   When I first got into assembly language programming, I used MS-DOS DEBUG as my assembler, since it was included on basically every PC in those days. I was extremely frustrated because my textbook's later chapters used MASM as the ass

   Usually I go with "USB drive", but it's not one of the options so I upvoted "USB flash drive". "Sneakernet" is a related term I sadly only heard in an era when most PC's are networked. "How are

    So I'm trying to figure out if setting up a new plant costs $100 million and takes a year to come online, and if there's no neon then we can't produce $500 million worth of chips a month. Why isn't some chipmaker or con

    This article gives me more questions than answers. - (1) If neon is produced by fractional distillation of air, doesn't that mean it can be produced anywhere? What's stopping someone from building a plant in the US or Europe or C

    I dabbled a bit in FPGA's a few years ago. My conclusion is that the whole digital circuit design industry is ripe for disruption by open source, and I'm rather surprised it hasn't happened yet. There might be money to be ma
