You didn't get the point. I said two things: no one knows about this Vortal issue (I didn't until I read it on/.) and in here, -gate means nothings and IIRC it was never used.
As one poster mentioned above, the suffix "gate" means nothing to the average Portuguese citizen.
BTW, this is !news. We all know that MS & Intel own the Portuguese government and here in Portugal, no media has caught on this.
Not funny your comment.. More like insightful and tells the story on one line.
My first impression reading that article (can I say it is an article? I think that flash slideshows are not articles) was that my Engrish tricked me, but no...
It is not accurate. I think that laws of conservation of energy apply here.. If the companies won't develop and/or deploy in-house some software and use SaaS, the resources they don't need were used by others to provide the service.
"Intel, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and their supply-chain partners in China need fewer engineers and assembly-line workers to design and build machines to run the packaged or custom apps"
WTF? Does Amazon et al run their services on abacuses?
And if companies want to get all they can from the service, they need IT people coz the sales&mgmt ppl won't do anything.
However, it will be the compatibility with M$ software that will push Linux mainstream. I wouldn't be allowed to install Linux on my laptop if didn't work with the corporate network. I would be fired if I didn't open the Microsoft Word documents. I'm glad that Linux can talk Microsoftish, so I can use Linux at my will.
I've to disagree with you. The average salary is low (if in US is like here in Portugal), but there are very good salaries for good people. Me and a friend, who's TA'ing, we share a office and last week a 2nd year CS student came to our office because he was having some "difficulties" in preparation for the exam. After some minutes of questions, my friend discovered the problem: "How many bits there are in a byte?" The answer? "Four".
The theory behind it is this: If you can take the garbage molecules apart and put them back together in a lower energy configuration then you get to keep the profit.
You all must be on drugs.. DRAM, SSD & HDD. You got all the software you will ever need. 75% less energy than same capacity solutions. Do you ever use an EMC Clariion? Did you check those insane prices? The CX4-120 costs around $4000 and the software for 1 user another $4000 (prices vary)
The folks at Sun are not stupid, specially when it is HPC.
And BTW, storage space isn't the most important thing. Have you ever wondered why Google keeps offering more space for GMail? They need huge amounts of IOPS (Input/Output operations Per Second) and the standard way is adding more and more HDDs. Or Sun style, using an approach that I will consider when my enterprise starts.
In Europe, the last legislation imposed by European Union says that any public info is prior art. It doesn't matter if it was you or not publishing that.
Also you don't need to make your invention secret during the application process. The prior art is only considered to the application timestamp. The 1-year grace period is specific to US.
Also, to the previous poster, copyright is on implementations, not on ideas. Eg. I had this idea to write a novel where a cop chases a mafia boss. If you write the book, I can't claim copyright on it.
I should give you mod points, but instead I want to subscribe what you said. My laptop (Toshiba A200) wastes more time getting to GRUB than openSUSE 11 uses booting (till the login manager).
Slashdot Mirror
to kick Conficker's ass like in Terminator:SCC we have John Henry to fight Skynet...
Most of all, make sure that anyone that uses a computer is aware of the risks. Even more sure with higher clearance levels.
I think they should start using /. polls to do the elections. They're more accurate, it seems :P
BTW, the first post is posted as AC, and then he posts with his username...

Only in the world of 24? The representation of the governments made in 24 could be the most authentic ever made...
This was the story that was being bounced by those switches...
You liar... It's the 6th match
Nahh, I take my projects' stem cells. You know, just in case they would need them later.
With -232 degrees Celsius, it's a shame that nobody came remembered this earlier...
IANAL and IANAmerican, but this wouldn't be a case where the work is made by the federal government and is considered public domain?

Its possible to try predictive input. See http://www.dasher.org.uk/

our flag means a whole hell
My dear $DEITY, please forgive my sins so when I die I would not have an American flag...
I got it thanks, just pointing the obvious.

Already invented.. it's called combustion

"Intelligent design" is the biggest "scientific hoax" ever devised.
You can't claim that. You can argue that science didn't prove "Intelligent design" as the start of our universe. But evolution wasn't proved either.
So, for me, intelligent design is no more hoax than darwinism.
And BTW, the intelligent design only defends that randomness was not a factor in the beginning of universe and life on Earth.
