Once we ordered to our local pastry shop a cake, and they delivered it to us on Sunday late morning. We opened the cake at the end of lunch, and to our suprise on the cake surface there was a big "happy birthday, Grandpa!". We called the shop to fix the wrong delivery, but they were closed till the next Monday, too late for the cake to survive...

Given the performance of the on-die voltage regulator, the chip could very useful for designing miniature power supplies. Unfortunately the CPU and the associated digital crap ruin what seems to be a very succesful design of an innovative power supply regulator.

Slashdot polls are more accurate.

...why play with a simulation, when you can easily get the real thing ?

You, insensitive superclod!

Now they will send to Slashdot a takedown notice to take down the message about the takedown request they sent to google to take down the list of their takedown requests....

I just finished cleaning my patio from pidgeon droppings, you insensitive clod!

...we will have a huge excess of network bandwidth. What could we do with it ?!?

So pilots will soon be able to fight staying at home, while Yahoo employees now must stay at their workplace.

If you apply a 20% reduction to the number of pentagon sides, it shrinks to a square. You can go further, and apply a 40% reduction so that it becomes a triangle. But if you apply a 60% cut the pentagon shrinks to a segment. As a consequence workers will find quite difficult to move along the only remaining hallway. The consequences of a 80% cut are left as an exercise to the reader. It should also be obvious that applying cuts that are not multiple of 20% will change the pentagon into a fractal shape, with unpredictable consequences over the productivity of people working inside.

rm -fR -u $USER /dev/eth0 should work.

I tried it on my car: I don't have a iPhone but an android smartphone, but I guess the results shouldn't be that different. Consumption of bandwidth is huge and reception is crappy, since on my commuting path I don't have a reliable UMTS/GSM data coverage. Furthermore one hour of reception drains about 50% of the battery.
On the other side, my Sony shortwave receiver needs 4 AA cells every two weeks, and can pick up plenty of stations. Unfortunately BBC, Voice of America and other broadcasters are shutting down their shortwave facilities, since they claim that internet is the future...sigh.

Just split the ROM mask image into subimages, and ask engineers to decode a piece of the embedded code to access pr0n sites, and you will get the job done in a few minutes.
