You're out of date. Even Nvidia knows OpenCL will replace CUDA. At least AMD is more open about it and pushing it hard with their OpenCL 1.1 release in their 2.x SDK.
Opera 11.10 alpha [build 2020] is a long ways behind WebKit browsers for HTML 5 standardization. It's a work-in-progress that is at least 12-16 months behind the WebKit code-base. It's probably 9-12 months behind Gecko 2. Wake me when they actually get the HTML 5 Parser completed. The one bright spot is that Opera seems to be trying to get complete support of HTML 5 Forms before the rest of the browsers. But until their HTML 5 Parser is fully functional it's a bit of a catch 22.
Agreed and I'll add the long awaited and now it seems punted Technical Drafting features in Inkscape make it far less exciting of a Vector Tool than it could become. The Lathe Tool, the dimensioning features to provide technical drawing specs and more are nice wish list features that were slated for 0.48 that never materialized.
Now how sad is it that FreeBSD 8.2 has KDE 4.5.5 before Debian Sid? Great news for FreeBSD but truly pathetic for Debian, who keeps punting on any exact dates for KDE 4.6 builds, let alone 4.5.5.
The guy is a fascist asshole. I personally wouldn't wish cancer on anyone - even a fascist asshole - but the fact remains that he's a jerk. Being ill doesn't make him angelic and above criticism or (god forbid) mere comment - as is the case here. Job's health is news for nerds because he is the leader of a cult that has a lot of influence in the IT world. If he dies, the effects on the Apple cult will be profound. Mentioning any of this isn't evil, bad, perverted or whatever, it's just news.
Unless you feel better than everyone else by posting that sanctimonious crap.
You'r a fucking tool. You know jack $hit about the man. Perhaps you got shot down more than once for a job? I don't know, nor do I care. Yet, throwing around fascist like it's a punchline only leads me to conclude you're a fucking tool.
I wish I had mod points to give to you. We already know Positron Engines are the only way for Deep Space Travel and thus speeds near light speed; and with the recent work at WSU Plasma Lab on Positrons its also clear that development of utilizing the energy from that Positron Drive can also be used to sustain a proper shield against cosmic radiation. Why in the hell people think we're going to be dealing with the current Space Shuttle design in the near future is absurd.
Spitzer? Really? You go into politics, get caught hitting some high priced nooky, and you get a fucking space telescope? And if it was named for some other Spitzer, well that person should be really pissed at the aforementioned asshat...
How about you research before you verbally prematurely ejaculate all over the screen?
You must have never actually achieved a traditional degree in Engineering [Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Civil, Structural, Material Science, Biomechanical, etc]. The last two years is nothing but application.
In the high school I went to, my physics teacher made it perfectly clear that Newtonian physics is just an approximation, although Newtonian physics is only as far as we went. My brother and I went to the same school. I came to study computer science. My brother, on the other hand, developed interest in quantum mechanics in his later years in high school, and is now studying physics in a Ph.D. program.
On the other hand, when both my brother and I had to study number theory in college, we found ourselves having a difficult time to undo the brain damage caused by K-12 school math. I had to take a second stab to undo the brain damage caused by geometric axiomatic proofs because I had to learn formal proofs for reasoning about the soundness of a programming language type system. Both of these difficulties have more to do with putting too much faith on an oversimplified teaching, causing difficulty accepting new ideas later in life. If you want to know, I never took a computer class at school, and instead learned everything on my own since the 5th grade or so.
I know that you're trying to make a point that education inherently has to make omission in material taught in K-12 curricula, but there are two rules of thumbs. One is that you need to leave gaps between the oversimplification so that these gaps can be later filled in. Second is that the oversimplified knowledge you teach still has to have practical application. Now, tell me, how does the evolution theory as taught in your ideal school fulfill these two rules of thumbs? If anything, my opinion is that this new legislation puts education in the right course.
Ultimately Quantum Mechanics is just an finer Approximation to the Laws of Physics. Classical Mechanics, like Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and the like all have their own domains in which their laws are applied.
