The first section on the same page says what it is but you have to apply engineering knowledge to infer where it comes from.
The units come from two separate effects:
• P t which results in units of energy delivered as heat that modulates to heat transfer effectiveness - this is the "accumulated heat over time" or integrated heat effect
• P which is the instantaneous power delivered to the load and dissipated as heat
These combined as function: Damage(Pshort-circuit, Eheat) which are modeled multiplicatively, hence P2t
This value is "essentially constant for intervals of less than 100ms for any given device type" so basically you have thermal equilibrium because you aren't generating heat fast enough to exceed the heat sink capacity of the package. Above that you start to have a positive feedback loop on heat that accelerates the...

Failing to Learn from Our Mistakes
Category: Our Archive
learning_from_mistakesIs it a case of ordained fate we cannot escape or is it that We the People are too dense to learn from our mistakes? Paging through humanity's history, time and again we find numerous instances of costly mistakes where people ignore facts and reason by entrusting their lives to a "savior." And tim...
To illustrate how mistake-prone we are, a few examples would suffice. In order to address economic disparity, a pivotal concern of humanity, a Karl Marx showed up trumpeting his battle cry, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Marx announced that the proletariat is the producer of wealt...
In effect, Karl Marx originated the concept of class warfare, the poor against the rich.  He urged the workers to rise up, rid themselves of the rich and take full possession of their own self-produced goods. Humanity's poor masses found their messiah in this ideologue, rallied behind him, and got to experience a Marxi...
Obamanomics and Incentive
obama-messiahDis-incentive was the “Achilles Heel” of Marxism. Except for the ruling class, whether you worked hard or loafed, you basically got the same incentive under Marxism. Obamanomics is basically the same as Marxism: a failed economic philosophy, in a poorly disguised form that Obama has been relentlessly pushi...
While Marx’s workers’ paradise ideal continued struggling and kept failing miserably to deliver its promises, its offshoots such as European Socialism and now American Redistributionism under Obama are still aiming at creating a society where those who succeed in generating wealth turn over the major share of their ear...
Dis-incentivizing individual exertion through confiscatory taxes is the surest way to reduce the overall wealth of any society. The rich resort to strategies that shelter their wealth, become discouraged in investing their funds, and then the overall wealth of the society declines. It is investment by those who have fu...

America at a Critical Point
Obama 2008America is at a critical point. The great nation of all nations, America, is at a critical point and crossroads. The present administration’s performance under the direction of President Obama has been abysmal in all areas vital to our nation. Obama’s foreign policy, based on weakness, retreat and apology is ...
Domestically, our house is in shambles. The national debt is staggering. With Obama at the helm, the nation’s debt has exceeded that of our obligation under all other previous administrations combined. Four more years of this economic disaster is nothing we should tolerate. Our children and grandchildren will have to s...
It is imperative that we, as a nation, live within our means, just like families do. In like manner that families should cut back on everything they can, in order to live within their means, the Federal Government needs do the same. It must reduce the size of government and eliminate hundreds of bureaucracies that are ...
Government at all levels must act as partners with people and companies, rather than adversaries, as has been the case with the present administration. The Department of Justice, for instance, should focus on fighting criminals, rather than lodging lawsuits against state governments.  Government should release and supp...
Time for a Change
libertyIt is high time that Obamanomics, or is it “voodoo economics” --be abandoned and we pursue an economic policy that offer incentives for people and companies to take risk. Without the incentive to take risk, the economy stagnates. And when the economy stagnates, more and more people suffer and societies collapse....
Let us learn from our mistake of four years ago. The “change you can believe in,” trumpeted by another “savior,” has turned out to be the change we need to change.  And we have the opportunity to do so, come November 6th.

Failing to Learn from Our Mistakes...

