Well that should be nice and easy for you test. Sit with your back to a friend who has your laptop, and they can switch the WiFi on and off. You can then tell them if the WiFi is on, or off. If you get a statistically significant result, you should call your local university for further, more rigorous, study.
Westinghouse et al...just order a coat of green paint to go onto their Chernobyl era dinosaur designs instead.
Western designs are absolutely nothing like the RBMK series reactor that was built at Chernobyl. Reactor design may have stood still in the United States over the past three decades, but other western countries (& a few non-western countries) have been building new reactors and improving reactor design while the US has been sleeping. Modern CANDU designs, the Westinghouse AP1000, ABWR & APWR are not 1950's technology.
I have five cats, and they've always been fed on a schedule. Only one of them is slightly overweight, and that's because of underlying health issues that mean he didn't play much as a kitten/young adult and has fallen in a sedentary lifestyle a little earlier than the others.
If I tried to leave food out all the time the two youngest would eat everyones before they had a chance.
We have our place. Yes, I am a process Nazi, as anyone who has worked with me will attest. The thing is, I know when to let it slide. When the customer is breathing down your neck for a critical bug fix, it's the only change in the build and the developers have tested it, that isn't a good time to demand a full system test. For example.
Processes are a tool. I use them to make sure you've at least thought about what you're doing, and what the risks are, and then perhaps I can trust you to get on with it, safe in the knowledge that people are at least trying to do the right thing.
It's not the first until it actually implements it.
Er, Linux does implement it. It's about to merged into mainline.
Of course with no USB 3.0 ports or hardware, it hardly matters.
Sarah Sharpe works for Intel. She's access to prototype HCDs and host devices for over six months and now has access to engineering sample chipsets that implement USB 3.0. The code has already been shown to work.
devices that make use of USB 3.0 will still not have drivers.
That's simply not true. The USB 3.0 spec. is mostly concerned with the phy. & bus. The xHCI spec covers the HCD. The software-level device interfaces have not changed, or have changed very little.
How does the physics thread update the render thread?
Use asynchronous message passing. No, really. There is no implicit locking involved in such a scheme. Take a look at the BeOS or Syllable GUI APIs for an example.
But you are being an ass. Telling people to go fuck themselves just re-enforces that perception.
All I originally said was that the guy should be more articulate.
There was nothing inarticulate about his answer at all. He said he didn't know why he did it. You're getting your panties in a bunch because you didn't like his answer, but that's just tough nuts to you. Get over yourself already.
The difference is a lot of menial work and big mess of wires, but nothing fundamental: Buy a couple of logic gates, connect them to form a CPU.
The "connect them to form a CPU" is sort of the trick there though isn't it? I could buy a bunch of TTL chips and "connect them up" but it sure as hell wouldn't do anything other than let the smoke out. It certainly wouldn't be a CPU.
Neither approach will produce a working CPU when one morning you wake up on a deserted island.
My chances of waking up on a deserted island are probably slim, but lets say I did: unless that desert island happens to have a small power generating facility, a couple of hundred working computers, a dozen CPU designers and fully working ASIC fab. complete with a fully trained work force, I don't think anyone is going to be making their own CPUs, no matter how you might try to do it.
According to the fine article it has a 24bit address bus and an 8bit data bus, but presents everything via. a 16bit ISA. It's a bit like a 8088.
Of course the ISA is probably nothing like an x86, so it still wouldn't run [MS|PC|DR|Free]-DOS anyway. Apparently it does have a C compiler, so perhaps you could port Bochs or Qemu to it and then run DOS on that. Emulated. On a TTL CPU running at 2Mhz (2Mhz slower than the original IBM PC). Maybe not then.
10k? I've got a 15k+ C++ project which I wrote from scratch in what is essentially the Syllable equivalent of Notepad. In fact I use the same editor for all of my development work in Syllable: kernel, Glibc, porting stuff like WebKit, writing new applications...all of it. My "IDE" is Bash. Which is how I like it!

I'll only get the audio book if it's read by Morgan Freeman. That would be so awesome.

Pirate Party UK really need to get themselves a press officer who can write a press release, and sharpish.

MPI for C is pretty well supported. It's not that complex. What sort of support would "MPI for C++" look like other than the C interface?
You should go read the available market data. Revenue from server installations far exceeds revenue from desktop & laptop installations.
On the desktop, yes. We have these big machines called "servers" though and Linux wipes the floor with everyone there: 50% of servers now run Linux.
UHH is actually an interesting critique, and many of the criticisms still apply today. The chapter on X is worth reading alone.
RMS had never even used UNIX when he started the GNU project: he was an ITS & Lisp hacker.
Forget the globing, I'm more impressed you can all remember the syntax & quoting rules for -exec.

Multiple threads on a single CPU may not be parallel, but the moment you add more than one core, of course it is parallel.
Sorry Dad.
Are we there yet?

I'm busy ironing at the moment but I'll be sure to fuck myself later.
Here's an idea, maybe you wouldn't get modded down so often if you didn't act like an ass?
What? All he said was "I don't know". It's an honest answer. You are the one who's being an ass about it.

Hell, the TCP header has an entire 6 bits unused (Reserved, but will likely be usable). Just stick your data in there.
