  1. Transistor technology moving forward?

    We've been on the verge of hitting the physical limits for at least five process generations now. For example, we got to the point where the gate oxide just a few atoms thick ... couldn't be any thinner. What happened? We moved to a different, previously not manufacturable gate structure ...
  2. engineer

    Being able to quickly learn and then apply the knowledge you've gained is important. How smart you have to be depends somewhat on who you work for. Some places will have short design cycles, good processes, and relatively easy access to the designers. I think that those conditions would...
  3. Slowing down way below speed limit b/c cop on the road...

    Where I live, the law requires you to merge left (or slow down if no merge is available) if a cop has someone pulled over on the shoulder. Of course, why someone would choose to obey that rule and not the speed limit is another story.
  4. Job Interview Homework Assignment

    ... so if I answer the question, do I get the job???
  5. What music are you listening to now?

    Def Leppard - Switch 625
  6. PR Guy Gets A Little Handsy With TV Reporter

    From the comments: "Dan's had a problem with people touching him ever since he was an altar boy." FTW
  7. Frivolous lawsuit of the day: Lady sues for being left sleeping on plane.

    She doesn't need a lawyer, she needs Dave Carroll :D
  8. Find Speed,distance,motion Via 3 axis Accelerometer

    Since the sensor will always be reporting the acceleration due to gravity, and it's a bit noisy, you'll have difficulty generating direct speed measurements. Especially if it will be carried around by a person. Constant fluctuations in sensor orientation, even while standing still will be...
  9. How fast do you drive?

    In most places, that's the law. If there's a cop on the side of the road with lights on, you have to change lanes if possible or slow down if not. The amount of acceptable slow-down varies, but where I live it is "at least 5 MPH under the posted limit".
  10. How are babies made?

    In my experience, first stop is a little evaluation room. There they check dilation, baby position, and contraction strength/regularity. If birth seems imminent, you get to go to a 'delivery suite' ... otherwise you get to go home to wait some more. Evaluation rooms and delivery suites are...
  11. Anyone wear Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contacts?

    I've been waiting for a cure to keratoconus for about 20 years now. Still no cure in sight. I'm using custom-fit RGP's. The ones I have to use are expensive ... ~$400 for the pair, but I'm able to get 20/20 in one eye and 20/50 in the other. My left eye has a much steeper slope, which makes...
  12. What music are you listening to now?

    Alannah Myles - Rock This Joint
  13. Clash of the Titan or How To Train Your Dragon? Looking for mindless fun.

    I just saw "How To Train Your Dragon" with my family. I enjoyed it and would recommend it, especially in 3D. In fact, I'm looking for an excuse to go see it again...
  14. What is your profession? Vote in the poll.

    Engineering here. Product Development Engineer in the semiconductor industry to be specific.
  15. Do you stick your tongue out when working hard?

    When I was younger, I'd notice my tongue sticking out fairly often. It wasn't a conscience thing. I'd take a break from whatever I was involved in and suddenly realize, "My tongue feels funny ... was I really just sticking my tongue out?!?!" I have tried to get rid of that habit, bit I still...
  16. xkcd

    Hmm, doesn't support grep, though.
  17. Anyone here works on Edwards Air Force Base, California

    I grew up in Lancaster ... graduated from Antelope Valley High. My family spent a lot of time in the mountains during the summer. We would do day trips up around Littlerock or the Devil's Punchbowl. We would take week-long trips up to the Sierra National Forest. One of my favorite spots was...
  18. A question on silicon wafers

    No super-size masks. We use steppers to repeat the exposure over the surface of the wafer. A single mask will have multiple die on it, which is a large part of the reason we print over the edges of the wafers ... to print the ones near the edge that will be complete, we also print the ones on...
  19. So how does this therapist thing work?

    This is a generalization ... you may find exceptions :) Psychiatrists generally deal with the "physical" causes of mental health issues. They are likely to work towards finding a prescription that will benefit you. They have pills that can help with depression and ones that can help calm...
  20. So how does this therapist thing work?

    For the mechanics of picking a doctor and paying them, you really need to talk to your HR rep or insurance company. They may have a list of approved care providers that you'll need to choose from in order for the services to be covered. Generally there are two types of mental health...
  21. How much money would it take for you right now to retire for good?

    $3.5 Million is the minimum it would take to get me to go for it. I'd be happier with $6 Million since that would give me a nice buffer for unexpected circumstances.
  22. Are you afraid to tell us your weight?

