Clock dividers don't work by dividing numbers. You have a counter, and each time the clock changes the counter increases. If you wanted to divide a clock by, say, 8, you would use a simple 3 bit counter, which would only require 3 flip-flops and would cause absolutely no performance hit and a tiny amount of die space.
I wonder why http://cartman-2000.net/ recently went down due to a DMCA notice, if South Park is now going to be going online legally? It has been up for a long time, and it seems like only now with season 12 coming out is it going off. Why would they be doing that now, when they're moving to open it up?
I guess there'll be ads in the legal versions, so Trey&Parker might not want to uninstall uTorrent just yet.
People born before us were not nearly as stupid and primitive as we are led to believe they were, and we are not as brilliant and sophisticated as we think we are. Who's "we"? A bit of a revealing post..
That's the same rhetoric that's been said by the anti-MS crowd for the past 10 years. What makes the next 5 any different? Because 2008 is going to be the year of Linux on the desktop!
The electricity-water analogy saves the day again: If you have a pipe filled with water you could push on one side of the pipe, and at the other end of the pipe a person would very quickly notice the increase in pressure, as water would start flowing out of his side. This doesn't mean that a molecule of water in the pipe would move far at all.
(It's actually to do with electric fields, which do travel at the speed of light, but the water analogy works well)
If this is practical and it's energy potential can be tapped, we'll have at our fingertips, an unlimited power source that won't kill you with radiation. Sounds like nuclear power; unlimited and won't kill you with radiation.
I thought the whole point of this reactor was to provide nuclear power in a self contained package that couldn't be torn apart for enrichment purposes? I hardly think the US would do this if there was a real proliferation risk.
It can be if you're keeping the OS on the drive. Parts of the system that are constantly written over, like the page file, can go through write cycles quickly. This is why you don't want to put an OS on a flash drive, but it's okay for storing normal chunky files.
Page 99:
None of us like to judge or punish. Yet we may be the only people on Earth with a right to punish
Guilt is established by a person's actions and statements, by witnesses and written evidence and by an expertly run E-meter Page 100:
If he comes, ask him to sign a confession of collusion and slander - people at that level often will, just to commit suicide - and publish it in a paid ad in a paper if you get it
Tell the detective "We don't care if they know you're investigating them for us. In fact, the louder the better."
When to Sue
Never if you can help it. It consumes time, means little but trouble for you. Suits are basically best as threats. Page 101:
At this instance there are men hiding in terror on Earth because they found out what they were attacking. There are men dead because they attacked us - for instance Dr. Joe Winter. He simply realized what he did and died. There are men bankrupt because they attacked us
But if you do put the wrong head on a pike, be sure to put it back on the body again as soon as the need for its being on a pike is over Page 102:
It is mercy to put the padlock on such a person's activities. Every word he says or writes against us, every plot he enters into, alike punish him further and further down
How bad can it get? We have evidence in a book Dr. Winder wrote. He knew it consisted of stolen ideas and enthete lies. Every code it sold killed him a little more. And one day he died Page 103:
It's a relief for a bad case to be punished. Sometimes they choose us for their executioners - worse luck Page 107:
2. By having high-toned investigators who have no possibility of being blackmailed, we can make up in effectiveness what we at this time lack in numbers.
L. Ron Hubbard Wow.. I started out by cherry picking the juicy parts, but once Hubbard's memos start appearing it's pretty much all juicy.. Black propaganda--Hubbard, The genus of insane governments--Hubbard, Why governments attack religion--Hubbard
Look at the situation. Every time the enemy offers an attack, you defend against it and that is all you do. Any castle, to hold out, has got to sortie. The proper strategy for any battle is to find a weak point in the enemy lines and attack it.
The reason the United States is losing against communism is simply on these same mathematics. That they are losing is patent. All they are doing is defending the points attacked. We are lucky Hubbard was a sci-fi writer and didn't go on to become a politician.. I would have like to see his handling of the Cuba missile crisis going by the above logic..
I can see the parallels of religion to CoS, but I have to say this goes way beyond any religion. Nothing other than a cult would write such aggressive, practical advice on silencing critics as this. With Immams declaring fatwahs at least that's not actually an officially sanctioned part of Islam, with Scientology it is.
I think all the media attention will eventually kill scientology. Hearing about "Xenu" has been worse for Scientology than hearing about even the worst silencing of critics, blackmail, and manslaughter.
Please, stay off Wikipedia then. Wikipedia doesn't need to document that Joe Blogg's left nostril is 5 millimeters wider than his right. Well who's going to write about that? Joe Blogg can't, because autobiography isn't allowed. And anyway, who's going to search it? Unless Wikipedia becomes so overloaded with information that it can't function isn't it better to err on the side of letting more stuff in? If no-one cares about it no-one will notice it anyway. If it was an encyclopedia you wouldn't want to waste space, but it's a website that is searchable.
The kind of "hand-held" devices Intel are talking about have big batteries and are held with two hands. 1 Watt is not a lower power device in this market. The real hand-held device chip market measures their power in milliwatts not watts. They idle at a single milliwatt and average a 20-50mW in use. Intel is still running orders of magnitude higher than that.
Hmm, if you're saying they would like to be running at such low power, or are trying to get their chips running at lower power, which is what you seem to be implying, I don't think you're right. As the articles says Intel is making 100k 45nm processors per day, how many micro-watt ultra-mobile processords are made per day?
Intel can really be in any processing market they want, and if they're not it's probably because they don't think it's profitable enough.
I think it has something to do with the "Funny" mod not actually increasing your karma, so I think mods give "Insightful" where it should be "Funny" to reward the post with karma, rather than tag the post correctly.
But I'd prefer they kept the karma and kept the tags accurate.
To be specific we're talking about controversy in scientific circles, I think it's safe to say that there's plenty of controversy in the public, unfortunately.
Software that's custom made for the cell chip barely exploits all the parallel compute power, so I doubt gcc would compile Linux to make use of it (if it can even compile to cell, which I'm not sure of).
Slashdot Mirror
Is it just me or is this a stupid April fools joke? It's not funny, it's like it's just trying to get your hopes up.
Ugh.. Get ready for a whole day of hilariously deceptive articles like this..
Definitely no need to do any division in a clock divider.

Implying modern day theoretical physicists are stupid probably isn't something you should do unless you know what you're talking about
India.
Mod parent up, that's the mistake that both GP and GGP made.
Well at least now we know.

But the GP said he was a dictator.. He wouldn't have made that up out of thin air would he?

I wrote an implementation of a board game called Diplomacy, so I find that reassuring, but is it actually true?
The US cut the cables for no reason, only to send the world's conspiracy theorists on a wild goose chase while the real preparations for war are made.
It's the only logical conclusion.
Translation: I wish this had DRM so I could karma whore some anti-MS points.
The problem is lawyers are very biased, and constantly use weasel words.
