pipe

They think a magic bullet will come along to make multicores speed up my kind of work; I think its a pipe dream.

Most don't post on threads like this, so I feel the need to pipe up and say "This is quite doable, and done, much more than you might expect.

So, Google had a pipe dream about turning carriers into dumb pipes, and had to face reality when the carriers wouldn't let them.

First, patents always issue on a Thursday - and any large company usually has a number in the pipe.

An analogy for a memristor is an interesting kind of pipe that expands or shrinks when water flows through it.

If water flows through the pipe in one direction, the diameter of the pipe increases, thus enabling the water to flow faster.

If the water pressure is turned off, the pipe will retain it most recent diameter until the water is turned back on.

If water flows through the pipe in the opposite direction, the diameter of the pipe decreases, thus slowing down the flow of water.

Just as with an electrical resistor, the flow of water through the pipe is faster if the pipe is shorter and/or it has a larger diameter.

When someone says "I learned how to ride a bike over the weekend", the response is never "I don't see you doing tricks in a half-pipe, so you really only 'learned how to pedal down the street'.

I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard?

I figure, fuck it, while I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard?

The water itself is analogous to electrical charge, the pressure at the input of the pipe is similar to voltage, and the rate of flow of the water through the pipe is like electrical current.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a memristor is, as I was, HP has an easy-to-understand analogy on its FAQ page about memristors:"A common analogy for a resistor is a pipe that carries water.

It's the kind of language a lawyer would use to qualify a patent clause.- We do not provide direct access to our servers.- We do not provide direct access nor is there a backdoor.- O, but we do still pipe all of your data to external NSA servers.

Sure, if you're in management you'd hate him twice weekly but I note that Mel did not get fired, instead moved on to greener pastures- I compare this with the way a jeweler would make his little works of art versus the way a production welder connects pieces of pipe.

I can still knock together a shell script, tail -f a logfile and pipe it through grep, get some vague clue about why something crashed by casting my eye over a Java exception error, and make a lazy developer deeply uncomfortable when he realises that - would you believe it!

That the cable companies did next to nothing to combat this disruption is astounding given that they already owned and controlled a pipe into the customer's house!Imagine if, in 2002, the cable companies had come offered a little, Roku-esque box which could hold two almost DVD-quality movies.
