In LINUX specifically RHEL, Oracle found a platform to push their FileSystem (ocfs2 integrated into RH's kernel now), their Cluster (RAC), and their OEM (Grid) in such a way that they could support/orchestrate a solution that their customers wanted.
The article says that a thermal diode is responsible for triggering the throttled-down performance. But then it also says that the throttling happens due to the power consumption. These are different things: power consumption only causes the temperature to rise if the cooling is not slurping off excess heat fast enough.
Anyone care to comment on this seeming discrepancy?
Assuming that it really is thermal throttling, I would love to see what a good tech site like Tom's might be able to determine about the throttled down CPU when using various heatsinks. If that feature is really there then you should expect more powerful heatsinks give the same temperature as lesser heatsinks, but higher performance.
In other words, it is possible to see this as a feature, not a bug. You get 1.5G when the processor is capable of it. You get half that when you are running hot; but with good enough cooling you should always get the highest performance possible.
"Overclocking" may go away, replaced by "overcooling".
Think of it as Evolution in Action.
If you do stupid things then hopefully it will lessen your chance at breeding and nurturing children that act as stupid as you are.
Once Man started migrating around the world and bringing the flora and fauna he domesticated with him; the balance was shot. The grains of the Fertile crescent are now grown on six continents and last I checked dogs and cats are on seven.
Yes Gene Engineering tinkers with Nature, but nature has been under Man's hand for a while now.
Bio-Engineering is seeking to ameliorate much of that rough handedness of the last 30K+ years.
The only other way Nature is going to get back into balance is with the mass extinction of Man.

The act of firmly placing the jammer on a scanner activates the power and the jammer works for about 20 minutes. That is long enough to unload that trailer full of PentiumX chips or sneak a shelf full of warez out of the local corporate mechandising centre. And the cost? Mere pennies as compared to the cent for each package they protected.
Of course they really want to put the scanner in your cable box at home and scan the goods you bring home. And as long as Geeks keep making the countermeasures available , Joe LameAss Grifter will be just smart enough to use them in his thefts.

In many states, you get printed each time you are arrested.
Just by using an old set vs a new set for one suspect, you could then get a "Z" reference to other prints.
Since I have been printed 4 times in the last 5 years ( Professional Certffication and background checks) , I can tell you that the TX DPS has different imprints on my fingerprints and that they do differ. My girlfriend's prints are slowly disappearing, she's an EPA lab chemist. That in itself generates a "Z" factor. So there is a basis to run a true comparison test to determine the APIS DB's accuracy in matches.
Seriously, Most of Stirling works are about authoritarian worlds where slaves are kept because it is "better" for them. You see people are too stupid too run their own lives in his novels and his protagonists enslave others for the good of humanity. At least John Norman's Gor novels had some good Aliens to go with the S&M Bondage, etc.
I believe he came out of the Belgian Congo and still thinks like an Afrikaner from 1930's.
SM Stirling's Draka novels reflect his personal ideas just a little too much from what I see of his postings in Baen's Bar. http://www.baen.com/bar/Default.htm
Yes Nader cost Gore the Presidency. Thus spoke those who believe in democracy, not just a 2 party system. Back in '92 it was Perot who cost Bush his reelection. Maybe Perot was apologizing when he came out last week and supported the Son of Bush on November 7th.
The lesson: Ideals have a price but if you don't support your convictions you also lose.
The government first use of these will be to monitor drug traffic in places like Colombia and Mexico. Since the FARC don't have Anti-Air capability for 40K+ takedowns but routinely screw with helicopters and even some surveilance aircraft (prop), this is an ideal system to gather intel.
Only later will these be used for beneficial purposes such as migratory pattern research and pr0n w/o borders servers in the sky;)
"While Gore won the backing of some of high-tech's biggest names, Republican foe George W. Bush has managed to get more of the industry's campaign donations."
Because those of us who have made some serious money of the internet economy realize that Gore intends to increase U.S. government regulations regarding the Net. Trivializing a global phenomenon into a regional bureaucratic morass of ill-thought controls just because Gore "invented" it.
There was one corporation for each sector of the economy.
One corporation had media (Time Warner-AOL), one had energy (Chevron-Texaco), one had computers (Microsoft),etc., etc. And that is just from watching CNN this week.
