9/13    What's the industry standard (if any) VHDL simulation program?
        ie, the photoshop for image editing.... thanks.
        \_ It really depends on what you want to do.  The short-short
           answer is don't use VHDL.  If you must, then it depends on what
           you're trying to do.  FPGA guys are big on Modeltech, I hear.
           For ASIC types, it's the usual VCS and NC.  NC used to have
           the better VHDL/verilog cosim.  Not sure what the state of
           the art is now, since I haven't shopped for simulators for
           a few years.
           \_ I need it for a class. What are some well known and easy
              to use programs for writing code in vhdl? My professor
              is using a demo version of some software from ages ago..
              \_ emacs vhdl major mode
              \_ I think modelsim comes with an editor. It's probably the
                 easiest simulator for a single user too.

        \_ This article is crap.  While yes, 99.9% of all websites don't
           need any serious scalability plans, if any of them become worth
           anything they will need to scale.  If you write a web application

12/30   Of the current EE/CS curriculum, what percentage of it is still
        taught using *nix instead of Windows? I'm in the ASIC design
        industry and everytime we get new college grads, we have to
        spend some time teaching them some pretty basic Unix stuff.
        It's, frankly, kind of annoying when we're teaching them that
        stuff and not more important things.

8/29    What's the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?  Thx.
        \_ AFAIK, probably be corrected by someone:
           hub: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith shared amongs all
                the nodes on the hub and maxing out at the max line speed.
           switch: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith greater than
                the max line speed (point to point)

12/21   What are some core differences between a simulator, an emulator, and
        a virtual machine?
        \_ Simulator:  Model the whole thing by itself; collect results.
           Emulator:  Model one part; hook it up to something else.
             Or, run one OS on another OS.
           Virtual machine:  A computer inside a computer.

12/17   Hey ASIC designers. What are some good drawing tools out there
        to do documentation stuff? This is for things like drawing
        waveforms, block diagrams, boolean gates, transistor symbols.
        Something on a non-Windows platform would be preferable.
        \_ Illustrator?
        \_ OmniGraffle on MacOSX

11/15   Can someone tell me why 64 bit machines are the future? I
        program a lot of things and I rarely need 2^32 memory.
        My guess why people move to 2^64 is because of RAM usage, but
        how the heck do you use up 2^32? And regarding addressing and
        page tables, wouldn't the size just blow up with 64 bit machines?

1/1     I got a IBM R40e recently with windows Xp.  I'm wondering what I should
        run (if anything) to stress the computer out.  I heard that if a
        laptop is going to break it's going to break in the first few months of
        use.  Should I worry about this?  I'd much rather ship this back in
        30 days to the seller rather than deal with IBM warranty.  Thanks.
