I hope it never is like spoken languages. I can hardly understand what my wife wants when I talk with her, why would a computer. Spoken languages are ambiguous.
Totally agree. Unless you are doing bioinformatics routines or building multimegabyte docs, you don't need the string buffer. Might as well keep the server busy while you are waiting for that 30ms query to complete.
Methanol is simply not that toxic. If you drink large quanities (ie, ounces), it causes a condition called acidosis, which leads to blindness and death (among other things). Trace amounts are easily eliminated from the body. If you don't drink it or bathe in it, you will be fine.
Uh, there are many other reasons for not passing hate crime bills that you didn't mention. I think that someone should be punished severely for lynching and dragging someone through the streets regardless of race.
Furthermore, Intel supposedly has a fairly simple hack that they could implement to allow their 32-bit systems to address up to 512GB of memory. Still, the cleanest and most future-proof way to address the 4GB ceiling is a larger pointer
They forget to mention that even if you can have more than 4gb on xeon machine you cannot address any single block of more than 4gb. Forget about putting your oracle db into memory.
This is mindless bunck. Hyrdrogen is just a way of transferring energy from point A to B, just like electricity. 2/3 of the cost of your electric bill is the cost of maintaining the infrastructure (lines, linemen, power plants). 1/3 is the cost of the fuel to MAKE the electricity.
Unless someone can explain to me how using hydrogen will result in a more efficient power distribution infrastructure, I think the case for hydrogen is hopeless.
Obviously if Americans gave a shite about our dependance on foreign oil they wouldn't be driving SUVs around.
Actually I would have to disagree. When the next IT upturn hits (if ever), they will need the couple of years experience, even if it was during a sucky job market. Showing that you were able to work in a bad job market show a future employer you are a good worker.
Porn is protected because politicians watch porn. My guess is that many of these politicians were getting calls from telemarketers at home... You figure it out.
It's interesting that he brought up the 70's auto market. He failed to follow through though with the fact that US corporations own controlling (or huge) interests in most of the overseas automakers. I don't think most corporations care where r&d is occuring as long as it adds to their bottom line.
To get around this without backdoors we put links on the login page with name/passwords to make it easier to develop. When shipped to the customer we remove the links.
It's kind of like giving them a set of dental tools. Teach the basics! I dont' want my children using a computer until they are (at least) teenagers.

Actually it is possible to do the things in the slashdot post your reference without doing the things you mention. People that do this become very successful AND respected. You are misguided if you think they are inclusive.
Its also an excellent way to get a good scholarship and builds character(you dont need to play football either, there are tons of things like golf scholarships out there). Geeks need to open their horizons as much as anyone else.
Thats why att/lucent went down the drain. Because of their goverment approved monopoly, ATT basically had to give away all their disoveries such as the transistor,UNIX, and fiber optics since they werent telco specific. When the goverment killed their monopoly, they were stranded without any IP, which is one of the contributing factors to the companies demise.

Liberals go the other way. Luck, circumstance, and opportunity play huge roles in where you are. Poor people are poor because of luck and circumstance. People get hit by trains because they might have just plain been unlucky. Your situation is a result of your environment, including dumb luck.

They don't need to check the wings better, they need to be 'on their feet' when there is and anomoly during lunch, and respond intelligently.

Why 'moores law' have to sneak into this article? A little bit of 'writers cruft'.

Fossil fuel is a resource. Hydrogen is not. Got it?

One way around this is to load the 'print view', if the web developer had enough insight to include one.
You can have speed increases with making the disk spin faster. When you increase the density of the sectors, the speed of the disk goes up.
at 100$ a kilogram that is pretty pricey. Maybe good for highly concentraed nuclear waste.

I am glad YOU are teaching your children all these things. But what do you think your school will use them for and what will they learn?
