Do you really need 4,000 chargers though? I don't think so. Between charging at home and charging at work, it shouldn't be necessary to occupy the charger every single time you pull in. Maybe once or twice a week, depending on you

Its not anonymity that fuels the problem, its proximity. When someone has to drive 1,000 miles to try to beat someone up for using fighting words, people are far more brazen in their rhetoric. This is why, as I've posted before here on

Its not too terribly expensive to have a decent mobile production setup that also fits in a camera bag, nowadays. I've always felt like, if you can afford a $2000 laptop, you can afford a $500 camera, a $50 ring ling, and a $100 microp

I think this is still an oversimplification of what's actually going on. Its not so much that the skills themselves are in demand, its the enormous experience that someone who can command that kind of fee has. The skill set you're

I take it Jim fired you at some point in your career. Unless you're arrogant enough to look back at everything Jim's designed, from the DEC Alpha 21164, 21264, VAX 8800, K7, A4, A5, Tesla Autopilot hardware, and of course Zen, and

There is no way Intel is going to exit fabrication. They're using TSMC out of necessity, not desire. Intel's fabs are integral not only to their success and profits, but to the infrastructure of the United States itself. We simply
