With things like 'registered republican' or 'registered democrat' in place, I see no problem with this.. Majority of people that do vote also do not cover their political views anyway, so do we really need anonymous voting ? E-voting or not, this is the only way for voting to be accountable and truly verifiable.
Very true, also, it is high tax regimes that create criminal environments and disadvantage companies not the low-tax ones. By penalizing companies Obama is effectively undermining US economy, businesses are already moving outside the US. There are lots of lower profile firms that already moved their domicile to business friendly locations, the MS is just a high profile case, but illustrates where the problem is.
What is so amazing about this? There are a few predefined words that you have to 'scribble' instead of push a button, and that would be more appropriate and user friendly. To scribble or write "Spaceshuttle" like 10 times on that device might get annoying.
You are absolutely right man. Could you imagine if the Internet has been provided to them ? Every other dude would be on ICQ or similar client and we all would have lots of traces to follow.
The reasons to ban phones and the Internet on planes is ridiculous.
I suppose you meant that SPE can be assigned under hypervisor control to do some computational heavy task. The hypervisor actually resides on the general purpose core, but has an SPE available to it exclusively to perform SPE suited task like encryption. Thats all.
The three general purpose cores (3.2GHz each) on X360 is what gives Microsoft the edge here. You can have Natal on core 2, your game on core 1 and system on core 3, everything runs smooth and relaxed. That means the extension like Natal can really be complex and well done. On PS3 you have only 1 general purpose core, that gives you some perspective of limited options.. This architectural advantage gives Microsoft headroom for future improvement.
You are probably right, I do not use Adblock, just speculating whether they would do such a thing as replacing ads, considering they pay for the 'turbo' proxies.
Surely, like inject their own ads and replace the original from the sites. Slashdot ads strangely changed immediately I used the 'turbo' mode. I hope I am mistaken.
You are right, also, EU fines are not originated by some EU entity, or by EU itself, as it is perceived. Local EU firms ring the bell at EU antitrust commission and want some other firm contested, mostly some big US corporation like Microsoft. Behind every EU antitrust fine is some local firm and their law team.
That might also be a Linux community's fault. Linux never provided solid driver development kit. Look at Microsoft and their Windows WDK, I can only praise Microsoft for providing such a superior tools and resources to driver developers. Support developers, give them the best tools and they will follow.
real problem with GCC is that there are not enough developers working on it
Sony, Google and Apple that rely on GCC in everything from iPhone, OS X, Android to Sony's Playstation 3 should be dropping millions on this project. One would assume that the GCC developers are well off and covered by big corporate donors. Why is that not so?
Looking at GNU GCC web page, it really strikes me, that project of such an importance and gravity has such a poor on-line presence.
No wonder that the group of developers is very small then. GNU should really restructuralize and set their priorities straight. GCC is the very core, so GNU should focus that instead of doing gimmicky with GNUStep and other truly non-important projects at this time.
I can guarantee you that Apple and Sony managers are not even aware that their business is running on GCC. They do not know, do not understand or have no idea. Even if they would, the GCC page is not authoritative enough to sway their opinions or push them to take action. Sadly that is the reality of this world. People at helm are not technically inclined. They do not understand this.
Nice example how to run non-profit project and cover the developers is the FreeBSD and their foundation. freebsdfoundation.orgThere are lots of businesses donating, because they have a dedicated channel to do so. GNU/GCC is missing on a shitload of cash from Google and others. GCC is stagnating now, maybe because of what I stated, that is hurting everybody involved, those devs active on GCC and also those that have to use that software.
I would not discourage potential developers like this, we all know that GCC is not perfect and that is (partly) because there is no real open source project to compete with GCC. I wasted many hours of my life waiting for GCC to finish its sluggish job.
Years are passing by and the old problems with GCC are not disappearing. Thousands of developers have to struggle with it daily. There sure is a place for alternative compiler with different source code architecture, source code versioning system etc. that would suit different kind of devs that do not particularly like GCC's internals and how the code is managed.
Also contrary to all the claims, you can't mistype on iPhone virtual keyboard, once you learn that release-key trick, you just can't. Lots of people is under-informed about this. I do not need 'real' keyboard on the phone anymore, even I thought iPhone virtual keyboard would be pain and useless.. well, I was wrong.
I love KDevelop/GCC, but it is also nice to have some options. The massive reliance on GCC is becoming tiresome, especially if it still under performs, newest Intel's and Microsoft compilers are faster and produce better code..
The good old Watcom was rock solid compiler producing one of the best binaries at the time, also comes with good debugger and even decent IDE. It is open source now, see www.openwatcom.org. It has a stellar source base and potential to spawn another cross platform compiler to compete with GCC. It would be nice if we could swap GCC for something else.. This great and promising project needs developers badly!
Do not forget, it is Watcom that compiled and gave us Duke Nukem, Doom, Termial Velocity, Frontier and all the DOS4GW titles.
Virtualization came to life not to solve developer's voes, but to enable firms to sqeeze even more servers in a single rack (this is where the money is made on VM). You can run 8 or more virtual servers on one metal. The performance is terrible, of course, but developers hardly even use those resources, most the these servers are idling. Hosting companies are very happy with the results.
Slashdot Mirror
Smart naming, you can go a long way under such a guise and receive steady government funding.
That might explain why they carry on for decades without a sign of anything working.
I doubt they would survive under other name like '1000000 Jigawat laser experiment' or something similar, more crazy or more specific.

