It's that kind of stupid thinking that generates economic bubbles that end up in recessions.
Of course it's not the future of the web. The web is mostly a tool for people to get work done, to access to information and to entertain themselves. The desktop and laptops are the best way to experience all three of these things.
Mobile is just to get information on the go. It's a substitute, not the real thing. Entertainment on the go is basically low-quality games to keep you busy while waiting in public transport, and no one gets their work done using a smartphone unless they're quite desperate and it's the only thing they have access to. It's not the future of the Web more than RSS is the future of HTML.
No one in their right mind would choose to use a smartphone to do something when they have a computer that can do it far better.
She's a woman, and even worse than that, a baroness. Who would put any credit in what she's saying? She clearly doesn't know anything about children, science, video games, or even people.
For example some stuff from IBM. Their installers will refuse to install on any other linux variant, and rewriting the installers yourself is just not worth the effort.
PDFs are used for high-quality text rendering suitable to print long documents (papers, thesis, etc.).
Web technologies simply *do not* offer that kind of high-fidely rendering. Even the operating-sytem-provided font rendering is far behind the font rendering capabilities of most PDF viewers. Implementing PDF by making them render HTML is simply utterly stupid and pointless.
It's essentially like trying to view flickr in VGA text-mode. It's possible, but I don't think ascii art is quite good enough to convey the information behind HD photographs.
Why is a comment about a random guy saying he owns a Blackberry but envies an iPhone modded insightful in an Android thread? He's clearly trolling as well about Android/iPhone and Ubuntu/OSX.
I wasn't talking about disk I/O, but network I/O. Stencils are computed by replicating the borders during tiling. Doing a communication every time a node needs to access that zone is doing it wrong.
What distribution are we supposed to use now? Ubuntu has given up on its users, and is turning into an interface for the elderly, the disabled and netbook people.
I'd rather have my advanced UI that lets me do whatever I want with my workstation, thank you very much.
I've seen this kind of thing 5 years ago in research laboratories in the image recognition field, and it was running in real time. I know some start-ups specialize in that kind of things to make photos taken by smartphone much better. The smartphone makers put a crappy camera for the phone to be cheaper, and then fix it all in software. It works even better when you know the kind of faults the camera in certain smartphones have.
No real application gets close to peak performance on such a supercomputer.
And if you're limited by I/O, it just means you don't have a big enough workload. I/O and computation time should be overlapped so that you only pay for latency.

Why does that kind of shitty game sell so much?
It's analyse in British English

The game runs perfectly fine on Linux and Mac OS X.
Get your facts straight.

No, it won't.

On the contrary, template meta-programming in C++ is hot and trendy, it makes you feel young again.
That's the obvious solution.
94% of the 2.4Ghz bandwidth was used, not 94% of the people were using 2.4Ghz.
See you in 8 years.

It's not the default gcc version installed.
You can code a ssh daemon in javascript.
sshd is not a protocol, it's a daemon.
GCC 4.5 (and even 4.6 with a special repo) has been there since 10.10...

Those subjects are useless, and would be a waste of his time.
Have you ever seen anyone for which a degree in those fields helped them land a real job?
Why in your right mind would be using any of these?
