i agree.. ruling governments defined by oligarchies are typically skewed towards family agendas - last time i checked the constitution we were still a democratic republic so i guess it'd be nice to see the people make more informed choices around diversity instead of basing their decisions on family screen time or the gossip column
was just in the apple store the other day with a lady next to me that couldn't speak a lick of english except for "5 iphones please" - talk to the geniuses who sell these on a daily basis.. my guess is it's a hot ticket on most of the overseas markets.
This one looks to be about 22' on the ground - was the first one i came to, but wasn't signed in and couldn't figure out how to get the specific location again.. most unclear and pretty random sort of search.. but i guess volume is good.
agreed.. digging at the imdb entry for Speed Racer reveals the Sony F-23 which was unveiled last year with a japanese spec sheet here. The only major camera innovation i've seen in hollywood recently is the 3ality stuff who have probably upgraded their rig to use the latest Sony CineAlti. Done correctly you should have multiple images layered like the old disney cartoon/cell techniques to give an almost 3-D effect on a layered screen without the need for 3-D glasses.. (it looks pretty cool if you've ever seen it).. but if you don't know what you're looking at i could see where someone just says that it just looks like it's all in focus due the crispness of the image that better reflects what we can naturally see than a typically transposed camera shot
There's an excellent article here on the Arial/MS font bastardization issue.
Agreed.. I would much rather see the licensing and control flow back to the foundries like linotype who have a much better feel for layout and design than microsoft. If you're ever in NY, there's an excellent exhibit at the MoMA on Helvetica that has a 5 minute loop from Michael Price's excellent film.
That should have been covered in the conflict of interest hearings 6-7 years ago that divided verisign-registry from verisign-registrar.. the registry is the real sticking point here with their government appointed tax on every.com registration that passes through. Just think of them like the USPS (another government contracted private company that happens to have a monopoly on mail delivery.)
I think that this is what the "Everyone who disagrees with you is a moron" article is getting at. I'm guessing experts are training not to suffer from that disease.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, you moron..
wow.. I'm really perplexed at the lack of insight here.. if we're moving towards higher throughput, think about how many cores are tied up in processing I/O.. for example on PCIe moving at 10GbE (next leap) - would tie up about 2CPUs.. higher quality video and audio may tie up a few more, and then if you want to do anything on top of that - well now you're up to 5 or 6.. so 8 cores is a smart move.
As for power consumption - more cores do not necessarily translate into higher power consumption. If you look at most of the power waste in current PCs - it has more to do with cooling as you're keeping the clock high and then the increase in the number of devices that the current machine can handle. AMD did a smart thing with lower frequency multi-core 64bit architectures and Intel simply can't keep up after their IA64 disaster (no plan for backwards compatibility?).. apart from the microsoft and apple lock - it seems more like their flailing and spreading FUD to keep their reputation high.. this sounds too much like DEC in the early 80s
It all depends on how high you need to count and remember.. If you're not going over 4GB in memory you should be fine which then takes you into the familiar "640KB should be more than enough" argumentative realms..
As for 8 cores - it all depends on how well your code is written and how many things you'd like to do in CPU simultaneously.. but then again given the current state of most code that runs on windows or linux (monolithic kernels, poorly written thread libraries, expensive fork/exec models, etc) - I don't think too many people here would really understand that..
right - long term recovery generally involves gradually replacing addictions with other ones.. most AA meetings I've seen people move pretty quickly to coffee and smoking addictions.. the trick though is to find better addictions over time. Perhaps moving next towards programming addictions with good opensource projects and perhaps kernel development.
We're all addicted to things.. it's just a matter of determining if your addictions are destroying your life and others or enriching your life and others. It's always a long term process to get there.
Erm.. are there no kernel developers left on slashdot? I thought this was obvious from looking at the source progression. There was a single tree through 10.4.3, and it looks like they started forking code into a specific x86 branch starting on 10.4.4. While the x86 code contains mostly userspace utilities and code, most kernelspace code and modules are still under the ppc tree. You'll also see that all the IO modules are under the ppc tree *not* the x86 tree. You build the x86 kernel and modules from the code in the ppc tree people! This is the same thing that sun did way back when they started doing x86 solaris, and amd64. There's no reason to duplicate all the stuff that doesn't need to be duplicated, you just set different defines and targets..
Oh and btw, Jimmy Hoffa is under Giant's stadium (that's his evil twin who was killed somewhere in Kentucky), the magic bullet that killed JFK came from time traveling aliens, Mary Magdalene was a transgendered Judas, and GWB is really the antichrist with a 666 birthmark on his decaying liver..
Nothing to see here except conspiracy theories propogated from people who have no clue about source development.
So before you accuse the ISPs of being lazy, why don't you come up with a solution that scales globally and doesn't cost a trillion dollars and take 50 years to deploy.
tiered and distributed storage networks is next on the block, but we need a better revolution in how this done on a lower level.. taking a couple of lessons from recent computing history:
First we had a major bump in CPU speeds but still had a number of inefficiencies getting data onto and off the bus. Now we've got the bus issues mostly sorted out (PCI - > PCI-X -> PCIe, etc), but here we end up with problems getting enough bits in and out of tiers of storage and the locality of that storage.. if we could sort out the storage issue and leave behind this notion of "instantaneous streaming from a back-end distributor" brain-dead choke point architectures designed by bald monkeys who used to work in video production houses we could end up with a more intelligent network by design without spending trillions of dollars and taking possibly a few months to deploy.

yep - don't confuse bits per pixel (bpp) with color depth
..
6bpp is often used on cheaper LCD displays for faster transition or refresh
8bpp is Truecolor at a color depth of 24 bits
videophiles can test their systems here
no .. just the sex offenders
by-nc-sa is right in the Ghosts FAQ
- give credit
- can't be used commercially
- derivative works must follow the same license

Safari 3.1 (5525.9) = 5073.0ms +/- 11.6%
Firefox 3.0b3 = 8425.4ms +/- 2.0%
much less fluctation on the firefox results

And this is why, when you have a locksmith open a safe with a dead body stashed in it, you kill the locksmith and put his body in the safe as well
.. just lock him in the safe - this is where the radioactive isotope and the hydrogen cyanide should take care of the rest if Schroedinger was right
no
OTOH - the hype for all these roll-outs far exceeded my expectations ..

Perhaps that's because so many of them are BOHF, power freaks who treat "their" users like crap.
