Re: Heat powers chips

I meant using the heat from the compressor which reaches quite a high temp. Would still draw current, but would regenerate some of its own thus cutting down on mains power draw. Put one side of the thing on the compressor and the other to outside, and voila, hundreds of degrees difference. Same effe...

Nvidia worth only $6 billion, any takers?

With NVidia stock so low, a raid would be very easy. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=NVDA:US MS has 48 billion tucked away from the failed Yahoo bid, so $6 b would be chump change. Intel could buy it like AMD did ATI, and get GPU computing to boot, situating itself to take advantage of fu...

There already is a 100% leeway on the deadlines anyhow as per below. http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummary.html http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects shows that a complete p...

Heat powers chips

We've been hearing about nano technology for a while. These guys filed a patent which if produced would have made cooling obsolete. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Eneco_power_chip Now they're in bankruptcy. Then there's this http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070603225026.htm Wonde...
