I think this comic nailed it:
Microsoft Advice Against Nehalem Xeons Snuffed Out 154
Eukariote writes "In an article outlining hidden strife in the processor world, Andreas Stiller has reported the scoop that Microsoft advised against the use of Intel Nehalem Xeon (Core i7/i5) processors under Windows Server 2008 R2, but was pressured by Intel to refrain from publishing this advisory. The issue concerns a bug causing spurious interrupts that locks up the Hypervisor of Server 2008. Though there is a hotfix, it is unattractive as it disables power savings and turbo boost states. (The original German-language version of the article is also available.)"
How To See In 3D On Your iPhone 94
waderoush writes "Some of the coolest media technologies predate the Web and the PC — in fact, they predate the 20th century. My column in Xconomy explores the world of 19th-century stereoscopes and stereo views, which are the all-but-forgotten forerunners to anaglyphic 3D, VR goggles, and other modern stereo vision systems. As it turns out, it's pretty easy to 'free-view' vintage stereo images on an iPhone or other small screen, getting the full 3-D effect without any other viewing aids. The article has instructions for accessing a collection of old stereo images using the new Seadragon Mobile iPhone app from Microsoft Live Labs." The stereoscope, that killer technology of the last century but one, was invented in 1859 by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., who gave it away and never made a dime off it. If you don't have an iPhone and want to get the feel of free viewing on a computer monitor, start here at Roush's Flickr photostream.

They are what limits RPMs, which is why rotary engines have been known to reach over 10,000 RPM, and why a [very very built] small block tchevy :) with a Coates rotary valve system has reached over 12,000 RPM (can't find cite for that, but their page says "The comparative efficiencies of the spherical rotary valve combustion engine have enabled engine speeds of 14,850 RPMs."
Hmm, my inline 600 ccm Yamaha R6 motorcycle engine tops out at 15.000 RPM, and it got nothing special to it. Just good old valves and springs.
And if you want to overcome the problem of floating valves at high RPMS you can do like ducati and have a forced closing of the valve (desmodromic valve).
The limiting factor in engine RPMS is the piston mass, you can't have a piston that travles too fast and wieghs too much, or it will knock the crankshaft silly and break. That is why high performance, high reving engines has started to go "oversquare" (bigger bore, shorter stroke).

Why publish anything to the public anymore.
these days it goes to the mainstream.
when its mainstream related its abused for profit to an extent that cannot be allowed.
then it dies.
happened to the warez scene.

now it goes back to where it belongs, in the new underground being established, and where it should be long. evolution in progress, something evolves and it blossoms, and it will return to its roots.
we need these grassroots, because out entire society will decay without renewal.

Journal Journal: New wording of your signatur
I think you can reword your signature "Gods don't kill people - people with Gods kill people."
to "Gods don't kill people - Gods' people kill." A little simpler and not so straight forward.
