I have been waiting all my life to see how my simulation data would look in Excel. And everyone is supposed to have it (damn you linux users ! damn you people with not enough money to buy it !).
On a more serious note, a common ground for data format would be nice. You already have some generic formats, like HDF5 and other, but i must admit right now, it is a bit of a jungle in the astrophysic department, and it is not going to change anytime soon (unless someone make a awesome generic, one-fit-all library in... Fortran77...).
Well, a friend of mine did this kind of stuff when he first got his iphone (via sms). But true, i don't see the point myself, beside when it is used by TPB members:)
Maybe this is why there is not anykind of offensive payload on in it yet (beside the propagation part). The guys launched it, and when they saw how well they programmed it, they just want hidding in a hole somewhere.
"The spreading Windows 7 worm is now viewed as such a significant threat that it's inspired the formation of a posse to stop it, with Public Sanity Service (PSS) leading the charge by offering a $250,000 reward to bring the Windows 7 malware bad guys to justice. The money will be paid for 'information that results in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for legally launching the Windows 7 malicious code on the Internet,' PSS said today in a statement, adding it is fostering a partnership with Internet registries and DNA providers such as ICANN, ORG, and NeuStar as well as security vendors Symantec and Arbor Networks, among others, to stop the Windows 7 worm once and for all. Windows 7, also called Windows Vista SP2, is estimated to have infected at least 90% of all PCs worldwide. It has been slowly but surely spreading since January. Its main trick is to also malware installation and authorize access to malware vendors' Web sites."
Wrong, if you leave in an in-developpement country, you don't have the process limitation.
The starter version (OEM version) have the limitation, and is available world wild. So, it is going to be Starter version with limitation for new computers, with the possibility for a paying upgrade to a full version.Starter is a teaser, and available everywhere.
Maybe you should be the one checking your information.
Windows 7 Starter (worldwide via OEM only): up to three concurrent applications, ability to join a Home Group, improved taskbar and JumpLists
Windows 7 Home Basic (emerging markets): unlimited applications, live thumbnail previews and enhanced visual experience, advanced networking support (ad-hoc wireless networks and Internet connection sharing), and Mobility Center
The main paradox of this story is that, people believe other people inside a game over internet, pretending knowing them, but can't differentiate between a "standard" behaviour or a copycat, meaning they don't know them at all. Most people can easily recognise who is on the other side of the phone just by they way of speaking, even if they change their voice.
I will never understand how you can have full confiance in someone you never meet and with who you never shared a beer, but well, maybe it is just me...
"You can not compete with Windows, repeating it," Zavalishin says. "It is impossible to compete with Windows, creating a functionally weaker system, such as Linux. [...] Phantom, he says, will increase programmer productivity by at least 30 per cent - and perhaps as much as 400 per cent."
I want to know which kind of drug this guy take. He have some kind of Linus complex, thinking he can rewrite the history or something.
For what i know, most computation intensive clusters are running on some flavor of *nix system, and i don't feel like flying thousands of kilometers to go type my command on a local terminal. I prefer to stay at home and use a nice ssh to do this. Call me when windows have a native ssh daemon.

Q: Is Phantom a POSIX-compliant system?
A: No. It is possible to layer POSIX subsystem above the Phantom native environment, but it is not an idea per se.
Q: OS is based on VM â" does it mean that not all the possible programming languages will be supported?
A: Yes. Say goodbye to C and Assembler. On the other side, everything is in Java or C# now, or even in some even more dynamic language, such as Javascript or even PHP. All these languages will be supported.
So, no POSIX, no C, everything in slower, scripted languages...
Isn't Baidu the search engine which was at the center of the polemic about directly linking to copyrighted contents ? If so, this is nice from the China gouvernement to directly give a great search engine to find illegal stuffs.
Another thought is that, if you are looking for some 'illegal' stuffs on Baidu, you end up with results linked inside Baidu, resulting in an infinite loop of results, bringing down the whole China innertube.
Hum ?
You can try to launch a really big and nasty simulation of the universe. Those produce really nice pictures and eat up all your processor power.
Just don't let this kind of power unused, it is a waste:)

You have been erased.

By the time it take to get the linked webpages, i think we manage to explode (or slashploder ?) 2 more servers from distance.
But like some people suggested, create a Facebook group on the down status of Twitter, should solve your problem.
Yep, but can you imagine the mental distress of those who can't post this tweet (is this a word ?) about the fact they are waiting at a red light ?

Go outside, take a sunbath, twitter your friend about it... err, ha, well...

Microsoft embrasing open source, one of the many signs of Apocalypse. Beware !
RTFA. The part about 'not denying the allegations' is part of the original article. It is not something the poster made by himself.