It's always amusing to see Debian fans complaining that the end users are always going for Ubuntu instead of "hey, why not choose Debian, it's the original and it's the best!" when Debian keeps making moves like this. It's already bad enough to think that a new Linux user would want a browser called "IceWeasel" or would understand that it's really just Firefox renamed because of some silly branding/icon tiff with the mozilla folks. Now they'll have the additional enjoyment of having a bunch of useful drivers removed, or even enjoying the wonderfulness of a nonstandard kernel!
Listen, it's ok to do stuff like this if you're really into teh sooper 100% free as in freedom rms-approved purity, but don't subsequently go complaining when ordinary end users don't want it because it's unusable to anyone other than a free software hacker.
FreeBSD is building its tree using LLVM/Clang as well as GCC. I look forward to seeing Debian FreeBSD and all those packages giving the option of both LLVM and GCC. There will be plenty of people using them and I assume one LLVM 3.0 is out that Ubuntu will seriously be peaking in on what's going on with it.
If they are over 9000 (*sigh*) years old, and in a desert, chances are whatever they could steal won't have much value, even on the black market. A crude knife that seems made on your backyard won't land you any money unless you could show that's from an archaeological site, and we aren't dealing with honorable people here.
Any artifacts that are found perhaps from inside extended subterranean caverns and other lost structures can easily be preserved from the external elements.
There is nothing north of the north pole. What is deeper then the center of the Earth? The center of Jupiter's earth. This is inferring that the universe is some type of sphere-shape similar to Earth where once we get to one side, we eventually go around again like being in orbit. I am pretty confident there is an end to the universe, and at the end: Chuck Norris. Yes,. I said it. Welcome to 4 years ago (I am a time traveller and forgot to go back soon enough to hit first post)
How do you measure a Void? Are you able to to measure the Non-linearity of it's expanding/contracting assumption and it's entire Volume or are you making an assumption that it must be a Blob with Finite Area but a non-uniform surface because it would piss you off that it was an infinitely large Atom, relative to our own ability to measure it?
Well that and the conflation of defense-industry nuclear materials production with energy production -- thorium reactors are almost certainly better for generating power, but they don't help you build nuclear bombs, so they get less funding (or at least they have historically).
Correct. Fermi's work was the first action banned as I wrote above by the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission just for what you mentioned.
If it weren't for the enviro-nuts and not-in-my-backyarders who think electricity magically comes from the socket and not instead from coal plants and the like.
The entire Atmosphere is electrostatically charged. Coal Plants are a horrific solution. We had a proper Nuclear Solution by Ernesto Fermi back in 1944 with Pebbled-bed Nuclear Power Plants. The source material can always be modified. Don't blame the Environmentalists for a lack of Nuclear Energy. Blame the Atomic Energy Commission's first action--to ban Fermi's work--all because Fermi's work wasn't focused on leveraging fissile materials for weaponry.

From the guy that forced Plasma all over KDE as if it improved one's experience and productivity isn't one person I'd lean on for validation.

Facts are not technicalities. They are just facts.
People still print? ;)
More paper is consumed in printing today than several previous decades, combined.

You're right. the ARM A8 Cortex is identical to the ARM A9 Cortex Mult-Core.

Good for a lot of people, but Frameworks go back to 1988 and the original NeXT 2.0 Operating System.
Subjective art is subjective. For my part, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
It was boring as hell. If I want to enjoy a cult movie I watch BladeRunner.

When you're essentially a self-declared God with your own religion and following, living a private life is troublesome.

Population growth in western nations is also declining faster than at any other point in history.
Apparently that atheism gene isn't quite prolific enough.
I forgot, China is a Western Nation.

To his credit he did fight hard for what we all refer to as ObamaCare now. However, only 45% of the population supported it.
Get with reality. The overwhelming majority of Americans polled this month not only support the new Health Care but think it hasn't gone far enough.
