the 3c905C has a problem with negotiating full duplex under the 2.4.x kernels. If you force it to use full duplex or half duplex (this you would choose dependent on your hub/switch), then you will be fine.
You can really talk...The leader that was democratically elected in Israel by your colleagues and maybe you (however one may never know becuase you posted as an anon coward), killed Palestinians. This eyewitness account from a Dutch doctor living in North Wales (God knows what would happen if he was living in the USA) reveals Ariel Sharon's war crimes in the Sabra and Shatila massacres.
You all go on about IBM who did not order Hitler to kill any Jews and yet you go and kill any Palestinians you can get your hands on. Is it because the Jews are "chosen ones" and the rest of the world are worthless in your eyes?
Of course, there's still the problem of centralised control. What I would really like to see is a PGP or PGP-like solution where the user has control over their private key and each site grabs the public key when they sign up
SSL with client-side certificates does exactly that. (apart from it doesnt use PGP, just the technologies PGP uses).
You can just see it: "VW Golf driver causes major downs: car falls down cliff just after driver sold all his Microsoft shares in an online deal resulting in 5% fall in Microsoft's share price"
This announcement bodes well, very soon after truck driver caused accident in UK while writing a text message on his mobile.
"With this it's possible for the first time to check e-mail, do banking, check directions or call up information about the weather, traffic and the stock market while under way," Volkswagen said.
Let us hope "under way" means while stationary, because as the above poster quite rightly says, it could be very dangerous for drivers to do banking while at 50 miles per hour. Hopefully Volkwagen have made it so that the driver cannot do this while moving. However I dont see any wrong in letting the passengers using the facility.
There are demonstrably better abstractions for almost all problems that threads can solve. Co-routines
IMHO code that uses co-routines rather than threads for virtual concurrency, looks a lot uglier and therefore harder to read and understand. It may reduce the number of places in the code where the control can switch from one place to another, and potentially easier to debug, but if you write good code then it shouldn't matter where and when the control switches occur. Updates to co-routine based code in the future is a lot harder and can be prone to more error than update to multithreaded code.
First off, you posted at 12:16 PM, the article was posted at 11:57 am. That gives you a maximum of 19 minutes of reading time.
I read quite a few of the sections that interested me. A couple of sections I had skimmed over, leaving till later reading and I found many of the points noted in the article very informative.
Second, how do you know its slashdotted? If you read the article, then you read it already. Why are you going back?
I printed the article as soon as I saw it, this kind of article is something I jump at. however when recommendiang a friend to read it, he told me he couldn't reach it. I tried to reach again, the site was only responding with a MySql error.
I think you are a troll. Other opinions? Anyone?
You are entitled to your own opinion, but from what I have seen most trolls go and post "first post", "goatse" and those kind of non-intelligent posts. I am sorry if I have appeared as such, I meant to appear to be advocating a good read of this article.
This article is very informative. As a developer who uses threads every day, I learnt a lot with this article. This is the kind of article that helps you create software that waste very little resources, unlike most software written today.
Looks like the site has been slashdotted! Hopefully someone has mirrored it otherwise lots of people will not read it!!
At UCL, where I am a postgrad, the CS undergrad course migrated a few years back from teaching Miranda (a functional language), C++ and MIPS assembly to just Java and MIPS assembly to the undergraduates as their programming languages.
What they have noticed is that the students are much less competent programmers now than they were before.
This has been attributed to the over-emphasis of OO design to the extent that it is hard for the students to see traditional flow of the programs.
They are considering restructuring the course again.
However Java offers what very few languages do. That is "write anywhere", "run anywhere". Students can write programs on their own machines and run them on any of the department's machines such as Linux, Solaris, Irix, Windows. These programs can have GUIs, can use TCP/IP, can do lots of things that require platform specific libraries with other languages.
So students can write much more "interesting" programs with Java without worrying about platform problems.
But they don't learn about memory allocation and more important deallocation, and how to pass parameters (and how parameter passing works) etc. that they would learn if they were taught C.
I would advocate students learning assembly, C, how to write a compiler (and so learn what actually happens when they write a program), and then for software engineering purposes to use Java (they should be able to learn it themselves once they go through an OO course).
The new chip will be designed for the broadband era, allowing the games machines and other "intelligent" devices to communicate with each other or connect to the internet.
Sounds like the Intel ads, "better Internet experience". How a different chip allows the above is complete crap, its the software written for the chip that does that!
The fnord URL has mysteriously disappeared! ALso the link from MS's IPv6 research page has gone too! MS's PR department is obviously very quick and must be reading/. often
That is called price-fixing, and many if not all companies do adjust based on competitors' pricing. Just now that factor will introduced real-time. Take the example of petrol prices, most are changed when the other nearby ones have changed their prices. Exactly what in the UK, Esso (Exxon) pledge in their adverts "Pricewatch".
Having loved the original Populous games and enjoy games such as SimCity, RedAlert, Championship Manager etc., it is easy to see that the visual effects of a game attract the buyers and reviewers but the cleverness of the game actually will make you play it for longer than the first month or two.
Having AI take a much more active role recently in games can only be a great thing. After a while predictability in the games make them easier and less enjoyable to play. I for certain will be buying Black & White when I next visit the game store.
The point of DeCSS is to have the flexibility to watch the videos you *buy* in whatever manner you want. If I want to be able to convert the MPEG2 video to MPEG1 to watch on my portable VCD player, what is the problem? I do not want to pirate the movies I buy.
The main reason CSS was put onto DVDs is to stop people watching movies bought in other countries, so the movie companies could actually control prices for these movies.
CSS does not hinder pirating....it hinders consumers' rights to watch the movies on the player of their choice.
When Apple's advertise on television and other means their iTunes software with "Rip, Mix, Burn", are they not contributing to copyright infringement by enabling people to pirate copyrighted music and other audio? How do you think they would feel if the RIAA issued a cease and desist order on them for this...If someone from Apple is reading this, tell the hierarchy to concentrate on the real "pirates"...

Gromit does this and Totem can use Gromit when playing a video.
