See, you're not failing at this because the overblown sarcasm is missed on us. It's not the outrageous opinions that give it away either. The real reason it's obvious to all the regulars that you're a paid Russian shill is that backwoods rednecks with these types of outrageously overblown misunderstandings about reality DON'T HANG OUT ON SLASHDOT you pathetic barbarian.
Despite knowing full well the legacy of reasoning behind why 2x4's are not 2"x4", this has bothered me for a very long time. If you plan to build something that requires precise dimensions this makes it a lot harder to find 2" beams that are actually 2" in thickness.
I dunno, if you look a little bit at the way an old 1st person shooter game like Quake passes data back and forth between client and server, and which parts of the engine are actually just stored on the client, which are rendered on the fly from those rules, and what parts of the data actually are variables, then imagine that this hypothetical "Sloot" engine would only really need to ultimately display 2d data from a single camera angle, it seems really actually quite easy to imagine this would be totally possible at least within a certain range of styles of content - most classical anime and saturday morning cartoons, of that time, for example.
It's pretty embarrassing for me to realize now how easy that might actually be. I wish I'd thought of it myself. If I'd thought of it back then though, I too probably would have also failed to foresee that people would be willing to kill to stop this from being released; anyone who already had investors and potential customers lined up to back development of or buy expensive licenses for some vastly inferior and less specialized compression technology, perhaps. (Not to point fingers really but uh... *cough* MPEG? *cough*)
Theoretically, yes. Though, theoretically it would be equally possible for Apple to block compatibility with non-stock parts through firmware or software mechanisms.
The real reason the cable TV industry is failing is because they're a bunch of greedy usurious jackasses who are also collectively too incompetent to maintain adequate network service even if they actually wanted to. And they don't. And this has been common knowledge amongst consumers for decades. What's new now is that there's finally better things to spend your money on.
It's nothing new. Read a book on how to optimize mysql. I've worked with Hadoop myself. Any notion that it's better for ANYTHING other than creating a giant boondoggle is utter fiction.
Imagine you wanted a database to search petabytes of terabyte-sized files. Now imagine you learned nothing about databases and only knew Java, so naturally started over from scratch, blissfully free of any external normalizing influences.
No, dude. The criminals have their own astro-turfing moderators. If you registered you'd know everyone gets to moderate. The moderation used to overall still reflect the will of the community because even the assholes were still acting in good faith.

Yea, but this time it's the part that fucking matters.

ALSO use virtualization. Idiot.
I'm starting to get tired of being right all the time.
LOL, woops! Slashcode apparently just executed it. Here's a copy manually escaped by hand:
<?php $array = file('/path/to/example_file.txt'); ?>
For an example to the reader, try to replicate this one line of PHP with Java.
Continuous integration is just code words for "I/we can't be trusted to deploy software in a disciplined or even competent fashion."

I think it's pretty clear that at least half of us ceded their power to imaginary friends a long time ago.
Interesting thing about secret court orders; sometimes they actually require you to lie.

...Which means BeauHD is the singularity...
A completely logical conclusion and just as believable as anything else happening in the news these days, fake or otherwise.
Eh, just don't seal it back up. That way it looks mean.
Theoretically, yes. Though, theoretically it would be equally possible for Apple to block compatibility with non-stock parts through firmware or software mechanisms.
I'm not expecting any different outcome in the long run.
Interesting... you're probably on to something here. So we should be keeping an eye out for a new Netflix competitor to appear soon perhaps?
Don't fool yourself. Most TV actors don't even make that much in a month. This is all about big cable math justifying big cable greed.

Because nobody competent would be using Hadoop in the first place.
It's already illegal. In reality though, you'd be shocked how many landlords blatantly defy the law on this one - and get away with it.
Just drive around LA and issue a hefty fine to any apartment building without any DirecTV dishes on the roof.
