Superchip: the next generation: "Cell's most impressive feature was its nine 'cores', which mean it can perform nine separate tasks simultanously.

How to turn powerty into opporturnity -- Comment()
A Modest Proposal: "For Preventing The Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being Aburden to Their Parents or Country, and For Making Them Beneficial to The Public."
