He did. It was called "Mein Kampf" and it was published on this stuff called paper. Although after the first really big post, he never updated it again. I hear he had some busy times afterward so I guess it's understandable.
It's very different where I work. We build rather unique items. A build of twenty is unusual. FPGAs allow us to design hardware that can be reprogrammed at a later time. Not for patching so much as incorporating codecs and prototcols that didn't exist when the hardware was designed.
Don't know what vendor you tried. I can regularly get the Xilinx Virtex series to operate at 100% to 120% of their rated speeds.
Secondly, FPGAs are significantly more expensive than ASICs
Assuming you are making many thousands (if not millions) of them, and you ignore development costs. Gate-level design and simulation/evaluation of a complex ASIC is labor consuming task. Getting to a releasable mask set is a long road.
Where I work they develop ASICs for spaceflight so they only build a relative handful, and it doesn't amortize out as well. There's a LOT of interest in space qualified FPGAs as a result. On-orbit reprogramming is also driving that interest. Remember how they fixed the Mars rovers from 35 million miles away, although that was Flash RAM.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what the guy's innovation is. Xilinx, the leading FPGA vendor, has had software processor cores for quite a while. One of them is a freebie. Most of my ground receiver desings use FPGAs for upgradability, and can be reconfigured over a TCP/IP network.
But seriously, once you learn an RPN calculator, there's nothing faster and more efficient. It's an engineer's tool. It becomes an extension of yourself.
At some point someone, somewhere will try to pass a law like this: If a politician's election web site gets more hits than his/her opponents, the internets will have to automatically reroute traffic to the sites of the other candidates until the levels are equalized.
So you'd click on Hillary's link and get, like, Obama. Or Dave Barry.

A guy who, like, works for some company bad mouthed the product of, like, a competing company?
The deuce you say! In corporate America? Bah!
*shrug* Works fine for me.
And another honest question gets modded flamebait.
I thought "full service for 100 dinars" is the oldest?

So can we hope^H^H^H^H expect to see Ballmer "retired" real soon now by the Florida capos?
No. What fucked-up animals a teeny minority of us are. Most of us are better than that. You are. I am.
I'm not. :(
I find it amazing that even in the face of such horrible events, human nature is such that it can find humor.

During the Rodney King riots, I carried a Baretta 9mm in my backpack to work. Pull me from my car? No, don't think so. Buh-bye.

I can create an even higher frequency for a fraction of the cost.
(Turns on flashlight)
I can even send information.

I admit the data capactity needs work, though.

Based on the skills of some of our engineering new hires from expensive schools, I'd say the student aid itself is being misused.
you simply can't say that there is no distinction whatsoever between Democrats and Republicans.
Agreed. They both utterly suck shit in completely different ways. :-)

The goal is increased conversions, and of course AdWords market share."
Say what's a who now?
Sometimes I miss the wild and wooly days of HTML 1.0 when marketers and advertisers thought a web was where a spider lived.
Because PDAs are gay!
