Amazed at how closely the signal matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal in the antenna used, Ehman circled the signal on the computer printout and wrote the comment "Wow!" on its side. This comment became the name of the signal.

A.M.D. Looks to Shanghai to Make Up for Mistakes
By Ashlee Vance
About this time last year, everything started to go wrong for the chip maker Advanced Micro Devices.
Its server processor code-named Barcelona, which was meant to stave off competition from a revitalized Intel, arrived late. Even worse, a bug forced A.M.D. to hold the product back from widespread use and fix it. That meant that server makers depending on the product had to push back shipment dates for their best-selling gear.
When all was said and done, A.M.D. had given up the market share gains it spent years wrestling away from Intel. In July, A.M.D. replaced Hector Ruiz, its embattled chief executive, and promoted its president, Dirk Meyer, to the top job.
Now it has a second chance. A.M.D. hopes to regain a competitive edge later this year with the release of a new server chip code-named Shanghai and sold under the Opteron brand. The big message with this product is that it won’t be a dud.
“Shanghai is not another Barcelona,” said Pat Patla, the general manager of A.M.D.’s server business. “That’s the bumper sticker around here.”
In January, A.M.D. brought all of its major product teams together “to try and learn from all the Barcelona lessons,” Mr. Patla said. The company agreed to take more time in some areas like product testing and to re-evaluate its methods for shifting processors from the sample state to full production.
“After going through Barcelona, we knew we never wanted to do that again,” Mr. Patla said.
In addition, A.M.D. has tried to pull back on early marketing for new products, which is a welcome change. It spent months talking up the merits of Barcelona before actually shipping the processor, which prompted a huge letdown as months passed by without the chip’s arrival and then disappointment when the product failed to live up to expectations.
A.M.D. expects Shanghai to be faster than Barcelona. And it expects plenty of the chips to be available for server makers like Hewlett-Packard, Dell, I.B.M. and Sun Microsystems.
As A.M.D. was working to get its house in order, Intel has been pushing hard with new microprocessor technology. Just as Shanghai comes to market, Intel is set to release a brand new line of server products that have revamped innards.
Even with this competitive threat looming, A.M.D. claims that Shanghai will revitalize its place in the server chip market.
“We will win back customers with Shanghai,” Mr. Patla said. “It has really healed the wounds with many of our partners.”
Now, A.M.D. just needs to ship the product on time – as promised.
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still around the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!
Still around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run,
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn and nut and sloe
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!
Ah Love! could you and I with Fate conspire To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire, Would not we shatter it to bits -- and then Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!

I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored.
I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd.
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind.
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed.
That's the hand I use, well, never mind!
I been Phil Spectored, resurrected.
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered.
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay.
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day.
I knew a man, his brain so small,
He couldn't think of nothin' at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talkin' about Dylan Thomas,
Whoever he was.
The man ain't got no culture,
But its alright, ma,
Everybody must get stoned.
I been Mick Jaggered, been silver daggered.
Andy Warhol, won't you please come home?
I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled,
Been Roy Halee'd and Art Garfunkel'd.
I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone.
Folk Rock
I just lost my harmonica Albert

Paul Simon - 1965
I was Union Jacked, Kerouac'd
John Birched, stopped and searched
Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind
I've been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist 'cos I'm lefthanded:
That's the hand they use, well, never mind!
I've been Walt Disneyed, Dis Disleyed
John Lennoned, Krishna Menoned
Walter Brennan punched out Cassius Clay
I've heard the truth from Lenny Bruce
and all my wealth won't buy me health
So I smoke a pint of tea a day
I knew a man his brain so small,
He couldn't think of nothin' at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talkin' about Dylan
Thomas,
Whoever he is.
The man ain't got no culture,
But its alright, Ma,
It's just sumpthin' I learned over in England.
I've been James Joyced, Rolls Royced
Mick Jaggered, silver daggered
Andy Warhol won't you please come home?
I've been mother, fathered, aunt and uncled
Tom Wilsoned, Art Garfunkled
