A few valid reasons to reject a site from publication in the insider.
1) An obnoxious cover almost the entire screen ad when the page was loaded.
2) Publishing content copied from a second site[^] that doesn't do that.
3) I haven't had a good excuse to dis any of the other sites you've used recently. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, seems like everyone is moving to these popup style ads. But this one is particularly bad. OK, skipping them from now on.

It was not a bug, it was a feature
Just ask MS, they will tell you.

A new survey reinforces the notion that a computer science degree is a smart career move, and finds that students are well aware of it. 13% started at over $100k. :boggle:
|
|
|
|
|
In SF or NY, 100k is not a big deal; it's like 50k in the mid-west.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, yeah, you're right. $100K in SF is probably minimum wage 
But still - for straight out of college? Yeesh.

In central Ohio, recruited grads with credentials can expect 60k -> 70k at larger companies like JPMorgan or Cardinal Health, but smaller companies in the 45k -> 60k range.
|
|
|
|
|
Still way too much for a new grad (IMO - at least the larger company number), but much better.

Sounds about right for my employer in ruralish southwestern pa.

Looks like this[^] comes from a different sample.
Or has the trend changed so rapidly?

Earlier this week, we reported that Microsoft was expected to hit the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) milestone this week but that deadline has now slipped. People. Stop finding bugs!

Animal brains connected up to make mind-melded computer [^]
Then the team made things trickier: each monkey could only control the arm in one dimension, for example. But the monkeys still managed to make the arm reach the target by working together. "They synchronise their brains and they achieve the task by creating a superbrain – a structure that is the combination of three brains," says Nicolelis. He calls the structure a "brainet".

New York Times, today: "IBM Announces Computer Chips More Powerful Than Any in Existence" [^].
But, it's a long way from proof of concept to mass-production.

What sort of 7nm is that, half pitch or gate length? Are they the same now? (edit: it's the half pitch, as expected)
Anyway, looking at the picture it looks like the fin pitch and fin height are both about 25nm (edit: fin pitch is apparently closer to 30nm), fin width is about 7nm (that isn't what they meant, is it? that would be unusual), so the effective gate width is 57nm - I guess they'll make tri-gates in order to get a decent channel width.

And for an editorial with a completely different opinion about if this is a smart move, we have Peter Bright at Arstechnica[^]
