Scumbria - Re: " An interesting article about a mechanical anti-hacker device-" Coooolll ! Another technology for Intel to license and get the sole benefit from tens of millions of dollars of Taxpayers' money. Paul

Scumbria, re: Tiny lock - How do I get my fingers on the dial? I'm amused! - a little aghast that this is how my research tax money is spent - but truly amused! What a silly, silly development. This could easily be a put on if it wasn't from Sandia Labs :) All should realize that this function has existed - done right - for years in the form of reprogrammable EEPROM cells. Sandia's gears can only do one thing better - wear out! I plan to file this one along side another that I read several years ago. Some lab at IBM announced microminiature "bridges" for getting one signal line to cross another. No kidding - little arched strips that had to be ultrasonically bonded to the chip, sort of like a real short wire bond. Seems these guys didn't hear about multilayer metalization. Seems Sandia hasn't heard about eeprom cells :) I suspect that Intel will pass on this technology. But AMD might not - just as soon as Sandia produces something they can copy! Jeff
