Fry: I'm impressed. In my time we had no idea Mars had a university.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: That's because then Mars was a uninhabitable wasteland, much like Utah. But unlike Utah, Mars was eventually made liveable when the university was founded in 2636.
Russian guy: You're no easily-laid woman, you're a Fembot! Fembot: It's true. I disguised myself as a easily-laid woman so I could rule the Russians. Russian guy: But why? Fembot: Why? Why? I came here from a faraway planet. A planet ruled by a chauvinistic Manputer that was really a Manbot. Have you any idea how it feels to be a Fembot living in a Manbot's Manputer's world?
Not at the current price of 3 euros (4.2 US$) by episode !! Let's say the whole season has 24 episodes, it costs 72 euros (101 US$) for viewing the whole season through this system! More or less twice the price than a DVD boxset, but here you download only DRM-emcumbered files that you are allowed to play FOR JUST 48 HOURS [then you have to repay].
"A patent has been filed for the "Upside Down Slashdot" which features the comments on top and the fucking article on the bottom. The idea behind the upside down Slashdot is, apparently, to allow quicker reading by not having to RTFA. A quick check of this seems to confirm the theory, making this one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments."
From my understanding they're not talking about "hole-punching" firewalls but only about plain boring NAT traversal, which is anything but a new topic...
Read Peopleware and offer it to your manager for Christmas, this book is the bible about productivity in IT.
It is extensively implemented at Google (and Microsoft for instance) by letting each developer have his own desk - with the door shut - or have a small desk with 2 to 4 people inside, in order to improve focus as it is critical developers doesn't lose focus too often as it is very easy to do when you work in a open space.
A typical developer needs 15 minutes to get into the "mental flow" of productive work, so even if he is disturbed for only 3 minutes, he will really lose about 15+3 minutes because of the delay of being in the right/productive "mental flow" again.
Additionnaly this book is all about employee happiness == employee productivity.
The PS2 is not known as a easy system for development and most developer's interview about PS3 projects has some lines about them telling PS3 is a very difficult system to develop for (mainly because you can't get very strong performance from the CELL CPU without extensive experience of multicore architecture, which is not very common in IT nowadays and even less in the game development world imho).
Also about the competition from Nintendo line, smaller, cheaper 'family friendly' console with a 'focus on gameplay was not much more than a marketing argument, with Wii I guess they pretty much achieved to meet the marketing promise.
Boo language is a much better alternative!

IronPython 1.0 is Born
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
IronPython has big shortcomings such as it is unable to blend well with.NET assemblies built with another language. Also it doesn't use much of the niceties available through the.NET Framework...
If you like Python syntax and want to try.NET (on win32 or on linux with Mono), check out the Boo language, the wrist-friendly language for the CLI. It is amazing!! => "while using a Python-inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility. Some features of note include type inference, generators, multimethods, optional duck typing, macros, true closures, currying, and first class functions."
And last but not least, Boo's licence is BSD, not a crappy Shared Source something!!

Linux VServer is also quite easier to configure/maintain compared to OpenVZ imho :)

I mean what's new in this compared to current LiveJournal's OpenID ?
