PMC Sierra designs their own chips.
SFU's Enigneering school has a intro course to chip design, but it basically covers putting a couple gates onto silicon.
Teaching theory isn't the same thing as teaching technology or good design practice.
They tend to pad requirements if they think they'll get hundreds of responses, they'll still hire the BCIT and Ryerson grads.
Most embedded devices are composed of a some I/O, a processor, and programmable logic.
Despite the other posts here, you really don't need differential calculus to design I/O devices, or quantum physics to make an iPod.
.. looks like they'll have to land their probes normally now.
Or at least, they can send a probe to the new crater to see if there is ice below ground.
Seeing how the ancient greeks created the first analog computer (wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism ) using gears to model the solar system, I wouldn't be surprised if they had an automation accidentally take out a worker, such as someone working on a loom or something.
For all we know, it was the company's fault, but with only one side of the story, they can just say "Ya Bobsan didn't turn off the machine properly" when in reality they didn't tell Bobsan how to turn off the machine properly in the first place.
It's probably some beancounter's fault.
There's laws against fraud in the first place.
Or does the whole 'billed your credit card under fraudulent means' no longer apply once the bad guys use computers?
... of malpractice suits.
If you do something differently, and something goes wrong, the lawyers come out and sue because you were doing something non standard.
I find it a bit spooky that a doctor would even need to look at old drawings to know how heart valves work. Isn't this why they are made to work on cadavers, so they know the body inside and out? Doesn't the real thing trump some old drawings?

They're in competition with MySQL.
For example, will this lead to a cure for MS?
install. I posted a question to alt.linux and everyone had fun with their 'RTFM' comments. I did read the FM, and their non help wasn't helping.

I see enough of the blame game at my current job. It's sad to see it when someone dies.

.. just sayin.
Silly tinfoil hat wearer!
Asterisk also supports the IP to IP voice over IP, so why can't the open source project get sued as well.
Seriously, they just take it apart to look inside. No adding of new sensors. No hacking in a webcam or wifi or an ipod interface. Nothing to see here.
My eyes! They burn from the strain of reading the small letters.
.. to 'A flock of seagulls' music.
To stop corporations from stealing content from the masses.
When the graphics are 'realistic' or 'realy really realistic' it comes down to gameplay if people are going to buy their console and have fun with it.
So, it must be good. Just sayin.
Cashier drawers are typically serial devices. Could be a parallel data device. Bar code scanners are typically serial devices.
No way! There's no way a cashier posts on slashdot.

I liked Openoffice because it could save a file in PDF format. Maybe I'll swtich to MS Office. Nobody can read my Openoffice resume anyways.

I can forsee a sequel to a certain movie...
Interesting how the Slashdotters complain about being censored by the corporations, while slashdot is a censorship haven. http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=148620&cid =12459645
