What were you trying to show with that link? Someone repeating a bunch of debunked talking points? Because that's what she's doing. For example, that "2000 acre" thing. The oil is not concentrated in one 2,000 acre area; it's in more than 30 deposits spread across 640,000 acres of Alaska's North Slope coastal plain (out of 1.5 million), which means stretching roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure that practically renders the area uninhabitable for large wildlife. Even if you only want to look at the "touching the ground" measure of how much land it takes up, the combination of oil infrastructure, drill sites, airports and roads, and gravel mines is *12,000* acres, not 2,000. No rivers in the North Slope? Um, BS. I mean, come on -- you think that all the water on the north side of Alaska drains all the way to the south? I could go on and on. This is a woman who thinks that an animal that spends most of its life hunting on ice flows isn't going to be adversely impacted by their imminent disappearance, and you're acting like she's some kind of environmentalist? Give me a break.
Actually it means horizontal drilling at safe distances below sea level.
Monopoly
Section 2 of the act forbade monopoly. In section 2 cases, the court has, again on its own initiative, drawn a distinction between coercive and innocent monopoly. The act is not meant to punish businesses that come to dominate their market passively or on their own merit, only those that intentionally dominate the market through misconduct, which generally consists of conspiratorial conduct of the kind forbidden by section 1 of the Sherman Act, or Section 3 of the Clayton Act.
During the MS antitrust trial, Judge Jackson ruled that the Macintosh market was a separate market from the PC market. Apple has a monopoly in the Macintosh market.
So either the MS antitrust trial was a sham, or Apple is a monopoly.
That was based upon the CPU processor not being the same as in the Windows market, pure and simple.
PPD could stand for Permanent Dick Disorder for all that matters seeing as language is nothing more than an arbitrarily agreed upon system for us to leverage and use to expand our own thoughts into patterns.
That's what makes ObjC being a superset of C the perfect fit. What you describe that Javascript has as a dynamically typed language, ObjC has had since it's inception.
It will still be slower for sustained transfers than Firewire 400.
The most important part, did they finally make it non CPU intensive?
The article says that USB 3.0 is finally bi-directional (dedicated send and receive lines), and finally is interrupt driven instead of polled. Given that, then yes, I do believe it will out-class Firewire, even at faster speed grades (800, 1600, perhaps even 3200).
USB 2.0 is so slow because of the polling, and the half-duplex data transfer. USB 3.0 should be similar to PCIe, with the bi-directional signaling and interrupt-driven interface.
I also really want to know what they are targeting with it. as Portable storage has esata which will kick it's butt, and USB2.0 is fine for everything else except video, and we have that standardized on firewire.
I believe they want to get this out and into the public eye before eSATA catches on. USB has an advantage over eSATA: smaller devices really only have room for one connector, and larger devices like drive enclosures still add cost when you add more interfaces. But that advantage will only buy them so much time.
If the USB group continued dragging ass and didn't upgrade speeds, consumers would eventually switch to eSATA for external storage. But if they get a compatible product out before eSATA gains momentum, they will kill off their competition.
I personally like the idea, because I hate having multiple different cables. USB was supposed to fix this probblem, but in order to do this they have to improve performance continuously.
For my desktop I always make a habit of using usb ports on a PCI card for devices that I plug in & out often so that when the connectors become damages I can cheaply & easily replace the card.
Tossing away a product which is cost effective due to the cheap price of the card isn't a solution, but a workaround a design flaw. It's also reflects today's disposable society. Can't make it work? Junk it.
Dotancohen is correct in requesting a higher quality connector. The cost for manufacturing this is negligible.
Yes this is great but have any controls along the lines of "trusted computing" been slipped in to these devices. I ask only because it seems to be the fashion now days to try to put as many controls into new technology as possible.
Why don't you write to the bodies involved with the development and ask them? If we as consumers don't display our wariness, then why shouldn't the engineers put the "controls" in?
Don't blame the Engineers. They are just following their orders or they can find a new employer. If they are cool perhaps we can find lithographed etcha sketches for clues.
...what do people find so difficult about C++? Use the standard libraries, exception handling, and make sure your news all have deletes, and it's no more difficult than any scripting language. I actually prefer it over scripting languages, which have their place, but feel all sloppy and unspecific. It's like the difference between building a house out of 2x4s and building one out of sticks you found laying on the ground.
What do people find so difficult about ObjC and Cocoa? If it's based upon syntax or the MVC then we're back in 1989. The frameworks are deeply rich. My guess is that the only argument will be, ``It's mainly tied to Apple and limiting my cross-platform opportunities.''
Meanwhile, people writing Cocoa applications on the desktop/portable and handheld are making some serious cash and enjoying a growing and large user base for both the desktop/portable and handheld markets without having to leave the Cocoa platform.
True as in lung cancer affects and destorys lungs, c++ affects and destroys c?
True today as it was then; i.e. not true at all.
The original comparison was to Objective-C which is more akin to the Air the Lung breathes to extend it's Self and instead of C++ being that Air it comes with Smog and every damn vapor we could invent to mingle with C.
Google has to make money on more than advertisements and offering search space for corporations. They most certainly will charge developers on a tiered structure.
This is a statement about the Android software, not about the phones that run it. In other words, the real question is: replaced by whom?
Nothing in the Android license requires phone manufacturers or network operators to allow users to replace software. Google didn't get all those mobile operators on board by promising them a lack of control.