What I find fascinating is the constant reminder that, even under the most repressive 'better solution', free enterprise lives and even thrives.
In repressed societies, free enterprise is called 'the black market' or 'underground economy'. It was in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union and 0bama's America. It diverts the work of man from the open economy, where it benefits all, into the hidden economy where it benefits a few. The very situation these utopian...
America's greatest strength has always been our economic and political transparency under the rule-of-law.
I can hardly wait for the return.
Imani refers, of course, to the dormancy of Islam after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, dormancy deepened by the colonialist presence of Britain and France in the Middle-East.
But Islam, as the theology that demands its imposition through the entire planet by the sword, started to stretch out of its sopor with the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, which endorsed the sword and, much latter, the womb to spread Muslim dominance over nations.
Pan-Arab-Socialism, with Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt as its visible head --to some extent seconded by Hafez al-Assad in Syria and Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya-- unintendedly provided some sort to coattails to Islamism, and, conversely, Nasser used Islamism to promote Pan-Arab socialism. It was a circumstantial symbiotic...
The Palestine-Israeli conflict also served as fuel to help energize Islamism in the background, for, in the foreground, the conflict was mostly territorial in nature and confined to a sphere limited to the Arab world versus Israel.
However, it was Khomeini, with the Shiite Twelver notion of the Mahdi, which momentously catalyzed the revival global-messianic Islam, momentum that was taken advantage of by Salafism and Wahhabism to jump to the front line in Suni Islam to advance its cause, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the monarchy needed a cr...
Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood took advantage of the theological-political turmoil in the Middle-East, catapulting itself to prominence with the assassination of Anwar Sadat, which, indirectly, along with the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, helped reignite armed Jihad against the infidels, which on its turn resulted...
Once al-Qaeda and the Taliban gained the frontline in the violence front, the Muslim Brotherhood went back to what it is best at: non-violent conspiratorial Islamist struggle, using the tools of western democracy towards bringing the west and western democracy down. It is such cloak that has helped Obama to insert the ...
Thus, Imani's contention regarding the dormancy of Islam the way he meant it is very valid.
A last comment, Obamanomics is heavily based on Marxist-economics ideology and Marxist-Leninist (i.e., Western-Marxist indistinctly aka "Cultural-Communism" and, much more properly and accurately, "Western-Leninism") praxis, and it is the Western-Marxist facet of it, what leans Obama to employ fascism as well, for, fas...
Mr. Imani, thank you for your column.
What is truly amazing is that Obama is offering Marxism as a salvation at a time when the rest of the world has totally discredited socialism, both as an intellectual concept, and as an impractical and disastrous way to change society. Even the watered down version, typified by European Welfarism is on it's last legs. ...
The truth will set us free and this article is the absolute truth. My family and I have suffered under both National Socialism (the Nazis) and Soviet Style Communism. The tactics of these isms and that of Obama and his administration are the same. They all pit one group (producers against non-producers,Atheists against...
I salute you, Amil, for a truly stunning assessment of the human condition. Yours is the visionary article that I hope for, every time I visit American Thinker. If one first reads "When God Left the Classroom", also on today's list, about a society that banishes God from its midst, then your article is the inevitable r...

<nettime> Turing
Due to the huge demand to have a go at the Turing Test, some of you may
find the chat rooms full. If so, we're very sorry, but here's an
alternative. Displayed below is the transcript of a Turing Test chat which
took place earlier, you can take a look and vote whether you think the
conversation is between two humans or a human and a computer:
Pat: Hi I'm Pat who are you
You: Hi i'm David. Do yow Like sport
Pat: I like Football and skiing. What do you like
You: I like swimming. Are you wearing green today?
Pat: no black and white actually. Its a bit cold for swimming at the moment
You: But it won't be cold indoors
Pat: Thats true. Where are you - I'm in London.
You: I'm in Aberdeen Scotland,. my sister says hi.
Please only vote once:
I think Pat is [] A human [] A computer
Just in case you had any doubts that Hollywood thinks we're a little dumb,
take into account some comments producer Joel Silver made to the Sydney
Morning Herald (via the LA Times) while in Australia working on The
Matrix. Silver's recipe for success: "Every 10 minutes there needs to be
some kind of 'whammo,' or action beat, a gunshot, an explosion, a car
chase or a fight, something that provides an adrenalin rush and gives the
movie a sense of forward motion." Between those action squences, Silver
says there should be "funny lines," also known as "zingers" to relieve the
film's tension.
Using this recipe, Silver maintains that it's possible to play an audience
like "an orchestra."
Pat: Hi I'm Pat what's your name
You: Hannah
Pat: Hi Hannah - where are you
You: I am in West Yorkshire
Pat: I'm in London. What did you do today
You: i went to school
Pat: How old are you
You: 16
Pat: What was the weather like up there today it was cloudy and cold here
You: i was basically the same her, but it also snowed
