Intel issued official financial warning !
Without ozone holes world would be even hotter !
It was the models which included human factors that most closely matched the temperature profiles recorded at the poles. "For me, it can't be more clear that human activity is responsible," says Karpechko.
Ironically, the models found that warming would have been even more marked if the ozone layer which cuts out harmful solar radiation had not been depleted by the chlorofluorocarbon chemicals once used in aerosols.
BAD OZONE comment: How nice our own shits cancel each other.

AMD Shanghai on November 13th
The top range Opteron 8384 should end up clocked at 2.7GHz with a 75W TDP and it should sell for $2,509 or $2,240, depending on who you ask.

The next time bomb: Debt insurance #!###!!
Economic growth will help prevent another financial time bomb--credit default swaps, a form of debt insurance--from exploding. The nominal amount peaked at $62 trillion and is now down to $55 trillion. Renewed prosperity will enable big companies to service their debts, thus nullifying the need to ever collect on the insurance. Most of these swaps will expire within five years.
Ironically: Phoenix is dying, will it ressurect from its ashes?
NASA'S Phoenix Mars Lander entered safe mode late yesterday in response to a low-power fault brought on by deteriorating weather conditions. While engineers anticipated that a fault could occur due to the diminishing power supply, the lander also unexpectedly switched to the "B" side of its redundant electronics and shut down one of its two batteries.

Bush foolish style GOP faces historical landslide electorial defeat !
Aides to George W.Bush, former Reagan White House staff and friends of John McCain have all told The Sunday Telegraph that they not only expect to lose on November 4, but also believe that Mr Obama is poised to win a crushing mandate.
They believe he will be powerful enough to remake the American political landscape with even more ease than Ronald Reagan did in 1980.

NOW Chips, Flat panel displays and solar cells drive global warming
And we globally fight against thousand time less lethal enemy CO2.
Nitrogen trifluoride is one of several gases used during the manufacture of liquid crystal flat-panel displays, thin-film photovoltaic cells and microcircuits
Using new analytical techniques, a team led by Scripps geochemistry professor Ray Weiss made the first atmospheric measurements of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), which is thousands of times more effective at warming the atmosphere than an equal mass of carbon dioxide.
The amount of the gas in the atmosphere, which could not be detected using previous techniques, had been estimated at less than 1,200 metric tons in 2006. The new research shows the actual amount was 4,200 metric tons. In 2008, about 5,400 metric tons of the gas was in the atmosphere, a quantity that is increasing at about 11 percent per year.
"This result reinforces the critical importance of basic research in determining the overall impact of the information technology industry on global climate change, which has already been estimated to be equal to that of the aviation industry," added Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications at UCSD, who was not involved in the Scripps study.

Obama's lead on McCain grows to 12 points
"Obama's expansion is really across the board," pollster John Zogby said. "It seems to be among almost every demographic group."
Now what is left? To stay at home. Don't even think about it. Now is needed more than ever for all to vote for Obama to give him solid electoral base and public confidence, not to be dethroned soon by war dogs.

They won’t be ready to put a maglev train into service at those speeds until 2025 at the earliest.
That year you will ride 263 km between Tokyo and Nagoya in a half hour or so by maglev train.

Intel issues financial warning #!
Intel Corp. said Tuesday its third-quarter profit rose 12 percent from a year ago but the world's biggest computer chip maker warned of an uncertain outlook because of a global financial crisis.
"As we look to the fourth quarter, it is hard to know what impact the financial crisis will have on end customer demand," he said.
How bad can it get?
"As we look to the fourth quarter, it is hard to know what impact the financial crisis will have on end customer demand," he said.
How bad can it get?
""People expect the worst,"" said Doug Freedman of American Technology Research in San Francisco, speaking of Intel earnings, which are due on Tuesday and come against a backdrop of dismal economic news that has sent stocks down
Regarding stocks, Intel have lost a half of shares value, since this year beginning.
Seems like it faces perfect desert storm.
Add to that certain legal blow up from EU. Because time is out.
Intel has asked the European Union's second highest court for more time to respond to EU charges that it paid a retailer to favour PCs using its computer chips. The "statement of objections" the Commission filed in July was on top of charges in 2007 that Intel gave computer makers rebates to limit their use of AMD chips or avoid them altogether.

