What's amazing is that hours after the opening weekend of the movie "The Incredibles," Pixar knew exactly how much money they made and how many people bought tickets. Maybe we should use movie theaters as polling places and "sell" tickets to eligible voters.
Btw: this election has been Rated R for violence, foul language, and some sexual situations.
are you kidding? DTrace lets you do this not just per process, but per instruction, across CPUs. Comparing DTrace to perfmon is like comparing a Ferrari to a tricycle.

No, the odds are 1:1 -- Earth will be hit by at least one asteroid. Will it hit in our lifetime? Probably. Will it be big enough to notice? Probably not.
But I'm betting on the asteroid. And buying a lot of duct tape.;)
According to
this distributed computing index, there doesn't seem to be a project to detect such objects. Seems like a pretty obvious use of DC, doesn't it?
A lead is like a dogsled driver, particularly if you have strong, experienced developers. They are pulling the sled, not you - your job is to ensure everyone goes the same direction (toward the end goal) and that the sled doesn't tip over or fall through thin ice.
You can't understand every line of code, because you'll be busy running interference with managers and customers, so that your team can keep running.
You must constantly manage the expectations of your managers, your team, and your customers: everyone has preconceptions about your job, and most are probably wrong. Define specific boundaries on your time: how much you will code, how much design time, code review, meeting time, informal one-on-ones with team members, etc. You will probably code much less than you think.
You are the project personified. Your enthusiasm or cynicism will affect everyone involved. You must be genuine, or people will lose trust and dismiss you as a management stooge.
Don't get angry. Stay calm. Treat everyone with respect. Keep a sense of humor. If the project fails, stand up and take the bullet. But if the project succeeds, credit your team, not yourself.
I've set my automatic thermostat raise the room temperature in the morning and drop it at night, and that seems to help. I usually wake up before the alarm goes off.
When your Java-enabled pacemaker gets an infusion of JXTA, your heart can connect itself to a global pacemaker peer group. This gives new meaning to the term "support group," and a whole new slant to the phrase "two hearts beating as one."

actually you hear "Here comes the sun."
on the other hand, the Trinity update worked fine on my Mac (even after reboot ;). Glad CCP finally released a Mac version.
Why were those guys wearing hard hats?
Nope. STK has fab shops, too expensive to bulldoze and relocate. However there's nothing stopping a Sun relocation to the STK campus.

It may be the only time most game developers ever get to see an actual girl in real life.

It's the evolution of the metrosexual!

Spirit must have found that elusive caffeine vein detected from earth way back in 1968.
NASA: "Ok Spirit, time for bed."
Rover: "WHAT, ME? SLEEP?!?! BUT I'M NOT TIRED!! OK YOU WANT SOME DATA? I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR GODDAMN DATA! AGGGGGGGH!"

One interesting inclusion in the OS-X public beta is a Java 1.2 JDK. Wonder if they'll have 1.3 ready for the release.