    Afraid to say how much I weigh? Nope. No fear involved at all. A bit embarrassed maybe, because I'm heavier than I should be. I've been eating better and exercising more, so I'm 10lbs down from my all-time high. I still have a ways to go to get back to my ideal. I'm 6'5" tall and...
  23. Relocating to Palmdale/Lancaster area, anyone from around there? i'm from the east coast and have never been there

    I grew up there and still have friends in the area, though I haven't visited for several years now. There is a mall there, and there is a Best Buy ... not sure about Fry's. There are several local airports. Fox Field, Rosamond Skypark, and the Mojave Airport are all in the area. I...
  24. Flying at 70,000 feet

    In my younger days I lived near Edwards AFB and knew a U2 pilot. He had a lot of great stories to tell. He had some of the food that they eat and I got to try it. It was tasty, but the texture was weird.
  25. There is a tsunami advisory in effect which includes the coastal areas of California and Oregon

    Just yesterday, the news picked up a story from Cannon Beach talking about trying to get approval for a tsunami shelter since it is unlikely that all the residents of Cannon Beach would be able to evacuate in time in the case of a tsunami. I wonder if this will "grease the skids"....
  26. Any Lurkers Out There?

    </lurk> I'm here lurking several times a week. I tend to follow HT more than OT, but I do like to come in here for laughs. <lurk>
  27. Bad jokes thread

    Q. What's grosser than biting into an apple and finding a worm? A. Biting into an apple and finding half of a worm!
  28. Do you have any connections to any "important" people?

    My wife is really good friends with Jon Heder's sister.
  29. The baby my sister is carrying has a cyst on the brain. Anyone else go through this?

    Yes. One of my children had a cyst observed in his brain during an ultrasound. I remember the doctor told us that there was a small chance that the cyst could be an indicator for developmental retardation, but none of the other indicators were observed. He told us about a test that could...
  30. Pipeline Stall/Flush

    Good question! Currently power planes in chips aren't that granular. It would be cool to see if building a big 'ol power control network on the chip would be worth it. How much power could you really save by only activating stages that were working on valid instructions? How much latency...
  31. I need some fiction books on genetic engineering.

    Another classic novel dealing with genetic tinkering: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
  32. Why are wind turbine blades so skinny?

    Another aspect of the design is the need to have a variable pitch on the blades. Varying the pitch allows the blades to maintain a constant rotational velocity over a range of wind speeds. The root of the blade needs to be skinny enough to rotate around without extending past the hub...
  33. So it looks like the markets will tank today!

    Tomorrow mornin' when I have my bowl of whole-grain cheerios, the morning paper better read, "It's been FIXED!" - Oscar Rogers :)
  34. 16nm node for semiconductor lithography is the end of Moore's law

    So yeah, the OP convolved issues. He said that lithography wouldn't work past the 16nm node due to quantum tunneling. If you take that literally, it is false. The steppers, lasers, masks, lenses, and photoresist used in litho tools could care less about quantum tunneling. Their issue is...
  35. Need someone to break down info on stream processors

    Another analogy that might help: A CPU is like a swiss army knife, and a graphics processor is like a fillet knife. If you have to clean and fillet a fish, there's no better tool than a fillet knife ... that's what it was made to do. Sure you could use that fillet knife to dig a cork...
  36. poll- how many of you will not be voting because your candidate has no chance of winning in your state?

    There are several issues on the ballot that will impact me more than the outcome of the presidential race will. I've got the local school district, the county government and a nearby community college all proposing multi-million dollar bond initatives that will significantly increase my...
  37. What would it take for you to buy parts from a local retailer?

    I buy locally when the price is close to the online price plus shipping and they actually have the item in stock.
  38. Roll call-Oregon members

    Yep, Banks is definitely the Bizarro version of Oregon ... though I would point out that North Plains is just as close to Verboort as Banks is. :P
  39. Roll call-Oregon members

    I live in Banks ... you'd never know it was in Oregon if it didn't rain all winter here. We have a 1/4 mile dirt race track that holds races every weekend all summer long. Right next to that is Sunset part with four baseball diamonds (no soccer field) and behind that is the local gun club...
  40. Which type of house is better...over all

    Houses with two stories above ground are cheaper to build. Excavating a basement is expensive. Basements seem to be more common in areas that have colder climates. Partly that is due to building codes. If it gets cold enough to freeze 'shallow' pipes, the building codes will typically...