Exactly right. Apple didn't like handing control of their platform over to Verizon and Verizon wasn't interested in anything but controlling the platform so Apple courted them all and AT&T seizing on the platform's upside took the risk and has seen profits ever since. This also motivated more Fortune 1000 companies to do business with AT&T for showing they were willing to work with Apple.
Explain how you're going to develop an unrestricted Skype application running on Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile's backbones where they dictate which does or does not get to run?
If you think copy/paste won't be in the iPhone then you are truly delusional.
When the CPU become multi-core then you'll see background processes on OS X handhelds.
Vendor install will always go through the iTunes Store--they get sanity tested on the phones at Apple to make sure there aren't any backdoors or more for Trojan horses and much more that could leave a user's account information exposed and thus a platform compromised. You think Google is going to convince T-Mobile not to do what Apple does? Dream on.
This reminds me of the whining about ObjC/Smalltalk syntax versus C++. People write the worst self-documenting code in C++ yet people complain that it's too hard to use ObjC and get used to the syntax.
We already have excellent Healthcare centers. The Government could provide the EXACT SAME service as a private Insurance Company for PENNIES on the dollar compared to said Private Insurance company.
I don't mean to pick on you today, but geez. The government CAN'T EVEN PAVE THE ROADS PROPERLY. WHAT MAKES you THINK they CAN provide YOU health CARE? Show me one successful government program that private industry can't do better....(outside of the military)
Look at your city counsel and state congress for not using the best materials and you'll discover the businesses vying for the contracts don't give a rat's ass about road longevity--they want to make repeat business on maintenance contracts. We shouldn't have asphault roads and maintenance should occur on the average of over a decade between small upkeeps. Instead of shooting the Government and only the government we should have the law of Lowest Bid revoked at the state level.
Engineering Management 101 is clear that the lowest maintenance solutions are the better solutions, cost the least, over time, but are the more expensive, in the short-term, and with contractual laws targeting lowest initial bid the businesses that feed on such substandard work lobby the crap out of your state legislators who rarely know anything of Engineering Mgmt to be sure they continue to have such contract bids.
What impact or importance does your job have that affords you a $6000 chunk to go to SS? In other words, if you tell me you're a programmer without an actual Engineering degree and knows dick about doing more than writing video games don't come whining to me when the Depression hits and your job skills are no longer in-demand, because no one gives two tits about playing a game or surfing the web when there are no freakin' jobs around.
I'll put it bluntly: Your job, my engineering jobs and programming jobs all exist because this country subsidized the Backbone for AT&T and the rest of the entire Industry in order to even have a f'n industry where you can bitch that you saw $6000 going to SS. The same goes for the Aerospace, Construction, Oil and every other traditional engineering industry where my skills and others exist with a joint relationship of public/private funds.
The Law of Cause and Effect has it's many spherical digraph connections and if you can't grasp advancing and investing back into our Nation's infrastructure don't expect a handout when your lifestyle goes into the toilet and you no longer see a paycheck on the horizon.
White collar jobs are no more guaranteed then blue collar jobs.
Investment in this Nation's Infrastructures [Waterways, Rails, Modular Power Grids, Fiber/Wireless, Solar, Wind, Algae Biofuels, et al] are the only means to seeing steady long-term economic stability, but I'll be damned if I let "Barry" syphon every idea, when it's convenient, and call it some grand scheme to lead us up this mythical mountain top.
I'm looking forward to seeing that pindick loose in November.
McCain has already stated he's only running for 1 TERM. That means I can actually vote for a Woman with more balls then both of them in 2012 and feel glad to know it takes a B***H to get the job done when the Dicks are too busy wagging the dog.
I'm 39, earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering followed by Computer Science and if these cowards can't come up with a joint Private/Public 25 year juggernaut to get this country moving forward so people from blue collar to white collar can be content in doing something that improves the lives of their fellow citizens then it's quites clear than neither one of them knows the meaning of ``The United States of America,'' first coined by Sir Thomas Paine.
More money needs to be invested into NASA with target goals that directly address the aims of Solar, Wind and Bio solutions to get the country's machine cranking out at full blast.
IRAQ should pay us $1 Billion, per month for the next 20 years, minimum in order to pay down a portion of their debt and make sure their surplus goes to rebuilding that nation and give it's people aims that directly helps the world instead of just swapping one dictator for another and have our US Government behind the scenes pulling the strings.

Flash excels at vector graphics. If you have animated or computer generated graphics as opposed to raw video than the files are incredibly compact.
Unless you're dealing strictly with raytracing those generated graphics are rasterized and not vectors.
Flash was the PowerPoint of the Web and suddenly Macromedia and Adobe decided, for everyone [by their merger], that we really want to live in a powerpoint presentation.
There is no reason to fault them for trying this business approach and it's up to the general consumers to show them differently by supporting alternative equivalents as they surface.
Something truly needs to be approached from a different perspective to produce equivalent results without requiring 4 massive GPUs to produce it.
To make this level of raytracing a reality there has to be more thought and redesign into how we go about it. This pure brute force approach is dying for a challenge that uses a fraction of the KWh and silicon.

You know nothing of the Sherman Act.

Any ideas for how they could make the sockets more durable?
Require the socket to be made of a thicker gauge of steel.
There you go again, using your knowledge of materials engineering to deliberately show up a homeless person.
