Subject: [9fans] New IBM chip to allow faster downlaids -- news headline
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:17:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <13426df10704120817n3a988ec5k4ec2219bcb628ccf@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

on reading this headline, one thinks --

1. written by underpaid, lonely intern
2. spell check is over-trusted
3. this ought to bring more people into the CS business
4. so, exactly which devices will this chip be used in?
5. written by a victim of outsourcing on last day of employment


More typos I got a kick out of recently.

"We don't want undo risk" -- well, actually, I think you would want to undo risk
"We must not do anything that would effect security" -- Whew! I can
handle that assignment.

thanks

ron
