I won't mod you down but I'll ask a simple question: How can you not understand an interface where pointing with your index finger will do any of the tasks you would be used to with an iPhone, most likely with the exact same gesture?
There are ways, using the windows API, for any process run with Debugger privileges (any Administrator really) to read,write,terminate,create threads, etc in any other process. This was true in Windows 95 and still is in XP and probably Vista, except for protected processes.
It's not like they can just create a pointer and address the other memory space but using the API they can achieve the same thing.
This is what allows programs like xfire to inject into your game process or (as they mention in TFA) allows Warden to peek inside all processes to see if they are evil.
You know what, they've been working at it for a long time and even though they don't offer warranties, they do have a lot of people trying to catch the very few mistakes that it might make. And a very large client base to prove that it does work.
Oh the other side you have GeekTaxOpenSourceLinuxBeautyWithAFatPinguinLogoPro gram made by Joe who looks over the code after dinner and receives bug patches by email from time to time. Sometimes he fixes stuff.
Don't get me wrong, Joe is a good guy. It's just I wouldn't trust this years taxes to him.
Those countries have nothing to do with this. Its foreign, private companies who have to comply with the US rules and they have absolutly no incentive to do so. Then they develop cheap solutions to those requirements.
Funny, I'd like to see you say the following in future linux/microsoft bashing articles...
Though a competitor may try to make advances against Microsoft Corporation with revampments, Microsoft's already got the golden brand and in this industry the guy who's at the top stays there as people feel more comfortable using what everyone else uses... what's established. They're not going anywhere, move along.
I would assume they call it broadband because the 8 SPE's can communicate to each other over a 100GB/s link (called the Element Interconnect Bus -- yes, that's 100GB not 100Gb) and also because it provides plenty of SIMD instructions.
Oh yeah. If you read their web page they also mention the Cell processor will be able to handle broadband rich media applications and streaming content: The first-generation Cell Broadband Engine (BE) processor is a multi-core chip comprised of a 64-bit Power Architecture processor core and eight synergistic processor cores, capable of massive floating point processing, optimized for compute-intensive workloads and broadband rich media applications.
yeah.. that must be the most horrible example.. of both coding and optimization.. since the coding is poor and the optimization is going to happen anything from the compiler.
This is the real reason that software costs so much and why the developers get so upset about copying. But, hell, most of them are still using C or C++: the most backward, cryptic, and unproductive languages imagineable.
And what currently available language do you suggest developers use to create kick ass new console and PC games and why?
What is wrong with well-written C++ code as far as game programming is concerned? OO sure is the way to go anyway, if you want productivity, assuming you can write good and reusable code.
I think this kind of view of the world is why the US has so many enemies compared to any other country.
People are willing to give their life to kill americans, doesn't that give you a clue that they hate you? They don't hate you because you're white, or because your president is a total idiot, they hate you because you mess with things, people and countries you shouldn't mess with in the first place.
When other countries don't hate you so much, you don't need fancy space weaponry... or spend 50% of your budget paying rambo's to go get bombed in the middle east.
Yeah. anybody with half a brain (comp. engies who think they can code) can code. That's why they invented visual basic, wizards and code generation. As for writing good code, soft. engies and CSI guys will be there to hold your hand, don't worry.

No, in windows you ship your program with everything it needs in a whole bunch of.DLLs that will cause havoc if messed with. This is all dumped together in a directory so that you end up with the same dlls all over the place a couple times. Now ask yourself:
- Does that matter to grandma? no. - Does it fill grandma's hard-drive? no - Does it work as expected? yes - Is it easy? yes
It's not perfect but it's better that sudo'ing to install stuff you've hand-compiled....
We need to make it as easy but less evil (no libraries sitting everywhere!)
Oh yeah.. but the problem is that if you want software X that is not in Debian for reason Y, but on your friend's homepage, or course web page, or something else, you still need to tar -xzvf it and./configure it and everything or look through 50 different files for 10 different distros compiled with static or dynamic linking with 3 different versions of libraries with 2 different versions of GCC... That's neither user friendly nor easy to learn...
What we need is something like the.xpi's of Mozilla that install themselves where they belong and just work, but for any software. Something that just works.
Being the owner, administrator, user and programmer of many Linux boxes, I hereby disagree to your Linux License program and any fees implied/expressed therein.
In short. F\-/ck y0ur l4me 4ss of a company based on a l4wsuits business model. You'll have to pry this money from my cold, carpal tunneled hands. typos made to try to bypass angry filters.
This is so sad, so true, and represents how people in our society think.
They understand gambling, so gambling online must be like gambling in a casino and it's Not That Bad.
They don't understand online shooters, or violent games, or even computer simulations, so it must be: 1) addictive 2) full of graphical violence 3) only for kids 4) driving everyone insane.
This is the same reason why so many federal courts will fail to judge recent cases correctly or why old senators vote for dumb laws.

Let me get this straight. You're a drop out of high school who got a lousy job as a Perl programmer because he can spell Linux and writes shitty reviews with no details, nothing new and no useful information whatsoever while at work. Is that it?

You want Apple to follow standards? Why not start by following standards yourself and use something other than WMA? Convert it to something else!!

The kernel is GPLd and they need to distribute their kernel if they modify it.

More developers who get paid = more time for them to work on their projects = more code done.
This in turn gives the users more software.
