It's a reference to David Icke. Not content with his lot as a BBC sports commentator, he declared himself the son of god, and proclaimed that the Queen of England is infact a lizard. Makes sense I guess. Given a choice between people thinking I was insane, or thinking I liked football, I'd go for insane too...
I'm fairly sure there will be some code from some internal libFat, libUsb, libD3D, libDVD, libNetwork libs (whatever they are called) that has been reused. To not do so would be insane. Equally insane would be taking libWindowsRegistry and porting that to the 360. I imagine both points of view are right to some extent.
It's not the panda that's efficient, it's the enzymes produced by the bacteria found in their gut. Apparently panda's like bamboo, but the enzymes themselves aren't as fussy.....
Very true. To recover the corpses of the plauge victims, they dug up some ash, unburnt it to get back to original bodies, and were able to extract samples of the original bacterium from that. It's remarkable what technology can do these days don't you think?
I expect more from the OSS community, than the academic community to be honest. The amount of (CS) papers I've read that either fabricate the results; fail to mention serious drawbacks; only work in extreme edge cases; have hand massaged data sets;or fail to acknowledge any computing advances from the last 10 years; is a bit beyond ludicrous to be honest. At least an OSC project will be honest about the presence of bugs.....
GIMPs UI has hideous usability issues that largely preclude it from any serious work. Last time I attempted to use it, the simple fact you couldn't see the brush when you moved the mouse over the canvas infuriated me to the point I doubt I'll bother with it again. Just because a photoshop user points out these flaws does not mean that it gives you the arrogance to simply ignore these comments. The GUI was hideous. If there is development work going on in this area, then IMHO it should be applauded. Taking your approach of simply poo-pooing everything because you absurdly believe GUI enhancements to be the work of satan (photoshop users), isn't really going to move the product forward now is it?
It's MUCH worse than that. What you are looking at, is a sneak peek at the new PS4 architecture. There will be 23 and a 1/5 of those processors, cut into thirds, and connected via a new carrier pigeon based data bus. To make PS3 developers feel at home, the dev tools will be based upon the open source 'brainfuck' compiler, and the processor fragments will be physically arranged in the shape of a finger flipping you the bird. Here's hoping for a pre-christmas launch date!
GCHQ is a large dougnut shaped building on the edge of cheltenham that intercepts and listens to communications - they are simply a data gathering agency. . MI5 (in london) is the brains of the operation (and scours the data that GCHQ collects). If you like, GCHQ is 'google' for MI5/MI6
More importantly, if legislation went through saying that companies were liable for insecurity and the damage that is caused, everything would triple in cost and the masses with piss soup in rage
No, it would simply force the hand of developers to release all security related code under a GNU license to avoid the liabilities of being the maintainers of the software. That or (very brave) specialsed hardware/software security companies would start providing middleware for that purpose.

It's ok, a bacterium can have sex with itself.....

Or is there anyone here who manages to use distributed processing on most apps on their desktop?
does incredibuild (when I'm programming), and rendering apps for filmFX work count?

Once 4chan gets wind, it's safe to assume all google searches will return rick astley....

Where are the Java bashers when you really need them?
They're involved in a flame war with the C# bashers at the moment, but don't worry, they'll be along shortly after hell freezes over....
you're forgetting that all foodstuffs are dehydrated....
But not the first time a failure has occurred when resupplying the ISS.....
I don't think anyone would appreciate a european gift of special brew.
Q.E.D. It was the other way around.

The fact that one of the lab's members gave a talk saying it's important isn't the world's most neutral assessment of its importance
Yeah, you need a 2000 year old book to add weight to those sorts of tactics..... ;)

It is clear: Google wants to get into the hardware business.
Or the patent troll business..... ?
But that would ruin the surprise when the patent lawyer shows up!
and casts their ability to do logical inquiry into doubt
Religious faith and logical inquiry have never been the best of friends.....

Oh, so they've added copy and paste then? :p

What about an IQ test for drivers?
It's called the 'theory' test. If you are too dumb to pass that test, you are too dumb to drive. End of story.

How many stock fans and heatsinks will be saved from gathering dust because of this?
None. The HSFs installed in a PC gather more dust than those still in their boxes :p
