So he thinks it is like a dopamine squirt just by watching at anectdotical data.
It is sad that you can come up with a new psychological disorder just by hearing stories and then writing the down just because you are from an ivy-league university.
Any real data from a controlled study? No.
And that conclusion that multitasking decreases productivity... anyone who studied OS design knows that it depends on many things (the effect on overall productivity).
Obviusly, that scene means that the production team hired a real hacker to consult him about computer stuff. Like, "When you try to access another computer, do you really see big red letters saying 'Acces denied!'?..."
Any ideas who might be the happy hacker that led the Wachowski brothers in the right path?
Reloaded will start showing the 22th here in Panamá... I'll make sure I carefully read the credits at the end.
Yup, it is sad that to use the Java platform you have to code everything in Java. Yes, it is great that to code for.NET platform implementations, you will be able to work on any language.
But only in Java you'll get true "code once, run everywhere"... yes, I know that M$ standarized the core of.NET, and that you can write your own implementation, BUT, all M$.NET developers are using.NET to use M$-only technologies, like COM and OLE. And, for example, I'm going to use MONO to write GNOME apps, and I'm sure I'll use CLR apis on MONO that will depend on libraries that are only available on Linux/GNOME (until someone ports them to windows).
My point is that, altough you can write platform independent apps on.NET, no one is going to write platform independent apps on.NET/MONO.
So Java still has one important advantage. And I think that "code once, run everywhere" is usefull in many situations.
Just for correctness: there is no Ministry of Science and Technology in Panamá. We only have a "National Secretariat for Science and Technology". Is a semi-autonomous entity, directly under the ministry of the presidency.
Another thing: all Panamanian ISPs (including C&W Internet) talked to the legislative against the block. Why? Because, as we all know, it was stupid, and because users were cancelling their contracts with their ISPs or demanding a bandwidth reduction (for broadband users).
So fixing a bug 24 hours after it is found by the developers (open source) is as insecure as fixing a bug 1 month later after it is found by an user or cracker (closed source)???
... more anxious to be creative ...

I think that it all comes down to the "this is more intuitive" myth.
Someone said that "the only intuitive interface is the nipple, after that everything else is learned".
Yes, there are things that really are the result of bad UI design, but most of the changes companies do to ther GUIs is because someone new comes and says "that is not intuitive", and not because it is bad UI design.
I'm from Panamá, and many latin american countries have the same opinion on this issue:
Here, people is convinced that the DOJ is hurting USA's economy by fighting MS. They are convinced that MS is the "good guys" of the movie.
When I try to explain that MS is really an unethical monopoly, no-one understands.... whats worst, is that there is people that doesn't wants to understand the facts.... "No, No, Microsoft is the messiah".
It is sad to live in a third world country. Big companies like Microsoft can convince everyone of their lies.
I have seen all kind of people beleiving MS's lies, in person. High school students, college students, government people in the highest positions (like our president), PhDs (not in computer science, of course).
What could I do to make people open their eyes and see the truth???

Right now I'm watching my new desktop image of the tadpole galaxy. And like another poster said, it is amazing and scary to watch all those other galaxies in the background of that image.
Where did Oracle trained their salesmen?? I need that kind of sales talent on my company. Do you think they would be interested in switching companies?
After the movie, X-files started feeling different, like they didn't know how to keep the story going. I still watch it, but waiting to see if they do something good like before the movie.
For some reason, Jet Li's fights, on Hollywood, can't achieve the same beauty they do on Chinese movies.
The movie making process is a lot different in Hollywood than in China. I think that's the problem.
By the way, photography direction for fight scenes on Hollywood movies have always been total crap. Hollywood doesn't knows how to film fights. You never understand what's going on, you can't see the action....... unlike Chinese movies, you get to see every move in it's great beautie.
Even Jackie Chan's movies filmed in China totally shadow his work on Hollywood.
Conspiracy theory: hollywood wants to kill Chinese actors and martial arts on USA in it's beginning, so they can keep filming bar fights with chairs breaking and bottles breaking in the head of someone.

On the multitasking stuff I was just saying, "duh! nothing new".
I want real data that supports their claim on a new psychological disorder... no data on that = bunk

statistical technique do you use to estimate the number of users that use Linux on a machine that came with windows pre-installed?
If I recall correctly, earth rotation, in the beginning, was just 12 hours, and it's been slowing down mainly due to the tides.

Gantenbrink was doing a serious work. But, sadly, his name was used in all the pseudo-science/alien-conspiracy books that appeared since then.
That's the main reason Hawass kicked him forever from the pyramids.
...but I like their attitude.
Of course god nor any other magical entity from humans imagination had anything to do with their win.
They won because of their hard work, training, discipline, scientific nutrition, etc...
Simply take their prayers as a humility sign. Humility is a good quality.
of what the human body is capable of.
It is incredible how he performed this world cup, after all those injuries.
I mean, four years of injuries, including a rebuilt knee, and 8 goals in the world cup??!!!
That's just amazing.
So fixing a bug 24 hours after it is found by the developers (open source) is as insecure as fixing a bug 1 month later after it is found by an user or cracker (closed source)???

I like "Special Edition Pro", but I think it will be "Midiclorian Enhanced Star Wars".
Perhaps, it will be "Positive Chi Star Wars", or some other new age stuff.
Anyway, I won't suffer anymore. Star Wars is dead since the phantom menace.
I totally back this up.
I'm from Panamá. My government has its head inside its but. They beleive Microsoft is the Mesiah, the saviour of the opressed and the poor.
More information from another latin american country could help people to wake up.
Interview!!!
Well. I wouldn't pay for legitimate mp3 files for the same reason I don't want free mp3 files.
Have you ever heard a baritone sax solo on mp3?? Sounds like crap. The only way it sounds good is with no compression at all.
The day I can get CD quality downloading files, fast, without having to pay for huge bandwith, I will pay for legitimacy.
They are going to give all my fake information to third parties!!!
I'll have to come up with more fake names. F**k Microsoft!!

So Linus Torvalds was walking a dead end path when he started programming Linux???
Where did Oracle trained their salesmen?? I need that kind of sales talent on my company. Do you think they would be interested in switching companies?
What do they mean with "as far as possible"??
What do they mean with "situations in which the goal of Royalty-Free implementations may not be attainable"???
This is bullshit.
You are right. In Latin America, no one beats the crap out of you for playing chess in highschool.
You gringos are wierd. Why do you torture intelligent kids in higschool?
After the movie, X-files started feeling different, like they didn't know how to keep the story going. I still watch it, but waiting to see if they do something good like before the movie.
