My bad, I meant to add "fast" there (implied in "good"). Thus, if hibernate would be truly fast, stored to nonvolatile ram, ideally maybe even continously, you'd have pretty much instant on/off capability.
The only people confused are the tech-savvy people who care. The rest of the consumers are just happy with the performance of the computer / laptop they bought at the price-point they could afford, blissfully ignorant of the differences in power, cores, and battery / energy use.
I have an Atom-based netbook. I didn't know it was an atom when I bought it. I knew it was only â199 for an ultraportable that would allow me to read PDFs, read and write office documents (in OpenOffice), and surf the web.
Not being able to sing and dance well hasn't stopped most of the current crop of music stars!
It helps if you can be postprocessed into a hot teenage girl in the video though.
I'd prefer to go to the STLAs first, but I'm fixing a thirteen chicken alarm right now. I think one of the cute and furry fuzzballs got into the henhouse.
There has to be some sort of way to safeguard the buyer from undue taxation by private companies given the hours and the sweat and the blood and the tears and the extreme, extreme expense (in terms of time) that goes into making a decent salary.
This deserves to be modded up. Too few people realize the value of their time.
Other than musician and surgeon, there really aren't many professions I can think of where you're expected buy equipment and learn how to use it at your own cost, then perform essentially flawlessly the first time every time or you'll soon lose your job.
Most, if not all, musicians have performed a lot less than flawlessly the first many times they perform. Plus, making music is fun for just about all musicians - I don't think many people are surgeons as a hobby.
The only reason "professional" industry recording is expensive is because the industry decided to make it expensive. People are making great albums in home studios with total gear cost well under €10.000, and that's includingthe instruments. Music doesn't "need" a 30k mixing desk, a couple of 5k microphones into 15k worth of mic preamps, in a million euro treated room.
Making music is cheap. Being part of the industry is expensive. It'd probably be a whole lot easier for most musicians to make a decent living if the industry stopped throwing money at a few "top tier" artist to fluff them divine status f**king it up for everyone else.
Music industry marketing is saturating all common channels with the same stuff because of the spiraling cost of saturating all common channels with the same stuff. I.e. "the bureaucracy is expanding to fit the growing needs of the expanding bureaucracy."
And depending on the compiler and / or the type of i, might not even be half as trivial as it seems. Just imagine what you could do with an overloaded operator=;-)

A good sleep / hibernate implementation that doesn't use much (or any) power would be indistinguishable from hyperfast booting.
"Microsoft pretends IE could possibly be made less secure by changing anything about it."
Imagine a beowul...
On second thoughts, I'm not going to go there.
I prefer bacteriophageman.
He's got that dark, brooding, lone wolf hero thing going.
You need to make the job of the people around you easier. That includes your manager.
No, you don't. Your manager needs to make YOUR job easier. That's the whole and only reason management should exist.
Where? Behind the bunny?
Would that be an african, or a european rabbit?

You're new here aren't you? The /. way involves:

Just make sure the wife doesn't catch you unit testing the outsourced part.
No-one on slashdot has the necessary experience to make penetration jokes.
That's how the Total Perspective Vortex works.
I think I feel good about it.
You non-conformists, you're all alike.
Forget the hot air, we've got to mine the methane from all the bs! That stuff is much worse than C02!

He obviously works by himself in a rosy world where requirements and scope never change and nothing unexpected ever happens.
In fact, I bet he's coding on a UNIVAC I in Pleasantville. That must be nice.
No, I think he's working for the government.
Remember, you are unique. Just like everybody else.
