  • Hmmm…

    Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)

    The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja’s and Marko’s version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette’s version.

    The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)

    Chop Suey (System of a Down)

    Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)

    Ace of spades (Motörhead)

    … A bunch of stuff from Guns’n’Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours…)

    Other days I’d have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, …

    Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between “hard rock” and “metal”. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.


  • It’s significant already. If I get the math right (warning, I’m on my phone in bed at 3am and it’s been 10 years) I think that a 1 inch chip running at 3GHz clock rate could, if you aren’t careful with the design of the clock network, end up with half a clock cycle physically fitting on the chip. That is, the trace that was supposed to move the signal from one end of the chip to the other, would instead see the clock signal as a standing wave, not moving at all. (Of course people has (tried?) to make use of that effect. I think it was called “resonant clock distribution” or some such)
