Processor History

Wondering which processor is right for you? Curious about the history of microprocessors? I found an article today that has some decently indepth views about the history processors and how they work. This tells about the mistakes and advancements in the microprocessor world. Comparisons between CISC and RISC, Motorola, Intel, and AMD. It’s a good read if you have some time. I found the first part somewhat biased against Intel but it seems to be well written.

Taco Bell

Taco Bell, the staple of my college days, has set up a 40×40 foot target in the Pacific Ocean in preparation for Mir’s reentry. If, by some extraordinary stroke of luck, the core of Mir strikes the target, Taco Bell will give every American a free taco.

Taco Bell has insured the floating target against satellite hits in order to cover the cost of the free taco redemption … just in case.

BBBooBBBies

I find it so amusing that the Better Business Bureau‘s online page title reads “BBBOnLine, Inc. — Promoting Trust and Confidence on the Internet.”

Come on, guys. This is the same site whose “Hyperlinking Policy” supposedly only allows links “from entities that are information sources or public service-oriented, such as news media organizations, government agencies and search engines.” In other words, the BBB don’t want no links from no filthy plebeian sites like this one.
