Probably not the first to suggest this but why doesn't somebody develop an API for publishing to devices like the Kindle?
Then these newspapers can sell digital subscriptions and the device can pull articles AND ads out of the interwebs (all provided by the hosting paper)...
Of course... they probably wouldn't include this in your dead tree subscription...
CS101- My first time programming. Pen+Paper quizzes. The part that freaked me out the most?
public static void main( String args[] ) {}
The rest was cake... but I didn't quite understand what all that mumbo jubo was...
my final year in college- one professor had us writing out all sorts of crazy algorithms- some as easy as searching a string, others more complicated assembly programs that took about 8 times reading to understand the problem.
I always felt SO smart coding without a compiler or assembler on those tests. It was really a great feeling. Until I'd get it back and realized I lost a point for forgetting a semi colon...
How about not being able to get past the Yeti near the end of the game- you and your sister begging your parents to let you call the Sierra hotline-
only to hear the haunting words....
"Throw the pie you received from the baker, at the Yeti"
Yes, the pie I ate like an hour into the game... that pie. That same fucking pie.
Slashdotters care about privacy. People on these social networking sites want their lives to be on show for everyone. I don't think people who twit every 5 minutes where they are and what they are doing are really to concerned about their privacy.
All we need to do is find a slashdotter who 'tweets' every 5 minutes and you'll implode, a black hole will take your place, and the universe will collapse.
I think I just found a new hobby. Making gross generalizations? No, that's your job- I'll start using twitter.
I am an RCG- working my first real full time job. The company is large... so sometimes it's hard not to feel lost...
Being an effective member of a team is a really difficult thing to do (when your assignments are open ended... or hell- whatever you want).
Asking questions is a very difficult thing to do (You have to know what you want first).
Saying "I don't know" is a very difficult thing to do.
Hunting down the right person to help you instead of sinking a whole day into figuring it out yourself is a very difficult thing to do.
School has always been easy for me (except when I took Galactic Astro physics...), and because of that- I never got to practice these skills.
A 30 yr old with industry/corporate experience brings a lot more to the table than I can right now. All I can do is try to do is work as hard as I can and try try try to practice these skills.
So unless the author has been working in retail for the last 10 yrs (no offense...), I have to agree- he'll be at least if not more valuable than a younger RCG.
Perhaps they're just putting off death hoping that a 'miracle' happens...
People don't typically want to die- afraid or not...
You can still want more time with your family, etc-
maybe they just keep praying for that miracle cure to happen and want to stick around for it as long as they can to plead their case...
or we christians just don't believe in God... whatevvvv
Mod parent up- It is not a "christian idea"- I have heard it as having Catholic roots as well.
I am Greek Orthodox and we don't believe in original sin... please don't lump all us Christians into 1 group...
I want to see him try and bring this on a plane- if it doesn't scream "DIY bomb" to a TSA employee, I don't know what does (aside from the conventional belled alarm clock, ticking watch, or vibrating automatic razor)
they wouldn't even let that guy and his macbook air through without giving him the run-around...
You've obviously never been to Maine. I am willing to take the risk so that I can go camping in the summer time!
Now that I've moved out to California- whenever I hear "It's buggy"- I just have to laugh.
You don't know "buggy" until you've seen a giant mosquito eat a small child... in fact...
What most people don't understand is that CUDA is an ugly language tied very close to NVIDIA architecture. Props for being the first- but it is too closed. OpenCL is an *attempt* to abstract this architecture away- which is why it can supposedly be used on GPU, CPU, Cell, etc.
If OpenCL picks up, then CUDA will be nothing but a layer in the software stack to save the Nvidia driver team some lines of code-
OpenCL -> Cuda -> Hardware
Nvidia has already accepted this by announcing OpenCL support- I don't see why anyone would write for CUDA anymore- except for the fact that they already know it.
You are right, there is no code yet, which is a problem. But the great thing about OCL is that once compilers and drivers are released the code can be run on the CPU before hardware even hits the market.
Something you don't seem to get to in your rant, though, is that Cuda is not OpenCl's competition... DX11 and Compute Shaders are.
ps. OGL and OCL will be able to share memory objects- so cool! (probably DX11 will do the same). These abstraction are just COOL- whoever wins (as long as it isn't CUDA)
Yes, and if the hardware does NOT support the standard, then the drivers will be doing all the work (workarounds), and we're right where we started- SLOW computations.
These hardware devices MUST to be designed, developed, and tested for the OpenCL standard... And believe me- they are.
Those 2 google links indicate office closures (redeployment of engineers, not firing) and the firing of 100 HR personel....It even says they are still hiring (just at a slower rate)
I move to have your logic stricken from the record.
As a recent college graduate, I have one thing to say-
Any student that violates the above should be removed from College. NO REFUND I had to work in a couple of groups where other students would not only use Wikipedia as their primary source of information (not beyond it), but they would also copy and paste right from the website and submit it for peer review as a "rough draft."
I assume these are C students.... but they should be failing.
If this is being integrated with Microsoft One Note (i love this program) with some sort of online sync functionality, then I would love it.
As far as needing to go online to have a 'note book'... no thanks.
I really just want a local client that syncs to an online accessible arena... much like outlook and its web ui...

It's painted to look like a cow!!!
For some reason this made me think of Rudy Ruettiger... how I hate that movie...
I didn't RTFA but my impression is that there is no "unlimited" plan. the $150 is calculated by the "highest" plan + max overage fee.
$75 + $75
It happens on Law and Order: SVU all the time.

One of my papers for my MBA
I should have stopped there....
May I have 10 seconds of my life back?

I just got the hell out of that place...

but those areas voted for McCain... so I tend not to include them in my "America" (intended as a joke- I hope not too offensive...)
