Google is offering to produce free chips for you. They have to be open source, they are using 20 year old technology and you'll get 100 of them. Could someone reverse engineer a SID-chip and have Goggle start to crank those suckers out?

  Shakespeare was a wiseass troll.

  So he would've fit right in here. :)

  Please don't encourage this. When catching up with the latest techie news and commentary, I don't want to read a dialog of long form posts written in archaic rhyming iambic pentameter.

  There once was an admin from Nantucket,
  Who chose his chips from a bucket.
  When surfing the net
  For illicit video to wget
  Prompted for ssl cert he said 'Ah fuck it.'
