Go look up Phillipe Kahn. Unless they fixed them, there are some holes that can be specifically exploited when creating your own company.

Ha Ha! AT&T would sell its mother for a nickel. Glad to see that coming back to bite them in the ass. The old AT&T used to actually care about its customers. The new AT&T simply tolerates them as a revenue source.

Of course, you're talking about the chemical energy in a Kit Kat bar. Were it completely converted to energy, it would produce around 5.8 Terra-watt years of power assuming a lossless conversion.

Huh? "A single $800 Samsung Galaxy S4 has the same power as 375 IBM 3340 computers that cost a total of $33 million in 1973." The 3340 is a DASD ( direct attached storage device), not a computer. The big computer for IBM in 1973 w

Be glad for the rise of Clang/LLVM. When there is a serious competitor, quality will stay higher and the projects will evolve faster. ie. Clang will force gcc to become better. gcc will force Clang to become better. End result, we all

Although the appearance has not changed much, the mechanics have. Helmets built in the mid 1970's were too hard. As a result, during certain accidents, they would enhance the likelihood of breaking one's neck. Later designs would

Trust me, everyone who knows me has heard the story. But you do make a point, I should write it up and put it up on a website to educate others as to some of the abuses that have been occurring for so long.

I made the subversive list, I kid you not, at the age of 12. Needless to say, I stopped caring long long ago. Didn't find out about it until years later, when I was silly enough to think about enlisting in the Navy's Nuclear Propu

There are/were Supercomputer manufacturers that you have never heard of because their sole clients are the NSA and/or DOD. It has been a joke, in Supercomputing circles for some time, that the real top 10 machines are missing from
