Doctors are legally forbidden to put up reviews of their patients online... What about their first amendment rights?
1. Someone must fix the healthcare insurance system before they can post reviews.
2. A patient's information is only important for someone who wants to extract profit out of him/her. Not too many people are interested in you as a patient. But many would be interested in you if you're a doctor of something that they need help with.
3. Patients outnumber doctors. Hence, an average number of reviews + lower standard deviation if patients write reviews of doctors.
1. Microbenchmarking becomes too difficult when two or more cores of different types are used
2. Inter-core communication takes a hit because you'll end up designing new flit routers (or even newer protocols) that efficiently route packets within cores that have different communication topology
3. Failure of one core can render the chip useless, whereas in the case symmetric multicore design, failure of one core means other cores are still functional and the company can market them separately.
4. Production issues involving 1,2, and 3 above.
Sheriff Dart has taken a stance against mortgage companies that are evicting renter's from homes that property owners are allowing to go into eviction. Sheriff Dart says, "Too many renters are being evicted for landlords' problems".
DBJ admitted to a bug.
I run qmail by the way. DJB writes good stable software but I get the impression he is not a good listener.
I'll give you a bit of "Trivia" fact about D.J. Bernstein. His father is Dr. H.J.Bernstein, another professor who is not a good listener, but talks a lot and complains a lot (he was kicked out of SUNY Stony Brook.) I hear that DJB never visits his father for years at a stretch. What does that tell you about his upbringing?
OK, you may disagree, but I've worked at banks and found that Excel use is widespread in mission critical applications, research, trading, and what not. Its like the swiss army knife for non-programmers engaged in decision making. They don't care about security issues (really, they wouldn't know if there was a security issue in any app until Legal departments tell them)
The philosophy for these situations is, 'if its not broken, don't fix it'. As long as Excel remains usable for corporate clients, upgrades and bug fixes will trickle is a slow rate.
My gripes:
1. It wants to install ask.com as a default search engine (I have nothing against ask.com, but why involve another company?)
2. Installs a foxit toolbar.
I guess, I'll go back to using acrobat 5.5 now.
I think the scientific method radiates outwards from the point where the experiment was performed:
1. Did you check if your world is upside down?
2. Did you check if you're on drugs?
3. Maybe the ball is made of material lighter than air?
etc.
Its not science if you didn't invoke hyperbolic doubt....(i think)

And that was ferry timetables :)
So I heard that you beat your wife. Guess that I can't trust you either.
Ok, but do you still beat your wife?
by making sure every i was crossed and t was dotted...
What a wife! Isn't that how all lawyers work?!!!!

we'll leave aside the fact that you've ommittted the thing that a renter owns...
Hey dude, i was just trying to score karma points. Can't you see?
Instead of using the Qantas the airline they could use Quantas to teleport stuff.
Definitely...definitely Quantas.
Can't we just be all wrong and get along?
Yes, you are wrong. Neither am I.
...can I encrypt messages with freakin' laser beams attached to the freakin' heads of the freakin' sharks? >

...but we can't tell you exactly how long you'll have to wait.
We don't know if we can or cannot tell you, or even whether you or someone else will have to wait

Eventually we'll end up with a dynamic multicore design which seems more promising than asymmetric designs. Some research has been done in this area (symmetric vs. asymmetric vs. dynamic via threading): http://www.cs.wisc.edu/multifacet/papers/tr1593_amdahl_multicore.pdf

If you want to smear the guy's reputation
I really don't want to smear/spear his reputation. Just explaining the origins of his reputation as someone who disregards suggestions
the part that most people here actually care about: his work.
A person's influence doesn't end with his work. His actions and arrogance are important too.
(really, they wouldn't know if there was a security issue in any app until Legal departments tell them)
Maybe that's the problem.
Now! thats what I call attention to detail! Have you thought, it could be the problem that caused other problems? Remember SocGen?

Yeah. Decision makers at banks have proved themselves to really intelligent lately, huh?
did I say they were intelligent?

I think the upgraded reputation of Dempsky will be worth more than $1000.
BTW, First
Ok, you're not First....how does that upgrade your reputation?
Its uncommon for D.J. Bernstein to admit a mistake (take qmail for example).
What is bigoted about adding a "mormon" tag when over 80% of the Utah state legislature are members of the LDS church?
I think its because we don't yet have Electric Monks to gather evidence.
Since they have to distribute the code so people can use their devices they could just switch to a free FS
Ok, slow down. They don't HAVE to distribute the code. They can distribute the binaries, and code on demand.
Well, by default it will.
Firefox: Add-ons, Plugins, Adobe Acrobat, Disable.
Internet Explorer: Internet Options, Programs, Manage Add-ons, Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper, Disable.
Someone will mod you up quite soon.
Foxit is my personal favorite.
My gripes:
1. It wants to install ask.com as a default search engine (I have nothing against ask.com, but why involve another company?)
2. Installs a foxit toolbar.

I'd like to think that the US isn't going to adopt the same kind of silly things that their old enemy did
If you look for brookhaven national lab on google maps, it'll appear blurry. Of course, google isn't the US.
If I release a ball and it goes up.....

I don't see bug fixes in that list.
Not fixes, just new bugs and R&D is working out some really complex ones.
