Regular people are smart enough (well, most of them) to not buy a Blu-Ray and try and play it in a DVD player.
Or buying Windows software and running it on a Mac.
What is it about Linux that suddenly turns regular people into retards?
Peak charging times will be just after rush hour, when people park at the office and again when they get home.
By then, though lugs will a standard feature in parking spots. I already see coin operated chargers here and there.
Part of the reason compressed air cars are efficient enough to be feasible is the weight savings from it's simplicity. I don't think it would be feasible for it to have an engine for compressing air. If it did, it would need to be small, and take a long time. It would only be practical for getting to the next gas station.
Well Mono is supposed to be a good development environment under Linux.
I've heard differently. I suppose once they work the bugs out and play catchup it'll be OK, but right now it's kind of buggy and outdated.
If you are not going to use it under Linux then why not just use.net?
Why use either mono or.net if you don't need the code to run on Windows and Linux?
I'm not saying don't do it. It's just kind of pointless given the current state of Mono.
Far be it from me to tell you how to spend your time, but you're not really giving Mono a fair shake if you're not attempting to write cross-platform code.
And if it's not cross-platform, there's really no reason to use Mono, except maybe to attract Windows developers.
But don't let that stop you. I wrote a webapp that uses model-level validation using Django. Pointless, but enlightening.
Most online streams TODAY are not HD. The only possible reason they wouldn't be in the future would be if ISPs imposed bandwidth caps.
Coincidentally, these ISPS are rolling out their own video on demand services at the same time they are capping the amount of content you can download from other providers.
Intent doesn't matter. Effects do. Installing a potential attack vector like ICQ when you were asked not to should be grounds for firing. Nobody produces enough revenue to make that kind of risk worthwhile.
Then again, why does IT let these people even have the ability to install software of any kind?
The trick is buying the hardware after you decide on the software, not the other way around.
That same way you wouldn't buy an UltraSparc machine, then choose Windows as the OS, you shouldn't buy a random capture card then choose your DVR software.
hey *definitely* deserve to be there since they created the first arcade game (Pong), first home videogames (Atari 2600 cartridges)
Pong wasn't the first arcade game (Galaxy Game was, or Computer Space if you're only counting commercial releases), and the Atari 2600 not only wasn't the first home console (the Magnavox Odyssey was), it wasn't Atari's first home console (Pong was).
"Fortunately for Japan, the submarines carrying the materials were sunk en-route, as the retaliation for the attacks (especially the bio-warfare) would have been massive."
You mean worse than having their cities relentlessly firebombed, then using the world's entire supply of U-238 and Plutonium to vaporize two cities?

the DRM servers will still be functioning even if the music store is closed.
Why would it still be running if it's not making any money? Hasn't every DRM music store that shut down so far also turned off the DRM servers?

Electricity costs will go up, but nowhere near the rate oil prices will. We have a ways to go before we hit peak coal.
I think you mean miles per kilowatt hour.
The apps and movies don't have DRM?

Closer? Wasn't it originally J++?
You should upgrade. I get 56kbps with RFC1149
I just grep my mbox.
That's what real programmers look like. Pick pretty much any legend besides Ada Lovelace, and they have a beard and/or long hair.

You think $60 for ~10 hours (15 hrs, sans ads) of TV is a good deal? That 2-3 days of TV for the average person.
The groundwork is already laid. It's the last mile that's to problem.

That's why I use media temple. I have Django for what needs to scale, and Rails for the rest.

Django has a unit testing system built in. I've never used it, though. My Django apps are always too simple to worry about it.
Galaxy Game did collect money, actually. It just wasn't a mass produced commercial product.

Yeah, I kinda mentioned the firebombing.

Warhead has really soured me toward the Crysis franchise.
