Replace the + by a - and the pi by a tau and the equation equals zero too.
The 1 + 0 thing of the tau manifesto looks weird. I think the one with the - is nicer.
By the way, I find e^(i*tau) = 1 to be pretty elegant as well! It's like, we take e and 2pi, mix a complex number in the bunch, raise it to each others power, and instead of being some number with lots of decimals, it's one!

Or if you want the constant 0 in it too, e^(i*Tau) - 1 = 0:)
Happy tau day to you too!

I often put a comment in the "Comments" section, but don't actually do the edit myself. That gives them the opportunity to discuss about it and make a final decision. And sometimes they've actually taken my comment into account!!
C is very annoying to work with, for only two reasons as far as I'm concerned: no good strings, and no destructors. Especially the no destructors thing is annoying, as you need to do quite a lot of work cleaning things up manually depending on the code path. If in C you could just have some statement which says "when leaving this scope (break, return, end reached), do this (e.g. free something)", it's be a lot handier already.
For supercomputers, it seems at least once a year something doubles. For desktop computers... Mine is 4 years old and still similar in specs to PCs that are being sold today.
Ok, so even though I'm a programmer, when I started reaading the article, I was really thinking this was about a vermin hunter, someone who rids people's houses of infestations of insects or something like that... Am I the only one?
How did people get programs on their computers in the 40's?
And what's the point of using hardware if you attach it to a machine that is way more programmable than the thing itself?
What I meant was, some programmable device with a primitive way to program it would spark my interest, if just to try to get the most out of it. When having to attach it to a computer with USB... I can as well just use that computer and program stuff in C++ on it.
My Belgian university (at least the electronics department and the computer science department) used Linux only in the computer labs, ran Matlab etc... on it, supported spreading your calculations over multiple workstations in the lab, and had posters "Linux is Education" hanging around. An introduction to Linux commands was given to all students when just starting with this.
An article supposed to present a huge history of GUI development, which has "Windows 8" in the title a few days after it was demoed for the first time? Sounds like the article will be something thrown hastily together to jump on the "hype" bandwagon rather than an insightful article about history...
If someone is a Silverlight developer, is it really that hard to develop for something else instead? If you can program, you can program, the technology doesn't matter *that* much... Silverlight is only a few years old so I can't imagine someone having worked their entire lifetime with Silverlight and not knowing anything else.

It's free. Why are you asking for more?

You can't celebrate him enough!
And not for other OSes?
In 2007, they were saying intel would have 80-core CPU's in 2011.
It's 2011 now, where can I buy one?

The previous C++ standard, C++98, is 13 years old, as the name implies.
Did you post that just to be able to use the word that is in your sig?

I find peta more descriptive, it has only one meaning, while quadrillion has two.

I wonder how much power it generates.

Why not make it something self sufficient, something primitive and programmable!

It's always means "it is", so unless the OP meant to say "The report nicely avoids explaining it is methodology ...", "it's" is wrong.
> "The report nicely avoids explaining it's methodology"
It's "its", not "it's".
That's what it looks like in the video...
Sure, but part of this trend is the replacement of the F1-F12 keys with "multimedia keys"...
