Collin Pannell Warwick NT 1110 October 22, 2013 The Pentium Flaw During the year of 1994 one of Intel’s processors called the Pentium microprocessor chip had a small flaw inside the chip. These Pentium processors included something new called a floating-point unit, which is also know as a math coprocessor. These Pentium processors had this floating-point unit built into the processors, which makes them much faster. These chips that were made had errors on the floating-point unit that corrupted

There is a quote by an evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins that goes as following: “Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence.” This quote captures the essence of what this essay is going to cover. Disagreement opens room for questioning and reasoning.. In order to make the knowledge question that entitles this essay easier to understand, the “pursuit of knowledge” needs to be defined. The pursuit

My curiosity towards Civil Engineering began in Year 8 when I was set the task of constructing a bridge out of newspaper that could withstand a substantial weight. The concept of creating a model out of inadequate material was initially challenging but the final product exceeded my expectations. I am determined to study Civil Engineering because of the initiative required for translating ideas into reality and the opportunity to make an influential difference to my surrounding environment. I see

Colorimetry / Beer's Law Laboratory Each group will make 5 dilutions of a copper sulfate solution. As a group you will decide on appropriate dilutions and how you will go about doing it. You should start by making 0.10 M solution from solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. As a group you will decide how much to make. Remember that for a trend you need to have 5 data points and ideally your the range on the y-axis will be about an order of magnitude or more. Use appropriate

for many calculations in math and science. Intel claims that it was a problem on a few missing entries in the lookup table used by the company. The flaw was hardly faced by users. It was discovered by Professor Thomas Nicely, a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg College. He noticed the bug when a code was written and observed some irregularities in calculations once he added the Pentium system to his computers. He discovered this issue in June of 1994 but was unable to eliminate other factors
