We're not on this particular test.

Intel has been doing this for a long time. They know how to make money off of it. Dice Holdings on the other hand only seems to know how to ignore their readers and create a "BETA" website that is flat out painful to read.

Is it a coincidence that the water shortages started with the whiteboarding of Slashdot Beta? I think not.

From viewing the diagram in the link, it appears that the ChipSiP is larger in both volume and mass. I'm not 100% sure that those specs should be considered "better." I could build a frame to attach a laptop to the side of my head and blow away the ChipSiP specs out of the water but nobody would want to actually wear it.

For the portion of the population that has a habit of stabbing a screwdriver into their car body panels, this is not the car for them. I'd hazard to guess that very few people have that habit.

Well, here in the real world, we have DR plans based upon the suggestions of the trade journals and then we have the actual implementation of the DR plan based upon the budget cuts of the past X years. Guess which one includes multiple redundant datacenters in locations of a significant distance away from each other and which one doesn't include those datacenters.

Awesome, I'd love to see what they can do eventually turning this into a 3d map. 1mm^3 at nanometer resolution would be a huge data set though. The possibilities of seeing the processes interact from different POV would be very cool though. Throw full motion into the mix and you've got yourself a nice base to create a near perfect replica of life.

So we're back to AOL keywords is it?

Simple answer, if "a guy like this" just took donations for his own personal gain, then he would not be "a guy like this" and would instead be an a-hole douchebag. As has been already stated, if you want to directly support him, buy his stuff.

I2 is meant for transmitting huge amounts of research data like black hole simulations between universities and other research institutions. GigU is meant to connect residential communities in the areas surrounding the member universities so they have access to fast broadband.

Putting classes online doesn't necessarily mean that the class is held online. I would have loved it if all of my classes had been archived online. It would free me to concentrate on what the professor was staying instead of concentrating on writing down notes as fast as possible. I could also go back to the lectures at a later time while studying for a test or even after I've finished the class and want to review a concept that is built upon in a class that follows.

If you're looking for something that won't have a direct cost to the school district to implement, take a look at Matterhorn ( http://opencast.org/matterhorn/ ). Camtasia Relay by Techsmith is also a product built for this purpose.

Granted, it could be a simple ROT13 but the mere fact that the passwords were "encrypted" and that the data didn't contain the entire credit card number indicates that the company or somebody inside the company at least put a little bit of effort into securing the data. Unfortunately, securing data is hard and it only takes one oversight to make it vulnerable. The true test will be what the company does now that the breach has occurred.

No, they haven't addressed the meltdown. TEPCO decided early on that they would completely ignore the meltdown while they worked on getting the bathroom facilities working again.

I'm not sure what news stories you were reading but the fact that multiple power stations were shut down was widely reported. Here's a quick link that took me all of 10 seconds to find on Google: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12711707

Also, if you bothered to read the article linked in the summary, you'd see that only one out of three pumps failed at Tokai leaving the power station safe enough to do a controlled shutdown.
