass-closing accounts... and not even cost the card anything! It's like a VISA ping of death...
That would be an excellent point, if each of those trucks only carried a single item then went back for the next one. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happens when most people go shopping -- their car makes the trip just for something they could have carried in one hand, instead of a UPS truck making a single circuit of its route and delivering hundreds of items along the way.
We know they help convert Carbon Dioxide back into Oxygen, but we don't know how exactly.
I'm not sure what you're talking about -- the exact procedure plants use to take in carbon dioxide, and emit oxygen gas, is mapped out in as much detail as any part of science I know of; it includes the multi-stage fate of individual electrons!
From a naive, off-the-cuff armchair analysis, it seems to me that PageRank only serves as a way to provide ordering of search results.
Funny thing... sorting on positive values will always yield the same ordering as a sort on those values' logs.
I've got a great algorithm for scanning notes with the sensor from an optical mouse; the only thing I can't figure out is how to make sure the mouse knows where it is on the paper...
The math actually supports negative frequencies fairly easily. No, I can't give a convenient physical example for that -- if only because I never wrapped my mind around it intuitively myself. Still, bandwidth centered at zero (raw data, no carrier frequency) takes up as much of a frequency range as the same signal modulated to ride a higher frequency.
You are correct: you have no idea what you're talking about here. As other people have already mentioned, GHz can refer both to the frequency on the spectrum and to a range of frequencies. As you say, 7GHz is the range of frequencies available to send data in.
However, the carrier frequency does NOT matter in this -- assuming no interference, atmosphere, etc., exactly the same amount of information can be carried in the frequencies from 0-7GHz as from 7-14GHz.
If it helps you to picture it, picture a signal that is consistent over time, made up of sub-signals at 1-Hz intervals. Each of these signals can be turned on or off, and count as 1 bit of information. Therefore, you can be transmitting 7*10^3 bits of data whether your list of frequencies is centered at 3.5GHz or at 10.5 GHz.
Other less naive transmission techniques all follow this same pattern -- the shape of the frequency graph contains all the information; the center point contains none.

...I actually used Sets on a fairly regular basis. Check out it out before it's gone!

well it's 2011, so it must have been at least 27 years ago...
Well, his site is just evidence of what happens when one tries to develop in an Unsuitable environment!
Arco. Any Mexican grubbery in So Cal. Many small grocery stores.
Actually it looks to me like /. has a distinctly RIGHT leaning... especially the slash; the dot looks pretty neutral.
"Liberated"

I'm going to go out on a limb, here, and take a guess that you are, in fact, a White Person
I personally find it telling that you considered "Insightful" to be equivalent to "You agreed with me" :)

You DID catch the part where they're condoms, right?

I think you mean the KDE Klari.... wait, never mind.

Did you really have to say brain "cavities"??
Ain't that the truth!
"Funny, on more levels than one. And, if I have to explain it, you won't get the joke, so I won't bother."
Oh man, I am SO using that every time I make a pun. Or emphasize a word as if I'd just made a pun, even if I did no such thing.
