Post-post PC: Materials and Technologies That Could Revive Enthusiast Computing 128
Dputiger writes "Given the recent emphasis on mobile computing and the difficulty of scaling large cores, it's easy to think that enthusiast computing is dead. Easy — but not necessarily true. There are multiple ways to attack the problem of continued scaling, including new semiconductor materials, specialized co-processor units that implement software applications in silicon, and enhanced cooling techniques to reduce on-die hot spots."

indium, gallium, and arsenide
See, that's why tech writers have editors, who can correct 'indium and gallium arsenide' to 'indium, gallium, and arsenide'.

I had that happen to me, too, once. I was certain that I had got it--my first period. But it turned out to be related to my penis. When I went to the Dr. to ask about my menstrual cycle, he picked it up right away that my penis looked very strange. Indeed, he had never seen a penis that looked like mine. I had always thought that my penis was normal, but now I was afraid. Was it my fault? Did I do something wrong that caused my penis to develop this way? Will I ever be able to get pregnant?
My Dr. suggested surgery, or at least serious psychotherapy. But none of those options appealed to me. I became depressed and withdrawn. I lost my job at the supermarket and resorted to petty crime and prostitution to survive. I became addicted to meth. Eventually, I found myself in jail, where everyone seemed to have a much bigger penis than I have. Finally, I realized the problem. The penis must indeed go. I found a lawyer willing to work pro boner and petitioned the state for a surgical solution to my continued confusion. We won. I was scheduled for my procedure, as well as the follow-up whormonal support, when all of a sudden it was cancelled out of the blue. The governor, in a tight race for re-erection, had enacted an order to halt my operation, saying that it was a waste of state funds. So here I am, caught in limbo, with a tiny penis that bleeds every month. Please, I implore all of you, help me get out of here.

Take a second look.
I already took a second look on your previous post. This would be the third.

>> The PC is the correct form factor for getting work done by humans.
Unfortunately most humans just want to play Angry Birds while taking a crap.
