My kernel (linux-2.6.x) does a very good job of keeping processes running on the same CPU they last ran on. Not perfect, but good. So, wouldn't separate caches be as good as a single cache, and perhaps better?
Apparently not. I too have "a blank spot in the middle of the toolbar that displays "PageRank" when I hover over it with the cursor" but otherwise, nothing.
I assume that it only works when you select a site that's a result of a Google search.
I just switched from PacBell to Speakeasy DSL, and I am astounded at how well they manage the entire customer experience.

My guess is that SCO may claim that revealing this code would reveal a trade secret or something, so I expect them to fight back against this.
Since the source code is already in the hands of umpteen thousand people, I don't think there is any trade secret left to reveal, but the law, in its infinite wisdom, may disagree with me.
What a load of crap. Sounds like you work for SCO.
Most of the people I've worked with -- the vast majority, above and below me, including presidents, vice-presidents, general managers, directors, managers, and individual contributors, across 10 or more companies I've worked at -- were ethical. There have been some exceptions, but they number at most a half dozen over my 20+ years in the software business.
If Bill Gates is using the same SS # that was leaked in 1995, then he is a total moron. He is not a moron. Therefore he is not using the same SS # that was leaked in 1995. QED
I tried using the Linuxant driver, had problems, emailed their support, and I did not received a reply, not even an automated acknowledgement.
Based on their (lack of) responsiveness so far, I would not recommend them. I have switched to using the madwifi driver (with a different wireless card).
I would really like OO to displace MS Office, but my experience is that there are too many glitches when sharing *.doc and *.ppt files for OO to be a realistic alternative to MS Office. Sometimes what I get is wildly off (e.g. a 6 page OO doc becomes a 9 page Word doc; tables disappear; deleted text reappears, etc.)
My reality is that many people send me MS office files, and the translation back and forth must be perfect for me to abandon MS Office. If I didn't work with MS files, and I could use OO exclusively, I would have switched a long time ago.
So, in the meantime I use MS Office with CrossOver Office, and I don't have any problems.
I'm interested in algorithms that could be used to compare code. Moss and CAP from Berkeley are not interesting because the algorithm is secret (AFAIK).
What algorithms other than ESR's comparator are there? (I recall but can't locate a recent comment on Slashdot that said something like "most plagiarism detection programs used by professors use the XXXX algorithm".)
Last year I taught a language-agnostic Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming course at Cal State Hayward using Timothy Budd's book of the same name. He uses C++, C#, Java, Smalltalk, Apple's Object Pascal, Delphi Pascal, Ruby, and Objective-C for examples, with many examples presented in several languages.
One of the strong impressions that has remained with me is just how many of the language decisions the developers of Java got right, and conversely, how many were gotten wrong by the designers of C++.

P.S. I took the time to look up the first posting in this thread which has been modded down -2 as a troll.
It really ticks me off to see a reasonable posting modded down as a troll for God knows what reason. So much so that whenever I tell someone about Slashdot, I also mention that the moderators frequently have their heads up their asses, impose their personal views on everyone by modding down postings with which they disagree, and generally treat readers as children. Thank you, but we can think for ourselves. (Sorry about the language, but, in fact, I'm restraining myself.)
Real science has proper control groups and reproducible results. Programming has neither.?
So, physics, chemistry, & astronomy, which don't have control groups, aren't science? Methinks you need to revise your definition of science to be more in line with what other scientists mean when they use the word "science".
Er, WinCE doesn't provide "real-time performance", and least not the way the phrase is understood in the embedded world. It has too much latency and not enough determinism. It does, however, provide a familar GUI for embedded devices, so it is only useful in embedded systems where missing a deadline is not catastrophic.
The problem with this approach is that you'll never be able to prove that you are the owner of the domain. But if you willing to stick with only one registrar for the life of the domain, and you have an account with the registrar that's separate from the domain, then it might work.

A better URL for all aspects;-) of Aspect-Oriented Programming is this.
BTW, when compiling standard Java, the AspectJ compiler produces the same bytecodes that are produced by a standard Java compiler because the same compiler is used.
The first incarnation of the compiler produced Java code that was then compiled by a standard Java compiler. The second produced bytecode directly, and the current version -- I believe -- uses a modified Eclipse compiler.
I seem to recall a story about another young Irish student who had developed a "revolutionary" encryption engine a while back. That was largely all claim and no solid documentation as well, and what has become of her efforts since then? Not much, not even a single update.
Bullshit. Get your facts straight before you malign someone. Sarah Flannery
won the Ireland's Young Scientist of the Year, and
the European Young Scientist of the Year awards,
was awarded a third-place Karl Menger Memorial Award from the American Mathematical Society and a fourth-place Grand Award in Mathematics,
won Intel Fellows Achievement Award,
wrote a paper on her algorithm, with a postscript exposing a successful attack,
She used Mathematica, so the Wolfram website has review of the book.
Here's a quote from Bruce Schneier in his 15 Dec 99 newsletter .
To me, this makes Flannery even more impressive as a young cryptographer. As I have said many times before, anyone can invent a new cryptosystem. Very few people are smart enough to be able to break them. By breaking her own system, Flannery has shown even more promise as a cryptographer. I look forward to more work from her.
All of this was easily found with a Google search that garned 24,000 hits.

This won't work. Bush will win by a landslide. You have to unite behind one candidate. (My choice is Dean.)

Maybe not. Perhaps SCO has deliberately chosen a poor example to lull us all into complacency.
