seriously, i get modded down as a troll for posting the real truth that it's the US that's surrendering our rights, yet other posts that claim that France is surrendering get modded up.
FACT: Yet More Rights Are Being Given Away - in the USA.
Most musicians and most bands are NOT members of them, therefore they are only a powerful small segment that leeches off the rest of the music industry.
It's like saying MSFT is the Software Industry. They may want you to think they are - but they are not.
Darn, and I thought it was Globalization that was the problem...
Z - the end of our world.
The need for maps that show where news is not from

Mapping Google News

· Score: 2, Interesting
We already know where the stories indicated by this map are coming from, because they're taking up ridiculous amounts of space on the front pages of newspapers everywhere.
Exactly. If it hadn't been for the Tsunami, would we have seen as many stories from adjacent countries, for example?
Just because it's not reported, doesn't make it not news. It's just that our filters screen out things that aren't the latest thing.
But it doesn't really matters, because you'll se no computers based on this transistor. Bipolar transistors suck for logic circuits. You'll, otherwise, se several good applications that require fast bipolar transistors apperaing as soon as this is commercial (I don't know them ahead, of corse) and will probably not even listen about them.
A valid viewpoint - perhaps this will be useful for specific applications, but we'll see about that, of course.
I still am primarily concerned with energy usage and efficiency, especially as regards to heat output, which are the most critical problems.
'm guessing you've never done any graphical apps with your machine. Those eat CPU's for lunch. I can peg even the fastest consumer machines available now with some of the stuff I work with.
Nah, just 3D rotations of genetic structures that rotate, which take 12-48 hours to crunch out...
Again, as I said, what's the ROE? It's like having a super-cooled turbine on a moped - sounds great, but it's not the limiting factor that it might appear to be on paper.
If we assumed that all transistors on a chip (say a P4) were this type of transistor, and could run at 600 GHz, I know there is time required for a signal to cross all of these transistors, etc., and that some chips have a billion transistors on them, how fast could the current chips run with these transistors?
Depends, as always, on the heat output of the transistors.
Now, if you really want to impress me, announce you've found a transistor element that has incredibly small heat output and a high efficiency ratio - that is what is important.
If person A spends $6000 to buy a 600GHz PC with the same WiFi connection and HD storage as person B who spends $500 to buy a 200GHz PC with the same WiFi connection and HD storage, who won?
Classical economists - and even the neo-punks - would say Person B, who can now afford to outfit his PC with racing stripes and a goldfish bowl, and still go on vacation in France...
Douglas Adams would be spinning around in his grave at Warp 9, except for the fact that he was cremated and his ashes scattered in the Thames, so that would probably kill a few fish in the process...
Face it, letting a Hollywood studio try to do British humour is akin to watching an American remake of a Japanese horror film... pointless, and without any context remaining to make it even slightly more scary than a dead spider that's been run over by a moped...
Granted, we all hate spammers. We hate what they do, we hate the way they zombify unsecured gateways, we hate they way they thumb their nose at everyone, we hate what they try to sell, we hate that they try to scam millions a day. We all would love to see every spammer get harsh penalties.
But, really... nine years?
You're right, we should insist on 20 years. Or three tours of duty in Iraq.
Seriously, Canada is bigger than the USA, it has higher bandwidth, it produces more music, and it has more freedoms and the will to fight for them... give Canada an icon on/.
I predict this will be the foundation of so many Ring 0 virii and worms that we'll be laughing about Longhorn for years. Or at least till the end of the decade.
[Why are you on/.?] Hmmm. Not sure. Because the converse of my statement is surely: Bioinformatics people have no interest in programming, linux, etc. Actually, it's a little known fact that all bioinformatics is still done with pencil and paper (we can't even use calculators, the Patriot Act forbids it).
Shhh. Don't mention that. Next thing you know Congress will outlaw our Sliderules and Pencils.
It's hard enough using Polaroids to take pictures of the gels when we PCR...
If people only have to sit in a plane for 2 or 3 hours instead of 14 hours, a lot of people might willingly spend the extra money for a ticket. For shorter travel, like LA to Texas, people aren't as worried about travel time because it's not such a long trip, and there's more people with less money to spend who want to travel within the country.
The same thing was said about the Concorde, yet Air France and British Air never had very high demand. As price per pound of jet fuel (or whatever rich mixture is used) increases - and it will increase a LOT very soon - the economics become even more unattractive.
Why build high-speed jets for land tycoons in the Far East and rock stars when millions of people die in poor nations every year that would live with the same money spent?

seriously, though, it's a good thing we wash our hands a lot here at the labs
to drop bombs on other nations and hasten global extinction.
that's a very cynical - and highly-classified - viewpoint.
If not for that, it would have had a PG rating.

Your original has some extra characters and can't be used.

Don't let him work on license plates for nine years, have him work on tracking down spamsters to have them arrested.

While in jail, of course.
And have him do it on a TRS-80 with a 300 baud modem
"...A privilege...granted to you by the public"
That is interesting, but it is granted by the government, not the public. Big difference.
Wrong.
Heck, copyright is supposed to only be for 17 years too.
Yup, Svend Robinson. I've got pics from back in my old NDP days.
Isn't it about time that Slashdot gets a 'Canada' Topic Icon? We have a USA one.

... give Canada an icon on /.
How about an exploding Maple Leaf? I hear they forgot to tap the trees this year

my last place of residence was in Burnaby-New West.
The only way to fight this is to fight hard.
