How exactly is this a kill-flag? The headline is misleading as the remote switch does not actually kill the device itself but disables a software feature.
Em, don't know too much about laws and stuff, but doesn't anyone at HP see the potential copyright troubles with transforming flash bytecode to source?
Are you honestly trying to tell me that you adjust the balance and volume of your computer through a CLI?
Regardless, we're talking about people who would be migrating from Windows to Linux who, in all respect, mostly aren't power users and shouldn't even have to know about sudo or command line interfaces.
I think the other (maybe more obvious) thing that's holding people back is having to type crap into a command line console to get anything working properly.
Happens all the time, just browse a bunch of SF.net projects' homepages. Development always has a cost, regardless of the retail price of the product. This also applies to FOSS.
I guess so, yet in the mean time how do you continue space flight? There's nothing out there to replace the program, and the equipment up there requires frequent maintenance (Hubble, ISS, etc.).
How can you retire the shuttle fleet without replacement? Is it that unimportant to certain people? It's hard to imagine for me that there are people out there who are not inspired by NASA's endeavors.
Doesn't matter how much RAM they pump into these things, the game ultimately has to be optimized to leverage the new memory. If you check most benchmarks in Tom's Hardware, you'll see no significant gains and potentially a loss if the game or driver's aren't optimized to take advantage of the new memory.
That's because most games these days are made for last generation SM 3.0 hardware and severe memory limitations.
More RAM means larger framebuffer (higher resolutions) and higher quality or more textures per frame. It also allows for the caching of shader programs, etc. etc. All in all, higher clockspeeds, more RAM and more processing units are never bad, IMO.
Also, a Quadro is targeted towards professional applications (Maya, Max, Cinema4D, Scientific, etc.), not for games. But it will probably take a short while before GeForce cards will carry 4GB of RAM on-board.
Not only are we watching a flower bloom in HD, the plant is named after a Giant Misshapen Phallus which when blooming gives off a smell resembling rotting meat that can be smelled for miles..
So we'll see guys in white suits incinerating it with flamethrowers? GG, Slashdot!
Looks great and everything but who has money for such toys?
Core i7 965 Extreme, 6GB DDR3, NVIDIA GTX 280, X58 Mobo + other junk = easily $1,600 - $2,000.
It's good to see that people still invest in alternative sources of energy. $1.2B in pre-orders can't be bad and (I think) shows a great sign of faith in these technologies.
This kind of thing got me kicked out of school some 7-8 years ago (not in the US though). And even though the site was created with only "good humor" in mind, teachers tend to disagree. Only after you do it you find out that the joke was on you.
If I could advise any of those kids from personal experience, I'd say: don't f-ing do it, think about it (specially in the CS/IT/ICT field).
When you're 16 this stuff is funny, but when you get older you realize that your future relies on this teacher, regardless of how much of an idiot he/she might seem to be.

Mod parent up!

You seem to have a problem with your sentence-forming subroutines. Better get that looked at.
Sounds to me like Google is simply launching a product to compete against Wolfram Alpha's pending release.
Isn't this kind of ironic, Oracle?

Sun's suffering, no longer really actively competing with anything. It would be a good thing for them to do and at $6.5B, it should be a no-brainer.
Since this is actually “serious” legislation, does this mean that children going to school in Illinois will be taught that Pluto is a planet?

They will also be able to conveniently download the contents on Wikileaks.org in 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..
I guess these are the main things without wasting too much time on this topic.
Iwan, rustig aan, kerel. Trolls zijn trolls en dat soort rommel is niet persoonlijk bedoeld.
Translation:
Trolls this and that.. blah blah, learn Dutch.
Wow. You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

I like the idea of the treadmill but I'll only get it if it has a holder for my Bawls.
Here's the link to the official announcement at the Royal Dutch Mint. It's funny to see how a Belgian wins a Dutch contest.

Ok, so the site has been redacted a bit. Is the alternative any better?
