... and you need 2.5X current to get the same power, so you need heavier gauge wire. 12V is even worse, which is why auto makers are thinking of going to 48V for car electrical systems.
It's not clear that's true. There are a lot of license agreements involved going back to the early 80s. You also have to decide whose definition of "derived work" you are going to use.
On my favorite design we had nearly 100% coverage on the test vectors, someone said to "marx the uncovered nets" so we named them Groucho, Chico and Harpo in the netlist.
Take a look at the recent New Hampshire primary ballot recount. There is a lot of material presented and a lot of room for error. This was with optical mark, which is normally considered fairly reliable. But the lack of control on the paper ballots and memory cards is appalling.
What I haven't seen is any rating on the number of pages that a color cartridge will print. Obviously it depends on what you are doing, but somebody should print a standard image like Lena and see how many pages you get out of these cartridges. The right number is cost per page, not cost per cartridge.
As the article pointed out, the button on Youtube to download flash takes you to the Adobe installer page which would have just worked on Windows. For Linux, you need to read a page of directions which involve command-line programs.
This is just the Unix roots showing through. Apple used to advertise how they didn't "drop you into the basement" with all of the exposed plumbing the way DOS/Windows did. MS took that to heart and now it is the Windows users who don't know much about the OS underneath the graphics.
And what will you say when it turns out that some of the "pedophiles" were actually just political opponents? Governments are neither good nor evil, only individual acts by people are.
Not exactly. The ST506 had no concept of sectors. The heads were amplified and and connected to transceivers on the controller which could format the track however it wanted. It's actually 153 cylinders, 4 heads, 5 Mbit transfer rate and 3600 RPM. That's why it's funny to hear people complain that HDD manufacturers were somehow "cheating" when they say KB = 1000. There are no power of twos involved anywhere in old hard disks, everything was in decimal. I designed a "new" controller for the ST506 since it was so much better than the old 14" Winchester drives that we were using. We used sectors that were around 540 bytes since they included backwards and forwards file pointers in addition to the 512 data bytes.
Consider the case where a language has a very limited number of compilers, like Ada for example. The compiler is enormous to support the multitude of language features. Nobody can check all of the source by hand, and some of the code is automatically generated by other tools, so is quite opaque. I don't see Wheeler's idea giving us a trusted ADA compiler any time soon.
What stops a malicious individual from reporting "ibm.com" or "microsoft.com" as a spammer? How do you trust the reports? Don't forget that spammers control large networks of trojaned PCs and can send 100,000 "this is spam" reports at the push of a button. Once that happens a few times, nobody will trust the certs.
Not hotmail, although they're certainly a spam source. I'm thinking more like "houseofmagnets.com", or some domain that once its IPs get blocked, just pulls up stakes and starts sending from somewhere else.
Because my mail server will be set to two weeks, but someone else's might be set to 3 weeks, a month or a year. That way the first batch of spam will get a lot of rejects. The few that get spam and report it will get the account shut down before they can use it again.
What we need is a reliable way of determining the age of an account. I would like to refuse mail from any account created less than a week ago. Same for domains. Maybe have a way for finding out that a domain has moved to 10 different IP addresses in the last year as a negative score in spamassassin.
"There is nothing, nothing, nothing innovative in SSD."
Totally wrong. Cheap SSD flash drives put a bunch of flash chips behind one controller. They can do maybe 100 random writes per second. More expensive ones have multiple controllers that run in parallel and get 500 IOPS. STEC ZeusIOPS claims 17000 random write IOPS. They are innovative and scaring the hell out of the rotating disk manufacturers. I wouldn't be surprised to see Intel come to STEC's aid.

"Well I'm sorry, but not really. When you say 1k in the context of computers, it means 1024."
Shouldn't you say that 1k = b10000000000? Saying that using base ten doesn't make sense and then saying that it is 1024 is kind of hypocritical.
It's not clear that's true. There are a lot of license agreements involved going back to the early 80s. You also have to decide whose definition of "derived work" you are going to use.
So have disk sizes.
Extra stuff has been placed in chips for years:

I heard the reason eBay is suing is that their date turned out to be a dude.
Good idea. I just opened "The United States Patent Office" [theunitedstatespatentoffice.com]. I expect to be rich soon.

Short answer: yes.