As you can see in this video

Fraunhofer guys invented MP3 compression, this German think tank do have results..
Also this is proof of concept. It doesn't really matter whether the resolution is 12 or 1024.
Press conference videos of the big 'three' (Microsoft,Sony,Nintendo) are here:
http://e3.gamespot.com/press-conference/microsoft-e3/
Microsoft won it for me, big time. Do not miss the project Natal introduction in Microsoft video (even with Steven Spielberg, pretty amazing stuff).
You are absolutely right man. Could you imagine if the Internet has been provided to them ? Every other dude would be on ICQ or similar client and we all would have lots of traces to follow.

The hypervisor in PS3 Other OS runs on a SPE core
How could SPE run an OS??
I suppose you meant that SPE can be assigned under hypervisor control to do some computational heavy task. The hypervisor actually resides on the general purpose core, but has an SPE available to it exclusively to perform SPE suited task like encryption. Thats all.
SPEs could do very narrow tasks only.
The three general purpose cores (3.2GHz each) on X360 is what gives Microsoft the edge here. You can have Natal on core 2, your game on core 1 and system on core 3, everything runs smooth and relaxed. That means the extension like Natal can really be complex and well done. On PS3 you have only 1 general purpose core, that gives you some perspective of limited options.. This architectural advantage gives Microsoft headroom for future improvement.
Exactly, look at Google, they offer you "Eclipse" and "Java" for production. Not even native code support.
Suddenly Microsoft looks super friendly.
You are probably right, I do not use Adblock, just speculating whether they would do such a thing as replacing ads, considering they pay for the 'turbo' proxies.
They're definitely doing more
Surely, like inject their own ads and replace the original from the sites. Slashdot ads strangely changed immediately I used the 'turbo' mode. I hope I am mistaken.

On the other hand you can get it ahead of schedule from MSDN subscription, if you are a Microsoft's gold or platinum certified partner.

needs developers like a fish needs a bicycle

Might be unrelated, but NASA has a funny opinion on this.

Lots of people is starting to look up in infrared. Interesting stuff is going on up there.
Watch this YouTube video for example:
ULM1RbK1Lwo
This is just a tip of an big iceberg.
I skipped tons of classes during my undergrad degree and this enabled me to actually assignments that I wouldn't have otherwise had time for
Like playing WOW, I assume.
you can inject this stuff into you and magically turn 16
24 would work for me, thanks.
only one real obstacle
With W gone, I don't see any.
