Power is proportional to switching frequency and to the square of the supply voltage. Reducing the supply voltage is the main vehicle to reduce power consumption, but with standard CMOS you run into the problem that transistors leak a little current when they're run at or near the threshold voltage because they don't turn off completely (you need significantly more than the threshold voltage for that.) So in a totem pole circuit (used in standard CMOS) current leaks straight from Vcc to ground - not good. They must have designed some tricky circuits that avoid this current path although the transistors are still conducting a little. Of course the real reason behind this is that even standard CMOS designs suffer from leakage -- the smaller the more leakage -- so they can apply these techniques to standard designs as well. That will probably be a necessity at some point beyond 22nm.
This. They're acting exactly as if caught red-handed. They've been a professional PR organization in controversial fields and a hostile environment for decades and they can't spin this? Hmm.
That sounds reasonable given how they were begging for donations "to defend themselves" against the leak. Although calling "being afraid of getting outed as a donor to a right wing money laundering organization" "repositioning" is a bit generous. If I was one of the donors I'd run like hell since they can't keep highly sensitive information under wraps.
the kind of nonsense I used to see on some Internet forums where some nasty little prick, when cornered, would make some vague legal threat. Might as well threaten that Jesus will come down and stomp on your balls.
And they often don't detect motorcycles so you stand at a red light for a few minutes without crosstraffic until you decide to go ahead against the red light.
Mod parent up. The Crosshair mobos are top of the line, on par with Asus' top Intel boards (actually better because AMD chipsets have better features like more SATA III ports.) GP doesn't know what he's talking about.
Exactly. The macro trend is deflationary and trillions more will be deleveraged through bankruptcies and foreclosures, especially if/when more shit in Europe hits the fan or the economy tanks again. Significantly lower money volume equals deflation. The inflationary policies of the Fed are designed to offset that.
A pot of boiling water and a large towel does it for me every time. Heat kills many bacteria (keep it as hot as you can barely stand) and it's amazing how much water condenses inside your nose and runs out. I can feel and hear the sinuses popping and crackling within seconds. Have a roll of kitchen towels handy - normal tissues break immediately when they get that wet.
I have met plenty of people who really believe that climate-gate was a smoking gun -- to the point that they cannot even read the complete emails, or the results of the many investigations.
There are plenty of those right here on Slashdot, just like antivaxxers in the other thread. I shudder at the thought about what the non-technical crowd believes in. No wonder the country is in such a mess. Pink unicorns everywhere.
That's exactly the problem. Just like you only licensed the genes you inherited from your parents if a corporation patented them because they were found to be beneficial. You should probably pay them a fee or cease using those genes.
Slashdot Mirror
Those evil scientists surely faked their data because they were paid by the medial-industrial complex! Where is autismgate?
It's being narrowed down to genetics so hopefully they can identify a gene combination sooner or later. Then potential parents could have a test.
It's back up now.
We have numeric priorities, P1 being the highest. Unless a P0 comes along. I'm waiting for a P-1, then all bets are off.

There is only one party with two right wings.

This isn't any different.
That caching argument is only valid if you run Windows.
I run Flashcache on Linux which doesn't need an overpriced Z68 motherboard.
There's practically no iron on my bike.
Unless you want VT-d/IOMMU and/or ECC in a high performance CPU.
Bulldozer is a poor man's Opteron while Intel is afraid of cannibalizing Xeon sales.
Sometimes you have two of those morons and one changes into your lane, forcing you to stop. Happens to me all the time.
And they often don't detect motorcycles so you stand at a red light for a few minutes without crosstraffic until you decide to go ahead against the red light.
Only if you buy cheap motherboards. There are very good mobos for AMD CPUs. They just aren't much cheaper than equivalent Intel boards.

Or the BBC.
The movie will, of course, be a disappointment.
Unless you consider Rule 34.
The 90s called and wanted their exercise article back.

Of course! Can't have unlicensed Monsanto IP in the sewer.

Antivaxxer arguments have been disproved again and again - by better scientists than I am.