Cray's Kraken AMD based supercomputer cracks Petaflop limit
Kraken is a Cray XT5 system?. In its current configuration, Kraken has 48 cabinets, contating a total of 4512 compute nodes and 48 service nodes. Each compute node has 4 cores, for a total of 18048 compute cores.
Kraken runs Compute Node Linux (CNL) on each compute node. CNL is designed to minimize system overhead, thus allowing scalable low-latency global communication. Each of the compute nodes contain 2.3 GHz quad-core AMD Opteron processors and 4 GB of memory. The service nodes consist of a 2.3 GHz dual-core AMD Opteron processor with 8 GB of memory. Each node is connected to a Cray SeaStar router through HyperTransport, and the SeaStars are all interconnected in a 3-D-torus topology. The resulting interconnect has very high bandwidth, low latency, and extreme scalability.
EDIT: Cray XT5 is actually Jaguar system with 8 socket blades using quad core Opterons. I firmly believe that Jaguar uses AMD's new, not yet announced 45nm Deneb processors with 6MB L3 inside. That will surely push Kraken's 250 Tflops beyond Petaflops limit.

Over half the total UK armed forces has gone missing #!#
A computer hard drive with personal details of some 100,000 serving military personnel, over half the total armed forces, has gone missing, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Friday.
Now, who is the moron of the highest category? Also on the portable hard drive was data on 600,000 potential applicants to the armed forces and the names of their referees, in the latest in a string of embarrassing data losses by the government in the past year.

Vice-President Dick Cheney famously told former Treasury Secretary Paul H. O'Neill, that "deficits don't matter."Why Mr. McCain stress "don't matter" problems at all? Does he proves that way that Mr. Bush and Cheney irresponsible as presidential dynamic duo?
Or he simply tries too late too little approach. Each US family debt is now close to $100 000.

But there is no backup for Side B, so last week NASA decided to delay its mision to service the telescope from October to no earlier than February in order to prepare a replacement part for flight.

Rain Man safe airplane attacked by wireless terrorists ?

CERN: Human error likely caused atom-smasher breakdown !
Thanks God, not all bad is only in computers.
Human error was likely to blame for the breakdown of the world's largest atom-smasher, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said Monday.One of the 10,000 connections that join the 27-kilometre (16.9-mile) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) likely overheated and made a hole that leaked helium into the tunnel, the head of the project at CERN, Lyn Evans, told a press conference.
The leak happened September 19, crippling the atom-smasher, which will not be up and running before the end of April 2009, CERN said.
Computer glitch made Rain Man airplane panicking
A Qantas Airways Ltd. aircraft forced to make an emergency landing yesterday experienced ``computer problems'' moments before it plunged mid-flight, injuring more than 30 passengers, investigators said.
The carrier hasn't had a fatal plane accident in its 87- year history. Its safety record was made famous in the movie ``Rain Man'' in which Dustin Hoffman's character insisted on flying with the airline.
Passenger Mark Bell described how a child sitting next to him was thrown from his seat. ``We watched him hit the ceiling and sit there for about three seconds, until his dad dragged him back into his seat,'' the ABC cited Bell as saying.
In a survey published late yesterday, 63 percent of Australians polled said they thought the airline's safety standards ``have become worse over the last few years,'' a rise of 11 percent since August.

AMD splits !
AMD will receive a $6 billion cash infusion from Abu Dhabi to expand the factories and get $1.4 billion in operating capital. Also, Abu Dhabi will pay $314 million to double its current stake in AMD to 19%.
To me seems that Abu Dhabi will likely invest in future 22nm fab for AMD's needs.We managed to score some additional details about Foundry Co. and the plans for the future. The new fab, now owned by Foundry Co. in New York State should be operative by 2012 and this fab will be capable of manufacturing 22nm wafers. Those Arabs are very suspicious. They made new fabs in the USA. In the meantime USA strongest ally Israel makes Intel's fab in ... of course Kiryat Gat , Israel.
At the same time, AMD definitely solved its 2 main problems and consequently its shares soared up 18.7 %. Crisis? What crisis?
1. Financial problems are now solved.
2. Licence problems, because signed contract with Intel effectively restricts AMD's production up to the year 2010 to a given fixed global market share. From now on, AMD is liberated to design freely and to sell freely. As much as it can. FINALLY FREE.
However, Intel is lower than ever, though they sayFor decades we have been successful because we are an integrated device manufacturer

Koomey reckons these firms' data centres already consume 1 per cent of it, and their appetite is growing at 17 per cent per year. At this rate, server farms will consume nearly five times as much electricity a decade from now.
More optimistically, Koomey says their growth will slow a little as companies raise efficiency to reduce the need for costly new data centres. Some centres now run their servers at only 5 to 10 per cent of full capacity, and up to 30 per cent of servers are running but doing nothing
