In 2010 I visited a small town in Iwate where a high tsunami wall had been built 40 years before. In March 2011, the town has been completely devastated by the tsunami. Will the new wall be high and solid enough? That's an interesting question, but we won't probably know the answer (fortunately) before another few hundred years.
When geoblocking was easily made available to designers, project managers and above thought it's a good idea to put it everywhere. Like the frames (long time ago), animated gifs (a while ago), or flash crap (more recently). This is just annoying and can be worked around using a vpn. This restrictive feature comes from people who do not understand why the Internet should stay open, and shoot any restrictive measure when a new one shows its face.
Unfortunately that's serious "research". An article made from people who learned how a computer works through java and python. This is what you can expect.
It would rather be the other way around Win X => Mac OS X. MS did some progress thanks to the new CEO Nabilla. Mac OS did not happen to have deep changes with Cook. Mac OS is still the best "everyone" OS though. (and Linux the best kernel, but that's another story)
I had a 1972 Buick with an adjustable indicator needle on the speedometer. I always wondered why this feature wasn't standard in all cars
Maybe because nowadays most cars have a speed-limiter (cannot go fast than the given speed limit) and a auto-speed (keep going at the same speed unless the breaks (...) are used).
Problem also when passing another car - especially when the other car accelerates a bit at that moment. Sometimes you just need to be able to gain a few mph quickly and with no condition.

Promotion for discussion, a flamebait article that brought ~500 posts AON. Not bad.
A bad algorithm in C may perform worse than a good algo in Perl. Fortunately the C programmers do usually know what they're doing.
Maybe we should store our files in memory and load them into the harddrive to do calculations.
And the swap would be also in memory... What a fast swap we would get!
Oh they must have upgraded the ISO model recently

No, It's Not Always Quicker To Do Things In Memory
The title ("No, It's Not Always Quicker To Do Things In Memory") should be modded Flamebait, Troll or similar. If it'd be possible.
RAM *is* faster (by far) than any persistent media 9SSD, HD...). So whatever the test, the algorithm is probably bad,
Oh ok http://www.imdb.com/character/... where is the CERN in this???
Even when the guy you happen to pass is a dumbazz and accelerates right when you're on the other side of the road?
without further fact checking, is a complete idiot.
No just Wikipedia...
Who is Stéphanie?? Pretty?
So why my own post is -1 Troll and its below neighbor that says basically the same thing is +3. Strange, I tell you.
We've got only 1 AC on /. but (s)he posts a lot of crap.

That's how many weeks we have more to live before being crunched in a black hole.
those that haven't switched to html5 yet will do so soon enough.
What about IE6 users, you insensitive clod
If the browser is downloading the Flash files, why doesn't it apply the patch/fix prior to the Flash plugin executing them?
And why a browser should cope with 3rd party crap like Flash?
"The driver can override the speed limit by pressing "firmly" on the accelerator."
ok, but what if the driver, like me, didn't read the doc?
Oh, this one.

you never pass another car?
I'll pass.
If the system let you
