Of course most Slashdot readers probably don't opt out, they just fill in absolute rubbish to try and skew your statistics. Or is that just me?
On a slightly related note I got junk mail from my own credit card people the other day, offering a much better rate if I switch to their card, Unfortunately I'm to lazy to try and chase it up to see if I can switch from their card to their card...
I'm sure I've seen a story recently about an LCD with a tiny piece of RAM behind each pixel (Its not in my browser history so I can only assume I read it in some treeware). This was supposed to substantially lower the power consumption of the screen, but its only at the research stage at the moment. It'll probably come out the same time 18" TFTs become affordable
Its not just the US, I get a coaster with most PC magazines I buy here in the UK, and I wouldn't be at all surprized to find other European countries suffering the same way...
0.1MHz ZX81
1K RAM
Mono (But can't display an entire screen because dynamic screen to memory mapping doesn't have room)
External cassette deck
It took 9 years to compile LinuxLite, with much cassette swapping. It now NATS through a serial port card in the expansion slot, and out through the earphone. It doesn't saturate much, but no one can be bothered to hack it.
Its a classic case of Prisoners Dilemma. They have a lot to gain by cooperating, even more to gain if they can grab some of each others marketing space, but lots to lose if they both try and do it and end up in court. The numbers are probably such that it is a pipe dream, but a man can dream...
I've never seen a better implementation than in Forté where they are build in to the language. It to allows you define events on a class and has constructs such as event loop, when, register and deregister for responding to the the events. (Its a while since I've used Forté but I think that events can also be used for thread to thread communication, as well as distributed - cross partition communication)
This seems like the first step on the journey to when the big software companies finally face down the media companies in court and hopefully bankrupt each other...
Not that it'll help if you can't compile over 50k of stuff but I think that gcc has a kind of bootstrap installation where it somehow manages to compile itself. Of course I'm probably getting totally confused, as we managed to get a binary distribution for Solaris anyway.
.com == commercial, I think religious establishments may have a rather large number of back taxes to pay if they think they have a right to live outside.org
I reckon DNS is getting overloaded. We should keep it for what its good at - i.e. having a logical name for an IP address. This means that stuff like HTML can survive physical network changes potentially unscathed.
What we need is a better framework for searching that encompasses as many of the ways that people would like to slice the DNS space as possible. This would hopefully mean that the DNS hierachy's secondary job (of providing the name that a user types in to get going) would become less important.
Its never going to stop marketing types wanting well known URLs. But it would mean that user A who wants a DNS cut up by Geographic region could do that in the search framework, and user B who wants it cut up by industry area could do that too.
I'm expect that there are efforts in this direction, and that if I knew my RFCs better I could point to some.
Well I'm part of a team writing a web portal (how passé), how hard will I have to think to solve it in three lines of functional programming (or alternatively how long would those lines have to be)
Use IP numbers, can't see many people copyrighting those (though I heard a friendly mathematician copyrighted a bunch of large primes and then made the freely available). With search sites and bookmarks and the like you won't have to type them in very often. It'd have the nice side effect of blowing a lot of whining corporate markteting collateral out.
Maybe this would interest you more

The Basics Of RAM

· Score: 1
Secure deletion of data... Tells you how much data is kept in these supposedly volatile memory chips, and how to go about getting it out.
So these are the bastards who designed the Sun website, which in my opinion is one of the most incomprehensible and cluttered I've seen. I usually come along with a simple task like "what patches should I be installing for Solaris x" and generally spend about a quarter of an hour looking through the new interface that they have every month trying to find stuff.
You're overlooking the fact that most of Europe would probably like a way to chuck us obstructive Brits out so they can go ahead with becoming a Federation of States.
Well I guess Civilization II can take up the first 100 odd Meg or so, I guess we'll also need some media player that is as durable, and in this case a computer that will survive as well to run the thing on.
The author seems to be getting really het up about this idea that one company will control "Root.NET". It will only happen if we allow the protocols underlying to be proprietary. I have to wonder exactly what new protocols the lookup service will require (I guess any hosted applications may need specific protocols, maybe there is a use for BXXP). Isn't this the kind of stuff that CORBA has supposedly been doing for years.

Do you really care so much if they know which browser you are using? Or are there other bits of information that they are requiring...
A couple of hours to download, install, setup test and tune Oracle? That'll be the day.

Will using Crusoe yield a significant rise in battery life, or are there other components that do the majority of power eating?

Tell kids that today and the wouldn't believe it
Was that a deliberate troll? It seems to have had a pretty similar affect...

I think you're going to have a hard time finding strange attractors in a discrete space, most likely the program will just keep growing.

(think free cable TV with continuous scrolling banner ads along the bottom or top)
At least thats one problem I could fix with some masking tape...
I just tried to connect to hackernews and got a buffer overflow error, Should I be scared? or them? Or is it just thier 404?
Those who can't do tech support either do it anyway or call tech support (or perhaps manage or market)...?
