"This device should not have been readily available for a researcher like me."
Not only it should, but it proved invaluable to Infineon, which will probably not make the same mistakes twice. But the day Infineon blocks anyone of having their chips is the day they'll be less and less secure.
Why not write the whole facebook in C++? Or re-write the PHP interpreter from scratch? Why spend time converting a crap language to a complicated language?
Every level of indirection kills half the optimizations you could've done. If they got 50% improve, it means:
1. PHP interpreter is *really* crap. No news here.
2. Their compilation infrastructure is a nightmare
3. They could get at least another 50% by writing in native C++
But, of course, PHP "programmers" are twice as easy to find and half the cost of C++ programmers... why bother?
If they would just stop selling the bloody things in the first place, or even producing them, would've been much easier. They're the primary source for those things, anyway.

Vulcan?
Wait a minute, Vulcan exploded already, I've seen it!
Exchange?!
"Yahoo! will use Microsoft's search technology and in exchange" ... uh... EXCHANGE?!
The other way around!

Re: Research
No! The most important is the eeePC girl... and we did noticed!
Re: California?
Because then the sea levels would rise way before global warming becomes deadly.
If only they had said Jupiter...
It would've been easier to swallow...
Re: 50, eh?
CDs last for thousands of years... maybe not the data inside but... that's another issue...
