'The Earth' is warmer at sunset? Where on Earth? It's always sunset somewhere. It feels warmer where you are at sunset because the air and ground have absorbed heat all day. The effect of solar wind and the earth's rotation and all that jazz has no perceptible change. How is this +5, Informative???
Doesn't this logic seem backwards? With Pixel Shaders 2.0 and 3.0 already a part of DirectX9 this article gives a feel of what to expect from PS/VS4.0 and other DirectX features hardware developers will be expected to deliver with the likes of R500 and NV50.
Shouldn't hardware vendors develop processing capability, then the software vendors implement the OS support? Or maybe I'm sensitive to the Evil Empire trying to dictate other computing advances through its 'embrace and extend' philosophy.
Compare this to CPU design, however - Microsoft doesn't dictate to Intel what extensions to add onto x86. Or do they? (puts on tinfoil hat)
How do these guys have any credibility? Aren't they just fanboys for whonever buys ads, or for whomever [SPIFFY CONSULTANCY COMPANY] says is the Next Big Thing. Want information? Ask RedHat. Ask Linus. Ask the folks at SuSE. What's next, Slashdotters panicking when Dvorak weighs in on kernel patches?
No kid knows C at 11. What parent is going to buy their kid a C compiler? And don't tell me that you downloaded and installed Linux, gcc, etc. at age 10. Oh wait, you (at least claim to) use Debian, so maybe you are as cool as your smugness indicates.
When I can host for $5 a month, why would I even bother spamming from home? This 'block traffic so people won't do bad things' is the first step on the slippery slope of 'Internet=WWW' and Belkin router HTTP redirects. When your kids ask 'Were you there when they sold the Internet?' what will you say?
I did not RTFA, and from experience, we don't need to. Highlights of the review:
Ugly interface. Not themeable. She tried to install it via RPM, then manually compiled some libraries on top of it which broke, conclusion it sucks. APT-GET rules
Please stop reading this site and consign it to the flames of web history. Page views are keeping it alive.
The TV producers or the TV purchasers? Or maybe it doesn't matter, since the government feels it has a vested interest in lining the pockets of the former at the expense of the latter.
Groovy HD quality? Right, on your 20" home set tucked in a bookshelf, while the sounds from the street, kitchen or cat play so nicely with the uber-nuclear 17.1 sound that you get with digital TV.
Face it, home TV has hit a wall, that other than going to the cinema, you really don't get the measurable performance improvement that your cash outlay would indicate.
Spare me the "any mention of ecology gets a lukewarm response from the public because their comfortable existence is threatened".
The problem with many so-called 'ecologists' is that they frame everything in terms of 'saving the Planet'. Here's a clue - the Planet will survive long after we're all dead. The Earth will be there when the sun becomes a red giant and eats it. We shouldn't save the Planet, we should save ourselves. Does the Earth 'care' if biodiversity diminishes due to pollution? Does the Earth 'care' if the light pollution causes algae disruptions in the Great Lakes? No. but we should.
This project is great at raising visibility and research focus in the fields of energy capture, storage and motor design, but these folks aren't the Messaihs.

This is the classic powerplay of the statists - set up a straw man scenario, get people to believe that the 'market' is 'free', then show its failures, thus proving the need for State intervention. A classic argument for this is health care (in the US, sorry for you non-US folks). The argument goes as follows: Health care is expensive, due to those rich capitalist pigs raising the prices of drugs. This conjures the emotional response of jealousy, and subconscious imagery of sick people dying due to 'greedy' doctors. This argument neglects the reality that government monopoly money (in the form of Medicare/Medicaid) was been pouring into the medical establishment for 40 years. Given a customer with infinite cash, any business will jack up its prices to infinite levels. Returning to the music argument, the industry has so manipulated the legislation that it is far from a free market (DVD encoding, DMCA, even region-encoded discs) that they can no longer claim the same right to protection under traditional law. It was only a matter of time, inevitable, that they would require blatant exemption and special treatment.
You mention Phoenix (of hated TCPA BIOS fame), Dell vs. IBM, Gimp (of Gimp v. Photoshop) and Debian (of Debian v. RedHat, and indirectly RMS and Perens).
You can't opensource a thing. What's next, Open Source supermarkets? OpenSource car mechanics?
Maybe you mean that there should be a non-vendor Help Desk that you could call, THAT actually might work. But otherwise, +1, Troll!
FLAC is a lossless compression algorithm, Ogg is not. Other than that, they're identical. Well, except for the fact that Ogg offers streaming and 'bitrate peeling' functionality, where a server can prune out data and preserve (some semblance of) the original tune.
How about free, albeit slow, cargo delivery? Get a tug to tow containers/gliders to a 'safe' distance from the traffic surrounding a port, point the glider at its destination, set its GPS coordinates, and let it go. 3 months later, your boxes of widgets arrive at their destination, where another tug picks up the stuff at the other end.

Ignorance is bliss, eh? Then care to justify your statements that the nForce was developed for XBox, then 'transferred over' to an Athlon chipset?
