Malone and Dennis Rodman participated in a professional wrestling match in World Championship Wrestling at their "Bash at the Beach" event in July 1998. Malone, a wrestling fan, teamed with his personal friend, Diamond Dallas Page, against the duo of Rodman and Hulk Hogan.[35][36] In a poorly received match, the two power forwards exchanged "rudimentary headlocks, slams and clotheslines" for 23 minutes.[37]

The West Bridge is a growing architectural approach, originally developed by Cypress Semiconductor, which enhances and modularizes a peripheral controller in an embedded computer architecture. Conceptually, the West Bridge parallels and complements the decentralization represented by the North Bridge and the South Bridge. Most notably, it has been used by Research in Motion to permit extremely high data transfer rates in its BlackBerry devices.[1]

Overview

While the North Bridge focuses on memory control and the South Bridge focuses on "slower" capabilities of the motherboard, the West Bridge focuses on peripheral control. The new architectural modularization opens the potential for increased system performance. Being directly connected, peripheral control can be handled wholly and independently through a West Bridge's controller, leaving a processor offloaded and free to focus on other data intensive operations. Not only in increasing performance of the system via the processor, a West Bridge companion chip may itself serve directly as a peripheral accelerator.
Etymology

The term West Bridge was first introduced by Cypress Semiconductor, which designs products to provide optimal performance and connectivity in the embedded world. The name was chosen deliberately to be a meme consistent with the North Bridge and South Bridge concepts. "West Bridge" refers both to the architectural scheme in general and to the product family with which it was introduced, by Cypress.

Interface Support

Interfaces change all the time towards faster, lower power, fewer pins, and newer standards, making it a difficult task for processors to follow and integrate them. A prime function of West Bridge devices is to enable connection to these varied interfaces.

An example of such an interface is NAND Flash, which keeps evolving with new generations of Multi-Level Cell NAND. A West Bridge device might handle the MLC NAND management and enable lowest-cost memory support for a main processor, which otherwise would only support NOR or Single-Level Cell NAND.

Some commonly supported interfaces of West Bridge companion chips are:

Mass storage
GPIO
MMC+
SD v1.1
SD v2.0
SDIO
CE-ATA
MLC NAND
SLC NAND
Full NAND Management

Processor
SRAM
SPI
ADMUX
NAND
NOR

USB
USB 2.0 at 480 Mbit/s

Applications

The West Bridge architecture is relevant to a broad range of applications.

Common applications include:

Handsets
Portable Media Players
Personal Digital Assistants
Portable Navigation Devices
Digital Cameras
Printers
Point-of-sale terminals
Set-Top Boxes
Security Dongles

The internet community responded by researching the frog and its owner. Hopkin was found to be a toy frog, and the phone number was traced to the parents. An explanation of the poster's origin is available here. Terry was an autistic 16-year-old who had received the toy frog with a McDonald's "Animal Alley" Happy Meal. After losing the toy frog, he created the "lost" fliers and posted them around his neighborhood. The boy's family was contacted in November 2004 about the toy, with the offer of a new one to replace the original Hopkins. The family declined the offer, believing that since the boy had by then forgotten about his stuffed frog, a new one would only upset him with unpleasant memories.

Nothing like remembering an author who's magnum opus consists of wealthy bastards literally burning the US to the ground and starving millions of Americans because they were too greedy to share the invention of limitless pollution-free energy.

growing up in amerikkka is a lot like that part in breaking bad where jessie spells it out to mr white that they're the bad guys (i think he said "i'm the bad guy" but still)

that's probably blindingly obvious but it occurred to me re-watching that poo poo before the last half-season

really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out :munch:
